Art After Dark

Docents discuss works in the galleries.

Pick up your tour wristband at the Reception Desk one hour before the tour.

Join Interdisciplinary artist Autumn Kioti for some cut-up fun. Pulling inspiration from both the patchwork-like works of Sara VanDerBeek, and the richly textured collages of Romare Bearden, both seen in the current exhibition Cut Up/Cut Out: Photomontage and Collage. We will use discarded magazines, books and photographs to create our own unique works of art. 

Classroom #2

By cutting out, reshuffling, and layering multiple photographs, artists create composite artworks with diverse interpretative possibilities. Lauren Richman, Ph.D., William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography, discusses Cut Up/Cut Out: Photomontage and Collage, an exhibition that explores these photographic techniques, highlighting several new acquisitions, special loans, and contemporary examples from the Norton’s Collection, including works by Romare Bearden, Martha Rosler, Barbara Kruger, and more.
