Current Exhibition"Gendered Agency: Aliza Augustine and Ashley Watson"January 19 - March 7, 2010
Gallery Hours: M-F 9am - 4:30pm; Weekends by Appointment
Special Event: This Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series exhibit brings to the galleries two artists selected by a panel of visual arts professionals. Aliza Augustine and Ashley Watson create photographic narratives drawn from personal histories, social/political commentaries, and contradictions between what has been deemed as "good and evil." Their work provides a visual component to the Institute for Research on Women's 2009-10 interdisciplinary seminar, "Gendered Agency", that is exploring how women and men respond to conditions such as impoverishment and globalization in ways that are gendered and/or resistant.
Exhibitions and events have been organized by the Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series, a program of the Institute for Women and Art (IWA) in partnership with the Rutgers University Libraries. The IWA operates as a center of the Office of the Associate Vice President for Academic & Public Partnerships in the Arts & Humanities. Series co-sponsors include: Associate Alumnae of Douglass College, Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions, Institute for Research on Women, Office of the Dean of Douglass Residential College and Douglass Campus, The Feminist Art Project, Women and Gender Studies Department, and the Women Artists Archives National Directory. These events are made possible in part by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

"Water Writing: Anthological Exhibition 1966-2009" September 1 - December 4, 2009 2009-10 Estelle Lebowitz Visiting Artist-in-Residence Exhibition This exhibition of work by Chilean-born artist Cecilia Vicuña is the first US anthological review of her works. The artist presents new works in many media, including a large site specific installation created for the Douglass Library galleries, videos, wall drawings and works created in Chile, London, Colombia and the United States. Renowned for her "precarious" installations in nature, which address ecological issues, Vicuña bridges the space between art and poetry, integrating multiple media into her work. Her visual language speaks to the past and the future by exploring parallels between the ancient indigenous worldview of the Americas and the worldview of particle physicists which includes concepts of entanglement and the multiverse.
