Join us for exciting upcoming programs this month at TUAG! On March 10 at SMFA at Tufts / Boston TUAG’s Student Programming Committee and Lauren O’Connor Korb, Professor of the Practice in Sculpture, will host a Digital Fabrication Workshop where you will learn to make your own fake using resurfacing techniques on 3D printed scans of collection objects. Next, join us for a two-day panel event on March 30 and 31, The Metabolic Museum: New Pathways for Collecting presented as an extension of the current exhibition re:imagining collections. The event borrows its title from our keynote speaker Clémentine Deliss’s 2020 publication, The Metabolic Museum, in which Deliss argues for the living and changing nature of collections and new, radical engagements and interventions by artists into ethnographic collections. The keynote event will take place on March 30 at 6pm. And on March 31 beginning at 9am we will hear from panelists: Nicole Cherubini, Kelli Morgan, Victoria Reed, Kajette Solomon, moderated by Dina Deitsch, TUAG director and co-curator of re:imagining collections. |

| The Galleries provide a space for faculty to extend their classrooms by connecting curricula to the cycling exhibitions and objects in the Permanent Collection. Sessions in the gallery are tailored to meet individual learning objectives and can be designed to promote close-looking, develop object-based research skills, offer interdisciplinary, historical or cultural context, and/or start a conversation on contemporary politics or social climate. Additionally, with advance notice, objects from the Permanent Collection can be pulled from storage for class visits or research purposes. For more detailed information about the benefits of experiential learning in the galleries or to see some examples of past collaborations for inspiration, please contact Liz Canter, elizabeth.canter@tufts.edu. |

| re:imagining collections at the Medford + Boston galleries |
| On View Now |
|
| re:imagining collections, is a group exhibition at the Aidekman / Medford and SMFA at Tufts / Boston galleries that reconsiders the university’s antiquities collection through the work of contemporary artists Ali Cherri, Nicole Cherubini, NIC Kay, and SANGREE. Each artist was invited to reconsider and readdress the collection of relatively understudied antiquities from the Americas and the Mediterranean to pose new questions about the histories and narratives that extend beyond the objects into the very formation of the collection. |
