Curated by Laura Graveline for the Sherman Art Library, “Grønlandske Snit by Kâle Rosing,” is a collection of linocuts and drawings that utilize striking contrasts between light and dark to create memorable images. Laura selected eight prints that highlight the stark realities of living within the Arctic Circle, and the myths and legends of Rosing’s Greenland. Laura shares that this exhibit is a “perfect choice for winter at Dartmouth, and complements the Arctic Studies collections on campus. Rosing’s depictions of life in the Arctic Circle display a mastery of light and shadow, capturing your eye. They celebrate the beauty of the Arctic and the culture of the indigenous peoples.”

As one visitor to Moosilauke wrote, “I have beheld the Mountain on all sides.” Before and since, generations of naturalists, hikers, and Dartmouth students have beheld Moosilauke on all sides, too. Often called “Dartmouth’s mountain,” it is much more than that. Co-curated by librarians Daniel Abosso and Elaina Vitale, “Moosilauke: Many-Sided Mountain,” is an exhibit that invites viewers to discover the magic and history of this quintessentially Dartmouth place. “As subject librarians, we were excited about the opportunity to pair our professional work (research!) with our personal interests (hiking in the White Mountains) on one of our favorite mountains,” says Elaina. Daniel shares that this exhibit intends for “visitors to understand Moosilauke's importance to Dartmouth and how it inspires connection, reflection, and appreciation of nature.” Find out for yourself. See it on display in the Class of 1965 Gallery at Rauner Library.

Travel has long been a symbol of status, an opportunity for adventure, leisure, self-discovery, and learning, but how often do we consider how we show up in communities and the impact of our presence? Displaying works in the Jones Media Center created by students in COCO 26: What's in Your Toolbox? The Politics of Travel in the Context of Globalization, this multimedia exhibit explores questions of place, travel, and belonging, both in the Upper Valley and abroad.

Throughout his 22 years at the Libraries, Dennis Grady designed and or co-curated an estimated 175 exhibits. His contributions gave space for our colleagues and the Dartmouth community to share their interests and expertise alongside materials from our collections: the ultimate place for knowledge discovery. Dennis writes, “I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of brilliant exhibit curators, including library colleagues, Dartmouth faculty, post-docs, alumni, and members of the wider community.” This showcase, “Showing What We Know,” is Dennis’ opus, featuring panel and poster designs selected from the past 22 years. 

Laura, who worked closely with Dennis, remarked how this retrospective is an especially meaningful exhibit. "Dennis Grady has been the exhibits designer since the start of the Libraries’ exhibits program, and he’s retiring later this month. This 20-year retrospective features not only the wide-ranging exhibit themes, but also the incredible artistry Dennis has brought to the hundreds of exhibits he’s designed.” Presented as a thank-you to those who made the exhibits possible, you’ll find “Showing What We Know” on display in Reiss Hall and in Berry Library.
