Jason S. Yi: Terraform
October 6 - December 9, 2016
Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts Gallery An investigation of our terrestrial existence and experience critically affect Jason S. Yi’s work. The created forms and images become amalgamations of natural and built surroundings addressing the environmental and societal issues shaping the world. He incorporates humble materials and detritus to produce reimagined landscapes that reflect and critique conditions of contemporary society. Former architectural education and experience inform the work of psychology of spatial perceptions and his subsequent compositional decisions. An array of thoughts including environmental havoc transforming landscapes and human lives is intertwined to form a new visual terrain underscoring the nuances of perceptual experience and destabilizing our sense of reality. This exhibition is made possible by the Arthur E. Klauser Asian & World Community Collection Endowment and the Asian Studies Program at DePauw University. -
Where Do We Migrate To?
September 8 – December 9, 2016
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (Lower Level) Where Do We Migrate To? explores diverging ways in which forms of migration, experiences of displacement, and questions of belonging have been addressed by artists in recent years. Displaying a multiplicity of migratory encounters, the exhibition presents multiple perspectives about its subject matter, opening up a range of political, psychological, poetic, and pragmatic manifestations of the contemporary migrant experience. The internationally touring exhibition Where Do We Migrate To? is curated by Niels Van Tomme, Director at de Appel arts centre in Amsterdam, and organized by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, which also published the exhibition catalogue by the same title. The exhibition and catalogue are made possible, in part, with the support of the Flemish Government through Flanders House New York. Additional funding for this activity at DePauw University is made possible, in part, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. -
Abstract Traditions: Postwar Japanese Prints from the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection
August 24 – December 9, 2016
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (Upper Level)A pivotal moment in Japanese printmaking history, the artists associated with the modern print movement broke with centuries of rigid tradition and embraced the flexibility and spontaneous creativity afforded them by sketching, carving, and printing their own works. Previously, historic Japanese prints prior to the early 20thcentury relied upon a well-established workshop method in which artists, carvers, and printmakers each completed a specialized task in the printmaking process. This exhibition and the accompanying catalog feature, for the first time, 40 key abstract pieces from the DePauw University permanent art collection. Noted artists include: Iwami Reika, Onchi Koshiro, Sekino Junichiro, Shinoda Toko, and Yamaguchi Gen. This exhibition and the accompanying print catalog was made possible with generous support from: Arthur E.

Rebecca Seeman: light play
August 24 – September 28, 2016
Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts Gallery Rebecca Seeman manipulates and arrays multiples of humble household castoffs. In repurposing them she creates aesthetic spaces using directed light and cast shadows to engage the walls’ dimensions and surfaces in collaboration with the objects. Despite the lack of overt physicality the works may have an imaginary spatial expanse that, with the points of light, may also suggest faraway astral bodies. -
