Louise Bourgeois, Mixografia Series

Leech Gallery

In 2023, Dr. Robert Dickens ‘63 donated the complete Mixografia series by Louise Bourgeois (French, b. 1911, d. 2010) as part of his named collections of contemporary works on paper. The Mixografia technique is a unique fine art printing process that produces textured, three-dimensional prints. Bourgeois created the series, titled Crochet I-V, based on her vast body of drawings. With the help of Judith Solodkin of SOLO Impression, New York, Bourgeois used red string as a drawing tool to create a series of linear compositions and a representation of a woman’s braided hair.

Todd Mrozinski, The Sanctity of Everyday Life

Hoffmaster Gallery

An experienced and exacting printmaker, Todd Mrozinski produces highly detailed images of light and shadow as they play over every day domestic settings as a path into presence and peace. Mrozinski will also be a visiting artist with the Paper Fox Printmaking Workshop in tandem with his show; he will produce a print edition with students, one of which will go into the Wriston Art Galleries Collection. Mrozinski teaches etching, drawing, and painting at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.

The Lawrence University Art Collection

Kohler Gallery

This exhibition of works in the Lawrence University Art Collection will remain on view during most of the academic year, from September to May. A new direction for the gallery schedule, this exhibition showcases the breadth and depth of the collection, built from donations by generous alumni and friends of LU, and connects it concretely to curriculum across the university. The exhibition is organized around four themes: Light, More Light!, Displacement, the Unknown, and Empowerment, which have been conceptualized and curated by Val Muzzarelli ‘27 as a LU Research Fellow in summer 2025. Exemplary artworks by well-known historical and contemporary artists will also be on view. The exhibition will change slightly over the course of the year, so be sure to return often to see new objects.
