Exhibition: John F. Phillips `67

Selma and Lowndes County: Photographs from 1965-1967 by John F. Phillips `67

Photographs by the late John F. Phillips '67, who left Grinnell College in 1965 to document the struggle for civil rights in the segregated South. The exhibition is on view in the Print and Drawing Study Room and on the lower level of the John Chrystal Center. Exhibition runs through August 15.

Exhibition: Holzer`s Inflammatory Essays

Faulconer Gallery intern Nic Wilson '12 uses Jenny Holzer’s "Inflammatory Essays" as the starting point for an exploration of art, context and meaning. Part of Holzer’s multi-part piece will be presented in the Chrystal Center, and other parts will be presented around campus. http://holzr.tumblr.com Nic writes: “Jenny Holzer’s Inflammatory Essays draws its voice from the speeches of (in)famous political figures such as Trotsky, Mao and Lenin amongst others. Rearranging these texts, appropriating their style and power for her own ends, Holzer aims at provocation, at urgency. Wealth is condemned in one breath and lauded in the next; from the print calls the voice of both the executioner and the soul for whom the gallows await. Holzer is not interested in a particular didactic message but says rather, 'I wanted the reader to jump, at least, and maybe consider doing something useful'. Holzer is interested in action, in agency, on the part of the viewer.” Exhibition runs 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday April 23 until June 8th.

There's Something Happening Here

March 11 to June 3, 2012; Burling Gallery

Curated by members of the classes of 1971-1973

By the early 70s, the cultural changes and protests of the late 60s had engulfed Grinnell College, for better or worse. As part of their 30th Reunion activities, the cluster of classes from 1971-73 have curated an exhibition from their Grinnell memorabilia, creating a snapshot of the life and issues on campus in turbulent times.

Burling Gallery: 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Monday-Friday; 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday

1966 Yearbook Project

April 13 to June 3, 2012; Faulconer Gallery

In 1966, Henry Wilhelm '68, with photography and writing assistance from John Phillips '67, John Wolf '66, and Robert Hodierne '68, created a yearbook that captured the place and people of Grinnell. More a series of photo essays than a traditional yearbook, the project has an aesthetic that is captivating even today. The College administration, however, found the content a little too real, asked to have sections removed, and when they couldn't come to an agreement with the editors, refused to allow its publication. It was eventually published in 1986. This exhibition of selected images is the result of Wilhelm's complete digital remastering of the images for online access.

Faulconer Gallery: noon-5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday; noon-8 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
