Exhibitions: Yoav Horesh: Aftermath and Messengers: Artists as Witnesses 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

10:00 AM to 4:00 PM - Paul Creative Arts Center Museum of Art: YOAV HORESH: AFTERMATH | From 2002–2005, Yoav Horesh photographed hundreds of sites in Israel of suicide bombings, months and even years after the destructive blasts. The apparent return to normalcy or the abandonment of spaces reveals a society accustomed to random violence on a massive scale. In an increasingly desensitized environment of war imagery, Horesh challenges us to think about the aftermath. MESSENGERS: ARTISTS AS WITNESSES | Ten contemporary regional and national artists create work that gives voice to others, acting as witnesses by recounting significant events and personal narratives that go beyond media accounts and by doing so acting as harbingers for social change. Themes addressed include incarceration, criminality, state-sanctioned violence, terrorism and evil. Exhibiting artists include: Sanford Biggers, Philip Brou, Daniel Heyman, Alix Lambert, Shaun Leonardo, Dan Mills, Cheryl Pope, Rudy Shepherd, Sheida Soleimani, and Stephen Tourlentes. HOURS: September - May, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; and Saturday from 1-5 p.m.; Closed Sunday.

Permanent COLLECTION

The Collections

The Museum of Art of the University of New Hampshire maintains a permanent art collection intended for use in exhibitions, teaching, and research. Since it is in part a teaching collection, attention must be given to coordinating our acquisitions with academic needs. The major goal of the museum is to acquire works of art of the highest quality in accordance with the museum's Collection Guidelines. The Museum holds its collection in the public trust which obligates acting in accordance with the National Standards and Best Practices for U.S. Museums and The Code of Ethics for Museums from the American Alliance of Museums.
