JAMES HEARST IN PROSE 07 NOV–29 DEC Public discussion with UNI curatorial students: Thursday, November 7 at 4:00 p.m. Opening reception: Thursday, November 7 from 5:00–6:30 p.m.Though James Hearst was known primarily as a poet, during his long literary career he also wrote essays, journalism, fiction and a memoir. This exhibition explores many lesser-known facets of James Hearst’s writing and offers an introduction to the work of one of Cedar Falls’ literary greats. This exhibition was prepared in conjunction with graduate English students in the UNI Department of Languages & Literatures, under the advisement of Professor Jim O’Loughlin.

FROM ADVERTISING TO ART: 19TH CENTURY TRADE CARDS AND THE UNFETTERED AMERICAN IMAGINATION 19 NOV–05 JAN Opening reception: Friday, November 22 from 5:00–6:30 p.m. Gallery talk with Dr. Lenore Metrick-Chen: Friday, November 22 at 6:00 p.m.The 270 original American advertising cards in this exhibition explore 19th century social and visual culture. The cards reflect a time of cultural change and cultural anxiety as America shifted from an agrarian to an industrial economy and into an emerging world power. In the course of advertising all sorts of new commodities, card artists created wildly inventive new visual languages of montage and proto-surrealism in which human forms merged with animals, vegetables, machines and fruit. The result could be demonizing and dehumanizing or it could convey a carnivalesque sense of magic, shifting visual culture from the Victorian moralizing realistic style towards Modernism. From Advertising to Art was originally curated by Dr. Lenore Metrick-Chen, an art and cultural historian, for display at Drake University. Metrick-Chen’s ongoing study of the impact of Chinese in Western art recently culminated in her publication, Collecting Objects/Excluding People: Chinese Subjects and American Visual Culture, 1830–1900.

PROPOSITION; PRESSURE; PROOF THE PRINTS OF WILLIAM KENTRIDGE AND PHILLIP CHEN24 JAN–15 MAR 2020 Opening reception: Friday, January 24 from 5:00–6:30 p.m. Gallery talk with artists Phillip Chen and Randy Hemminghaus: Thursday, March 5 at 6:00 p.m.This exhibition brings together the work of internationally-recognized printmakers William Kentridge and Phillip Chen. Kentridge (b. 1955) was raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, sensitized by the region’s violent history of colonial power; Chen (b. 1953) lived in Chicago for much of his adult life, raised in a household challenged by anti-Chinese legislation of the late 19th and early 20th century, facing the legacy of exclusion, foreclosures, and the denial of citizenship. Both artists gravitated towards printmaking early in their formative years, drawn to its crucial role in the dissemination of political critique, protest, and dissent exampled by the volition of artists such as Hogarth, Goya, Daumier, and Kollwitz. While aligned in using print as a platform for revisioning, Proposition; Pressure; Proof presents the work of Kentridge and Chen in terms of their openness to using print to test ideas, to think and to act through the creation of images, and to convey intensely personal memories and reckonings. The exhibition encourages visitors to see printmaking—or artmaking more generally—as a matter of knowing and not knowing; a testing of ideas; a piloting of a hypothesis that is proven under press pressure.

MARJORIE NUHN The Street of the Kiss, Old Mexico Watercolor, c 1960 Gift from Patricia HuxsolHuxsol remembers buying the work directly from the artist, though it took more than one attempt to convince Nuhn to part with it. Huxsol was a student at the time. Upon opening the frame of this saturated scene, we were not surprised to find a second work on the reverse. As was typical of this artist who worked on site, the need to get down on paper the view in front of her prevailed. Emily Drennan, Hearst Center Curator/Registrar

JIMMY MURRAY For the Boys, Martin Calvin Mixed Media, Undated. Permanent Collection Purchase.So I’m around twenty years old and making art (maybe) and taking poetry classes with jim (hearst). Now I’m 68 and cutting and tearing and feeling and gluing pieces of paper together making art (maybe). I assure you the history of art as well as the influence and adjustments made to react meaningfully to the past repel any useful sentiments aiding me to discover rich emotions about color . But.....”snakes in the strawberries”............why is it that such chromatic voodoo is immediately conjured up upon reading such a line. Hmmm .not sure but im glad Jim wrote such lines...the pawing and groping for connections between what is seen and what is said about art making is more attenuated with just passion because of those lines... J{immy murray /october 2019/ humeston iowa}

TRAVIS GINGERICH Our Warpaint Was White Ceramic, 2019. Permanent Collection Purchase. My particular interest is in the relationship between sometimes disparate and sometimes aligned cultural traditions via storytelling; this body of work draws from stories—both mythical and historical—that resonate between the cultures in which I was raised. In Our Warpaint Was White, I explore the more personal history of my tribe, as the last remaining Creeks living on our ancestral lands east of the Mississippi. Belonging to the faction known as “White Sticks” during the Creek War, our people adopted policies of appeasement and assimilation in an effort to survive the invasion of settlers into our territories. Our Warpaint Was White explores this concession. Travis Gingerich, 2019
