This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory exhibition created by the Undocumented Migration Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on the social process of immigration and raises awareness through research, education, and outreach.The exhibit is composed of approximately 3,400 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert from the mid-1990s to 2020. These tags are geolocated on a large wall map of the Arizona-Mexico border, showing the exact locations where human remains were found. The physical act of writing out the names and information for the dead invites participants to reflect, witness and stand in solidarity with those who have lost their lives in search of a better one. This exhibit is taking place at over 120 institutions across 6 continents with the intention to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis at America’s southern border and to engage with communities around the world in conversations about migration.The construction of HT94 is made possible by teams of volunteers from each hosting location, who participate in tag-filling workshops, where they write the details of the dead and then publicly place the tags on the map – in the exact location where each individual's remains were found. Some tags also contain QR codes that link to content related to migrant stories and visuals connected to immigration.

Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

This talk suggests that an insurgent feminist lens requires understanding that racialized gender is key to mapping borders, histories and movements, and asking the question: how and why do women, queer and gender non-conforming people matter in understanding and responding to this moment of global pandemic and protest. Chandra Talpade Mohanty will ask what an anti-racist, decolonial, anti-capitalist feminist praxis consist of at this time when colonial legacies and global inequities are no longer invisible and building solidarities and movements across borders is more urgent than ever before? What do anti-imperialist feminist scholars, activists, and cultural workers need to know, analyze, and learn about so we can forge ethical solidarities across material and virtual borders, and build the landscapes of racial and gender justice that we dream about and struggle for? What does it mean to craft insurgent knowledges through our writing, our art, our cultural productions, our activism, and our pedagogies?Chandra Talpade Mohanty is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Women’s and Gender Studies and Dean’s Professor of the Humanities at Syracuse University. She was a member of the Indigenous and Women of Color Feminist Solidarity delegation to Palestine in 2011. She is author of Insurgent Visions: Feminism, Justice, Solidarity, (Duke University Press, 2025), Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity (Duke University Press, 2003), and co-editor of Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism (Indiana University Press, 1991), Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures (Routledge, 1997), Feminism and War: Confronting U.S. Imperialism, (Zed Press, 2008), The Sage Handbook on Identities (Sage Publications, 2010), and Feminist Freedom Warriors (Haymarket Books, 2018).

In 1978, the Colgate Administration abandoned a longstanding plan to bulldoze Hascall Hall in the face of a faculty/student/community campaign to "Save Old Bio." The succeeding quarter-century at Colgate witnessed the construction of numerous campus gems, such as Frank Dining Hall, Persson Hall, and Little Hall. It was an era in which we renegotiated our architectural relationship to our past and to the challenges and opportunities afforded by our singular physical setting. In many ways, it planted the seeds for the successful ongoing development of our campus to the present day.Presented by Robert McVaugh, Emeritus Professor in the Department of ArtRefreshments provided.

Join exhibiting artists Jeffrey Stuker and Patricia Treib in conversation around the themes in the current Clifford Gallery exhibition HOLES.Jeffrey Stuker’s intricately rendered films and still imagery examine the relationship between synthetic and organic, engaging and considering mimicry as a metaphor for how organisms relate to their environments. He produces extremely accurate computer-generated imagery that he imbues with historical, scientific or industrial references to create touchpoints between the subjects the works depict and the technology used to create them.Stuker lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Ben Hunter, London and Ehrlich Steinberg, Los Angeles. Recent exhibitions include Full Haus: The Seeld Library (storefront: MoCA, Los Angeles, 2018); Made in LA: A version (Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2020); The International Biennial of Contemporary Photography (MOMuS, Thessaloniki Greece, 2021); Objects of Desire (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 2022); Next Year in Monte Carlo (Ben Hunter, London, 2023); Feelings out of Season (The Fulcrum Press, Los Angeles, 2023); Pacific Standard Time (Getty Museum, Los Angeles and the University of California, San Diego, 2024); and Mantis Te Vidit (STUDIOLI La Ripa, Rome, 2024).Patricia Treib's paintings are composed around sensuous details, absences, and shifts in perspective. Despite their broad, sweeping gestures, the paintings can be seen as attentive meditations. Gleaned from sources that hold personal significance, Treib focuses on the space between forms, making in-betweenness a primary motif. Her paintings disclose these interspaces by transforming ephemeral non-things into iconic presences, whose highly pigmented color correspondences radiate an inner luminosity. Treib limits the time of making – or performing – each painting to a single day. Partially concealed behind this decisive act are the innumerable rehearsals and revisions that lead up to the painting, both in the evolution of a motif over several years, developed through myriad works on paper, and in the removals, adjustments, and erasures that take place on the surface of the canvas itself. Ripe, suspended forms nestle among accentuated flourishes, suggesting linguistic units or punctuation, and evoke medieval illuminations and 18th century Swedish Kurbits painting.Treib lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship (2020), an Artadia Award (2017), and was shortlisted for the Jean-Francois Prat Prize (2018) and has participated in residencies at ARCH, Athens (2021); the American Academy in Rome (2017), the Dora Maar House (2014) and MacDowell (2013). Recent solo exhibitions include Sinuations, Bureau, New York (2025); Icon Arms, ARCH, Athens, Greece (2024); Enfold, Kate MacGarry, London (2024); Undulations, Galerie Nordenhake, Stockholm (2023); Oscillations, Galerie Nordenhake, Mexico City, Mexico (2022), Variations, F, Houston, TX (2021); and Sleeve Variations, Overduin & Co., Los Angeles, CA (2021). Recent group exhibitions include Thresholds, curated by Nichole Caruso, Wolford House, Los Angeles, CA (2024), Of Flesh and Air, Galería Marta Cervera, Madrid (2024); Friends in a Field: Conversations with Raoul De Keyser, Mu.ZEE, Ostend, Belgium (2022). Treib received an MFA from Columbia University and a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been written about in ArtForum, The New Yorker, Art in America, The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, and Bomb Magazine. Treib's first monograph was published in 2020 and features an essay by Joanna Fiduccia and an interview with poet and novelist Ben Lerner.

From pre-Industrial England to modern-day Washington and Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other, with plants and microbes, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Tiny Gardens Everywhere explores how urban gardeners reactivated commons in European and North American cities in the long 20th century. Using the deluge of nutrients that flow into cities, working class gardeners regenerated wasteland, built the first garden city communities, and engaged in the most productive agriculture in recorded human history. Following the plants and microbes, urban gardeners also built mutual aid societies that advocated for equity, social welfare and rights—rights not to liberty and the pursuit of happiness (who can eat that?) but to food, fuel and shelter; for well-being for all.Guest lecturer Kate Brown is a professor of science, technology and society at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Co-sponsored by History, Environmental Studies, Geography, and Sociology and Anthropology
