"Under Pressure?": An Interactive Gallery Session Exploring through Art the Challenges and Stresses of Contemporary Life—with Curator Ed Maxedon and museum staff

This is a small-group program and requires participants to sign up in advance. Participants must be IU undergraduates and must sign up using the established procedures. For complete sign-up procedures, click here.

The focus of this after-hours program at the IU Art Museum will be on selections from Pressure Points, a special Fall 2004 exhibition of 54 prints, by 23 artists, on loan from the renowned Schnitzer Foundation. Some of the images are playful, while others are more disturbing. All have been created in the past seven years and "dare the viewer to think, question, and react," as one commentator has noted. Participants, together and in small groups, will explore how these contemporary artists have used the language of art to convey identity, to face memories, to challenge stereotypes, to question reality, to interact with popular culture, to engage social and political issues, and to cross artistic, social, and personal borders.
