Beginning on Tuesday, March 31, the Hudson Library & Historical Society will be presenting a spring series of art programs. The art of the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (MOCA) will be featured when Megan Lykins, Director of Education and Associate Curator will show highlights of the museum’s current exhibit, “Superlight”.
Reich says Superlight is an exhibition of outstanding work by artists from around the world working at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture. “Using humor and popular culture, their art addresses such critical issues as the effects of a global economy, climate change, psychological warfare, environmental degradation, and colonialism.” Ranging from video installations to a luminous environment of activated found objects, the art is passionate and critical without being heavy or polemical, serious and "superlight" at the same time.
On April 21, The Executive Director of the Canton Museum of Art, M. J. Albacete, will discuss the artifacts found in Tomb of Tutankhamen. Albacete’s slide show will follow archaeologist Howard Carter “from the exciting moment of discovery through the removal and conservation of many items found in Tut’s tomb.” He has made several visits to Egypt and will show the most important artifacts discovered in addition to bringing a model of the tomb. This program is made possible with the help of a grant from the Ohio Humanities Council.
The last program in the series is on May 5 and features the Master Paintings of the Butler Institute of American Art of Youngstown. The Butler collection includes works from four centuries of art from Master Artists such as Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, John Sloan, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jacob Lawrence.
All three programs begin at 7 p.m. and are free. No registration is required. Questions may be directed to the Reference Desk at 330/653-6658 x 1010, askus@hudson.lib.oh.us or visiting our web site at www.hudsonlibrary.org.
