Greetings from Bates!
This is a correction to the October listing of public events at the college that was sent on Sept. 26.
That edition provided an incorrect date for a performance by Vanessa German that opens her exhibition at the Bates College Museum of Art. The correct date is Oct. 25. We regret the error.
Here’s the corrected listing, followed by more information about museum exhibitions:
25 Fri
5pm | Vanessa German: Renowned visual and performing artist German opens her exhibition Miracles & Glory Abound with an open-ended song/poem that explores love, vulnerability, intimacy and power. FMI museum@bates.edu or 207-786-6158.
Olin Concert Hall
Bates College Museum of Art
Exhibitions Oct. 25–March 28
Vanessa German: Miracles and Glory Abound: The familiar painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware” by Emanuel Leutze is the starting point for German’s sculptures. Using her own power-figures to imitate Leutze’s composition, she sparks a conversation about public memory and rewriting history through the lens of privilege.
Ralph Eugene Meatyard: Stages For Being: Bringing concepts from Zen Buddhism and Surrealism to his photography, Meatyard (1925–72) painstakingly staged images in rural Kentucky that, working on multiple levels, are best read like poetry that uses symbolic language to provoke reflection and revelation.
