Framing Sukkot

Mathers Museum of World Cultures

What does it mean to be home? What does it mean to remember the past? These are just two of the topics examined in the photography exhibit, Framing Sukkot. In exploring the ritual structures known as sukkah, memory and the act of remembering are also explored. The Jewish holiday Sukkot serves as a point of reflection on cultural and personal pasts as well as an opportunity through which to create new family and community memories. Traveling to Tel Aviv, Brooklyn, and parts of Bloomington, the exhibit looks at simple structures built by homeowners that serve to connect modern people with ancient practices and histories, including the events recounted in the story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt.

Remembering and Forgetting

Grunwald Gallery

Memory is a rich theme in the history of art and many contemporary artists employ it in their studio practice. The exhibition Remembering and Forgetting will be an opportunity to explore the visual variations in how artists portray memory, and the complex visual manifestations of how remembering and forgetting is a part of personal and collective experience. Through an open call, Remembering and Forgetting will feature the work of artists in the School of Art, Architecture + Design and from the Bloomington Community. The exhibition will feature works in film and video, objects and paintings, installations, photography, and other media, creating a varied and engaging exhibition accompanied by gallery talks by the artists.
