Exhibition Opens: "Race and Representation: The African American Presence in American Art"

Aug 20 (no reception)

Drawn from the Weatherspoon’s permanent collection, this selection of artworks of different media and time periods will explore and affirm the fundamental interconnection of the African American presence in American visual culture. Race and Representation opens on Saturday, Aug 20 and runs until Nov 20.

Exhibition Opens: "Fritz Janschka: My Choice: 'Joyce' "

Aug 20 (no reception)

Fritz Janschka has been fascinated with the work of James Joyce throughout his artistic career. Likely one of the few people who have read the bulk of Joyce's work, Janschka has drawn inspiration from it to create paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture that are as fantastical, witty, and filled with sly social commentary as Joyce's writings are. Featured in this exhibition are selections from two series of artworks, Finnegans Wake and Chamber Music. Fritz Janschka: My Choice: "Joyce" opens on Saturday, Aug 20 and runs until Nov 20.
