Transforming Chronologies is a two-part exhibition that approaches the drawings collection from a new direction, presenting works not by date but by specific sequences of forms.
Just as anthropologists see a myth as the summation of all of its many versions, we may say that in art history a form, motif, or theme is the sum of its variations and differences.
Transforming Chronologies is a curatorial application of this concept, suggesting that the meaning of a work of art depends not only on its own internal structures but also on its relationships to other works.
The exhibition explores the possibilities of these interactions by presenting drawings in groupings intended to provoke transformations of meaning, both among themselves and in the way viewers perceive them.
The exhibition will be through April 24, 2006.

In recent years a large number of artists have contributed to a major revival of the etching technique, discovering that its intricate processes and delicate lines are perfectly suited to their personal, introspective approaches to art making.
This exhibition, drawn from the Museum's unparalleled collection of modern and contemporary prints, explores this development and highlights several new acquisitions never before exhibited at the Museum, including projects by such young artists as Marcel Dzama, Dinos and Jake Chapman, and David Shrigley.
The exhibition situates these works within the context of the many artists who have succumbed to the fascination of etching over the last century, by spotlighting important etching projects by selected artists from earlier periods, including Paul Klee, Giorgio Morandi, and David Hockney.
The exhibition will run until April 17, 2006.

A Kansas native born in Topeka, Aaron Douglas (1899-1979) vividly captured the spirit of his time and established a new black aesthetic and utopian vision.
As the foremost visual artist of the Harlem Renaissance, he combined angular cubist rhythms and a seductive art-deco dynamism with traditional African and African American imagery to develop a radically new visual vocabulary that evoked both current realities and hopes for a better future.
His forceful ideas and their distinctive artistic form produced the most powerful legacy of the Harlem Renaissance and had a lasting impact on the history of art.
Aaron Douglas and the Harlem Renaissance will present the first touring retrospective of the work of Douglas.
Traveling to three additional venues throughout 2008, this exhibition will interrogate the boundaries of American modernism in order to assess the seminal but often neglected role of the Harlem Renaissance and one of its most important artists.
It will also assess Douglas's achievements and enduring significance through an investigation of his work in New York and his subsequent teaching legacy at historically black Fisk University in Nashville.
In addition to an accompanying fully illustrated scholarly catalogue, diverse interdisciplinary programs arranged for the Spencer Museum of Art venue
