Spring 2024 Exhibitions

Never Spoken Again: Rogue Stories of Science and Collections

Never Spoken Again: Rogue Stories of Science and Collections
February 6 - May 18, 2024

Curated by David Ayala-Alfonso, Never Spoken Again: Rogue Stories of Science and Collections is a traveling exhibition that reflects on the birth of modern collections, the art institutions that sustain them, and their contingent origin stories to reveal a universe of erasures, violence, and fortuity. Considering how institutional collections organize our lives, Never Spoken Again brings together artists whose works open up a critique of material culture, iconography, and political ecologies.

Focusing on portrayals of Vermont and New England, Land Marks: Paintings of Human-Altered Landscapes brings together fifteen works, spanning roughly 1800 to the late 1900s. These paintings and a mirror, with a reverse painting on glass, infuse the Fleming’s Marble Court Balcony with color and with imagery that registers human interactions with the land.

Collections Gallery: Evolving Museum Practice and Experience

Collections Gallery: Evolving Museum Practice and Experience
Ongoing

The small but mighty Fleming team–composed of staff and interns–has made significant changes to the Museum’s Collections Gallery. These changes include improvements to the physical space of the galleries, and a complete reinstallation of art objects drawn from across the Fleming’s collections. Both of which aim to make the Collections Gallery a more welcoming and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.
