In September, the Weisman Art Museum's Interpretation Assistant, Eileen Bass, interviewed artist Courtney M. Leonard in connection with her site-specific artwork BREACH: Logbook | CULL, 2022. The resulting interview is a rich record of Leonard's process and weaves between topics of: clay, water rights, the passage of time, and her experience as an indigenous artist in non-indigenous arts spaces. 

Weisman Art Museum (WAM) is pleased to present Urban Cadence, on view from October 6 - December 31, 2023. The opening event for this exhibition on Thurs., Oct. 5 includes an early look at the show, plus a special live performance by the Black Atlantics, led by Afrofusion musician Obi Original, as well as Nigerian fare by WaZoBia and a cash bar.

Eugène Atget’s documentary photographs, mostly taken in Paris during the early 1920s, offer haunting, uncanny city scenes bereft of human actors. Often beginning his work before dawn, Atget would carry a bulky (and increasingly obsolescent) bellows camera while strolling the streets, endeavoring to capture a city on the brink of dramatic urban transformation. These images are imbued with nostalgia and a sense of loss.

This presentation was recorded on April 19 in conjunction with the exhibition MESSAGE FROM OUR PLANET: DIGITAL ART FROM THE THOMA COLLECTION and is available via the Weisman’s YouTube channel.
