UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Joseph Grigely: 25 Years of Conversation
Spagnuolo Art Gallery
Grigely (American b. 1956, lives Chicago) has been deaf since the age of 10; his works explore the relationship between the auditory and the visual experience. The exhibition will feature selections from the series Songs Without Words (2008-). Guest curated by Yuri Stone, Assistant Curator, Glenstone Museum.
History of the Spagnuolo Gallery
The first art gallery to feature the work of professional artists on Georgetown University’s campus, The Lucille M. and Richard F. X. Spagnuolo Art Gallery was established in 2003. Initially it hosted three professional artist exhibitions and at least one student exhibition per year under the direction of the Department of Art & Art History. Concurrent to the construction of the Maria & Alberto de la Cruz Art Gallery, the Spagnuolo Gallery received extensive renovations, improving the Gallery’s appearance and ability to host multimedia projects. Today it hosts two outside, professional artist exhibitions per year along with shows featuring student and faculty artists.

Beth Katleman: Strange Arcadia
August 28 – December 7, 2018
Katleman (American b. 1959, lives NY) creates 3D porcelain installations that playfully reference pop culture and art history. She seeks out mass-produced items like bobbleheads, erasers, dog toys, and cake toppers to meticulously cast in porcelain by hand. Combined in island-like vignettes and inspired by both eighteenth-century royal palaces and a dark sense of humor, Katleman imbues these objects with tension.
This exhibition paired a ¾ scale version of Katleman’s seminal work, Folly (2010), left; and Paradise (2018), a smaller piece produced this year. Katleman employs porcelain, wire, and heat-shrink tubing to craft these installations.
