About

In the Space Between encourages visitors to embrace moments of introspection as a means of making progress. It questions the conventional view of time as a straight line propelling us forward by revealing how our past—marked by our memories and unresolved experiences—shapes our present and future. By suggesting that true progress is rooted in self-reflection, these 20th- and 21st-century paintings and photographs illustrate how personal history is a continuous presence informing an ongoing reflection on who we have been and who we are becoming.

A Space for Dialogue is a student-curated exhibition program that began in 2001. Hood Museum of Art interns create an installation drawn from the museum's permanent collection by engaging with every aspect of curation, from doing research and selecting objects, to choosing frames and a wall color, to planning a layout and writing labels and a brochure, to giving a public talk. There have been over 100 A Space for Dialogue exhibitions on a wide variety of themes.  

A Space for Dialogue: Fresh Perspectives on the Permanent Collection from Dartmouth Students, founded with support from the Class of 1948, is made possible with generous endowments from the Class of 1967, Bonnie and Richard Reiss Jr. '66, and Pamela J. Joyner '79.
