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

Screening: Making Arrangements| Ataraxia

<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Making Arrangements: Ataraxia</em>, a video installation by Crit Streed.</p><p><br></p><p>Making Arrangements is an ever-changing configuration in glass positioned in relationship to a video projected on the wall. The woman in the video is endlessly moving two chairs in an empty room in pursuit of the perfect arrangement. The shelves of milk glass have equally been arranged to balance, flow, fill the eye and evoke an interest. “Milk glass with its curious cultural history presents an arena to reflect on our everyday actions that give us a moment of solace by putting things right in an uncontrollable world. Whether we live with few objects or collect many, we arrange. If we can find the right arrangement and create our space within the larger chaotic world, we think we can manage," says Crit. This installation is comprised of 143 pieces of milk glass framing the digital video.</p><p><br></p><p>Crit Streed was born in 1948 in Washington, Iowa, where she grew up. She received a B.A. in art from the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, and her M.A. in painting and drawing and M.F.A. in painting and lithography from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Between short-term teaching positions, she lived and worked in Nepal from 1982 to 1984, and has participated in various artist residencies nationally and abroad. She has exhibited widely and is Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Northern Iowa, where she had taught since the 1980s. Recently, she completed a residency in Cadaqués and currently lives and creates in Cedar Falls, IA.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.
