Art@Bainbridge’s next exhibition, Between Heartlands / Kelly Wang, will open on January 15.       Exhibition Orlando Art on Hulfish Our new downtown gallery, Art on Hulfish, opened this month with the exhibition Orlando. It is curated by Tilda Swinton and inspired by the themes of Virginia Woolf’s revolutionary 1928 novel, Orlando: A Biography, and Sally Potter’s 1992 film adaptation, which featured an androgynous Swinton in the starring role. Woolf’s tale has long held sway over Swinton, who describes it as “about learning to live.” Orlando is organized by Aperture, New York, and on view at Art on Hulfish through January 23. Admission is free; hours and details here.

White works with dozens of faculty members across departments each year to identify works of art that resonate with their curricula and reflect the diversity of the Museum’s collections.
