CURVEBALL: AMERICAN SPORTS AND MYTHS

Schmidt Center Gallery

Opening Reception: January 11, 2024 6:30pm

On View : January 11 - March 23, 2024

Populated with toy figurines of quintessential sports icons, this exhibit of large-format Polaroid photographs captures some of the most iconic moments in the history of baseball through the lens of celebrated artist David Levinthal’s signature dioramas. Paired with historical collection from the Avron B. Fogelman Museum, this exhibit looks at the mythical place help by baseball and other sports within American culture. Fundamentally, Levinthal is a collector. He gathers Americana—toys and tchotchkes representing American identity—and photographs them in constructed worlds. He meticulously pursues archetypal topics from his childhood that he examines with analytical research reinforced by his education at Sanford (BA 1970), Yale (MFA 1973), and MIT (MBA, 1981). 

This exhibition features works from David Levinthal and artifacts from Danny Phillips' and the Avron D. Fogelman's collections.

On View : January 18 - March 1, 2024

The Dreams of our Fathers: Environment, Technology & Urban Landscapes gathers artists who use technology as a tool, a subject, or a metaphor in their exploration of our contemporary culture of consumption and growth while reviewing its impact on our landscape. From reflections on the petroleum industry to criticism of industrial processes and their effects on our environment to analyses of migration patterns and suburbia's surreal but nostalgic plastic landscapes, these artists explore the human footprint and its legacy on our world. This curatorial project by University Galleries Director Veronique Cote brings together artists from across the United States and Canada. 
 

This exhibition features works from Paul Granjon, Alison Helm, Matt Kenyon, Jason Lee, Jean - Rene Leblanc, Nan Smith, Clint Sleeper, Carin Wagner, and Scott Yoell.
