The exhibition Imprint: Selected Gifts from Eric Denker ‘75 (June 13 to Sept. 13) celebrates one of The Trout Gallery’s most generous donors: art historian, curator, educator and Dickinson alumnus Eric Denker ’75, Ph.D. Since his graduation from Dickinson 50 years ago, Dr. Denker earned his doctorate from the University of Virginia, worked as a senior lecturer at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and served as the curator of prints and drawings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Over the decades, The Trout Gallery has received nearly 900 objects from Dr. Denker. The breadth of Dr. Denker’s giving reflects not only his own passions as a collector but also the significant imprint he leaves upon the community by fostering a deeper understanding of the arts across time periods and cultures.

Gallery hours: Mon.–Sat. 10–4; closed on major holidays and Dec. 19–Jan. 4.

To Listen Deeply (June 13 to Dec.13), curated by Trout Gallery intern Sophy Nie’25, examines how sound is a key component for diverse works of art. Taking inspiration from American experimental composer Pauline Oliveros’s “deep listening” philosophy, which encourages a heightened awareness of our sonic environment, this exhibition invites viewers to engage with the works of art on multiple sensory levels and to pay attention to perceived visual and acoustic vibrations--in other words, to listen deeply.

Sarah Nance: for evaporated seas

cloud seeds ii, 2025, quilted mylar and vinyl, 8 x 6.5 ft., Jonathan Bagby

Goodyear Gallery, Goodyear Building (Cedar Street entrance), 595 West Louther Street
Gallery hours: Tues.-Fri. 3-5 p.m. and Sat. 2-5 p.m.

Many of the works on display use geologic datasets as scaffolds for the artist’s interaction with media like sheets of mica, knitting patterns and opera. The translation of this observed geologic information into artistic form allows the data to function speculatively and abstractly, envisioning alternative futures.

Sarah Nance is an interdisciplinary artist based in installation and fiber. She explores entanglements of geologic processes and human experience in archived, constructed and speculative terrains. Her time spent living in the geologies of Oregon, Iceland, eastern Canada and the Driftless Area of the Midwest has been significant in the development of her research, much of which continues to be based in these regions. Nance is an assistant professor of integrated practice in the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences at SUNY – Binghamton, New York. She has previously held professorships in interdisciplinary art (SMU, Dallas, Tex.), fibres & material practices (Concordia University, Montréal), and fiber (Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Va.). Her work has been performed and exhibited widely at venues in China, France, Canada, Iceland, South Korea, Germany and Italy, as well as across the U.S.

In collaboration with The Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues, Nance will deliver a public lecture titled Mirages and Archived Landscapes. Nance will discuss her creative practice as a cross-disciplinary investigation of landscape that explores geologic processes and human experience in archived, constructed and speculative terrains. Nance will also speak about a range of related topics, among them her interest in complex visual phenomena that can change our perception of a landscape, such as mirages. You can learn more about this artist at .

Sarah Nance’s exhibition and lecture are co-sponsored by the Department of Art & Art History and the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues.

Gallery hours: Mon.–Sat. 10–4; closed on major holidays and Dec. 19–Jan. 4.

Wendy Red Star (Apsa虂alooke [Crow], b. 1981) is this year’s recipient of the prestigious 天美传媒APP Arts Award, and her artwork is featured in the exhibition Her Dreams Are True on view at The Trout Gallery.

Red Star provides a new perspective on the role of archives, museum collections and personal memory in her prints and photographs. Throughout her career, Red Star has reconsidered and liberated archival photographs and materials from a fixed historical moment. This exhibition provides visitors with an opportunity to see the artist’s recent works, which recontextualize hand-painted illustrations of Indigenous artifacts. Red Star juxtaposes these cultural belongings with her own photographs of the Crow Nation’s annual fair in Montana. More than a meditation on the past, Red Star’s archival work looks to the future and offers a new perspective on rematriation.
