Rediscoveries 4: Comedy, Seriously

December 6, 2012 - March 30, 2013

LOWER JETTÉ GALLERIES

Curated by Sarah Keller, Assistant Professor, English

The comic rarely exists without reference to something simultaneously more sedate. Diverse uses of comedy may throw into relief difficult ideas expressed through art: it can fixate on the grotesque, moderate the tragic, or playfully bathe somber themes in bathos. Rediscoveries 4 takes up Colby College's 2012-13 humanities theme, "Comedy, Seriously," to survey artworks that engage comedy and seriousness at once, exploring the nature of the ideas conveyed through their productive relationship.

The Rediscoveries exhibition series invites members from the Colby College community to select and arrange artwork from the permanent collection.

Process & Place: Exploring the Design Evolution of the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion

November 8, 2011 - March 30, 2013

LOWER JETTÉ GALLERIES

Currently under construction, the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion will open in the summer of 2013, marking the capstone event of Colby College’s bicentennial celebration. When complete, the new 26,000-square-foot addition will accommodate the Colby Museum’s growing collection as well as its administrative offices, education and outreach programs, and art studios for foundation and photography courses. The Pavilion will also function as the Museum’s primary entrance.
 
Presentations of new building projects typically feature finished designs in the form of plans and models. This exhibition, prepared by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects, takes a different approach, exploring the contextual, collaborative, and place-envisioning process by which the Los Angeles-based firm arrived at the Pavilion’s design.
