Spanning sculpture\, painting\, photography\, and printmaking\, the exhibition considers inhabitation not simply as dwelling in a place\, but as an ongoing exchange between body and environment. \nAcross media bodies emerge from\, dissolve into\, or confront their surroundings\, suggesting that identity is shaped as much by terrain as by memory. The landscape in Inhabit is not a passive backdrop. It is charged with history\, labor\, desire\, and change. Fields\, forests\, streets\, and constructed spaces become sites of belonging and displacement\, resilience\, and fragility. \nBy placing depictions of people and landscapes in conversation across materials\, the exhibition foregrounds the reciprocal nature of inhabitation. The works invite reflection on our own embeddedness within social\, ecological\, and built systems\, reminding us that to inhabit is both to shape and to be shaped. \nInstallation shot of "Inhabit" Installation shot of "Inhabit" Installation shot of "Inhabit" Amy Meissner\, "Milk on the Tongue"\, 2022; Vintage crocheted potholders\, embroideries\, abandoned crazy quilts\, glass and plastic craft beads\, swarovski crystals; Museum purchase.Amy Meissner\, "Milk on the Tongue"\, 2022; Vintage crocheted potholders\, embroideries\, abandoned crazy quilts\, glass and plastic craft beads\, swarovski crystals; Museum purchase.

In Elemental\, the Daum Museum provides a dynamic resource for learners and makers of all ages. Drawing from the diverse works within the Daum Museum collection\, this exhibition explores the foundational principles and elements of design as both tools of artistic practice and keys to visual literacy.\n\nWhether you are a student encountering artistic concepts for the first time or an experienced artist refining your voice\, this exhibition invites you to deepen your understanding of how visual language works. Each work on view demonstrates how artists harness design fundamentals to communicate ideas\, evoke emotion\, and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. By unpacking the building blocks of composition and form\, Elemental encourages you to see with intention\, create with confidence\, and express your unique perspective.\n\nAt a time when visual imagery permeates daily life\, this exhibition offers an opportunity to slow down\, look closely\, and think critically about how visual choices shape meaning. We hope these works inspire you to experiment boldly\, make connections between thinking and making\, and discover new ways to tell your story.\n\n\n"Elemental" installation shot.

Grounded in a region defined by labor\, agriculture\, industry\, and migration\, the works in this exhibition use printmaking to reflect on how place informs identity and lived experience.\nPrintmaking’s core qualities of reproduction\, layering\, and circulation serve as powerful tools for examining regional narratives that are often overlooked or fragmented. Through traditional\, digital\, and hybrid processes\, the artists engage with cultural memory\, vernacular imagery\, and personal histories tied to specific geographies. Repetition and variation echo the rhythms of the region itself\, where patterns of land use\, social structures\, and storytelling recur across time and state lines.\n\nTogether\, the works in c9 assert printmaking as a connective practice that bridges rural and urban experiences\, past and present\, and individual and collective histories. The exhibition highlights how contemporary printmakers rooted in this region expand the medium while giving form to the complex\, evolving identity of the Midwest and its surrounding states.\n\n\n\n\n"c9" installation shot.

There will be no live reading on November 19!  \nIn collaboration with the SFCC Creative Writing Club\, the Daum Museum is hosting a writing event in the Freed Gallery\, inspired by the art of The Patrons: Unreliable Narrator. \nWe are seeking original pieces of ekphrastic poetry or short character vignettes (no longer than 500 words) based on the exhibition which features the artwork of Bryce Holt\, who creates story-driven pop surrealism. Holt writes in his artist statement\, “Each painting is an invitation to explore\, to bring out each person’s internal storyteller through vibrant hues and unexpected juxtapositions… I encourage viewers to embrace their own interpretations and to allow their imaginations to travel wherever the art may lead them.” \nEkphrastic poetry focuses on vivid description and themes of a piece of art. John Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn is a famous example of an ekphrastic poem. \nCharacter vignettes focus on vividly capturing a small moment or brief glimpse of a character’s experience in their everyday lives. Description and perspective\, rather than plot\, drive a vignette.

Arthur Gonzalez\, "Sprout"\, 2000\, glazed earthenware \nThis exhibition considers growth and decay as interdependent forces within a cyclical continuum. Decay\, often regarded as an endpoint\, is instead a generative process through which matter is transformed rather than extinguished. Organic life decomposes\, metals corrode\, and materials undergo transformation\, underscoring the fundamental condition of existence.\nArthur González’s Sprout exemplifies this principle by staging renewal through the proliferation of mold and mushrooms\, which are agents that return matter to the earth and make possible new beginnings. Gretchen Scharnagl’s Eight Crow Reliquaries reframes the remnants of natural decay as objects of preservation and contemplation\, embedding animal bones within reliquary forms that invite reverence rather than aversion. Together\, these works highlight decay as a site of endurance and adaptation\, where the boundaries between ending and beginning collapse into ongoing transformation.\n\nThis exhibition was curated in collaboration with Daum Museum intern Lauren Wagner\, a Mizzou ceramics student\, with Museum Director Garry Holstein.

The work takes Alaskan imagery and abstractly layers it in a way that references memory. As my place of origin\, it captures a kind of playful magic that I connect with Alaska. When I was a child\, my dad gave me a film camera\, and I took as many photographs of the landscape as I could. Upon rediscovering this childhood archive in albums and bags\, I started to collage the photos with more recent images\, making a constructed landscape. In my oil paintings\, these landscapes are manipulated and layered to give the instantaneous impression of a place that can only exist in memory. The shape of the panels references a portal that leads to these memories. \nConversely\, the mixed media paper artworks are a practice in deconstruction. First\, I zoom in on a detail in an oil painting from this series and recreate it on a large sheet of watercolor paper. Next\, I cut it into shapes like mountains\, glaciers\, and fish nets\, elements of the Alaskan landscape. This act of creating and destroying a painting in order to make something new allows space for pure play; it is a kind of call and response that is reminiscent of childhood games. Finally\, I layer the paper to distort perception. For example\, what looks like a shadow is usually on the top layer while what should be positive space is below the surface. The process of making this work parallels my glance back at childhood and its inseparable connection to the Alaskan landscape. By manipulating shapes from the place that I love\, the series evokes a Panglossian nostalgia.” -Lindsey Dunnagan \n– \nAbout the artist: \nLindsey uses diverse techniques to explore human interaction with the natural environment. Her artwork connects humanity to nature in small ways and large. At the intimate level\, she tells stories of home and identity. On a larger scale\, she considers our spiritual ties to nature. Her work is an investigation of micro and macro personal connections and a reminder of the space we traverse. Lindsey is a three-time Hunting Art Prize Finalist and has shown nationally in solo and juried exhibitions. Her work was published in the 120 West edition of New American Paintings. Lindsey was born in Anchorage\, Alaska and eventually moved to Texas where she earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design in Architecture from Texas A&M in 2007. After college\, she worked as an architectural intern before deciding to join the US Peace Corps. From 2007 – 2009\, Lindsey worked with artisans as a Small Business Development Volunteer in Morocco. In 2014 Lindsey completed a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing and in 2015 she finished a Master of Arts in Art History from Texas Woman’s University. Lindsey is an Associate Professor of Art and runs the painting department at Truman State University in Kirksville\, Missouri. \nFor more information about Lindsey Dunnagan and her work\, visit her website: https://www.lindseydunnagan.com/. \nLindsey Dunnagan\, "Clear escape"\, 2023; oil on panel.

Their work fosters a community where artists can thrive through mentorship\, shared knowledge\, and reciprocal exchange. Their approach helps to cultivate new spaces for artistic innovation while nurturing the next generation of voices in the art world. The exhibition will feature the work of Bryce Holt\, whose story-driven pop surrealism is described in his artist statement below. \n“My art is driven by narrative. Before a single brushstroke touches canvas\, a story begins to unfold in my mind. As a self-taught\, figurative artist\, I blend the color and energy of pop art with the dreamlike qualities of surrealism. Each painting is an invitation to explore\, to bring out each person’s internal storyteller through vibrant hues and unexpected juxtapositions. Accompanying each piece is a written narrative\, a glimpse into the world I envisioned as I created the work. However\, I encourage viewers to embrace their own interpretations and to allow their imaginations to travel wherever the art may lead them. My goal is to transport the audience to an alternate world\, spark conversation and contemplation\, and inspire us to embrace the unexpected.” -Bryce Holt \nFor more information on The Patrons\, visit their website: https://www.thepatrons.com/ . \n  \nInstallation view of "Unreliable Narrator".

Installation shot of "Spectrum" \nSpectrum explores color as both a connective force and a human language. Drawing from the Daum collection\, this exhibition brings together contemporary works that illuminate how color shapes not only what we see\, but also how we relate to space\, to one another\, and ourselves. \nHere\, color is not merely a visual experience\, but a relational one. The vibrant\, saturated fields and delicately modulated hues on view demonstrate how colors interact. They sometimes clash\, harmonize\, amplify\, or dissolve into each other\, mirroring how human beings connect\, contrast\, and coexist. As such\, each artwork in Spectrum becomes a site where color relationships reflect emotional\, cultural\, and personal dynamics. \nThe artists in this exhibition use color to tell stories\, hold memories\, and express identities. In their hands\, color becomes a medium of empathy and understanding and a shared visual vocabulary through which inner worlds become visible. Whether bold or restrained\, abstract or representational\, each piece offers a glimpse into the artist’s lived experience\, inviting viewers to find echoes of their own. \nSpectrum celebrates the power of color to bridge differences\, elicit emotions\, and forge meaning. It is a reminder that color\, like human connection\, is never static or singular. Instead\, it is a relationship that is always shifting\, responding\, and reshaping as it encounters new contexts and new perspectives. We invite you to experience this dynamic interplay and to see\, in color\, the rich spectrum of human relationships it reflects. \n  \n  URL:https://www.daummuseum.org/event/spectrum/ CATEGORIES:Community Activity,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.daummuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/A_R_2017.03-a-c_JPG-scaled-e1748635756387.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250621 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251217 DTSTAMP:20261023T152101 CREATED:20250515T185211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250714T184344Z UID:8463-1750464000-1765929599@www.daummuseum.org SUMMARY:Bones\, Blooms\, and Biomes DESCRIPTION:Installation shot of "Bones\, Blooms\, and Biomes" Susan Kemenyffy (American\, b. 1941)\, "Cymbidium Series-Study"\, 1994; lithograph on paper.Susan Kemenyffy (American\, b. 1941)\, "Cymbidium Series-Study"\, 1994; lithograph on paper.

Installation shot of "Bones\, Blooms\, and Biomes" \nBones\, Blooms\, and Biomes brings together a selection of works from the Daum’s permanent collection that echo and expand upon themes explored by Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe’s legacy\, often seen through a gendered lens\, is reimagined through the voices of both female and male artists who engage with similar motifs across diverse media\, eras\, and cultural perspectives. From ceramic bones to lush floral forms and expansive landscapes\, these works explore the emotional and symbolic resonance of the natural world\, inviting viewers to reflect on how artists interpret the rhythms of life\, death\, and renewal. \nBones\, Blooms\, and Biomes challenges conventional narratives and broadens the scope of how we speak to the interplay between nature and creativity. The exhibition is meant to offer a rich and layered experience that opens new paths for interpretation and dialogue. The works selected do not seek to mimic O’Keeffe’s style\, but to explore the enduring relevance of her thematic concerns. The selected works demonstrate how artists from a rich array of backgrounds have grappled with the same elemental forces. Their renderings of plants\, bones\, and terrains serve not just as subjects\, but as symbols of identity\, memory\, and transformation.

From traditional to experimental methods\, these works reflect the diverse possibilities of the printmaking process as an evolving art form. Each piece serves as a unique dialogue between artist\, technique\, and material\, offering insights into the contemporary world while pushing the boundaries of traditional print media. \nAs we celebrate these exceptional works\, we are reminded of the importance of expanding our collection space. This show was born from a need to adjust the arrangement of our collection storage to better accommodate our existing collection. The need to grow and diversify the collection is essential for preserving the rich history and future trajectory of printmaking. By enriching our holdings with new acquisitions\, we ensure that future generations will be able to engage with the ever-evolving language of contemporary art. This exhibition is a powerful testament to the continued relevance of printmaking\, and it underscores the critical need for sustained support to grow and expand the museum’s collection space\, enabling us to preserve\, display\, and inspire with even greater depth and diversity. \nWe invite you to explore the works on display\, reflect on their enduring impact\, and join us in the collective effort to shape a lasting legacy for contemporary printmaking. \n"Melior" installation photo."Melior" installation photo.

The works on display delve into the dual forces that shape our existence—the inherent order that seeks stability\, clarity\, and control\, juxtaposed with the chaotic\, unpredictable energy that disrupts\, redefines\, and challenges the status quo. \nThrough various mediums and techniques\, the artists reflect on how these opposing forces shape both the external world and our internal landscapes. The exhibition speaks to the moments where chaos and order converge\, pushing and pulling against each other\, creating a tension that we navigate daily in our personal and collective lives. Some works embrace the flux and freedom of unrestrained experimentation\, while others impose rigid lines\, patterns\, and forms that anchor the viewer’s perception\, offering a sense of security amidst the storm. \nThis exhibition asks us to reflect on the complexity of balance. How does order manifest amid uncertainty? Can chaos ever find structure\, and does order need to be disrupted to be truly understood? As viewers move through the space\, they are invited to experience the unresolved friction between these forces\, and perhaps\, to find their own place within this shifting continuum. \nThis exhibition was curated in collaboration with SFCC student Brooklyn Correa as a part of a special problems exhibition course with Museum Director Garry Holstein. Brooklyn J. Correa grew up in the small town of Centerview\, MO. She will graduate in May with her Associate of Arts from SFCC in Sedalia\, MO. She currently works at the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art as a museum attendant. She will transfer to Mizzou in the fall of 2025\, pursuing a degree in English\, with minors in Creative Writing and Art History. Her inspiration for this museum show stemmed from her love of art and the creative aspect that allows both artists and writers to connect. \nConstructed Chaos installation photo Constructed Chaos installation photo Cary Esser\, "Topo 8"\, 2010; Glazed fritware.

DESCRIPTION:We didn’t say banana? People use lighthearted jokes and humor to form emotional bonds with others and these moments of comradery make life more meaningful. Humor in itself is a creative endeavor that makes connections between seemingly contradictory ideas. By focusing on the power of these everyday moments\, we give credence to the idea of the commonality of man. Within the diverse world of human experience\, individual moments—that can be easily overlooked and taken for granted—create memories that shape our existence. In this exhibition\, the chosen artworks were originally linked by a single element—the color orange. As we delved deeper into the process\, new relationships appeared between the works that provided a deeper understanding of how seemingly different styles and media can unite into a singular focus. \nFrom the bold strokes of Sol LeWitt and Robert Motherwell to the subdued hues of Jules Olitski we begin to see the diverse relationships of individual encounters. Focusing on the reactions that these works elicit ground this exhibit in the viewers engagement of each piece. We invite our viewers to experience the intense moments of Irving Kriesberg and Vera Klement\, the fleeting moments of Don Worth and Suda House\, the frenetic energy of Terry Winters and Karen Kunc\, and the soulful stories of Tanya Hartman. Each of these works play with ambiguity. Our lived experiences and individual interpretations influence our understanding of the visual world. This exhibition encourages viewers to embrace and connect with the work in their own way. \nThis exhibition was curated through a collaboration between Daum staff members Marcie Teter and Vicki Weaver\, and Dr. Meghan McClellan of the SFCC Art Department. \nDr. Meghan McClellan is an Art Historian specializing in the art of humor and 19th century photography. She holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Missouri-Columbia (2017)\, with additional degrees including an MA in Art History (2009)\, BA in Art History (2007)\, and AA from Cottey College (2005). As the lead Art History faculty at State Fair Community College since 2018\, McClellan earned nominations for ‘Instructor of the Year’ in 2022 and 2023. Currently\, she is researching the legacy of female artistry in the Midwest. \nMarcie Teter works as the Collections Manager at the Daum Museum and has worked for the museum since 2010. Vicki Weaver is the Curator of Education for the museum and has been with the Daum since its opening in 2002. \nOrange You Glad installation shot Alex Katz\, "Superb Lilies"\, 1972; Lithograph.Alex Katz\, "Superb Lilies"\, 1972; Lithograph.

Upon entering the gallery\, they become an essential part of the piece\, walking through an environment teeming with life. This experience requires them to be present\, actively making sense of the realm they’ve entered.  As such\, my installations allow various interpretations as the works will have different meanings for different people. \nWhen viewing my work\, people are allowed to contemplate their own reality and perhaps escape or re-think their place in the world.  By exploring complexities through animals\, it becomes a safe space to readdress many of our social complexities\, revealing a desire for connection and the risk that comes with it. \nThrough illusions of clouds\, water\, and trees\, the space draws attention to the relationship between the human-made and the natural world\, prompting viewers to consider environmental themes.  The serene\, almost utopian vision of animals peacefully cohabiting can be interpreted as a commentary on environmental harmony and the hope for a balanced coexistence\, aligning with the notion of innovation in response to environmental crisis. \n-Rebekah Bogard \n—– \nRebekah Bogard received her MFA from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2003. She received a BFA from the University of Wyoming in Laramie in 2000. She is currently an Associate Professor in Ceramics at the University of Nevada Reno\, as well as a studio artist. She has received numerous awards including being named an “Emerging Artist” by both the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and Ceramics Monthly Magazine. She has been awarded a residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. In addition\, she is a two-time recipient of the Nevada Fine Arts Council Fellowship\, as well as receiving the “Best of Show” in several national art competitions. Her work has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions nationwide. Moreover\, her work has been reviewed in publications such as Art in America\, LA Times\, Ceramics Monthly Magazine\, Clay Times Magazine\, and Artweek. \nBogard employs fictional animals in her artwork to explore the narrative of her life and personal history\, as they can disarm expectations. She utilizes animals because they are beautiful and mysterious creatures\, vulnerable to relations with humans. This susceptibility gives them a sense of benevolence that is often lacking in human interactions. The fictional creatures juxtaposed with non-fictional animals are there to turn the world upside-down and to leave the viewer off balance. By changing the rules of engagement\, fantasies become realities and dreams become actuality. Concrete gender roles no longer exist. Females can be more like males and males can be more like females. \nAs a female artist\, Bogard is interested in gender and how specific gender roles are assigned to both girls and women. She exploits normative female iconography such as flowers\, butterflies\, and curving sensuous lines as well as “feminine” color combinations such as pinks\, purples and pastel blues. She embraces female sexuality\, vulnerability\, and romance not as the stereotypical taboo\, but as an empowered re-contextualization. Through these creatures\, She embraces\, reclaims and redefines female stereotypes; powerful messages relevant to today’s world. \nwww.RebekahBogard.com URL:https://www.daummuseum.org/event/rebekah-bogard/ CATEGORIES:Community Activity,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.daummuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/thumbnail_IMG_6316-e1727116020792.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240920 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250303 DTSTAMP:20261023T152101 CREATED:20240703T193401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240923T185449Z UID:8221-1726790400-1740959999@www.daummuseum.org SUMMARY:Mantra: Lifespan DESCRIPTION:"Mantra: Lifespan" Installation shot "The Square Collection: Limenitis arthemis"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "The Giant Collection: Heliconius Erato Cyrbia II"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "The Square Collection: Hamadrias amphinome"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "Mantra: Lifespan" Installation shot "Mantra: Lifespan" Installation shot "Nature morte du Papilio Multicaudatus"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "Butterflies of Missouri: Board IV"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "Butterflies of Mexico: Board X"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas"Butterflies of Mexico: Board X"\, 2024; acrylic on canvas "Mantra: Lifespan" Installation shot "Life span study I-IV"\, 2024; carbon on paper "Mantra: Lifespan" Installation shot Youri "Mantra" Cansell in front of the completed lobby mural \nLIFESPAN: ART BORN IN A MOMENT AND IMMORTALIZED IN TIME \nThe image of the elusive butterfly suggests to us the briefest lifespan\, but is it? Through scientific study we know that butterflies naturally enter states of hibernation\, sometimes for several years\, to prolong their own existence. Most of them migrate\, thousands of miles like the Monarch\, looking for a more favorable climate. Yet\, in our coexistence\, human beings impact those life cycles\, threatening the butterfly’s survival to extinction. \nIn this context\, this exhibition asks profound questions about the fragility of life\, and explores what the butterfly’s ability to prolong time in the face of danger can teach us about our relationship with the natural world. By encapsulating the briefest moment in time\, the butterfly becomes simultaneously a field study and an artwork – life as it happens\, yet also immortalized for wonder and contemplation. \n“Inspired by a lifelong curiosity about the living and a quest to observe the full reality of natural moments\, my art is deeply personal and contemplative. I do not seek to give people an interpretation or a representative concept to wrestle with – rather to enter the moment with me and have their own experience. As a painter\, I am crystallizing my scientist’s observations in the field into art. The artistic expression exists to ask how we preserve these fleeting moments in an urban\, post-industrial setting\, and how they question our notion of time.” \n-Youri Cansell \n—– \nBorn in Metz\, France\, in 1987\, Youri Cansell\, internationally recognized as Mantra\, is a consummate artist and naturalist. Equally skilled at depicting both humans and animals\, Mantra exhibits a special fascination with entomology—the world of insects. Drawing inspiration from his childhood garden in France and his adventures around the globe\, he now creates exquisite paintings and murals\, often featuring moths and butterflies\, on canvas and cityscapes. With acute sensitivity to his surroundings\, Mantra works to create organic relationships between his subjects and their environments. His renderings of infinitely varied species are spectacularly beautiful and scientifically accurate to the smallest detail. Significantly\, he frequently represents these creatures on large facades as if they were lifeless specimens showcased in an exhibition case—a poignant commentary on the alarming decline in biodiversity. \nFrom upscale architectural complexes in New York City to rural community projects and prominent institutional buildings in South America\, Mantra’s public art finds its place amidst diverse urban backdrops. His remarkable proficiency in “trompe l’oeil” techniques\, paired with his passion for nature and human experience\, not only enlivens cities across the world but also draws attention to critical global concerns such as climate change and the urgent need to raise awareness of and preserve natural ecosystems. When he is not immersed in artwork at his studios in Mexico City\, Mantra engages in explorations and collaborates with researchers in the field of entomology worldwide. \nhttp://www.mantrarea.com/ \n—– \nThis exhibition is curated by Justkids. \nJustkids is an award-winning art consulting firm specializing in design\, curatorial\, and production services for creative place making and public art.

Three works from each artist have been selected to highlight variation while providing consistency. Explorations of form and color intersect with investigations of subject matter to offer a vivid manifestation of the power of clay to communicate abstract and concrete meaning.  This relationship is effective within the pieces of the individual and between the artists because the work shares a common materiality.
