davis_squareHi all, if you're not familiar with the Koppleman Gallery in Aidekman Arts Center, it is one of the nearest points of the Tufts campus to Powderhouse Square -- just past the field -- so it's a stone's throw from Davis. I am one of the co-curators for this particular exhibition, so it's shameless plug time, but any of you interested in art (or in this case, history and art) should keep this gallery on your radar.
Snapshots: 15 Takes on an Exhibition is to take place at the Tufts University Koppleman Gallery May 6-18, 2014. Opening reception Tuesday, May 6, 2014, 5:30-8pm.
Museum Studies students at Tufts were given a challenge: choose an image that inspires you from the photographs in Historic New England’s exhibition, “The Camera’s Coast,” and use it as a jumping-off point for a full-blown exhibition plan. In May, the Tufts University Art Gallery will host an exhibition that will offer a peek into their minds, with mini-exhibitions showing what each of them came up with.
The student-planned exhibitions range far and wide from the source collection, which depicts late 19th and early 20th century life in coastal New England. They focus on such diverse topics as fashion and food; labor and leisure; immigration, shipwrecks, maritime voyages and social mores of the past and present. These fifteen curators from a variety of disciplines demonstrate the many paths the imagination can take when challenged to design a dream exhibition around a single photograph.
