WELCOME Welcome to a new year at the Cantor! After more than half a year at the helm of the museum, I am mindful of how all of us here strive to create spaces for joy, respite, and critical thinking for students and the community. Please bring your friends and family to the museum to enjoy our latest exhibitions. The major spring show, Reality Makes Them Dream: American Photography, 1929–1941, continues the series of exhibitions around the generous gift from the Capital Group Foundation of photographs by Ansel Adams, John Gutmann, Helen Levitt, Wright Morris, and Edward Weston. Our Capital Group Foundation Curatorial Fellow for Photography, Josie R. Johnson, PhD, organized this exhibition of imaginative imagery. We are delighted to also present A Change of Scenery: Photographs of Leisure in the Landscape featuring photographs from the collection that examine how we interact with nature and how this informs our collective identity. A young Yu: Mourning Rituals is a captivating performance-based video that is part of the Asian American Art Initiative. The film, set in various locations such as, the Hudson Valley of New York, Hawaii, and the Korean Demilitarized Zone, is an opportunity to engage visually with Korean folklore, ritual, and dance. These two lens-based exhibitions are curated by Maggie Dethloff, PhD, assistant curator of photography and new media. As we head into 2023, I’d like to thank our members and visitors, as well as our dedicated staff and loyal volunteers, for creating an incredible arts community here at the Cantor and at Stanford. —Veronica Roberts, John and Jill Freidenrich Director 4 Photo: Andrew Brodhead
A young Yu: Mourning Rituals—Media art installation Through MAY 7, 2023 Madeleine H. Russell Gallery—105 A young Yu’s work engages with Korean folklore, ritual, and dance, reinterpreting and regenerating it for contemporary, diasporic contexts. Mourning Rituals is a performance-based video reimagining the Korean ssitkimgut ritual, during which the spirits of the deceased are cleansed and guided into the afterlife. We gratefully acknowledge support from the Robert Mondavi Family Fund.

Courtesy of the artist A Change of Scenery: Photographs of Leisure in the Landscape Through JUL. 16, 2023 Ruth Levison Halperin Gallery—211 This exhibition surveys ways of “being” in the landscape, encompassing common activities like sightseeing, recreation, and play, and affective states like joy, intimacy, affinity, and belonging. Featuring approximately 55 American photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries from the Cantor’s collection featuring people in various outdoor public spaces, this single-gallery exhibition considers the importance of access to nature and leisure, what access entails, and how it shapes identity. We gratefully acknowledge support from the Halperin Exhibitions Fund. IMAGE: Robert Frank (American, born in Switzerland, 1924–2019), Couple with Child Sleeping in Woods, c. 1950.
