This exhibition wants visitors to have conversations with works of art. It encourages asking questions, getting to know an artwork deeply, bringing others into the conversation, and perhaps learning a little more about oneself. Featuring a selection of recent acquisitions that highlight Picker Art Gallery’s current collecting strategy, the exhibition models itself on Colgate’s revised Core curriculum by creating a space for open-ended inquiry, multiple ways of knowing, and generative dialogue. The artworks on display present diverse creative perspectives on historical and contemporary issues, ranging from resistance to state authority to the challenges of modernity to addressing environmental crises. What will you add to the conversation? Curated by Emma Barrison ’24, Cindy Chen ’24 and Wendy Wu ’25.
