Funded by an Antarctic Artists and Writers Program grant from the National Science Foundation, award-winning photographer Joan Myers spent four months photographing the daily lives of scientists and support staff working at and around the continent's research stations. The result of her work is Wondrous Cold, an exhibition of 50 spectacular photographs and a companion book of the same title. Enhanced by commentary of the scientific and historical significance of her subjects, the exhibition juxtaposes sweeping panoramas of Antarctica's severe beauty with scenes of wildlife, people, and the abandoned huts of legendary explorers.
Wondrous Cold: An Antarctic Journey features photographs by Joan Myers. The exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and made possible through the generous support of Quark Expeditions. |

| Dalí Illustrates Dante's Divine Comedy |
| April 3 - May 23, 2010 - opening reception Saturday, April 3, from 7-9 pm |
| |
In 1957, the Italian Government commissioned Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) to illustrate The Divine Comedy. Written by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) sometime between 1306 and 1321, The Divine Comedy describes Dante's symbolic journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Dalí's paintings were to be reproduced as wood engravings and released as a limited edition print suite in honor of the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth. Upon receiving the commision, Dalí immediately began creating a series of 100 watercolors, each one illustrating a verse from the poem. When the project was announced to the public, Italians were outraged that a Spaniard had been chosen to honor the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth, and the commission was rescinded. Dalí was confident that a publisher could be found. He worked for over nine years to produce one hundred original watercolors. The suite, published in 1964 by Jean Estrade of Les Heured Claires, was considered by Dalí to be one of the most important projects of his career.
Dalí Illustrates Dante's Divine Comedy is organized by the Las Cruces Museum of Art, Las Cruces, New Mexico, and is made possible by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, Kansas City, Missouri.
