- **Event Description**: Curator, artist and special guest present on the exhibition "Ravens: Spirits of the Sky"About this EventCurator Jack Rasmussen and Artist Joan Danziger along with a special guest Ori Soltes, will discuss the exhibition "Ravens: Spirits of the Sky", in a gallery talk scheduled forSaturday, 2:00- 3:00pmAbout the exhibition:Joan Danziger, ArtistJack Rasmussen, CuratorIn Ravens: Spirits of the Sky, Joan Danziger’s sculpture occupies the museum with commanding intensity. Their exaggerated forms, iridescent surfaces, and suspended gestures place them somewhere between realism and abstraction, between sculpture and symbol. These are not the clever birds of natural history, but augurs, tricksters, familiars.Their mythic resonance is heightened by scale and positioning, which invite viewers to encounter them not as static objects, but as enigmatic beings charged with meaning. Danziger offers no fixed narrative. Instead, the Ravens communicate through presence—looming, watching, waiting—compelling us to project our own associations onto their silent forms.To paraphrase Claes Oldenburg, Danziger’s ravens do more than sit on their perch in the museum. They transform it. They inhabit the threshold between the known and the imagined. They defy conventional categories of craft, fine art, or natural history, and instead open a symbolic space where myth, memory, and material collide.Joan Danziger’s work invites us to reimagine the animal world not as a subject to be observed, but as a mirror of our own inner landscapes. Her sculptures do not simply represent; they loom. They haunt, hunt, and hover, suspended between worlds. They call to us not with song but with silence and beckon us to follow.This event will be held in-person at the museum.Please direct any questions about this event to the museum's main contact for this event, Patricia Poku-Speight at ppoku@american.edu.Image: Joan Danziger, Ocean Sky Raven, 2022.

We focus on international art because American University has a global commitment. We show political art because the university is committed to human rights, social justice, and political engagement. We support the artists in our community because the university takes an active and responsible role in the formation of our contemporary art and culture.We present exhibitions that mirror American University’s aspiration to be the premier Washington-based, global university. Our programming puts the best art of our region in a national and international context. Our collections enable us to present the art history of Washington, while our Kunsthalle attitude brings the most provocative art of our time to our place."
