After several years in the works, the Museum is excited to present An Invitation to Awe, curated by Associate Professor of the History of Art and Architecture Katy Smith Abbott in collaboration with her students and colleagues. In this exhibition, older paintings and prints are displayed in conversation with contemporary objects, scientific equipment, and interactive work that compels the viewer to think of how awe is experienced through senses other than sight and to expand their own understanding of where awe lives now. Professor Smith Abbott will give a talk about the making of the exhibition at 5:30pm, followed by hors d’oeuvres and drinks (cash bar) at 6pm.
In his prints, sculptures, and films, multi-disciplinary artist Dario Robleto incorporates a deep fascination with science, history, sound, medicine, and human empathy. His 2024 film, Ancient Beacons Long for Notice, is currently installed at the Middlebury College Museum of Art as part of the exhibit, An Invitation to Awe. He will join Guest Curator Katy Smith Abbott in conversation, as they explore Robleto’s conviction that “awe is a courtship with the unknown.” Cosponsored by the Department of History of Art and Architecture.
Join us for a talk by Rose-Lynn Fisher, an artist featured in the exhibition An Invitation to Awe, who uses microscope, camera, and mixed media to explore the realms within realms we inhabit, in work that evokes a continuum of interconnections and wonder. Afterward, stay for conversation over a light lunch in the MAC Lower Lobby. Cosponsored by the Department of History of Art and Architecture.
This event is free and open to all, but $5 donations are welcome.
Join the Friends of the Art Museum as we consider our next gift to the museum’s collection. Assistant Professor of Psychology Mike Dash will present three works of art for possible purchase, and the members of the Friends will vote to determine which work gets added to the collection. The evening will also feature a buffet dinner and cash bar (each event ticket will include one free drink).
If you’re not currently a member of the Friends, be sure to activate or renew your membership to guarantee you’ll be able to vote.
The Detroit Institute of Arts has one of the best collections of historic American art in the world, with a particular strength in the period 1660 to 1915. Kenneth Myers, curator of American Art and longtime head of the department of American Art, will discuss the ideas informing the recent reinstallation of the collection which is organized chrono-thematically to highlight ways in which art objects reinforced or challenged culturally dominant assumptions about gender, race, and Americanness.
