Exhibition: Sheron Rupp: Dialogue with a Collection

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 5, 5-7:30 pm.
In Conversation: Artist Sheron Rupp discusses her exhibition with art critic Gloria Russell. Wednesday, February 25, 5 pm.
The University Gallery is pleased to present Sheron Rupp: Dialogue with a Collection, the second exhibition in an annual series in which we invite an artist to study the permanent collection first-hand, curate an exhibition from our holdings, and integrate their own works in direct dialogue within the exhibition. Sheron Rupp's idiosyncratic selection, ranging from photographs by Jan Groover and Ralph Eugene Meatyard to prints and drawings by Judy Pfaff and Theodore Stamos, provides unexpected juxtapositions and conversations between her own works with those in the permanent collection. The exhibition also affords the opportunity to premiere Sheron Rupp's recent color photographs of formal and social landscapes.
Gallery hours: Tuesday-Friday 11 am-4:30 pm; Saturday & Sunday 2-5 pm. Wheelchair accessible. Free parking evenings and weekends.

“Thin” and “Girl Culture”
“Thin” is a documentary project by noted contemporary photographer Lauren Greenfield on the subject of eating disorders. Greenfield followed and photographed a group of women in treatment at the Renfrew Center in Florida, producing color photographs and a documentary film about the women and their experiences. “Thin” grew out of an earlier body of work, “Girl Culture,” which focused on the image-obsession of women of all ages in the United States. Selections from “Girl Culture” will be displayed in an adjacent gallery to provide a context for “Thin” and expand the themes of the show. “Thin” was curated by the artist Trudy Wilner Stack and was organized by the Women’s Museum: An Institute for the Future, Dallas, Texas, and Greenfield/Evers, LLC. Ends April 26.
The Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA) is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $3 for students and $2 for youth ages 6 to 12.
