Grand Patriots | “Harvey Dunn & the Art of Combat”
<p>In early 1918, eight artists—one of whom was South Dakota’s own Harvey Dunn—were selected as the U.S. government’s first official combat artists. These eight men were tasked with depicting scenes from the front lines in France. Their images were to serve as historical records and as propaganda, but the story of what happened to their artwork proves more complex, ultimately revealing how the government believed that art could be a powerful weapon during the Great War.</p><p>South Dakota native Ranelle Knight-Lueth, an Assistant Professor of Art History and the Director of Galleries and Collections at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will present Harvey Dunn and the World War I Combat Artists. </p> 2020-01-22 17:00:00 -06001/27/204:00 p.m.Grand Living at Indian CreekCedar Rapids -
Exhibit Opening Celebration: The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities
<p>Join curators Dr. Kim Marra and Mark Anderson to celebrate the opening of <em>The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities </em>at the University of Iowa Libraries Main Library Gallery!</p><p>Gather at 5:00pm for snacks in the lobby outside the Main Library Gallery, then hear remarks from the curators before a ribbon cutting at 5:30pm. The exhibition will be open for viewing from 5:45 - 7:00pm, during which the curators will be available for questions.</p><p>Admission to the Main Library Gallery is always free.</p><p><u>About the exhibition:</u> On display from January 23 - March 29, 2020. Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening on a loop the original documentary film <em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. </p><p>Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p><em>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please visit the Main Library Gallery contact page for contact information.</em></p> 2020-01-08 19:00:00 -0600

Thursday Forum - Slavery and the Civil War in American History and Memory
<p>Controversy is once again swirling in the US over issues and events with deep connections to slavery and the Civil War. Communities are hotly debating removal of Confederate flags and monuments; politicians and pundits routinely reference Civil War causes and leaders; and popular music, movies, and museums grapple with how to tell the stories of slavery and the Civil War. Over the course of this forum, Whipple Associate Professor of History Brie Swenson Arnold will explore the United States’ complicated history and memory of slavery and the Civil War. The series begins with an overview of the origins, expansion, and lived experiences of American racial slavery. It continues with a session on the origins and course of the Civil War, a conflict centered on slavery. Weeks three and four turn to examining how Americans have variously portrayed slavery and the Civil War in national memory and popular culture—including in holidays like Memorial Day and Emancipation Day, Civil War sites and monuments, and films like The Birth of a Nation (1915), Gone with the Wind (1939), Roots (1977), Glory (1989), Lincoln (2012), Twelve Years a Slave (2013), and Free State of Jones (2016). Throughout, the series will shed light on broader issues in US politics, culture, and society—particularly Americans’ efforts to come to terms with their nation’s complicated history of race and racism.</p> 2019-10-03 11:30:00 -0500

Mary Zeran: 10 Years
<p>In 2020, local artist Mary Zeran will have been working as a profession artist for 10 years. Given the CRMA’s rich history of presenting the art of local artists—especially when they’ve achieved a certain milestone or completed a specific new body of work—the idea of displaying a 10-year retrospective of Zeran’s work during the CRMA’s 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary year seems fitting. One of the very few local artists to have spent her entire painting career working in abstraction, Zeran’s work will challenge viewers to see her subtle but significant evolution over the course of the past 10 years. Constantly exploring, Zeran has crafted different methods of mark-making to accompany her evolution in palette and scale. The exhibition will not only trace the trajectory of her career, it will also include a site-specific installation created especially for this exhibition.</p><p><br></p> 2019-08-26 16:00:00 -0500

Mary Zeran: 10 Years
<p>In 2020, local artist Mary Zeran will have been working as a profession artist for 10 years. Given the CRMA’s rich history of presenting the art of local artists—especially when they’ve achieved a certain milestone or completed a specific new body of work—the idea of displaying a 10-year retrospective of Zeran’s work during the CRMA’s 125<sup>th</sup> anniversary year seems fitting. One of the very few local artists to have spent her entire painting career working in abstraction, Zeran’s work will challenge viewers to see her subtle but significant evolution over the course of the past 10 years. Constantly exploring, Zeran has crafted different methods of mark-making to accompany her evolution in palette and scale. The exhibition will not only trace the trajectory of her career, it will also include a site-specific installation created especially for this exhibition.</p><p><br></p> 2020-05-24 16:00:00 -0500
