Shelter is vital.  It’s required for us to survive but also to thrive.  Curated by students enrolled in ARTH 335: Exhibition Design, Shelter interrogates the spaces in which we live, play, work, and worship, the objects found in such spaces, and the concept of “shelter”, broadly defined.

We have boxes of brightly colored pencils, marking pens, hex codes, and seasonal fashions.  All of these give us access to color. But could it be that we are not seeing the whole picture in the color choices that are offered to us? The way many of us identify individual colors actually closes us off from the protean nature of color and from our abilities to interact with our color vision.  Color is not a thing; it is a relationship between. In this talk, artist Rosy Lamb shares her research into color as a responsive language we all can learn to speak by listening, and by attending to what our eyes see all around us.  Her reserach includes a prototype of a digital tool she is developing, which allows users to intuitively build relational colors using a similar methodology to pigment mixing.

Artist Eileen de Rosas (MassArt MFA ’22) presents an artist talk discussing her recent Public Art at Wheaton (PAAW) project Into the Woods, sited in the Beard Courtyard of the Mars Science Center. De Rosas will also share work from her artistic practice more broadly.

Beard and Weil Galleries have partnered with the National Black Doll Museum of History and Culture to present What Only You Can Make: The Art of the African Wrap Doll.
