Paper cut designs have a long and venerable history concomitant with the development of paper in China, with the earliest extant examples dating to the seventh century. Auspicious and decorative, they often are associated with festivals and celebrations and are given as gifts or purchased to be affixed to doors, walls, lamps, or any surface that would be improved by decoration. This installation features the paper cut work of Qiao Xiaoguang, a professor and deputy dean of the Cultural Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China, and director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Center.

Exhibit runs until May 27

Two recently acquired color photographs by contemporary performance artists/photographers Lilly McElroy and the artistic team of Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger explore the complications of modern human relationships: one, by playing with gender role-reversal, casual bar-scene encounters, and the use of social media in “hook ups”; and the other, by revealing the unbreakable bond—both in life and in death—of a committed gay couple.

Exhibit runs until June 3

Fine’s exploration of abstraction is traced through a selection of paintings, prints, drawings, and wood assemblages dating from the 1930s to the 1970s. A selection of photographs by Fine’s husband, the photographer Maurice Berezov, depict Fine and her artist friends, and will be on view in the Judi and Milt Stewart Hexagon Gallery.

Raymond and Laura Wielgus Gallery of the Arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas, Focalpoint, third floor Locally produced cotton and indigo dyes continue to play prominent roles in West African myths, beliefs, and ritual practices, in spite of the availability of inexpensive fabric woven and printed in factories.
