Add to Calendar 2024-03-28 17:00:00 2024-03-28 17:00:00 Closing Party for 1/20 of a millennium (and then some) Join the artists of 1/20 of a millennium (and then some) to celebrate their work and the close of this exhibition with conversations, jubilation, and a light reception!  As the 50th anniversary is approaching for the Cochrane-Woods Art Center at the University of Chicago, natalie jenkins, Luke S. Kalaydjian, Betty Young Kim, Noah Lawson, Drew Parkinson, and Tongji Philip Qian, a group of artists and scholars, took an opportunity to pause to not only reflect on the past but also gaze at the future. They write: Anchoring the fleeting moment of the now, we present 50.5 works for CWAC Exhibitions as our ruminations on key aspects of our time, shared interests of the group, and individual contexts of our life. Instead of collating answers to celebrate this historical milestone, we feel more grounded if we ask questions and capture episodes of inquiry through our visual responses. Why do our perceptions of the past live in flux? What will be the now? How can we invest in the future history of our art?  1/20 of a millennium (and then some) is an exhibition collaboration among the Department of Visual Art, the Department of Art History, and the Visual Resources Center. The exhibition is open Monday–Friday 8:30am–5pm and by appointment through March 29, 2024. Key organizers include but are not limited to: Théodora Dillman, Natalia Granquist, Owen Hoffer, natalie jenkins, Luke S. Kalaydjian, Betty Young Kim, Noah Lawson, Bridget Madden, Christine Mehring, Drew Parkinson, Tongji Philip Qian, and Allie Scholten. Please note: The Cochrane-Woods Art Center is committed to accessibility for all our exhibitions, services, and resources. However, the second floor of the Cochrane-Woods Art Center is accessible only by stairs. We invite you to email visualresources@uchicago.edu to discuss alternatives.
