Get a taste of coming attractions in the Weitz Center’s first year.

IN THE TEACHING MUSEUM:

Winter 2012
Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait: This exhibit of art by Chris Jordan represents a collaboration with the QuIRK initiative. Jordan uses digital photography to provide insight into American consumer culture through artistic representations of key "large numbers" such as the number of people who die from smoking cigarettes every 6 months or the number of plastic cups consumed on US airline flights every six hours.

A Complex Weave: Women and the Identity in Contemporary Art: A Complex Weave reveals the ongoing vitality of the Feminist artist movement with works by contemporary women artists of varied backgrounds exploring aspects of identity through painting, drawing, needlework, photography and other media. This exhibit is a collaboration with the Womens' and Gender Studies Program.

IN THE THEATER:

Spring 2012
Greek Tragedy: The spring theater production will be a new adaptation of Aeschylus's Oresteia by Rob Hardy, directed by Ruth Weiner, Class of 1944 Professor of Theater and the Liberal Arts. Collaborating on this production are Judith Howard, Assistant Professor of Dance, and Clara Hardy, Professor of Classics. Students will also have the opportunity to register for Spring Term courses that draw on Oresteia and related material.
