JEFF WHETSTONE LECTURE
February 22, 2017
4:00pm
Nevins Theater
This event is free and open to the public.
The Division of Drawing, Painting and Photography is pleased to present visiting artist Jeff Whetstone.
Jeff Whetstone’s photographs and films imagine rural America through lenses of anthropology and mythology. Whetstone’s Post-Pleistocene photographs illuminate the depths of wild caves in Alabama and Tennessee, where layers of human markings reveal millennia of cultural evolution. His ongoing New Wilderness project portrays a human-centric American wilderness and questions how our cultural connection to the mythology of the wild is revealed in contemporary times. Whetstone’s work interrogates the stereotypes of rural people–ignorance, poverty, and self-destruction–and explores the complicated bond between people and the landscape.
Whetstone’s work has been exhibited widely in group and solo exhibitions, including the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Karyn Lovegrove in Los Angeles and Higher Pictures and Wallspace in New York. In 2007 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship his work New Wilderness and his work has been reviewed in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, and Art News, among others. Whetstone is represented by Julie Saul in New York and is currently a Professor of Visual Arts at Princeton University.

BUOYED BY COLOR AT STEPHANIE MCMAHON’S SOLO EXHIBITION AT T+H GALLERY
Stephanie McMahon’s first solo exhibition in Boston, and the first painting show hosted by T+H Gallery this year, “Close to Me” reverberates with the saturated colors of summer, from the blazing neon of flower gardens viewed at midday to the cool shadowed tones of the woodlands after rainfall. This contrast, seen throughout the galleries, can be summed up with Earthwork, a dynamic abstraction built with sheer layers of oil paint on panel. Soft-edged shapes work in tandem with more static, geometric forms, and engagingly lush brushstrokes hover in changeable depths of field. – Shana Dumont Garr, Boston Contributor

GINA BEAVERS LECTURE
October 13, 2016
4:30pm
Holmes Auditorium
This event is free and open to the public.
The Division of Drawing, Painting and Photography is pleased to present visiting artist Gina Beavers.
In New York-based artist Gina Beavers’ tromp l’oeil paintings, Instagram culture and trends become thick, sculptural objects. Grids of how-to make-up posts are subject to deftly built up surfaces, layering paint to the point of no return. Bulging surfaces of a lobster roll turn what may have been a proud show-and-tell of a trip to Maine into what could quickly become grotesque and gluttonous – her playful choice of color and image avoid finger pointing. Beavers’ work acknowledges her own participation (and celebration?) of this image saturated world.
Gina Beavers’ work has been widely exhibited, nationally and internationally, including group shows at CANADA, Nicelle Beauchene and Zach Feuer in New York as well as Night Gallery in LA and Cooper Cole in Toronto. In 2015 Beavers was included in the ‘Greater New York’ exhibition at MoMA PS1. Her work has been reviewed in Frieze, Artforum, the LA Times and the New York Times, among others. Beavers is represented by Clifton Benevento in Los Angeles.
