Making Face: Depictions of Women in Japan From Edo to Today

History of Art & Architecture Department
University Art Gallery, Frick Fine Arts Buildling
Showing Now through Friday, December 4th

Fall exhibition hours: Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

"Making Faces" is the culmination of a Museum Studies seminar taught by Eric C. Shiner, The Milton Fine Curator of Art at The Andy Warhol Museum. Twenty-five students spent the early part of the semester learning about Japan, woodblock prints and curatorial practice, and then worked in teams to present this exhibition as part of their course credit. The group made all decisions relating to the exhibition, including theme, installation technique, lighting and wall panel design, and also wrote all label texts as part of this unique hands-on learning process. Additional prints are on display in the Special Collections section of Hillman Library.
