A conversation with art collector Juan Rodriguez and gallery owner Garbo Hearne will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5. The exhibit activates a narrative between art created in the 19th century by notable artists Robert Scott Duncanson, Edward Mitchell Bannister, Charles Ethan Porter, and Henry Ossawa Tanner with art created by modern and contemporary artists. The exhibition examines how artists influence each other directly and indirectly. During the 2019 spring semester, Dr. Lynne Larsen, assistant professor of art history, will teach an art history seminar course on African-American art focusing on the works in the exhibit. The exhibition was curated by 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art Gallery Director Brad Cushman.

New exhibit to display silkscreens from now-closed Alternative Museum]]> A new exhibit at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock will feature 10 silkscreens that were donated to the closed Alternative Museum in New York City to protest cuts in public funding.聽 The exhibit, 鈥淎rtist as a Catalyst,鈥� will be on display in Gallery III on the second floor of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Fine Arts Building from Oct. 10 to Nov. 10. In response to serious cuts in public funding in 1992, 10 artists contributed silkscreens to benefit the Alternative Museum in New York City, which opened in 1975 and closed its doors in 2000. The nonprofit museum鈥檚 primary functions were to provide a professional showcase for artists, leadership with an “artist” perspective, and an atmosphere where ideas could be presented and challenged. Commercial interests did not govern the museum鈥檚 choice of artistic presentation. The artists represented in this exhibit address social and humanitarian issues in their imagery, which still resonate in today鈥檚 cultural landscape. The exhibit features work from Ida Applebroog, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Leon Golub, Luis Jimenez, Jerry Kearns, Komar and Melamid, Adrian Piper, Ben Sakoguchi, Andres Serrano, Lorna Simpson, and Robert Storr. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed university holidays. For more information, contact Gallery Director Brad Cushman at 501-916-5103 or becushman@ualr.edu.
