What’s inside the Bruce? An ever-changing mix of art, science, natural history, and fascinating works:

A. Dustin Yellin’s Politics of Eternity is a monumental installation composed of thousands of layers of resin, creating intricate figures and worlds suspended inside glass.

B. This mineral is one of more than 150 specimens on view in the Robert R. Wiener Mineral Gallery, showcasing the remarkable variety of minerals found around the world.

C. J. Henry Fair’s A Great Breach in Nature features aerial photographs that document landscapes transformed by industrial activity.

D. Rohini Devasher’s One Hundred Thousand Suns draws on more than a century of solar observations from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory in India, translating scientific records of the Sun into a monumental four-channel video installation.

COMING SOON

E. John Singer Sargent’s Mrs. Charles Thursby

F. Raphaelle Peale’s Still Life with Watermelon and Fruit, 1822

What happens when some of the most recognizable names in American art end up in the same gallery?

“American Stories from Sargent to O’Keeffe: A Partnership with The Newark Museum of Art” looks across generations, movements, and very different ideas of what American art can be. See what happens when these artists are considered side by side.

Opens October 15 at the Bruce Museum.

Dustin Yellin builds entire worlds inside glass.

Yellin will discuss the monumental sculptures and related works featured in the exhibition, as well as Pioneer Works, the multidisciplinary cultural center he founded in Brooklyn that brings artists and scientists together through research, education, and public programming.

The evening offers a chance to go deeper into “Politics of Eternity” with the artist himself, including a look at “Goodnight, Lamby,” the short film featured in the exhibition, followed by an audience Q&A.

Thursday, October 8
5:30–7:30pm
Talk begins at 6:15pm

“Dustin Yellin: Politics of Eternity” is organized by the American Federation of Arts and curated by AFA Curator Katharine J. Wright, PhD. The presentation at the Bruce Museum is organized by Jordan Hillman, PhD, Assistant Curator of Art.
