SUMMARY:Take me\, take me\, take me . . . to the Palace of Love at Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:Rina Banerjee’s suspended installation reimagines the iconic form of the Taj Mahal through contemporary materials and perspective. Rather than marble and permanence\, Banerjee constructs her palace from a steel and copper frame wrapped in translucent pink cellophane\, challenging assumptions about luxury\, history\, and cultural legacy. Floating above the ground\, the tentlike structure encloses objects that reference colonial histories\, including an antique Anglo-Indian Bombay chair and a chandelier assembled from foam\, plastic beads\, synthetic elements\, and artificial birds. The work reflects Banerjee’s distinctive practice of combining found objects with consumer materials gathered from markets near her New York home. \nBanerjee\, who received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1995\, sees this work return to New Haven for its first display at the museum since its acquisition in 2023. The installation is on view from February 7 through July 26\, 2026\, at the Yale Center for British Art\, 1080 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, CT. The museum is open Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:Rochambeau Monument Dedication at Meadowview Park
DESCRIPTION:The Middlebury Historical Society will commemorate a significant chapter in Revolutionary War history with the unveiling and dedication of the Rochambeau Monument on June 27\, 2026\, from 1 pm to 3 pm at Meadowview Park. The event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the French army’s encampment on Breakneck Hill in Middlebury and serves as a tribute to the French soldiers whose contributions helped secure American independence. \nThe new monument honors the 5\,200 troops led by General Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur\, Comte de Rochambeau\, who marched through Connecticut and camped in Middlebury while traveling to and from Yorktown during the Revolutionary War. Their alliance with American forces proved instrumental in the defeat of British forces and the successful conclusion of the war. \nCreated by Prospect sculptor Tony Falcone using the traditional lost-wax bronze casting method\, the seven-foot-tall monument depicts an unnamed French soldier rather than General Rochambeau himself. The design recognizes the thousands of ordinary soldiers whose service and sacrifice contributed to the American cause. The monument will stand as a lasting landmark along the National Washington–Rochambeau Revolutionary Route. \nThe dedication ceremony will feature state and national dignitaries\, representatives from French organizations\, and members of the National Park Service\, highlighting the enduring friendship between France and the United States. Taking place just days before the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration on July 4\, the event offers an opportunity to reflect on the international cooperation that helped shape American history. \nThe ceremony is free and open to the public. Meadowview Park is located at 190 Southford Road\, Middlebury\, CT 06762. For more information\, visit www.middleburyhistoricalsociety.org.
