February 14, 2012 - April 29, 2012

LOWER JETTÉ GALLERIES

Curated by William D. Adams, President, Colby College

*Rediscoveries 2 will close temporarily from April 30 through May 21 for the Senior Art Exhibition. It will reopen from May 22 through June 24.

The exhibition series Rediscoveries invites members from the Colby College community to select and arrange artwork from the permanent collection. In the second installment, President William D. Adams offers a meditation on the blighted urban landscape. Focusing on spaces associated with labor, the exhibition takes as its centerpiece a group of newly acquired photographs by Andrew Moore. Through these and other works depicting factories, gas stations, landfills, deserted alleys and houses, and classrooms, viewers discover the powerful and unexpected beauty that often resides in such places.
