until Jun 15 In The Nude as Landscape, the unclothed human figure is explored as it relates to the wider natural world. In what manner do a body's textured folds of skin, muscles, wrinkles and scars call forth associations with elemental manifestations such as rivers, clouds, trees, hills and valleys? In this thought-provoking exhibition, the artists of Fountain House Gallery, working in a variety of mediums and styles, investigate the mystery of the body and its connection with mythical or actual expressions of nature.

until Jul 31 Behind Walls: Photography in Swiss Psychiatric Institutions from 1880 to 1935 poses such sociopolitical questions as: What messages did the medium of photography convey? Are mental illnesses visible in photographs? Were patients asked for their consent?
