      04/27/13- 06/02/13	2013 UNCG Masters of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition Weatherspoon Art Museum 2013 UNCG Masters of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum April 27-June 2, 2013 The 2013 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition features work by six artists in UNCG's Department of Art graduate program: Nickola Dudley (painting/drawing), Matthew Hayes (video), Harriet Hoover (sculpture/drawing), Branch Richter (painting), Amy Stibich (sculpture/drawing), and Clark Williamson (sculpture). The artists in this graduating class use a variety of media and focus on an array of issues. Their MFA exhibition demonstrates the energy and commitment of the artists, who...
      03/02/13- 06/23/13	Head to Head Weatherspoon Art Museum Head to Head Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum March 2-June 23, 2013 The human head is the nexus of thought, emotion, and expression. Four of our five senses are located there. The importance of human head—regardless of size and shape—visually links the great variety of artworks in this exhibition, which range in date from 1907 ("Tete d’enfant" by Henri Matisse) to 1995 ("Trophy Head" by John Ahearn). A number of the pieces are portraits of specific individuals and they present some interesting artistic linkages....
      02/23/13- 06/16/13	The Penetrating Gaze Weatherspoon Art Museum The Penetrating Gaze Presented 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...

      06/01/13- 08/18/13	the kids are all right: an exhibition about family and photography Weatherspoon Art Museum the kids are all right: an exhibition about family and photography Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum June 1-August 18, 2013 "the kids are all right" brings the bedrock theme of family into the 21st century — an age when love defines the family unit more than tradition, convention, the law, or even blood. This exhibition will feature photography and time-based media created in the last ten years by 38 established and emerging artists who sensitively reveal, with radical openness, the current notion of family. The exhibition demonstrates today’s reality: Family is a complicated...

      06/15/13- 09/15/13	Arlene Shechet: That Time Weatherspoon Art Museum Arlene Shechet: That Time Presented 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. At once comically awkward and elegantly poised, her paradoxical forms teeter, lean, bulge, torque, and reach in multiple directions at once, defying their own weight. Shechet’s latest works combine a cartoonish demeanor with painterly effects. She constantly...

      09/28/13- 12/08/13	2013 UNCG Art Department Faculty Biennial Weatherspoon Art Museum 2013 UNCG Art Department Faculty Biennial Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum September 28-December 8, 2013 The Weatherspoon is pleased to present the 2013 biennial exhibition of recent work by faculty members in the Department of Art at UNCG. UNCG’s art faculty is comprised of practicing artists who exhibit their work nationally and internationally. Their experience and knowledge in the field stimulate students to engage in their own aesthetic and intellectual pursuits. The exhibition features a variety of media (painting, sculpture, collage, photography, and video) and provides the...
      10/12/13- 01/05/14	Annie Lapin: Falk Visiting Artist Weatherspoon Art Museum Annie Lapin: Falk Visiting Artist Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum October 12, 2013-January 5, 2014 Los Angeles-based artist Annie Lapin draws much of her inspiration from her personal memory of historical works of art. Working from her imagination, Lapin builds up her images in layers, allowing them to develop over time. The resulting works are highly evocative impressions that capture the emotional experience of encountering some historical paintings. Her exhibition at the Weatherspoon will include recent and new works that evoke landscape and figuration yet remain open-ended and...
      01/18/14- 04/13/14	Jiha Moon: Falk Visiting Artist Weatherspoon Art Museum Jiha Moon: Falk Visiting Artist Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum January 18-April 13, 2014 In her fantastical, hybrid works, Atlanta-based and Korean-born Jiha Moon combines traditional Asian landscape-painting techniques with American Modern and Pop Art influences. Composed with flowing, gestural brushstrokes, and an array of iconic references (emoticons, Lucky Cats, lotus blossoms, scrolls), Moon’s imaginative mash-ups offer an intense experience. Her colorful compositions blur the lines between East and West to speak to the cultural pluralism of contemporary society.
      02/08/14- 05/04/14	Nancy Rubins: 15 Years of Flying High Weatherspoon Art Museum Nancy Rubins: 15 Years of Flying High Presented by Weatherspoon Art Museum at Weatherspoon Art Museum February 8-May 4, 2014 Nancy Rubins is one of the foremost sculptors working today, with an extensive list of solo and group exhibitions in this country and abroad, and a series of some of the most impressive sculptural commissions executed over the last decade. This exhibition will be the first to consider the relationships between the artist’s works on paper and sculpture. Common to both are Rubins’s adventurous confrontation with gravity, the transformation of industria l— or seemingly...
