Abstract
Over seven weeks in fall 2017, students delved into the campus art-storage
space known as '""the vault." They researched objects familiar and unknown,
seeking narrative strains connecting artworks to the college and to each ot her.
The resulting exhibition is the first of college art holdings curated by a
Bennington class. It reveals and honors the eclectic nature of a collection
that, known for mid-century abstraction, also contains surprises from within
and beyond that art-historical moment. More broadly, "Unpacking the Vault"
identifies core themes and agents in the making, distribution, and acquisition
of art.
