COLUMBUS MUESUM OF ART, 2019
Alice Schille Exhibit
I partnered with MoMa staff guest curator, Tara Keny, to create graphics for her debut exhibit, In a New Light: Alice Schille and the American Watercolor Movement, in the artist’s home town in June 2019.
The exhibit was partitioned by location, requiring historically accurate maps from the artist’s travels (1912 - 1938). The maps were an integral addition for museum-goers to understand the project, as many of the country borders and city names changed after WWII.
I conducted extensive research of the historical borders of the locations before drawing the maps, then laid them over modern maps to illustrate them as accurately as possible.
This exhibit launched at the Columbus Museum of Art in the artist’s home town in June until the end of September 2019 before traveling to other museums until the end of the year. It has garnered praise as the most expansive Alice Schille exhibition yet by media outlets and a documentary about the exhibit is currently in post-production.
A documentary, Schille (2021), was produced for PBS by Kurt Vincent and Irene Kim Chin to document the history and process of the exhibit and background on Tara and her father, Jim Keny.
