The Penetrating GazePresented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum February 23-June 16, 2013 If looks can kill, then the images in this exhibition need to come with a warning. As windows to the soul, the eyes tell it all. Fitting then that the artworks in this exhibition, many of which are self-portraits, show figures with intense expressions. Their penetrating gazes trigger an exchange or mental interaction between the viewer and subject. All this intensity, however, does not necessarily signal mental imbalance, but rather reflects the potency of the sitters’ emotions. Gaze... | Weatherspoon Art Museum | 02/23/13- 06/16/13 | Greensboro |

Arlene Shechet: That TimePresented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum June 15-September 15, 2013 This exhibition of sculptures by Arlene Shechet offers an up-to-the-minute look at her iconoclastic approach to ceramics. Shechet favors improvisational methods and a trial-and-error process over methodical and technical facility.

Shechet’s latest works combine a cartoonish demeanor with painterly effects. She constantly... | Weatherspoon Art Museum | 06/15/13- 09/15/13 | Greensboro |
