Discoveries at the Doris – April 2024
April 26 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Discover beloved artworks from the Berea College Art Collection at the Doris Ulmann Galleries through a guided conversation led by Ainsley Golden, BereaCorps Art Collection and Gallery Associate, focusing on one or a few artworks from the permanent collection. For April, the talk will center on Alexander Calder’s Sun, a tapestry made in 1974. Calder was a leading figure in the modernist art movement of the early and mid-twentieth century known for his kinetic sculptures and emphasis on simplified forms and design. The tapestry in our collection is a rare example of how Calder explored those ideas in fiber art and textiles.
“Discoveries” tours begin at 11:00 in the Dimitrie Berea Gallery on the second floor of the Rogers-Traylor Art Building on select Fridays during the academic year. These free, monthly events are open to all – students, campus community, and visitors! Participants are encouraged, but not required, to register in advance at https://bctrace.com/explore/.
For additional information, or to schedule a group visit on days other than Fridays, please contact Ainsley Golden at goldena3@berea.edu or 859-985-3849.
