\n
<\/p>\n
Saratoga Springs, NY (July 28, 2026) \u2014 The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery presents A Feeling of With, a year-long exhibition featuring three interconnected explorations of how people understand themselves in relation to one another and the world.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
On view August 8, 2026, through July 18, 2027, A Feeling of With is organized by Rachel Seligman, Assistant Director for Curatorial Affairs and Malloy Curator, in collaboration with six Skidmore College faculty members from English, dance, art history, environmental studies and sciences, mathematics, and religious studies. Across three galleries, relation becomes both the exhibition\u2019s subject and the structure through which artworks, disciplines, and ways of knowing encounter one another.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Behind, Below, Within<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Behind, Below, Within considers how these three prepositions arrange space, movement, emotion, and experience. Co-curated with English Professor Mark Mayer and Dance Professor Brian Lawson, the exhibition includes works by Sarah Cain, William Kentridge, Mindy Shapero, and William T. Wiley.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Human Nature<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Human Nature examines humanity\u2019s place within\u2014and estrangement from\u2014the natural world, moving between intimate encounters and immense ecological systems. Co-curated with Art History Professor Talia Lieber and Environmental Studies and Sciences Professor Nwasinachi Menkiti, the exhibition includes works by Atong Atem, Wendy Red Star, Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my Toguo, and William Villalongo.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Forms of Things Unknown<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Forms of Things Unknown explores how pattern, numbers, and geometry have been used across cultures to envision the divine and define sacred spaces. Co-curated with Rachel Roe-Dale, Mathematics Professor and Director of the First-Year Experience, and Ryan Richard Overbey, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Asian Studies, the exhibition includes works by Emma Kunz, Vera Moln\u00e1r, Kelly Tapia-Chuning, and Lenore Tawney.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWorks of art are always in relation\u2014to other objects, to the people who make and encounter them, and to the histories and ideas we bring into the gallery,\u201d Seligman said. \u201cDeveloping this project with faculty across six disciplines activates the Tang collection as a space for interdisciplinary inquiry and creates new ways for students and visitors to encounter the artworks and the ideas they carry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
A Feeling of With is the second in a series of three year-long Tang collection exhibitions developed to support interdisciplinary teaching and learning for Skidmore courses and wider public audiences. The initiative began with All These Growing Things, an exploration of becoming and belonging.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Drawing from a collection of more than 18,000 objects, A Feeling of With includes works recently acquired by the Tang as well as objects never before exhibited at the museum. Recent acquisitions include William T. Wiley\u2019s Little Marks on Time\u2026and the Threadbare Equator, Amy Cutler\u2019s Siege, Kelly Tapia-Chuning\u2019s Visions of a Pink Sky, and Porfirio DiDonna\u2019s The Visitation. Earthenware vessels by unrecorded Shipibo-Conibo artists will also be shown for the first time.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
A public opening reception will be held Saturday, October 17; additional details will be announced.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Tang\u2019s galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, from noon to 5 pm, with extended hours until 9 pm Thursday. Admission is free. For more information, visit tang.skidmore.edu or call the Tang Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080.<\/p>\n

About the Tang Teaching Museum<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College is a pioneer of interdisciplinary exploration and learning. A cultural anchor of New York\u2019s Capital Region, the institution\u2019s approach has become a model for university art museums across the country \u2014 with exhibition programs and series that bring together the visual and performing arts with fields of study as disparate as history, astronomy, and physics. The Tang has one of the most rigorous faculty-engagement initiatives in the nation, the Mellon Seminar, and robust publication and touring exhibition initiatives that extend the institution\u2019s reach far beyond its walls. The Tang Teaching Museum\u2019s building, designed by architect Antoine Predock, serves as a visual metaphor for the convergence of ideas and exchange the institution catalyzes. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from noon to 5 pm, with extended hours until 9 pm Thursday. More information at http:\/\/tang.skidmore.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
