VAN EVERY GALLERY – Annual Student Art Exhibition
On View: April 17–May 3, 2023
Reception & Awards: Tuesday, May 2, 7-8:30 p.m.
The Van Every/Smith Galleries and the Davidson College Art Department will present our Annual Student Art Exhibition in the Van Every Gallery April 17 through May 3, 2023. The closing reception and awards will be held on Tuesday, May 2, 7-8:30pm. Join us for a family-style picnic and musical performance on the lawn next to the Katherine and Tom Belk Visual Arts Center.
The Annual Student Art Exhibition highlights more than 60 works created during the academic year at Davidson College. Works on view have been selected by studio art faculty and include drawings, paintings, sculptures, prints, digital art, and more.
Awards were selected by guest juror Caitlin Haskell ’00, the Gary C. and Frances Comer Curator in Modern and Contemporary Art and Director of Ray Johnson Collections and Research at the Art Institute of Chicago and will be announced at the reception on Tuesday, May 2. A scholar of 20th-century painting and sculpture, Caitlin’s exhibitions and publications have addressed the production and critical reception of modern art in Europe and the Americas.
After earning her undergraduate degree from Davidson College in Art History and Russian, Haskell pursued her Master’s and PhD at the University of Texas at Austin. She got her professional start as the Vivian L. Smith Foundation Fellow at the Menil Collection in Houston, TX. She then moved on to join the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) in 2012 first as assistant and later as associate curator. From 2013 to 2015, Haskell had a lead role in SFMoMA’s On the Go program and organized exhibitions such as Alexander Calder: Motion Lab (2016), Edvard Munch: Between the Clock and the Bed (2017), and René Magritte: The Fifth Season (2018). In 2021, her first exhibition and catalogue at the Art Institute of Chicago, Ray Johnson c/o, co-curated with Jordan Carter, was recognized by the New York Times as one of the year’s best art books. In 2022, she co-curated a Cezanne retrospective with the Art Institute’s Gloria Groom and Achim Boarchardt-Hume and Natalia Sidlina of Tate Modern.
