Art and Industry in Early America: Rhode Island Furniture, 1650-1830 is an exciting new exhibition at the Yale University Art Gallery surveying cabinets, chairs, tables, clocks and more from the early days of that wonderful state. It’s the first comprehensive look at its subject in half a century, so seeing the exhibit is a little like seeing Halley’s comet. Art and Industry runs until January 8 of next year, allowing plenty of time for interested students to check it out.

Yalies Travel to Wyoming – Via Kroon Hall

The most important piece of information at the small exhibit in Room G01, Kroon Hall is its title: “Ucross: A Portrait in Place.” The exhibit only makes sense with the knowledge that all the works were inspired by the same place, Ucross Foundation’s cattle ranch in Wyoming. The artworks produced by the seven featured artists initially seems too diverse to cohere, but by keeping an idea of the ranch as setting and source of inspiration, I could see them begin to speak to each other, and a portrait of the place really does emerge.
