SUMMARY:Hieroglyphs to Hype: The Modern Afterlife of Ancient Egypt at Fairfield University Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield University Art Museum will present Hieroglyphs to Hype: The Modern Afterlife of Ancient Egypt from September 18 through December 12\, 2026\, in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries. The exhibition explores the lasting influence of ancient Egyptian art and culture on modern imagination\, design\, and popular culture through paintings\, prints\, photography\, sculpture\, decorative arts\, and contemporary works spanning the early 19th century to today. \nCurated by Museum Registrar Megan Paqua\, the exhibition examines the phenomenon known as “Egyptomania\,” tracing how ancient Egyptian imagery has been interpreted\, misunderstood\, commercialized\, and reimagined across generations. The exhibition includes works ranging from 19th-century paintings and decorative objects to contemporary art addressing identity\, race\, colonialism\, and cultural memory. \nFeatured artists and objects include David Roberts’ 1849 painting The Hypostyle Hall of the Great Temple of Abu Simbel\, Egypt\, Audrey Flack’s Lux Eternal\, and works by Lorraine O’Grady\, Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos\, Sara Sallam\, Jane Hammond\, and Fred Wilson. The exhibition also explores popular themes including Cleopatra\, mummies\, King Tut\, and the influence of ancient Egypt in film\, fashion\, media\, and visual culture. \nLenders to the exhibition include the Yale Center for British Art\, Yale University Art Gallery\, the Wadsworth Atheneum\, the Hood Museum of Art\, artists\, and private collectors. An illustrated exhibition catalogue will be available in the galleries. \nA series of free public programs will accompany the exhibition\, including curator talks\, gallery tours\, lectures\, and family events. Opening events begin on September 17 with a 5:30 pm conversation between curator Megan Paqua and Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo\, followed by a reception at 6:30 pm. Additional programs throughout the fall will explore topics including mummification\, ancient Egypt in video games\, Egyptian antiquities in New York\, and featured works from the exhibition. \nFairfield University Art Museum is located at 200 Barlow Road\, Fairfield\, CT 06824. All exhibition programs are free and open to the public\, though some gallery talks require advance registration due to limited space. \nFor more information and a full schedule of events\, visit the Fairfield University Art Museum website.

SUMMARY:James Welling: Cento at Fairfield University Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Fairfield University Art Museum will present James Welling: Cento from September 25 through December 12\, 2026\, in the Walsh Gallery at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. The exhibition marks the first American museum presentation of this major body of work by renowned contemporary photographer James Welling. \nFeaturing more than 60 photographs focused on the architecture and sculpture of ancient Greece and Rome\, the exhibition explores the intersection of photography\, painting\, printmaking\, and classical art. Welling’s process combines laser-printed photographs on plastic sheets with hand-applied oil paint\, oil sticks\, and powdered pigments\, creating layered works that challenge traditional ideas of photography and visual representation. \nThe title Cento references a form of ancient “found” poetry created through assembled fragments from existing works. Created between 2019 and 2021\, Welling’s photographs combine segments of ancient statuary and architecture with vivid color overlays that invite viewers to consider the lost polychromy of classical sculpture alongside modern reinterpretations of the ancient world. \nThe exhibition also includes works from Welling’s Personae series\, which reimagines ancient portrait busts by incorporating eyes taken from Old Master paintings. Through this process\, the artist seeks to symbolically “reanimate” figures from antiquity for contemporary audiences. \nIn addition to Welling’s photographs\, the exhibition will feature 10 historic plaster casts selected from Fairfield University Art Museum’s collection of more than 100 casts to complement the themes of transformation and reinterpretation found throughout the exhibition. \nJames Welling\, a Connecticut-born artist associated with the influential “Picture Generation\,” has exhibited internationally and is represented by David Zwirner Gallery. His work is included in major museum collections around the world. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a series of free public programs including an opening night lecture with the artist on September 24 at 5:30 pm\, followed by a reception at 6:30 pm. Additional programming includes family art activities\, a symposium on archaeological visual practices\, lectures\, and a December 3 anatomical drawing workshop inspired by the exhibition and the Museum’s plaster cast collection. \nFairfield University Art Museum is located at 1073 North Benson Road\, Fairfield\, CT 06824. All exhibition programs are free and open to the public\, though some events require advance registration due to limited capacity. \nFor more information and a complete schedule of events\, visit the Fairfield University Art Museum website.
