It is an exhibition about the forced exile and need for emigration of a key group of Austrian artists in the first half of this century, the impact of these new arrivals on the American artistic community, the loss to the Austrian avant-garde, and the potential process of reclamation. In so doing, the exhibition is also about the creation of identity and memory and the social, political and economic underpinnings of an artist's work. The Mary and Leigh Block Gallery has organized a variety of programs and events during April and May in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition. The Mary and Leigh Block Gallery is located at 1967 S. Campus Drive on the Arts Circle of the Evanston campus. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and noon to 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
Admission is free.
Parking permits are available from the Block Gallery for events held during weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Facilities on the Arts Circle are accessible to the disabled.
