Three Decades of Dance Photographs
Pilobolus Comes Home
Pilobolus Dance Theatre, founded by Dartmouth students in 1971, has changed the course of contemporary dance through its signature style of closely combined bodies and its radically innovative approach to collaborative artistic creation. Dartmouth celebrated Pilobolus's donation of its remarkable archives with a residence, performances, educational programs, and this exhibition at the Hood of stunning photographs chronicling thirty-five years of the company's work.

Visual Lessons in Biology
Life Forms
Life Forms explored the boundary between art and science with anatomical atlases, student drawings, wax and plaster sculptures, films and diagrams of cellular processes, and the National Institute of Health’s Visible Human Project. The exhibition coincided with Dartmouth’s spring 2006 Humanities Institute, “Visual Pedagogy and Culture in the Life Sciences.”
Paintings and Drawings from the Collection
Form and Presence
Enrico Riley, Senior Lecturer, selected paintings and drawings from the Hood’s collection for his fall drawing course. Students enrolled in the course helped him hang the works and studied them throughout the term. Artists in the show included Amadeo Modigliani, Alice Neel, Milton Resnick, and Jake Berthot.
