SUMMARY:Hill-Stead Short Course - Impressionism: French Origins\, American Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nDescription:\nFew chapters in the history of modern art are more loved and revered\, more foundational and debated than the story of French impressionism. The group of painters who initially brought this style of artmaking to world-wide fame was initially small but with each passing generation their supporters and followers have continued to grow. Now\, more than 150 years after the first impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874\, the scholarship concerning this style of painting is so extensive that it is difficult to summarize. This short course of 6 lectures confronts this daunting situation head on by breaking impressionism down into key artists and themes central to the movement\, focusing specifically on its original practitioners in France and those who later adopted the style in the United States. By analyzing the work of a celebrated French master like Edgar Degas alongside that of his American follower Everett Shinn\, for instance\, or the paintings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir in conjunction with those of William Glackens\, the transatlantic ramifications of impressionism and the enduring power of Hill-Stead’s collection are clarified.\nNo previous course work in art history is required and no background reading is assigned. An informal syllabus of additional reading\, however\, is provided for those who are interested. Each lecture will run about 45 minutes. The sessions will be followed by a Q&A and informal wine reception.\nSchedule (Spring 2025): (Every other Thursday at 5:30PM at Hill-Stead)\n20 Feb 2025 – Manet\, Sloan\, and Critique\n06 Mar 2025 – Renoir\, Glackens\, and Leisure\n20 Mar 2025 – Morisot\, Henri\, and Portraiture\n03 Apr 2025 – Monet\, Hassam\, and Light\n17 Apr 2025 – Degas\, Shinn\, and Spectacle\n01 May 2025 – Cassatt\, Bellows\, and Gender

SUMMARY:Jeremiah Chechik: Explorer
DESCRIPTION:Jeremiah Chechik\, award-winning photographer\, film director\, and producer\, considers himself first and foremost a photographer and is obsessed with the boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality\, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic – they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media saturated age.

SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:“Here is where finally opposites come together\, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth\, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi \nWhile the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone\, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel\, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work\, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc\, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective\, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin. \nWriting about the unique materiality of his sculptures\, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern\, fine art and design\, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States\, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity\, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes. \nFeaturing a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures\, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first\, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities\, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel\, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains\, fruit\, and sky in the second grouping\, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that\, in modernity\, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction\, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas\, weight and weightlessness\, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures\, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed\, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects\, spaces\, and people in a network of cast reflections\, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life\, his practice\, and themselves. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is curated by Julia Mun\, Curatorial Associate\, with support from Ashley Holland\, Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives\, and Javier Rivero Ramos\, Assistant Curator. The presentation at the Bruce is organized by Margarita Karasoulas\, Curator of Art. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges.

SUMMARY:All The Unexpressed Love: Works by Miguel A. Aragón
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: April 13 – May 18\, 2025 \nThrough his work\, artist Miguel A. Aragón explores subjects of violence\, memory\, and perception\, transforming difficult images into catharsis. This series is a deeply personal collaboration with Aragón’s late mother\, whose crochet and personal effects are the foundation of the artwork. It is a conversation between past and present\, between mother and son\, between the finite nature of our existence and the connections that endure across time. \nMiguel A. Aragón was born in Juárez\, México. He lives and works in New York City (USA) and Berlin (Germany); he is an Associate Professor in Printmaking and Chairperson of the Department of Performing & Creative Arts\, College of Staten Island\, CUNY. He has exhibited extensively both in the US and internationally. He’s received numerous awards including the 2022 Southern Graphics Council International Mid-Career Printmaker Award. He was Artist-in-Residence at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in May 2024.
