Welcome Words \u2013 V\u00e9ronique Plesch, Professor, Colby College<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Wilderness and Culture<\/em>! For the 13th time, two students from Colby College have curated the L.C. Bates Museum summer exhibition and for the third time since the COVID pandemic forced the museum to close in the spring of 2020, this is a virtual exhibition. Although we look forward to having again in-person exhibitions, the virtual format has demonstrated its enormous advantages and we plan on retaining it in the future, along with a physical installation. For now, I hope you enjoy this exhibition and seize the opportunity to peruse the previous two as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caged Lion<\/em> (1976\u201377), Bernard Langlais\u2019s monumental wooden sculpture on the lawn next to the L.C. Bates Museum, perfectly encapsulates the notion of captivity. Taking its cue from the fall 2021 state-wide initiative and the 2021\u201322 Annual Humanities Theme at Colby College on Freedom and Captivity<\/em>, the 2022 L.C. Bates summer exhibition invited artists to reflect upon the meanings that these two concepts hold for the natural world and the ways in which we conceive, represent, and imagine freedom and captivity in nature, considering issues such as wilderness, cultivation, and domestication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
