War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - Tue 1510:30 AMAllan Hacklin - Then to Now: 30 Years of RoamingCampus Life | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)

Combining political and artistic values, proponents of the Arts & Crafts movement used decorative arts to imbue art and beauty into the home. In addition to wallpaper, furniture, ceramics, and textiles, Arts & Crafts workshops produced carefully designed printed works that disseminated the movement’s ideals. The long history of women performing domestic craftwork meant that women were uniquely qualified to serve as contributors in Arts & Crafts workshops. This exhibit explores the origins of Arts & Crafts printing while seeking to highlight the contributions women made to the movement.Exhibition begins on the 3rd floor of Case-Geyer Library with an exploration of the originators of the Arts & Crafts movement in England and the spread of the movements' ideals. It continues on the 2nd floor of the library with descriptions of the design of handcrafted books, followed by an examination of two New York State Arts & Crafts printing presses. - Fri 188:30 AMGuided Morning MeditationCampus Life | Chapel House, Meditation Space

On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse transited across central New York - its path of totality falling only a few miles from Colgate's campus. Spectating this astronomical phenomenon became a mass social event: nearly a million people flocked to the region.Watch Party, an immersive multi-channel video installation, recreates this event, capturing the scene on the ground rather than the skies.Co-sponsored by Alternative Cinema and Film and Media Studies - Sun 208:00 AMWomen of the Arts & Crafts Print MovementCampus Life | Case-Geyer Library
Combining political and artistic values, proponents of the Arts & Crafts movement used decorative arts to imbue art and beauty into the home. In addition to wallpaper, furniture, ceramics, and textiles, Arts & Crafts workshops produced carefully designed printed works that disseminated the movement’s ideals. The long history of women performing domestic craftwork meant that women were uniquely qualified to serve as contributors in Arts & Crafts workshops. This exhibit explores the origins of Arts & Crafts printing while seeking to highlight the contributions women made to the movement.Exhibition begins on the 3rd floor of Case-Geyer Library with an exploration of the originators of the Arts & Crafts movement in England and the spread of the movements' ideals. It continues on the 2nd floor of the library with descriptions of the design of handcrafted books, followed by an examination of two New York State Arts & Crafts printing presses. - Sun 2011:30 AMEntangled Intimacies: Tradition, Motion and MemoryCampus Life | Alumni Hall, 2nd floor

Works from the Caribbean, West Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands feature shared themes of trans-oceanic communication, diasporas, transnationalism, colonialism, and resistance. This exhibition aims to provide space for multiple perspectives through public label submissions (ask a staff member!). Keep coming back, as new labels will be added throughout the semester.This exhibition is curated by Summer Frazier and Rebecca Mendelsohn. - Sun 2012:00 PMWar, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937-1948Campus Life | Picker Art Gallery, Dana Arts Center, 2nd floor
War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - Sun 201:00 PMAllan Hacklin - Then to Now: 30 Years of RoamingCampus Life | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
