The List Gallery is pleased to announce Sharing Notes: Personal Narratives from the Philadelphia Arts Community, a four-part virtual lecture series highlighting individuals who have been making important contributions to the arts in the Philadelphia area. The distinguished speakers will share insights about how they have navigated the art world and discuss how the pandemic has led to innovative programming and strategies at their respective institutions. The List Gallery is honored to feature: Christina Vassallo, executive director of the Fabric Workshop and Museum; Ricky Yanas, artist, educator and co-founder of Ulises bookshop and curatorial platform; Jennifer-Navva Milliken, artistic director of the Center for Art in Wood; and Elizabeth Spungen, executive director of the Print Center, Philadelphia.

Another wonderful piece of the Spatial Recollections exhibition at the Swarthmore College List Gallery - Little Friend by Kevin Snipes, 2015, porcelain, glazes, underglaze, and oxide wash, 9 x 4 x 3 inches, private collection. Kevin Snipes records encrypted conversations and implied narratives on small curiously designed porcelain pots. Using humor and conceit as his methods, his drawings depict a cast of performing cartoonish figures in a display of contorted gestures and suggestive signals. Elaborately coiffed heads bend at right angles, eyes dart, sinuous limbs hang limp or twist improbably. However received, the response to Kevin Snipes’ charmed and unsettling offspring ranges from the sympathetic to the hilarious. What feelings does it evoke in you? Want to see this piece, not just as a picture? The List Gallery welcomes Swarthmore students to come and enjoy the artworks of prominent masters. Also, stay tuned for the live translation of the exhibition! Admission is limited to members of the Swarthmore College community who are authorized to be on campus. Located in the Lang Performing Arts Center, the List Gallery is open daily, Noon — 5:00 p.m. Reservations can be made via the GET Mobile App. During gallery hours, visitors can also call (610) 328-7811 or stop by the gallery to see if space is available.
