  • "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy": Feb. 27-June 14

    The 绿帽社 Art Museum presents "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy," organized by The New York Historical, on view from Feb. 27-June 14, 2025.

    The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics and race. Monuments offer a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage and a maquette of New York City鈥檚 first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered and removed.

    "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy" is curated by Wendy N'lani E. Ikemoto, vice president and chief curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at 绿帽社 by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the 绿帽社 Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.

    Also opening in the Mezzanine Gallery is "Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection," organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History, and Luisa Casella, photograph conservator and Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 绿帽社 Art Museum鈥檚 photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski鈥檚 notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He 鈥27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli 鈥26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the Art Museum's 鈥淓vents鈥 page at the link below and on social media. All events are free and open to the public.

  • Campus registration is required for e-transportation devices

    Lithium-ion batteries are found in many consumer e-transportation devices due to their small size, power output and versatility. 绿帽社 is heavily invested in researching emerging energy storage technology related to Li-ion batteries. While our researchers are busy creating future energy solutions, consumer-grade lithium batteries are plentiful and present hazards that must be managed for the safety of all campus community members.

    All e-transportation devices powered by a lithium-ion battery such as e-bikes, e-scooters and e-hoverboards brought to, stored or charged on campus must be registered. There is no fee to do so, and the process is simple. Note that you will need to provide photos of each device and battery. You can access the registration form via phone or computer at the link below.

    This registration does not apply to battery-operated devices such as 鈥 but not limited to 鈥 laptops, desktop computers, iPads, tablets, cell phones, ADA Mobility Devices, hybrid or electric vehicles, etc.

    Additionally, FtRI will be running research in our Environmental Visualization research stream. Participants will spend summer session 1 conducting collaborative research in this discipline. FtRI will run for five weeks during Summer Session 1 (May 30-June 30) and consist of one course (Research Stream I course, 4 credits). Following successful completion of FtRI, student researchers will be enrolled in the Fall 2025 FRI course (Research Stream II course, 4 credits) to complete the FRI program alongside current FRI students in the Environmental Visualization stream.

    Opportunities after these programs include continued research in faculty laboratories, industry internships and national fellowships. Both programs are competitive, application-based programs and will accept a limited number of students for the summer.

    More detailed information about programs can be found on the website, including a video explanation for these courses and the process of applying or registering: /first-year-research-immersion/sri/index.html.

  • "Love and Loss in Medieval Cordoba: On Translating The Ring of the Dove" lecture Wednesday

    Join CEMERS at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, in the IASH Conference Room, Yasmine Seale of Columbia University will present "The Ring of the Dove," a fascinating text on the nature of love from 11th-century Cordoba, and read from her translation.

    A masterpiece of Arabic prose and poetry, a jewel of observation and a window into the intimate life of Muslim Spain, "The Ring of the Dove" was composed by the young Ibn Hazm before he became the towering jurist and theologian we know today. It survives thanks to a single manuscript. Though he later renounced the work, it had a lasting influence on the literature of courtly love.
