Art Exhibit: Otherness²: Hiding in Plain Sight by Lee Ann Harrison-Houser, Richardson Family Art Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Otherness²:
Hiding in Plain Sight explores the outsider’s perspectives and the impact of
“Othering.” During the creative process, Harrison-Houser pursues authenticity
and begins to reveal untold stories in her work. However, she instinctively
hides within the mark-making with her use of symbolism, sgraffito, and
abstraction. Layer after layer of gesso and paint erase her disclosures.
Subsequently, the art installation shares these stories only in a type of
Hide-and-Seek game for the viewer. For deeper connections, the viewer
physically moves to a separate space to match the conceptual titles back to the
abstract squares. Through this physical movement and mindfulness, the
storyteller role shifts away from the artist and moves to the viewer to create
awareness, conversation, and the momentum for change.

Art Exhibit: Props: Personal Identities in the Portrait Photography of Richard Samuel Roberts, Richardson Family Art Museum (lower level)
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))

Props:
Personal identities in the Portrait Photography of Richard Samuel Roberts
The
term “props” brings to mind the objects used in the theater that help establish
the meaning of a scene. In this theater context, the word is shortened from
“properties,” things collectively owned by a theater group. But could the term
also reflect the notion that props show “properties” of a character, offering
layers of information and meaning to a viewer.? “Props” is also a slang term,
meaning “proper respect.” In this show, we analyze the props in photographic
portraits taken by RSR between 1920-1936 to see the way that the “props”—most
often objects chosen by the sitters themselves—tell us something about the
self-identity of the sitters. The objects chosen often underscore the proper
respect due the sitters based on their attainments, but also can give
insights—in an otherwise very formulaic genre—into the inner desires and
predilections of the sitters. Props thus can help us see beyond the surface,
or, perhaps conversely, can reify socially-agreed upon tropes.

Art Exhibit: Southern Gothic: Intersection of Art and Literature in the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum (upper level)
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Southern
Gothic: Intersections of Art and Literature in the Johnson Collection
From Edgar
Allen Poe’s haunting tale of The Gold Bug (1843) to Flannery
O'Connor’s biting short story “Good Country People” (1955), the Southern
Gothic literary tradition has exhumed the American South’s aberrations,
contradictions, and unique sense of dark humor. Drawing exclusively
from the Johnson Collection, Southern Gothic examines how
nineteenth-and twentieth-century artists borrowed from their literary
peers, using a potent visual language to address the tensions between the
South’s idyllic visions and its historical realities.This exhibition is
guest curated by Elizabeth Driscoll Smith, a Ph.D. candidate from the
University California, Santa Barbara, and the Johnson Collection’s 2019
graduate fellow.
