About

Window and Mirror: Distinctions Between Artists and Their Subjects features pairs of artworks from 19th- and 20th-century artists that compare self-portraits to the artists' portraits of other subjects. Through these juxtapositions, the exhibition invites us to engage with how artists explore their identity and their relationship to their creations.

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.
