Special programming: Let's Talk Collections: What's Up with the McIntosh Gallery Collection?
May 3rd, from 12p.m. - 1 p.m.
Join Rachel Deiterding, Curator of Collections & Special Projects and Museum and Curatorial Studies alumna, for a look inside ongoing work to review the McIntosh Gallery collection and the many questions and challenges that accompany this project. This special event will begin with a tour of the current exhibition Holding Patterns: the short view – Recent Acquisitions from the McIntosh Gallery Collection, before transitioning to a public forum, opening the floor to talk about collecting and its future together.
Holding Patterns: the short view marks the beginning of a comprehensive inquiry into the McIntosh Gallery collection to makes sense of how more than 4,000 artworks have come together to create this valuable resource. Considering a selection of artworks collected since 2020, the short view looks to the recent past to explore some of the conversations that have been entangled with the collection over the past several years and poses critical questions about what it means to collect.
Let’s Talk Collections is a public conversation series that makes visible behind the scenes work with the collection.
This talk is part of "Connecting Through Collections," a project generously supported by Catherine Elliot Shaw.
