Organized by Visiting Assistant Professor Stephen Whiteman, with translations by a number of colleagues in the College’s Chinese and History Departments, this installation demonstrates the endurance and continued vitality of Chinese calligraphy. Works on view, all from the Museum’s collection, are primarily contemporary inscriptions of revered texts. A manuscript dating to the 7th century C.E. and some of the accoutrements of the art of calligraphy are also included.

Multiples: 20th- and 21st-Century Art

May 19–Ongoing
Drawn from the museum’s permanent collection of prints, this survey includes recently acquired lithographs and silkscreens by John Baldessari, Sarah Sze, Sam Francis, and John Wesley, among other artists.

This installation, which changes regularly, features highlights of the Museum’s collection of Western art from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century.

On view in this gallery, in addition to a dramatic suit of Japanese ceremonial armor, is a wide range of East Asian ceramics: Chinese funerary sculpture from the Han (206 B.C.E–220 C.E.) and Tang (618–906) dynasties, celadons and other wares of the Song dynasty (960–1279), and blue-and-white enameled porcelains of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing dynasties (1644–1911).

Special Exhibitions 



On view through October 28:

Camera Work: Stieglitz, Steichen, Strand, and Company


Middlebury College Museum of Art, Overbrook Gallery

First published in 1903, Alfred Stieglitz’s magazine Camera Work quickly became one of the most influential photographic journals in the country. Created in response to the emergence of haphazard snapshots being taken by vast numbers of amateur photographers using Kodak box cameras, Camera Work set the standard for photographic art. Focusing on the work and philosophy of the Photo-Secession, an elite group of invited members presided over by Stieglitz, the magazine promoted photography as a means of personal expression through articles about artistic issues and illustrations of fine art photography. Free.

 

On view through December 9:

China Modern: Designing 20th Century Popular Culture


Middlebury College Museum of Art, Christian A. Johnson Memorial Gallery

China Modern is a vast and substantive exhibition, of approximately 175 objects, that takes an in-depth look at the rich tradition of Chinese designs and styles in advertising, packaging, and promotional art for cinema, music, comic books, pulp fiction, fashion, games, and toys. These iconic images chronicle China’s changing attitudes and identity and its transition to a giant commercial superpower. The exhibition was developed by the Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena, California, and the tour was organized by International Arts and Artists, Washington, D.C. Free
