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 RoamingThe Arts | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)

One of America's greatest painters, Winslow Homer developed from an illustrator to an artist during the Civil War years. In the process, he provided a compelling visual record that brought the War and its many transformations home to audiences then and now. These illustrated lectures will explore that record in detail.Presenter: Carl Guarneri is Professor of History Emeritus at Saint Mary's College of California, where he taught for more than 40 years. He is now a Hamilton resident and an Affiliated Scholar in History at Colgate. He is the author or editor of several books on utopian communities, the Civil War, and American history in a global perspective. - Wed 164:30 PMArt Department Lecture: KinographThe Arts | Little Hall, 105 (Golden Auditorium)
A trove of rusting film canisters from the former Soviet Union sits in a room in Amman, Jordan, once part of an international film exchange program to build cultural and political kinship across the socialist global south. Institutions have come and gone over the years — individual researchers, too — but funding is elusive and resources sparse. After 15 years, the work to bring these orphaned films to light has persevered through the work of a small group of academics, artists, and designers who have created an organic, leaderless network, rooted in the belief that sharing resources is the best way to achieve our goals, however different they may be. Our projects range from academic publications, to contemporary art works, to Kinograph, an open-source, portable film scanner that researchers can use in the field to digitize 35 and 16mm film reels instantly onsite. Join Brynn Hatton (art historian, Colgate University), Matthew Epler (independent designer and technologist), Kay Dickinson (film historian, University of Glasgow), Masha Salazkina (film historian and theorist, Concordia University) in conversation with Ala Younis (independent artist and curator, via Zoom) for an interdisciplinary dialogue that thrives in the practical intersections of our difference and distance, modeling a type of transnational collaboration that pays homage to the history and ethos of its shared object of fascination.Sponsored by the Kindler Family Chair in Global Contemporary Art Image: Ala Younis, The Ex-Soviet Archives Project, 2018, detail - Thu 17All dayWatch PartyThe Arts | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio

Followed by discussion with artist Karel Doing in personA film program by Karel Doing to promote his book Ruins and Resilience: The Longevity of Experimental Film. Doing weaves autobiographical elements and critical reviews together with his wide-ranging interdisciplinary approach, reflecting on his own practice by positioning key works within the context of a vibrant experimental film scene in Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Doing demonstrates how experimental filmmakers have continued to renew their practice despite the almost total demise of analogue motion picture film and the constant neglect of this art form by institutions and critics.Co-sponsored by Film and Media Studies - Fri 18All dayWatch PartyThe Arts | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio

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 189:30 AMEntangled Intimacies: Tradition, Motion and MemoryThe Arts | Alumni Hall, 2nd floor

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 MemoryThe Arts | Alumni Hall, 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 RoamingThe Arts | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
