Grand
Scale: Monumental Prints in the Age of Durer and Titian A display of about 50 mural-size prints, including works by Botticelli, Durer, and Titian, reflects the expansion of print imagery from the late fifteenth through the early seventeenth centuries.
Passion
Play Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl works the traditional Passion play into different historical contexts spanning four centuries. The three-part production is directed by Mark Wing-Davey.
Benjamin
West and the Venetian Secret In 1796 the president of the Royal Academy of Arts in London fell victim to a remarkable fraud that made him and other prominent British artists the laughingstock of the art world: the supposed discovery of a manuscript describing the materials and techniques used by the Venetian masters. This exhibit brings together paintings, documents, and satires related to the hoax.
Rumi
and the Whirling Dervishes from Turkey At Battell Chapel, the poetry of thirteenth-century mystical poet Rumi will be read in English and Farsi to the accompaniment of classical Turkish music, followed by the 800-year-old Sema ceremony (which represents the spiritual development possible for a human being) performed by Sufi musicians and whirling dervishes.
