Gallery Talk with co-curator Jay Sanders on "Ann Craven | Painted Time: Moons (Laboratory)"

Please join us as Jay Sanders, Executive Director and Chief Curator of Artists Space, leads a noon-time tour of his curated rotation of "Ann Craven | Painted Time: Moons (Laboratory)" on view at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art through August 17, 2025.

Held concurrently with "Painted Time (2020-2024)" at the Farnsworth Art Museum, "Ann Craven | Painted Time: Moons (Laboratory)" focuses on Ann Craven’s moon paintings, executed from 2020 through 2024. Craven begins by painting the moon plein air and afterwards scales her composition based on her initial observation. Over the course of the exhibition, three curators will collaborate with the artist to execute three distinct presentations of her moon paintings. The exhibition, like the moon itself, will evolve over time, bearing the traces of the moon’s “celestial journey” within the universe of the gallery.

Free and open to the public. No registration required. The tour will begin at noon the Museum’s entryway Pavilion. Presented by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
