Wandering Eye: The View of Bennington Jamie Franklin
This week’s installment of the
Eye is guest-edited by our friend, Bennington Museum curator Jamie Franklin. The Green Mountains of Vermont are home to far more than craft breweries, brilliant blankets of color in autumn, and the finest skiing on the East Coast. Vermont is rich in history and artistic culture. Allow Mr. Franklin to guide you through some of the exhibitions and permanent works in the collection of the Bennington Museum, where he has been in his post since 2005. His passion for American art has led him to present shows dedicated to Rockwell Kent, Grandma Moses, Milton Avery, Alice Neel, and many others. For a little more background on Jamie, check out this “tour” of his tremendous collection of self taught art. Enjoy!

Board members will be asked to rule on whether Nick Caveâs artwork, âTruth Be Told,â is a sign and, therefore, subject to local code, which limits and sometimes prohibits banners, billboards and signs. âTruth Be Toldâ was installed Oct. 31 and is scheduled to be on display in Kinderhook through Sunday.
âTruth Be Told,â spelled out in 21-foot-high black graphic film letters that stretch 160 feet across the brick façade of The School â itâs a cultural center owned by New York City gallerist Jack Shainman â was created by Cave and design partner Bob Faust as âa pointed antidote to a presidency known for propaganda that disguises truth and history to present racist an
