This is the fourth exhibition since 2019 in which the museum has invited students from AU's Curatorial Practice class to look to its Corcoran Legacy Collection not only as a source of exhibition content, but as source of provocations about this content. Alone, Together explores art as a form of social connection. In today’s world, people often feel disconnected from themselves and each other — how can we change that? Presenting works by »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ area artists from 1967–1998, including Rebecca Davenport’s Self-Portrait, Lani Irwin’s Queen of Hearts, and William Woodward’s Promenade, the exhibition invites viewers into domestic, natural, and abstract spaces for reflection, conversation, and shared experience.
