ON VIEW / EDUCATION HALLWAY / FEB 4–AUG 3 MULTIPLES AND MODES OF ACCESS Art techniques that produce multiples have been widely adopted by artists in a variety of mediums. In printmaking, Ukiyo-e woodblock prints from Japan (17th–19th centuries) were produced in the thousands, though each impression would have slight differences due to the wear of the wood over time, or variations in the application of ink. Today, digital printingmethods, at the intersection of art and technology, also come with subtle differences, from the type of printer used to how final products are manually finished. The sculptural works included in this exhibition are also multiples, as they are part of a series, created en masse, or as a set, spanning the 1100s through the present. This exhibition multiplies works of art through a variety of forms, such as braille translation, large text labels, audio descriptions, tactile graphics, and 3D prints. Emphasizing that accessibility initiatives benefit all, these multimodal recreations function as tools for learning for every visitor through sound, touch, and sight. Organized by Ellis Lane (OC 2022), Curatorial Assistant, Education Department Unrecorded artist (Tesuque Pueblo, NewMexico), Statuette of a Rain God, early 20th century. Pottery. Allen Memorial Art Museum, 1900.123C. THE WELTZHEIMER/JOHNSON HOUSE SERVES AS A SPECIAL GATHERING PLACE FOR THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY Recently, various campus groups visited the Oberlin College-ownedWeltzheimer/Johnson House designed by Frank LloydWright. In August, the Allen partnered with the Multicultural Resource Commons to facilitate a dialogue on the topic of “home,” using the house and an artwork by Faith Ringgold as the centerpieces for discussion. The house offered the perfect place for alumni working on campus to join in meaningful conversation and to share a meal on the patio. In October, Administrative and Professional Staff came together for an informational tour and light refreshments after work. Suzanne Denneen and Ann Stricklen, both members of the A&PS Social Committee, worked with Jill Greenwood to plan a relaxing evening surrounded by the changing colors of fall. Instead of Fallingwater, it was falling leaves. AT THE ALLEN / SPRING 2025 / 11
