SUMMARY:Sacred Space: A Brandywine Workshop and Archive Print Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield University Art Museum is thrilled to announce the opening of its latest exhibition\, “Sacred Space: A Brandywine Workshop and Archive Print Exhibition\,” on September 20\, 2024 in the Museum’s Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts. \nSacred Space\, organized by guest curator Juanita Sunday\, draws on the rich history of the Brandywine Workshop and Archives\, founded in Philadelphia in 1972 by artist Allan Edmunds. As of 2023\, FUAM is home to a Brandywine “satellite collection” – the only such collection in Connecticut\, and one of only 18 in the United States\, including the Harvard Art Museums and the Library of Congress in Washington\, D.C. This exhibition features works from the Museum’s own collection as well as loans from Brandywine itself. \nSacred Space encourages a deep exploration of spiritual connection\, inviting viewers to reflect on the ancestral wisdom and memory passed down through generations. The exhibition serves as a portal into the interconnected realms of spirituality\, time\, space\, memory\, and culture. The artists pay homage to their forebears\, drawing upon cultural traditions\, rituals\, and sacred practices to honor and preserve\, as well as question\, the invaluable heritage that shapes our identities. \nIn addition to the prominent works from the Brandywine Collection\, the exhibition will also feature local artists whose works are responding to the themes in Sacred Space. Artists invited by curator Juanita Sunday include Aisha Nailah\, Iyaba Mandigo\, Greg Aime\, and Arvia Walker\, and Rebecca Fowke. \nA wonderful selection of programming has been created to complement the exhibition\, including a an opening night conversation between the exhibition curator and nico w. okoro\, followed by a performance by Lauren Horn; an opening night reception with a spoken word performance by Iyaba Mandingo; an artist’s talk by Arturo Lindsay\, D.A.\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of Art and Art History at Spelman College; and a lecture on the historic impact of the Brandywine Workshop by independent curator and educator\, Halima Taha.
