THE SPIRIT OF THE SIXTIESART AS AN AGENT FOR CHANGE

FEBRUARY 27 – APRIL 11, 2015

The artists represented in this

exhibition created work engaged

with the political, social, and

cultural climate that defined a

turbulent period of American

history. Some of the work

champions specific organizations,

including Amnesty International and

the Methodist Student Movement,

which published motive—a radical

and influential arts-oriented

magazine. Other artists took up

particular causes, including the

environment, civil rights for

African Americans and Native

Americans, as well as peace at a

time when the nation was immersed

in the controversial Vietnam War.

The exhibition features a number of

prints and posters from the sixties,

as well as works from the

subsequent decades, reminding us

that artists continue creating art

that speaks truth to power and

makes social injustice visible.

Curated by senior art history majors

Kyle Anderson, Aleksa D’Orsi,

Kimberly Drexler, Lindsay Kearney,

Callie Marx, Gillian Pinkham, and

Sebastian Zheng, under the

direction of Elizabeth Lee.

BONESRepresenting the Macabre

Bones are a vital part of us: in life, beneath our skin, they form the living structure that animates our bodies; in death, stripped of flesh, they hauntingly remind us of our mortality. From the medieval danse macabre to the Mexican Día de los Muertos celebra-tions, bones—particularly human skeletons—fascinate us. We find them entertaining and comical, yet frightening and gruesome. When reanimated in art and imagination, they often participate in lively scenes representing evil and death, vanity and time, and ancestors and the afterlife. Yet, in more rational contexts, skeletons and bones are informative and the object of scientific study. Bones: Representing the Macabre features visual commentaries on war, illustrations of the Biblical Apocalypse, scenes of spiritual resurrection, and anatomical drawings for scientific study. The exhibition includes a number of prints from Georges Rouault’s evocative series Miserere, which compares the suffering of World War I to Christ’s Passion. The twenty-three objects from The Trout Gallery’s permanent collec-tion and the Special Collections of Dickinson College illustrate how the bones inside us have come to represent a wide range of meanings and reveals intimate human attitudes regarding life and death.

Ceramic Vessels from Ancient GreeceSummer 2015K–3rd gradesThis program explores ceramic vessels from Ancient Greece to learn about Greek daily life, as well as the essential role of ceramics in everyday activities and in special ceremonies. Kids will have the chance to engage in everyday Greek activities and live a day as an Ancient Greek kid. Percy Jackson and the Olympians4th–8th gradesAncient Greek mythology has captivated audiences for centuries, including present day fans of Percy Jackson. In this program, kids explore the lives of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures of the Ancient Greek world through their representation in ancient vessels on display in the museum. Visit The Trout Gallery and embark on heroic adventures through time—like Percy Jackson.

Seasons of ColorK–3rd grades Winter, spring, summer, and fall bring changing colors and moods. In this program kids explore the seasons by discussing works of impressionist painting on view at The Trout Gallery and related music and dance. An exploration of the seasons includes move-ment and art activities designed to conjure the many moods of seasonal weather.

The Science of Color4–8th gradesHow do our eyes see color? And how are the colors of light different than the colors that come from a can of paint? Explore these and other questions about how color works through an examination of impressionist paintings on view at The Trout Gallery. Each program culminates in scientific experiments using pigment, light, and optics.

Programs are free and open to the public.

Happy Trails, Kimberley Nichols

In December 2014, after sixteen years of distinguished service, Kimberley Nichols stepped down as director of Design Services at Dickinson College. During her tenure, Kim oversaw the remarkable development of graphic design support for The Trout Gallery. Working with Pat Pohlman—the new director of Design Services, Kim produced a wide range of printed materials from invitations and brochures to award-winning exhibition catalogues. Kim’s book designs appear on the shelves of the world’s leading art book publishers and distributors, including the University of Washington Press and D.A.P. One has only to visit the “Publications” tab on the museum’s website to enjoy samples of her work and to gain a sense of her extraordinary design skills.

Kim’s artistic and administrative abilities are matched by her kindness, good humor, and boundless patience. On countless occasions, Kim graciously handled my ever-fussy requests and all-too-frequent, last-second corrections. I will miss my walks across campus to meet with her on pending publications.

Among her many design accomplishments, Kim’s work on the exhibition catalogue for the artist/activist Sue Coe, is particularly noteworthy. At the exhibition opening, Coe was overwhelmed by the catalogue design, proclaiming it the finest publication of her work. This moment was captured at the exhibition opening, as she and Kim paused to page through the freshly bound book (see facing page; l to r: Sue Coe, Kim Nichols).

On behalf of The Trout Gallery and its friends—particularly those who know the museum only through its publications, thank you, Kim, for all that you did to present the museum in the finest light.

Sincerely,

Phillip EarenfightDirector, The Trout Gallery
