Andy Yoder: Overboard

Dwight and Helen Carlisle Lobby

In 1990 on its way from the U.S. to South Korea, The Hansa Carrier lost 21 large shipping containers filled with more than 80,000 Nike sneakers and work boots in the Pacific Ocean. “The Great Shoe Spill” propelled marine research in new directions and inspired Andy Yoder to riff off one of pop culture’s most recognizable forms—providing commentary on the stuff we buy and use. The nearly 250 sculptures made of recycled materials from recognizable brands, including Auburn, offer insight into the effects of consumerism and our material world.

Radical Naturalism — Manon Bellet: A swallow does not make a summer

Louise Hauss and David Brent Miller Audubon Gallery

There are visually stunning works of art to see in this second installment of “Radical Naturalism,” but you will also detect notes of magnolia, honey and rich soil. Experimenting with sight and fragrance, guest curator Manon Bellet exhibits her scent sculptures and cyanotypes alongside Museum of Natural History specimens and prints by John James Audubon and Warrington Colescott. Her practice is born from studying and sampling coastal erosion areas, creating an immersive experience to contemplate extinction, risk and loss.

The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection

Organized by The Bernard & Shirley Kinsey Foundation for Arts & Education and KBK Enterprises, Incorporated Bill L. Harbert and Gallery C

The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection celebrates the achievements and contributions of Black Americans from 1595 to the present. Considered one of the most comprehensive surveys of African American history and culture outside the Smithsonian Institution, the exhibition features the shared treasures amassed by Shirley and Bernard Kinsey during their five decades of marriage. The collection includes paintings, sculpture, photography, rare books, letters and manuscripts that offer a well-rounded look at the African American experience and provide new perspectives on the nation’s history and culture.

Spell, Time, Practice, American, Body: The Work of RaMell Ross

Noel and Kathryn Dickinson Wadsworth Gallery and Chi Omega – Hargis Gallery

This solo exhibition explores RaMell Ross’s long-term inquiry into Hale County, Alabama, through photography, video and sculpture. His evolving approach, driven by his connection with residents and the area, focuses on the region, and by extension, the American South. In the artist's words, “I want to make work that unitedly honors its participants, resists their easy consumption and judgment, and quietly asks our imagination and intellect to question the known and easy constructions of identity and place.”
