About the Exhibition
“Ours is the wide-open mind with gusts of ideas blowing through it and demanding manifestation.”
Drawing inspiration from Jules André Smith’s 1939 essay, “An Insanitorium of Art,” US embraces Smith’s vision of an artistic practice rooted in inquiry and intellectual openness, and examines how generations of artists have engaged with the Art Center as a site for creative exploration.
The exhibition brings together works by six Bok Fellows from the 1930s and 40s, artists who spent their winters working at the Center, alongside selections by Smith himself. Named in honor of Mary Curtis Bok, whose support was instrumental to the establishment of the Art Center, these historical artists’ works are presented in dialogue with works by nine of our contemporary resident artists, the intellectual and artistic heirs of Smith’s Bok Fellows program.
