New exhibitions are scheduled to open on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 in the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at the Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

     “Facing the Revolution: Portraits of Women in France and the United States” focuses on the transformative period of political revolution in France and America. The exhibition, which   coincides with Women’s History Month, foregrounds portraits of the prominent female personalities who helped shape this historical period (1775–1835).

“Living Treasure and Fabulous Follies” also opens on March 25 with work from renowned goldsmith Robert Baines, a native of Australia, his work explores the ways in which artistic styles and forms change over time. A specialist in the study of archaeometallurgy (ancient jewelry production), he incorporates ancient techniques into his art and narratives.

“House of the Singing Winds” is a new work, opening on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 by Arthur Liou, Herman B Wells Endowed Professor of Digital Art at Indiana University. This multichannel video was inspired by the historical Indiana home and studio of painter Theodore Clement (T. C.) Steele.

Capturing the historic Steele home in stunning, high-definition video throughout the seasons, the work includes a voiceover inspired by the writings of Steele’s wife, Selman Neubacher Steele, who preserved the house and grounds as a memorial site after her husband’s passing.
