Personal Space September 12, 2013 - December 7, 2013 Denison Museum is pleased to welcome the exhibition "Personal Space". "Personal Space" will explore the fragility of the human body, utopian and dystopian realities/fantasies, vulnerability, fear, anxiety, and desire. The New York based artists comprising the show -- Jennifer Cohen, Dani Leventhal, Yasue Maetake, Ohad Meromi, and Jennifer Nuss will exhibit work ranging from modestly scaled drawings to large sculptures and video.

In an ongoing effort to highlight the outstanding quality of Denison Museum’s permanent collection, the five artists participating in "Personal Space" have generously curated pieces from the Museum’s permanent collection that will be on view in the smaller gallery.

These exhibitions have been organized by Tommy White, Denison University Assistant Professor of Studio Art.

2013/2014
Green Revolution Fall 2013 - Spring 2014 Green Revolution is Denison Museum’s enthusiastic response to “Real Utopias: From Dreams to Practice,” Spectrum’s 2013-2014 campus theme. Green Revolution is a hot new traveling show from the Smithsonian---an eco-friendly, minimal carbon footprint exhibition based on a model originally created by Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. Denison Museum is also pleased to share the blueprints for this virtual exhibition with The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology. Beginning in summer 2013, Denison Museum will be challenging the campus to collect re-used and recycled materials that will serve as the building blocks for a set of mini-exhibits on various topics including Carbon Footprint, Waste Not, Energy, Hybrid House, Composting and Gardening, and Green Jobs/Green Pioneers. The Works will launch a similar initiative in Newark but gear their version of the show to issues that are pertinent to the Newark community and K-12 schools. At Denison, faculty from Environmental Studies, Studio Art, and the First Years Programs have already joined forces to exploit Green Revolution’s “hands-on” experiential learning opportunities. Over the coming months, the Museum will be soliciting Denison’s community for proposals to add to a list of potential projects in the Smithsonian exhibition blueprints. Denison faculty, students and staff will vote on a final list of top projects to be on view in Denison Museum and at other campus venues in Spring 2014. Museum staff is also looking for volunteers to assemble the mini-exhibits into Denison’s own edgy, interactive, and unique version of this “eco-zibit.”
