All skill levels welcome - May 3110:00 AMCore / Collections: Let’s Talk About ItToday's Events | Dana Arts Center, Picker Art Gallery
This exhibition wants visitors to have conversations with works of art. It encourages asking questions, getting to know an artwork deeply, bringing others into the conversation, and perhaps learning a little more about oneself. Featuring a selection of recent acquisitions that highlight Picker Art Gallery’s current collecting strategy, the exhibition models itself on Colgate’s revised Core curriculum by creating a space for open-ended inquiry, multiple ways of knowing, and generative dialogue. The artworks on display present diverse creative perspectives on historical and contemporary issues, ranging from resistance to state authority to the challenges of modernity to addressing environmental crises. What will you add to the conversation? Curated by Emma Barrison ’24, Cindy Chen ’24 and Wendy Wu ’25. - May 3110:00 AMPicker Art GalleryToday's Events
Open Hours - May 3110:30 AMThe Locker RoomToday's Events | Clifford Gallery, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
2023/2024 Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR present “The Locker Room.”Artist jackie sumell works at the intersection of social sculpture, abolition and healing. With the principle of abolition always in mind, sumell inhabits the physical materials and architectures of oppression and transforms these physical structures into lived spaces of radical hope.For The Locker Room, a work created especially for Colgate University, sumell worked with a team of students who go by Studio CAJAIR (an anagrammatic nod to the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-In-Residence program, which underwrites this work). Together, sumell and Studio CAJAIR spent the academic year considering the relationship between athletics and activism, ultimately recreating the architecture of a locker room to envisage how sports and locker rooms can be horizons of liberation. They ask, “What happens if the locker room becomes public, seeded with the best of its potential? Can we make the lockers themselves altars to the future[s] we wish to see?”sumell and Studio CAJAIR, along with students they invited from Art & Activism (ARTS 132A), transformed 12 lockers into altars to future worlds. They imagine everything from ecological justice, racial equity, and classless societies to happiness after retirement, as wins.The Locker Room is presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation. The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.Opening reception and gallery talk with jackie sumell and Studio CAJAIR will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27.Please note that weekend gallery hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department at 315-228-7633 during regular working hours to ensure the gallery will be open.Learn more at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/ - May 3111:00 AMWhat is the Solar System Made of? Lessons from Meteorites and Returned Samples from Near Earth AsteroidsToday's Events | Lawrence Hall, Room 20, Humanities Auditorium
Meteorites, and the asteroid parent bodies that they come from are some of the fundamental building blocks of the solar system, including the terrestrial planets. They record the earliest history of the solar system, including the first geologic processes involving water and organic carbon. In this talk, Tim Glotch '99 will review what we've learned from carbonaceous chondrite meteorites as well as samples returned by two missions to near-Earth asteroids -- the Japanese space agency's (JAXA's) Hayabusa2 mission and NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.
