  • Binh Danh: Collecting Memories Has Been Supported by the Joan Danforth Art Museum Endowment
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: July 20, 2010 Lori Chinn Mills College Art Museum Program Manager 510.430.3340 or [email protected] Abby Lebbert Mills College Art Museum Publicity Assistant 510.430.2164 or [email protected] Mills College Art Museum Announces Exhibition of New Work by Bay Area Artist Binh Danh Oakland, CA—July 20, 2010. The Mills College Art Museum is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Bay Area artist Binh Danh entitled, Collecting Memories, featuring daguerreotypes, chlorophyll prints, photographs, and historical artifacts, which capture past and present memories of the American-Vietnam War. Collecting Memories is co-curated by Lori Chinn and Stephanie Hanor and will be on view from August 21 through December 12, 2010. An opening reception with the artist will take place on August 25 from 5:30–7:30 pm. Binh Danh collects photographs and other remnants of the American-Vietnam War and reprocesses and represents them in ways that bring new light to a complicated, multivalent history. Danh is known for his unique chlorophyll printing process in which he takes found portraits of war casualties and anonymous soldiers and transfers them onto leaves and grasses through the process of photosynthesis. While Danh left Vietnam with his family at a young age, return trips to the country have profoundly influenced the development of his work. Danh’s recent work uses a combination of found images from the American-Vietnam War and photographs taken by the artist on recent visits to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. “History is not something in the past.

Yes, researchers tell us that less than 5% of high school-aged women will even consider applying to women’s colleges, but we wrote this for all young women who are thoughtfully analyzing ALL of their college options. We also wrote this guide to help arm high school guidance counselors, independent college counselors, and community-based college advisors with valid, interesting, and perhaps even funny information about women’s colleges they can share with their students. So, if you’re a high school student reading this guide, our goal is to provide you with an alternative viewpoint on your college search, one that you may not have previously thought about.

This topic required that I venture beyond the resources offered by Barnard and Columbia, and brought me to the libraries and archives of both Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. I would therefore like to acknowledge and extend my thanks to the archivists and special collections librarians Donald Glassman at Barnard, Nancy Young at Smith, and Dean Rogers at Vassar. They all provided invaluable support, guidance, and research assistance during my visits and via e-mail. Finally, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Rosalind Rosenberg. The research and writing advice she gave, along with her enthusiasm and encouragement made this process both educational and exciting.
