SUMMARY:Exhibition: Unconventional Then\, Now\, and Always: A Helix of FIT Influence from Max Meyer to Daria Dorosh — Opens
DESCRIPTION:August 3–September 10\, 2023\nArt and Design Gallery \nIn the early decades of the 20th century\, FIT founder and president Max Meyer (1876–1953)\, then a buyer for a major New York City cloak and suit manufacturer\, commissioned thousands of drawings of French couture designs to be licensed for production in the U.S. This exhibition juxtaposes a selection of these sublime watercolor and ink images from houses such as Chanel\, Poiret\, Molyneux\, Lanvin\, and Paquin with comparable examples of actual garments from the study collection of FIT’s graduate program in Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice. Each garment showcases student and alumni skills in costume conservation and mounting. \nAn adjoining gallery features the work of alum and former professor Daria Dorosh\, PhD. Her contemporary art and fashion pieces respond to Meyer in many ways\, and also stand on their own. \nUnconventional Then\, Now\, and Always will feature innovative augmented reality displays that invite engagement. The show highlights the unique resource that is Gladys Marcus Library’s Special Collections and College Archives where the original sketches reside along with an astounding wealth of original materials related to the industry. \nThe show is a collaboration between the Spatial Experience Design Department\, Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice\, and the Special Collections and College Archives. \n\nAbout the Art and Design Gallery \nThe Art and Design Gallery brings together FIT students\, faculty\, alumni\, and guest artists in each exhibition. The gallery\, located in the glass-walled lobby of FIT’s Pomerantz Center\, is a window into the college and a window out\, serving as a space to foster learning and innovation. \nThe gallery is open from 9 am to 6 pm daily. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Chasing a Dying River: Ghat 24 Yamuna\, Delhi\, India — Closes
DESCRIPTION:February 5–August 31\, 2023\nGladys Marcus Library\, Fifth Floor \n\nRead an article about this exhibition on FIT’s Newsroom here.  \n\nNew Delhi\, the capital of India\, is ranked as one of the most polluted cities in the world. The city is also home to a passing river\, the Yamuna\, one of the two most sacred rivers in Vedic literature for thousands of years. Besides being the doorway to deep spirituality\, the rivers Yamuna and the Ganges have also played a significant role in modern India’s political history\, religious culture\, and economy. \nAlthough the river originates from the glacier 20\,000 feet above sea level and travels a total length of 855 miles\, these images focus on Ghat 24\, one of the 32 contiguous historic stairways on the Yamuna river in Delhi. These images provide a glimpse of daily life\, including a significant crematorium\, a modern highway\, a cantilevered subway system\, and TikTok creators on this severely polluted river. They also give us a glimpse of human contradictions of deep spirituality and environmental indifference towards a river celebrated since ancient times. Unfortunately\, the mega city is now the primary source of pollution in the river Yamuna. \nArtists\nPraveen K. Chaudhry\, PhD\, is a professor in the Social Sciences and Global Fashion Management departments. Souzeina Mushtaq\, PhD\, is an assistant professor (visiting) of Communication and Media Studies at the School of Journalism at the University of Wisconsin\, River Falls. Together they have been working on multiple projects\, including photographing the nomads and weavers of the Taurus Mountains in Turkey\, the Changtang plateau in Tibet\, Ladakh\, and the Kashmir Valley. While on pandemic lockdown in New York they created a new work\, “New York City: Pandemic\, Resilience\, and Hope.” The pair have exhibited their work several times at FIT\, as well as at galleries in Mexico\, India\, and the United States. They have also shown in various virtual exhibitions. \nCurator\nGabrielle Lauricella is the campus exhibitions coordinator for The Museum at FIT. In addition to curating this work\, she has worked closely with the artists on several of their previous projects. \nGraphic\nNanja Andriananjason\, History of Art\, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences \nThis exhibition is sponsored and supported by the Presidential Scholars Program\, Dean for the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences\, the Department of Social Sciences\, Ethics and Sustainability Minor\, the Department of Global Fashion Management\, and the Office of the International Programs. \nThis exhibition is on view inside the Gladys Marcus Library; you need an FIT ID or visitor pass to access the library.
