- Mon 810:30 AMClifford Gallery Exhibition: HOLESThe Arts | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
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.

Join the founders of the Tempestry Project for a brown bag presentation to discuss their project sharing climate data through weaving and crocheting and developing a venture to enable others to create their own “tempestries." What began as a joke about preserving ephemeral online data using ancient traditions turned into The Tempestry Project, a collaborative initiative that blends fiber art, data representation, and environmental activism. In this talk, Asy and Emily will share how an idea with humble beginnings grew into a nationally recognized project with numerous exhibitions in museums, schools, and public spaces. In addition to highlighting how art can connect us to information, and to each other, this event will also kick off development of the Colgate Tempestry Collection which will be displayed in the Longyear Museum of Anthropology in Spring 2026 (see below).Hot wraps from Hamilton Whole Foods will be provided and will include vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options. Please bring your own reusable water bottle.Looking Ahead - Spring 2026 The Longyear Museum of Anthropology will feature Tempestry: The Art of Climate Data, opening after spring break.
