Out of Isolation
August 30 - December 10, 2021
Co-curated by Director and Curator Maggie Leininger and Klauser Fellow, Austin Canales, this exhibition brings together a collection of artists whose work evokes the sensibility of isolation, meditation, and reflection which are many terms that we have gotten accustomed to during the pandemic. -
Messages of Hope
May 21 - September 30, 2021
Messages of Hope is a community participatory project coordinated by the Museum Studies students at DePauw University. The project’s founder, artist Frank Maugeri, developed the project in 2020 in order to facilitate the expression of hundreds of participants seeking to convey a sense of hope during a time of uncertainty. Maugeri partnered with DePauw University’s Museum Studies students to bring the project to Greencastle, Indiana where over 60 participants created a shadow box expressing a unique message of hope using a variety of materials and objects at hand. The public can view the boxes at DePauw Nature Park as they walk along the Rail and Creekside trail. #cabocuriosity #DePauwArt #TheGalleriesAtPeeler on Instagram. -
PARADOXICAL UNDRESSING (a liquidation sale and art show)
March 8 - April 9, 2021
In an exercise of salutary art, Professor Lori Miles will be selling off her entire career of artworks for rock-bottom prices. This Everything-Must-Go sale includes nearly-useless large-scale sculptures, offensive disaster-related paintings, odd assemblages that no one but a mother could love, and altered digital prints that seem to be from another time entirely. This clearing house exhibition will pave the way for a new, yet-unknown chapter of Miles' creative career, with possibilities including recycling plastic into boards to make a modern-day Tower of Babel, opening a donut shop because "everybody loves donuts", becoming a self-appointed cryptozoology expert, or beginning a writing career in the lucrative field of written erotica. The possibilities are endless, but only if she lets go of caring for her art from times past. -

Logan Dandridge
October 26 - December 1, 2020
Dandridge’s videos include footage from a wide variety of sources, reflecting his “interests in web-based culture and media convergence.” In Dandridge’s work, the athletic, the artistic, and the colloquial coexist with one another, as the artist draws his viewers into a world that “examines the poetics of memory and trauma in consort with a visual and textual exegesis of African American literature.” Music is central to Dandridge’s work, and his research and video installations explore the musical technique of counterpoint, which the artist describes as the “art of balancing similarity and difference to create harmony between separate melodies.” The images, language, and music in Dandridge’s videos are perpetually new, even to repeat visitors to the exhibition, as the videos are of different lengths and are constantly shifting in their relationship to one another, creating opportunities for different perspectives and nuanced responses. In this way, Dandridge is interested in the “associative dialogue” that emerges through “visual montage, proximity and simultaneity.” In response to the work, Dandridge observes that “within these emanations, the pride, beauty, and fear that infuse Black music is momentarily visible. Images are sometimes just documents, some are provocation, but others are testimony: The sounds is the picture.” Logan Dandridge (b. 1994, Richmond, VA) is a moving image artist whose films interrogate various histories through the poetics and aesthetics of experimental cinema. He received his BA from the University of Virginia in 2016 and his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Oxford’s Ruskin School of Art in 2018. -

Society of American Graphic Artists, Print Exhibition
February 3 – June 10, 2020
The Society of American Graphic Artists was founded in 1915 and called the Brooklyn Society of Etchers. It was started by printmakers with the goal of educating the public about printmaking as an art form. Some of the founding members were Ernest Roth, John Taylor Arms, Childe Hassam, and John Marin. The Council and members of SAGA continue the founding members’ mission through national exhibitions and print symposiums. SAGA today reflects the growth and changes taking place in printmaking. This exhibition displays the prints of sixty-six SAGA members with a variety of statements and techniques that reflect their individual approaches to printmaking. All the prints in this exhibition were created in the twenty-first century and include traditional and contemporary approaches to printmaking. In their prints, our members continue to show a wide variety of imagery, mediums and mastery of techniques, demonstrating the highest standards of excellence. Our members continue to push the medium and contribute to the growth of printmaking. -
