on the
DAC
Collection

Charles Sheeler, MacDougal Alley, oil on canvas, 1924

Tuesday 30 March - Sunday 23 May 2004

Curated by students in Wesleyan's Fall 2003 Museum Studies course, this exhibition explored a variety of themes using works from the Davison Art Center collection. On view were prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings by such as artists as Berenice Abbott, Eugène Atget, Marcel Duchamp, Yvonne Jacquette, Käthe Kollwitz, and Charles Sheeler.

The students' task was to study works in the collection that were suitable not only for an exhibition but also for their independent research projects. They selected drawings, prints, photographs, and one painting for the show based on the group's overall familiarity with the DAC collection and on each student's specialized research topic.

Curated by Mara Baldwin '06, Jesse Feiman '05, Rebekah Krieger '04, Jasmine Labeau '04, Jonathan Lashley '04, Erin Reding '06, Shannon Riffe '04, and Erin Smith '06.

A gallery talk by student curators took place at noon on Wednesday 7 April 2004.

Staging War:

From etchings by Goya to Civil War photographs and German woodcuts, fascination with war has long inspired art. This exhibition of diverse photographs and prints from the DAC collection transcended stylistic and historical limitations by juxtaposing war imagery across time. Curated by John Blakinger, Wesleyan class of 2006.
