Two Exhibits: A Time and A Place: 听the Photographs of Sonny Brown & Richard Hunt: American Sculptor
September 20 鈥� October 29, 2017
The McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries presents two fall 2017 exhibits: 听A Time and A Place: 听the Photographs of Sonny Brown,听from the University Archives听and听Richard Hunt: American Sculptor, September 20 鈥� October 29, 2017. Everett 鈥淪onny鈥� Brown, photographer with the Evansville Courier newspaper in Evansville, Indiana from the 1950s 鈥� 1980s, donated many personal and professional negatives to the Rice Library Archives before his death in 2015. This retrospective showcases Brown鈥檚 Midwest from the 1960s-80s, juxtaposing the historical and political with the culture and lifestyle of the region.
The Sonny Brown exhibit was curated by former 91社区 art faculty member Kristen Wilkins and funded through a 91社区 Faculty Research and Creative Work Award. With the grant, student assistant Hannah Spurgeon and Ms. Wilkins separated and examined 150 rolls of film negatives, and then took them into the darkroom to proof and print. The exhibit is comprised of 90 of Mr. Brown鈥檚 photographs.
Ms. Wilkins will present a free public lecture on the exhibit, 鈥淭he Artist in the Archive: A Love Letter to the Photographic Object鈥� on Thursday, September 21 at 6 p.m. in Kleymeyer Hall in the Liberal Arts Center on the 91社区 campus. A reception for the exhibit follows in the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries.
The听Richard Hunt: American Sculptor听exhibit is a display of Hunt鈥檚 prints and handmade paper pieces from the University Art Collection. 听Richard Hunt, an internationally known sculptor, was commissioned to create the artwork,听From Our Past Toward Our Future, located on the 91社区 Quad, for 91社区's 50th anniversary in 2015. Mr. Hunt will be returning to campus October 11 -13 to present a free public lecture and interact with art students and faculty. 听The lecture will be held on Thursday, October 12 at 7 p.m. in Carter Hall in University Center West with a reception following in Carter Hall.
