Shadows of History: Photographs of the Civil War
February 4–May 6, 2012
NOW at the Corcoran is a series of exhibitions that presents new and site-specific work by emerging and mid-career artists. It highlights work that addresses issues central to the local, national, and global communities of Washington, D.C., and that responds to the collections, history, and architecture of the museum. NOW programming has a dynamic and integrated relationship with the Corcoran College of Art + Design. As the only visual arts college in Washington, D.C., the Corcoran’s active base of practicing art students and faculty makes it a natural center for making, displaying, and thinking about contemporary art. Visiting artists will participate in guest lectures, workshops, and studio critiques with students. At times they will also be able to work with students to create their projects, so that exhibitions will serve as opportunities to engage both student curricula and the artist’s working process.
