黑料不打烊

This Spring the Katz gallery will be transformed into an oasis within the museum, providing a space for contemplation, mindfulness, and relaxation within a peaceful garden of sculpture.  The exhibition will feature a selection of large works from the Figge鈥檚 permanent collection, including sculptures by Marily Davidson, George Rickey, Gene Horvath, and Julius Schmidt.  These works will be accompanied by traditional art historical interpretation as well as mindfulness prompts and activities generated by Iowa City Artist and Art Therapist Dana Keeton and local yoga instructor, Reiki Master, sound healer, and Thai Bodywork practitioner Becky Nakashima Brooke.  Keeton and Brooke will also create a meditative space in the center of the gallery, with floor cushions and soothing music where visitors are encouraged to contemplate the surrounding sculptures and see them through new perspectives.  These new perspectives will be encouraged by the curated activities in the exhibition, including communal journalling, yoga instruction, and meditation prompts.
