'After Sept. 11' exhibition opens
After Sept. 11," an exhibition that explores how the work
of 12 regional artists has been influenced by the tragic
events of one year ago, will open Monday, Sept. 9, at
the newly renovated Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs' Bernstein Gallery on the lower level
of Robertson Hall.
The public is invited to an opening
reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13. The exhibition
runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays through
Dec. 1.
Robertson, including the gallery space,
has been undergoing significant renovations over the past
year. The Bernstein Gallery originally was dedicated in 1990
as a memorial to former Woodrow Wilson School Dean Marver
Bernstein and his wife, Sheva.
It is intended as a showcase for art
reflecting the mission of the Woodrow Wilson School. "At the
Woodrow Wilson School, we encourage our students to take an
interdisciplinary approach to solving public policy
problems," said Associate Dean Karen Jezierny, who has
spearheaded the effort to make the gallery a place where art
and public policy coexist. "Incorporating the visual arts
into the students' academic experience serves to further
broaden their outlook."
Curator Kate Somers said, "The idea of
having exhibitions at WWS which tie in to the school's
curriculum makes a lot of sense. 'After Sept. 11' is an
appropriate inaugural show for the gallery the work on view
will be a deeply moving reflection of how 12 regional
artists have expressed, in art, their emotional, spiritual
and political reactions to that event."
The other shows planned for 2002-03
include: "In Their Backyard: Community Health Leaders,"
showcasing black and white photography by Larry Fink of
community health leaders across the country who have
dedicated their lives to improving health care for
vulnerable populations; "Africa's 'Lunatics,'" featuring the
work of the young Frenchman, Vincent Fougere, who spent
eight years photographing people with serious mental illness
in Africa; and a juried competition of photography by
Woodrow Wilson School students as they express visually
their academic studies both here and abroad
