Enjoy the public viewing of the University of Kentucky Art Museum’s sister exhibition of All in the Family.
Many of the works featured at UKAM are part of the Museum’s permanent collection, with additional art borrowed from studios, galleries, and collections. They include Edgar Tolson’s carved wooden sculpture of Adam and Eve; Elinor Carucci, Gaela Erwin, Tommy Kha, Rolf Koppel, Guy Mendes, and Marilyn Minter’s portraits of their mothers; images of their own or other’s families by Rockwell Kent, Russell Lee, and Baldwin Lee (no relation); Robert Morgan’s cabinet filled with commemorative plates, cups, and books that chronicle men he has cared for through addiction and legal woes; and Aaron Skolnick’s tender portraits of himself and his husband Louis Zoellar Bickett during the final month of Bickett’s life, among others. James Baker Hall, Barbara Pollack, and Chris Verene each offer mediations on the “family album” in photographs, books, and video.
The two-venue exhibition will be on view both at the University of Kentucky Museum and 2nd Story.
