Unseen Neighbors: Community, History & Collage
Artists in the Archives at the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History in Middlebury, Vermont, USA through 26 August 2023.
Under the curatorial direction of Kolaj Institute Director Ric Kasini Kadour and with the support of Stewart-Swift Research Center Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart and Henry Sheldon Museum Collections Associate Taylor Rossini, the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History in Middlebury, Vermont, engaged with twenty-three artists from seven countries to make twenty-four collage prints referencing history material in the museum’s Stewart-Swift Research Center archives. The prints are for sale as a Collector’s Folio and the subject of a book, Artists in the Archives, published by Kolaj Institute.

In its second showing, “Unseen Neighbors: Community, History & Collage” puts additional focus on previously absent populations from our archival records. In addition to the complete folio of collage prints, three collages–Todd Bartel’s A Group of Nations Claiming Unity of Purpose or Common Interests, Jeanna Penn’s A Fly in the Buttermilk, and Young Shin’s untitled (China Hall)–will be shown in their original analog format and enhanced with displays of recently discovered and acquired materials highlighting the presence of Native American, African American, and Asian peoples in the Middlebury area.
