SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Tang Museum remains closed to the public through the spring semester to ensure the health and safety and the Skidmore community, however, all current exhibitions are accessible online. Two exhibitions specifically - Pandemic and Protest, and We’ve Only Just Begun - are available online only.
All exhibitions can also be accessed through Tang website at tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions. They are:
• Energy in All Directions: An exhibition that brings rarely seen works and new acquisitions from the Tang Teaching Museum collection in dialogue with objects from the Shaker Museum’s extensive holdings to celebrate the life and legacy of artist and gallerist Hudson (1950—2014). The exhibition is an invitation to explore what a community is — and can be — in this time of COVID-19, social distancing, and health and safety precautions. Through June 13. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/276-energy-in-all-directions
• Hyde Cabinet #10: Framing a Feeling: This student-curated exhibition explores the painted glass frames by Checkna Touré used by the acclaimed Malian photographer Malick Sidibé. Through February 28. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/289-hyde-cabinet-10-framing-a-feeling
• Never Done: 100 Years of Women in Politics and Beyond: The exhibition takes the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment as the occasion for reflection and exploration of the issues and challenges women in the United States have faced, and continue to face, in politics and society. Never Done aims to go beyond politics to create conversations about art, gender, race, and intersectional identities. To do so, this exhibition presents artwork by a diverse group of women: Black, brown, Indigenous, LGBTQ, and differently-abled women and non-binary artists; artists working in photography, painting, printmaking, collage, textile, and sculpture; artists from across the United States and from different generations. Moreover, statements from each artist reflect on their work in relation to women’s rights, feminisms, justice and representation, and the legacy of the suffrage movement. Taken together, this project reveals the myriad of different experiences women have and the multiplicity of views and modes of expression that women employ to communicate what is important to them. Through June 6. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/272-never-done-100-years-of-women-in-politics-and-beyond
• Nicole Cherubini: Shaking the Trees: Artist Nicole Cherubini’s long-term installation serves as a platform where Cherubini invites other artists to engage with her work, including Susan Jennings, who with Silver the Void performs her sound sculptures, and Sarah Braman, and more. Through September 11. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/271-nicole-cherubini-shaking-the-trees
• Pandemic and Protest: The online exhibition features three artist projects made during the spring and summer of 2020—an unprecedented time that witnessed an expanding worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and protests across the country calling for racial justice sparked by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The projects are by artists Isaac Scott, Danielle St. Laurent, and Nicole Cherubini and MASKS4PEOPLE. The work has been recently acquired by the Museum. The exhibition includes oral histories with the artists and new writing by Skidmore faculty, staff, and students. Through June 6. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/322-pandemic-and-protest
• We’ve Only Just Begun: 100 Years of Skidmore Women in Politics: In the 100 years since America’s women earned the right to vote, Skidmore women have been engaged in political movements from suffrage through the social transformations of today. This exhibition explores that history through work from Skidmore’s Special Collections. Through June 6. tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/284-we-ve-only-just-begun-100-years-of-skidmore-women-in-politics
