Spectacle in Antiquity & Beyond

spectacle-bannerSpectacle in Antiquity and Beyond was co-curated by students enrolled in “ARCH 3320: Spectacle in Antiquity & Beyond,” during the 2020 spring term at Bowdoin College, under the direction of Prof. Ambra Spinelli, Classics Department. This online exhibition shares the work of Bowdoin students and faculty who explored the spectacles that attracted large audiences within and beyond the ancient Classical world by engaging with six diverse geographical and chronological settings.

Mike Brown ’20, Ambra Spinelli, Brooke Wrubel ’21, and Benjamin Wu ’18

Winslow Homer: The Man Himself

As Special Projects Intern at BCMA, Sebastian Gilligan-Kim ’19 conducted research and produced this short documentary. The project coincided with the exhibition “Winslow Homer and the Camera: Photography and the Art of Painting” and was inspired by Sebastian’s keen interest in Homer, Homer’s work, and the artist’s famously cantankerous persona. The film comprises Homer related images and artifacts found in the BCMA collection as well as interviews with experts from both the Bowdoin community and the broader community of Homer scholars. It explores such themes as Homer’s artistic trajectory, the context for his creativity, and why artists create.
