This summer, the º£½ÇÖ±²¥ College Museum of Art will present East-Northeast: Charting Moments in Maine: four new exhibitions featuring artists who drew inspiration from Maine. Gordon Parks: Herklas Brown and Maine, 1944 presents a series of photographs created before Parks famously joined the staff of Life magazine. These works provide glimpses of rural life by a photographer predominantly known for his urban scenes, many of which have never before been shown publicly. At a time of intense discussion over climate change and its impact on Maine, a new presentation of photographer John McKee’s As Maine Goes looks back at this historical view of the. Maine coast, put on public view for the first time since its original presentation in 1966. Ann Craven | Painted Time: Moons (Laboratory) features a selection of the artist’s lunar paintings from 2020 and 2024. The exhibition provides insight into Craven’s moon “laboratory,” a compilation of her serial renderings of this iconic subject. In its Media Gallery, the Museum will present a series of films by the Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt, whose work is often associated with New York City but who spent much of his time in Maine.
