Part of Inauguration Events - SBU President Maurie McInnis
1pm | Charles B. Wang Center, Skylight Gallery
To Be Sold: Virginia and the American Slave Trade
To Be Sold examines the American slave trade before the Civil War through the works
of British artist Eyre Crowe (1824–1910), who sketched scenes of this inhumane activity
that he would later develop into a series of illustrations and paintings, including
his Slaves Waiting for Sale (1853). The exhibition is organized in three sections: The
Slave Trade and the Rise of Abolitionism, Eyre Crowe and His Paintings, and The Memory
of the Slave Trade. It explores the slave trade; the evolving iconography of abolitionist
art; and the role of visual culture and the language of abolitionism? in the transatlantic
world. The interactive tablets allow audiences to view Crowe’s paintings in detail
and offer audio of oral histories from formerly enslaved people recorded by the Works
Progress Administration in the 1930s. To Be Sold is curated by Maurie D. McInnis,
president of Stony Brook University, based on her book Slaves Waiting for Sale: Abolitionist
Art and the American Slave Trade (Chicago, 2012). The Exhibition was first organized
by the Library of Virginia with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do
not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. On view
from September 8 to December 10, 2021.
1:30pm | Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery, Staller Center
Dos Mundos: (Re)Constructing Narratives
Nearly 50 years after Puerto Rican photographers created the first Dos Mundos exhibition
in a New York art scene that did not represent them, En Foco’s fellowship recipients
continue the work of offering fresh visions that contest mainstream perspectives.
Evolving to contemporary circumstances and inequities exacerbated by the pandemic,
they maintain their commitments to their communities and individual photographic processes.
Many of them are also leaders, nurturing other artists of color across the diaspora,
in the South, the Bronx, classrooms, and beyond. Dos Mundos: (Re)constructing Narratives features
12 artists that center stories at the fringe of public attention: hidden sanctuaries,
subcultures, painful identities, far-away homes, spirituality, transcendence, broken
promises, and all too easily ignored social ecologies.
2pm | Melville Library, Lawrence Alloway Memorial Gallery, level 1
MFA solo exhibition: Heather Weston

M. C. Escher: A Mini-retrospective
The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics (SCGP) will present the world-renowned
artwork by the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) in the fall of 2021
from October 4 to November 15. Escher crafted an extraordinary graphic language inspired
by mathematics, puzzles and patterns. As part of the Center’s ten year celebration,
the SCGP is delighted to host this special exhibition. In addition to Escher’s iconic
mathematical art, the show will also feature some of his lesser-known early work that
focused on nature and landscape. The exhibit is curated by Lorraine Walsh, Art Director
and Curator, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, and Visiting Associate Professor.
