Gallery Exhibition Schedule

Inspired by artist Laurie Beth Clark’s research at the repository of bones that have accrued in countries like Cambodia and Rwanda where mass violence has occurred, this exhibition brings together a cohesive installation work comprised of individual works made from or themed around bones. Artworks explore bones visually, thematically and metaphorically. The works in this exhibition are not about the traumas experienced, but rather a celebration of the resilience and the many ways that artists create counter images that are hopeful or poignant rejoinders.

MIAD hosts two documentary exhibitions “Mrs. Lincoln, What Did You Think of the Play?” curated by Danny Volk and “New Deal Utopias” by Jason Reblando.

“Mrs. Lincoln, What Did You Think of the Play?” uses a collection of antique typewriters, video reenactments, live special effects, archival documents, recorded interviews, eyewitness video, photographs and other objects to introduce you to Clem Schultz and his tragic experience living through a 2015 tornado in Fairdale, Ill. Shultz recorded cellphone video during the tornado. The tornado destroyed Schultz’s home and his antique typewriter collection, and killed his wife. The exhibition invites the viewers’ reflection about how truth is documented and represented, and the accuracy of our understanding of another person’s experience.

“New Deal Utopias” features photographs by Jason Roblano that explore the three “Greenbelt Towns” of Greendale, Wis., Greenbelt, Md., and Greenhills, Ohio. Greenbelt Towns were planned communities built by the US government during the Great Depression, designed to be model cities to address the social and economic discrepancies brought on and accentuated by the Depression. The photographs depict the towns’ built environments and landscapes, evoking utopia both as an idea and a place in the American mind. These photographs emphasize that Greenbelt Towns are an overlooked, but crucial part of the American landscape, as we continue to grapple with shifting roles of housing, nature and government in American life.

On view: January 27 - March 14
