 | Austin Thomas
June 18 - September 12, 2004
Austin Thomas addresses concepts of personal connection and self-awareness by creating environments for social interaction in which the viewer becomes a participant. Using construction materials ubiquitous in America's home-improvement craze, Thomas builds decks, platforms, tables and chairs she calls perches, which, in her words, facilitate conversation, dialogue, storytelling, discussion, and give a new perspective. She is also installing a seating platform for viewing the exhibitions in the gallery as well as a picnic table for the Holden Sculpture Courtyard. |

 | I saw it: The Invented Reality of Goya's Disasters of War
August 13 - September 12, 2004
An exhibition curated by students in Prof. Susan Strauber's exhibition seminar presenting the 80 images from Goya's seminal set of prints Disasters of War, which chronicle his reaction to the Napoleonic wars in Spain. Goya's prints, based as much on his feelings about the atrociousness of war on all parties as on actual experience, are a timely and timeless reminder of the human capacity for violence. A catalog, written by the students, accompanies the exhibition. |

 | William Kentridge Prints
October 1 - December 12, 2004
William Kentridge Prints, curated by Kay Wilson Jenkins, curator of the collection, presents 120 of over 300 prints created by Kentridge, dating from the early 1976 Muizenberg Beach linocuts to his 2004 Learning the Flute and Learning the Flute (reverse). William Kentridge (b. 1955, Johannesburg) is one of the most significant and internationally renowned artists of our time. He has always addressed the more challenging and intimate aspects of contemporary life and of South Africa, both during Apartheid and in the post-Apartheid period. His work in every media often involves erasing, recreating, and reworking an image many times in a metaphorical search for identity in changing contexts. |
