    Two Current Exhibitions To End Soon

    The following current exhibitions at The Benton Museum will end on December 18, 2022.  Come now and enjoy them!

    Ray Guns, Dames, and the Guilty Gaze:  Feminism and the Golden Age of Science Fiction Pulps
    The availability of cheap and easy printing on pulp paper in the U.S. during the second quarter of the twentieth century spawned multiple magazine publications known as “pulps,” giving birth to new genres of speculative fiction, many featuring sex and violence.  This exhibition turns a feminist lens on the golden age of pulp fiction magazines to question the production and consumption of gender, race, and dis/ability through this wildly popular medium.

    2022 Digital Media and Design Faculty Exhibition
    This annual exhibition features new work by the artists and designers who teach in UConn’s Digital Media & Design department, School of Fine Arts. The variety of media featured reflects the diverse academic concentrations offered by the department, including Motion Design & Animation, Web/Interactive Media Design, Game Design, and Digital Film/ Video Production.
