“Les Baigneurs,” a lithograph by Paul Cezanne, appears in the Museum of Art exhibition “25.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Two important exhibitions at the Bates College Museum of Art are in their last days.<\/p>\n

Tale Spinning<\/em> explores different conceptions of the act of storytelling in media from video to sculpture to watercolor by six renowned artists: Enrique Chagoya, Lesley Dill, Brad Kahlhamer, Shirin Neshat, Nicky Nodjoumi and Alison Saar.\"\"<\/p>\n

25: Selections from the Permanent Collection<\/em>, an exhibition marking the art museum’s 25th anniversary with an in-depth exploration of the museum’s holdings, includes work by Paul Cezanne, Mary Cassatt and noted Maine artist Charlie Hewitt, among many others. \"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 17, is the last day for the exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Tale Spinning<\/em>, explains museum director Dan Mills, is “essentially an exhibition of artists who, in very different ways, have a strong narrative component in their work. They come from diverse backgrounds, and they tell tales incorporating aspects of their personal and cultural stories, of history and their imaginations. “It is a group of extraordinary artists who spin tales worth seeing.”<\/p>\n

Each employs different aesthetic, conceptual and narrative strategies, resulting in imagery and stories that take many forms.<\/p>\n

25 <\/em>ranges widely through media and historical periods, from historic prints and pre-Columbian ceramics to contemporary painting and photography. It highlights significant gifts to the museum, as well as acquisitions reflecting the museum’s role in Bates’ academic mission.<\/p>\n

The museum is open to the public at no cost from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and till 7 p.m. on Wednesdays. For more information, please contact 207-786-6158 or museum@bates.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
