A Poetics of Atmosphere: Lorna Simpson’s Cloudscape and Other Works from the Collection
February 3 - April 17, 2022
Artists have long been preoccupied with the sky; through depictions of the atmosphere, they elicit new understandings of corporeality and transcendence. This exhibition presents Lorna Simpson’s video Cloudscape (2004) in dialogue with selected works from the Colby Museum’s permanent collection that reference weightlessness and presence through meteorological imagery.
Act of Sight: The Tsiaras Family Photography Collection
February 10 - August 14, 2022
Over the last thirty years, Dr. William ’68 and Nancy Meyer Tsiaras ’68 have amassed one of the foremost collections of American photography in private hands. The collection includes more than 500 photographs spanning from the 1880s to the present. Act of Sight: The Tsiaras Family Photography Collection reveals the breadth and depth of this remarkable gift, which includes many rare and unpublished images by well-known photographers.
Sarah Cain: hand in hand
March 31 - December 11, 2022
Frequently composing at the scale of architecture, the artist Sarah Cain seeks out new territories for painting. With wit, irreverence, and a palette informed by California sunshine, Cain fearlessly works against the grain of a tradition- and history-bound medium to envision what a painting can be and how it can be encountered. Through her art, she manifests the value of responding to a place or a situation from a fresh perspective.
Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death
June 2 - October 16, 2022
This exhibition is the first public presentation of recently rediscovered drawings in which artist Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) imagines his own funeral. The exhibition connects the sketches now known as the Funeral Group to Wyeth’s decades-long engagement with death as an artistic subject in painting, and places his work in conversation with other artists’ self-portraiture and reflections on mortality.
