Annual Juried Student Exhibition – in the main gallery
Guest juror: Barry Anderson

To start the year, we’re bringing back the exhibitions that were scheduled to open in March. Come view some of the best recent Truman student artwork, juried in Spring 2020 by Barry Anderson, Professor of Art at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

The Janus Restraint – Barry Anderson – in the cube

New media artist Barry Anderson’s project The Janus Restraint, which he has been exhibiting and developing since 2012, explores the connections between adolescent identity and the natural world. Each installation of The Janus Restraint involves a different selection of objects and videos, that provide a unique view of the project.

Beneath White Tents – in the Charlyn Gallery

Beneath White Tents explores the late nineteenth and early twentieth century history of the circus through a group of objects selected and researched by Truman State University students from Pickler Memorial Library Special Collections. A digital version of this exhibition is also available here.
