Eunkang Koh’s Printstallation Invasion combines printmaking, soft sculpture and installation, focusing on social phenomena in our contemporary consumerist society. As lifestyle and thinking processes are ruled by money and capitalism, society’s goals are to become richer and wealthier so that we can consume even more. Consumption, driven by endless desires, triggers an identity crisis. Koh creates animal-human hybrids through which she expresses the absurdity of our world. Her ironic creatures portray a mixture of humor and grotesqueness, reflecting life in our consumerist society.

This exciting exhibition includes work from three contemporary Korean Printmakers: Hyeyoung Shin, Sang-Mi Yoo and Yoonmi Nam, with each artist exploring the printmaking process in a unique and refreshing way.  

This camp is suggested for children in grades 1 - 6. More Information

More than 30 quilts and wall hangings illustrate how Kentucky quiltmakers looked to both the past and to the future for inspiration. In the first part of the 20th century, Americans' interest in their Colonial heritage contributed to a revival in quiltmaking, yet modern trends such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco also brought a contemporary feel to the work of some quilters and pattern designers.  The revival that began around the time of the U.S. Bicentennial also had a dual effect with some quilters choosing traditional methods while others began experimenting with modern fabrics, techniques, and motifs.  This divergence in approaches continued into the 21st century.

These quilts were selected from the Kentucky Museum's nationally significant collection.

This gallery will be closed to the public April 12-14.

In 2004, when the Kentucky Museum began to host the USBank Celebration of the Arts Exhibition, the museum purchased one piece of art to add each year to its permanent collection. As part of the 30^th anniversary of Celebration of the Arts, the museum is displaying the 13 pieces of art acquired since that time. Please be sure to come to the museum to see this special exhibition of work by artists in the region.

The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to offer a photographic and interactive exhibition of photographs that promises to change the way you look at the world.

Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor, is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day.

The people in Byer’s compelling profiles share their hardships, their joys, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained, Byer gives voice to those who would not otherwise be heard.

The exhibit will be available beginning Thursday, Feb. 16, through Friday, April 28.
