March 2009 Events Calendar

March 1

A Tapestry of Memories: The Art of Dinh Q. Lê The first major survey of the work of this Vietnamese-American artist. Lê’s tapestries and video installations reveal a two-decade-long introspective journey in which the artist has brought his vision to bear on the dislocation and cultural displacement he experienced, first in fleeing his homeland, then with his immersion in American culture, and ultimately upon the return to his estranged and yet familiar country. Through his art, Lê has sought to negotiate the differing perspectives he holds—Vietnamese, American-Vietnamese and American—on Vietnam, the American-Vietnam War and his place in the two societies in which he finds both belonging and alienation. Aidekman Arts Center, Tisch Gallery, through March 29. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., and Thursdays until 8 p.m., except March 14–22, galleries open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. –5 p.m. For information, call 617-627-3518 or go to http://ase.tufts.edu/gallery/exhibitions/exhibitions.html.

Christian Tomaszewski: Hunting for Pheasants New York-based Christian Tomaszewski (b. 1971) is an installation artist whose work over the past decade has been heavily influenced by film, filmic representation and recreations of film sets from memory on both miniature and monumental scales. Tomaszewski’s project Hunting for Pheasants takes its inspiration from the Polish School of film posters of the 1960s and 1970s, a prominent influence on Polish artists born in the 1970s. Expanding upon his November 2008 exhibition at Galerie Michael Wiesehöfer in Cologne, Tomaszewski’s installation comprises a series of 82 “poster drawings” for movies that don’t actually exist, installed over a colorful array of striped panels on the gallery’s perimeter walls, as if curated to give a taste of a certain political moment with its own particular bygone aesthetic. Aidekman Arts Center, Koppelman Gallery and Remis Sculpture Court, through March 29. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., and Thursdays until 8 p.m., except March 14–22, galleries open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. For information, call 617-627-3518 or go to http://ase.tufts.edu/gallery/exhibitions/exhibitions.html.
