When: closing June 3, 2018
The current show put up by the archivists at SAAM (at least, I'm assuming it's the archivists who are doing it, apologies if I'm crediting the wrong people!) examines the influence of place on artists. Although the "art world" seems to be centered in major cities like New York and Los Angeles and London, it's worth remembering that artists live and travel everywhere.
I noticed the photograph of the artist John Steuart Curry being run over by some Badger football players while he was trying to capture a scrimmage. On Wisconsin!
And I saw that the artist Emilio Sanchez traveled extensively, even to New Castle, Delaware, where he drew the cupola of "Old Arsenal." Having lived in and around Delaware until I left to go to college, it was nice to see a bit of home.
Verdict: Another nice display from the Archives - you could make a lunch time trip and see this, the Sylvia Plath exhibit next door and the Matthew Brady pictures across the hall.
