The Day After Tomorrow: Art in Response to Turmoil and Hope

Exhibition

Our new reality is profoundly different than it was six months ago. Curated amid pandemic and protests, "The Day After Tomorrow: Art in Response to Turmoil and Hope" explores how artists respond to crisis, offering parallels to our own emotions and experiences this year.

"The Day After Tomorrow" is divided into three themes. "A Better Tomorrow" focuses on transcendence, alternate realities, the divine, afterlife, and bliss. "A Worse Yesterday" comprises works of art that address events that have shaken the world and thrown it into crises such as world wars, nuclear proliferation, AIDS, genocide, racism, and immigration. "Awry Ecosystem" focuses on art by artists concerned with the environment and how humans are changing it.

Also included is a Community Response Space, which will feature rotating exhibitions of work by local artists and where you can share your personal journey through an interactive display.

Women, Surrealism, and Abstraction

Exhibition

During the 20th century, art made by women was often overlooked or dismissed by museums, collectors, and art historians. Featuring work by 46 artists, "Women, Surrealism, and Abstraction" attempts to present a more holistic and complex view of art history—one that highlights artwork by women pushing beyond societal expectations and creative limitations through Surrealism and abstraction. Also featured alongside the art are 16 poems written by women in the Cache Valley literary community.

Hansen Seminar: Amy Rosenzweig

Lecture/Readings

Methane emissions, which are among the most potent greenhouse gases, are a critical concern because of their ability to absorb the sun’s heat and warm the Earth’s atmosphere. Bioinorganic chemist Amy Rosenzweig says methanotrophic bacteria, commonly found in soils, wetlands and marshes, use copper from the environment to convert harmful methane into useful energy and chemicals.

Rosenzweig, Weinberg Family Distinguished Professor of Life Sciences at Illinois’ Northwestern University, discusses this process as featured speaker for USU's 2020 R. Gaurth Hansen Seminar series, Wednesday Dec. 2. She presents “Biological Methane Oxidation” at 4 p.m. Mountain via Zoom. Hosted by USU’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the lecture is open to all. For Zoom access information, visit: https://chem.usu.edu/seminars/index

Rosenzweig is the 13th annual Hansen Seminar speaker. The seminar series honors the late R. Gaurth Hansen (1920-2002), a renowned USU professor, researcher and administrator.
