A New Narrative through Film by Sienna Byrne

Posted on by Grace Rocker

Being at home in Hawaii for the majority of the past year, I’ve gained a new sense of appreciation for the art that tells the stories of the place that I was born and raised. Though I couldn’t be further from the large displays of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Read more about A New Narrative through Film by Sienna Byrne[…]

Humans of the Art Museum – Talking to an SAB Insider, Oliver Nusbaum ’22

Posted on by Grace Rocker

The fact that the Museum lets students get access to works that are not even on display is amazing, and the fact that they have such high quality works to show students made me incredibly impressed and excited to be an Art History major after that day.

Countryside, The Future: An Art Museum’s Take on Modern Environmental Issues – Lois Wu ’23

Posted on by mariwala

The exhibition was designed to focus on issues surrounding land use in the “countryside”, roughly defined as any non-urban area… I love art museums and think that finding a sustainable human-environment relationship is one of the most pressing issues of our day, but I don’t generally think of art museums as champions of environmental activism—I wanted to see how these topics were brought together in this “not-art-exhibition”.

Activating a Public Space: An Airport Art Museum – Anoushka Mariwala ’21

Posted on by ck10

It is curiously calming to be indistinguishable amongst eddies of travellers and airplanes, at the centre of this space between separation and assimilation. However, this summer made me realize how much Read more about Activating a Public Space: An Airport Art Museum – Anoushka Mariwala ’21[…]

Art Made Between Opposite Sides – Cathleen Kong ’20

Posted on by ck10

When I emerged from the 59th Street subway station, my eyes were struck by the sun’s last rays peeking between office buildings. I squinted to adjust my eyes, and almost didn’t notice that I was standing directly in front of my destination, the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City. The MAD Read more about Art Made Between Opposite Sides – Cathleen Kong ’20[…]

My Birth: An Installation by Carmen Winant – Morgan Steelman ’20

Posted on by ck10

The history of art is rich with images of the moments before and after birth. Nearly 40,000 years ago early humans were creating ‘Venus figurines’ – two and three-dimensional images of fully fleshed women with large breasts and round stomachs– as symbols of fertility and the generation of life. In Renaissance Europe, birth trays were Read more about My Birth: An Installation by Carmen Winant – Morgan Steelman ’20[…]

The Galleria Borghese – Grace Guan ’20

Posted on by ck10

If I could stand in one place to watch modern day history unfold, I’d stand over Italy for its centuries of art history. This summer, I was extremely fortunate to visit the basilicas and castles sprinkled throughout the canals of Venice, the famous Uffizi and Accademia in Florence that represent the heart of the Renaissance, Read more about The Galleria Borghese – Grace Guan ’20[…]
