I always love going home over break, not only because I get to see my friends and family, but also because I have an opportunity to see all of the great art in New York City.

On March 6, 2020, I visited the Dallas Museum of Art – my first time ever visiting an art museum.

Revisiting Nature’s Nation During the Pandemic – Isabel Griffith-Gorgati ’21

Posted on by

eing away from campus and adapting to a lifestyle of social distancing has changed my way of thinking about how to conscientiously inhabit space with or without others. One of my favorite Princeton University Art Museum exhibits, Nature’s Nation: American Art and Environment (2018), is resonating with me in new ways right now. I’ve always loved living in the city, but during the pandemic I’ve been lucky to be able to spend most of my time in rural New Hampshire. Usually, I learn to love a place because of the people who make it feel like home, so it feels very different to develop an appreciation for a place precisely because it offers isolation.

Posted on by ck10

  March is Women’s History Month. To be honest, I didn’t really know what Women’s History Month was until recently, when I learned that it “recognizes the great contributions that women have made to our nation.” Upon further research, I realized that it was also celebrated in the UK, Australia, and Canada. In honor of Women’s Read more about Women of PUAM’s Highlights Tour – Grace Guan ’20[…]

Hold: A Meditation on Black Aesthetics – Cathleen Kong ’20

Posted on by ck10

The mission of the exhibition Hold: A Meditation on Black Aesthetics was twofold. On one hand it displayed the Princeton University Art Museum’s initiative to raise exposure of African American art and works from artists of the African diaspora. On the other it tackled a conceptual problem: exhibiting black aesthetics without strictly defining black aesthetics. Read more about Hold: A Meditation on Black Aesthetics – Cathleen Kong ’20[…]
