15 Art Exhibits Worth Exploring This Fall - WBUR

'Staying with the Trouble: Paula Wilson Faith Wilding'
Tufts University Art Galleries

Through Dec. 5

Paula Wilson is an African American mixed media artist who creates work investigating the female identity through the lens of cultural history. Hamilton, an interdisciplinary artist, writer and curator who works at Harvard's Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, creates an installation entitled "The End of Susan, The End of Everything," composed of possessions Hamilton inherited from her friend and mentor Susan Denker, a faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, who passed in 2016. While the artist's works are vibrant, glittering and fun, they speak to more than just surface decoration as he uses visual mythology, folktales and Mexican craft to create magnetically pulsating figures that speak to the transformational possibilities of personal adornment.

Josef Albers 'Formulation: Articulation'
Boston University Art Galleries, Stone Gallery

Oct. 1-Dec. 12

Josef Albers was an iconic Bauhaus artist who believed that an artist must master the fundamental disciplines before setting off on the path of individuality. "The work reframes the work of modernism around the shape that made it possible." Running concurrently with Josef Albers' "Formulation: Articulation," Locke's series both celebrates and subverts Albers' legendary "Homage to the Square" series, providing an entirely new context in which to consider iconic and familiar works.

'Radical Returns'
Boston University Art Galleries, Stone Gallery

Nov. 8-Dec. 12

Drawing its inspiration from the Chinese character "Hui," which means to return or circle back, the exhibit considers why a person might return to something, someone or somewhere.
