CINCINNATI, OH.- In 2011, John E. Dowell dreamt of his grandmother, which led him to photograph the seminal cotton plant. The dream spawned a personal response to his ancestral legacy; from recording the beauty of cotton to imagining the horrors of slavery front and center. In the exhibition “John E. Dowell: Pathways to Freedom,” he uses a photographic series to place the viewer in the cotton fields, employing digital editing techniques to “conjure the spirits of the dead rising from out of the cotton field.”

ROCKLAND, ME.- The Center for Maine Contemporary Art announced the upcoming exhibition i forgot to remember, featuring the work of Katarina Weslien. Drawing on a four-decades-long multi-disciplinary practice, artist Katarina Weslien has created a large-scale and expansive exhibition for the Main Gallery at CMCA. i forgot to remember is immersive and experiential, reflecting the artist’s “deep, on-going interest in the tactile and metaphoric power of cloth; how mute objects speak; and how objects elicit memories, emotions, and embodied imaginations in the face of impermanence, disorder, and displacement,” in the words of Suzanne Weaver, a Maine-based independent curator and former museum curator of modern and contemporary art. i forgot to remember opens on September 28, 2024, and runs through May 4, 2025.

Renowned for his abstract sculptures, Strzelec created a circuit of lines that rise from the ground and curve around each other in an infinite flow. Photo: Staff Photo. NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ.- Outdoor sculptures across all three campuses of Rutgers University have become landmarks for the campus community and visitors: a spot to meet friends or colleagues; inspiration for reflections and conversation; the backdrop for selfies and graduation photos. On College Avenue in New Brunswick, the new sculpture Past is Prologue, by artist Patrick Strzelec, creates an inviting atmosphere on the front terrace of the Zimmerli Art Museum on Hamilton Street, making art accessible to visitors and passersby, even if the museum is closed.

LOS ANGELES, CA.- It’s tough to see the resemblance. In the Broadway production of David Henry Hwang’s “Yellow Face,” starting previews at the Todd Haimes Theater on Sept. 13, Daniel Dae Kim will star as DHH, a fictionalized, none-too-sympathetic character based very loosely on the Tony-winning playwright.

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”
