A Stitch in Time: Imogen at Cornish
The Centennial Exhibition

March 18 to August 14, 2015

This exhibition curated by Bridget Nowlin revisits the partnership of two strong female leaders in the Seattle arts community: photographer Imogen Cunningham and college founder Nellie Cornish. Invited to photograph students and studies in 1935 to celebrate the Cornish School's 21st anniversary, Cunningham created a series of stunning photos, the majority of which are being displayed for the very first time in this Centennial Exhibition. ​Located in the President's Gallery, 7th Floor, of Main Campus Center.

Cunningham in the Northwest
September 8 - October, 22, 2010

Cunningham in the Northwest is a multidisciplinary art exhibition that explores the connections between the groundbreaking work of choreographer Merce Cunningham and his hometown region. The first art exhibition to look at Cunninghamʼs work within the context of the Pacific Northwest, Cunningham in the Northwest celebrates his legacy of collaboration and examines how his relationship to Cornish and the Northwest informed his philosophies and the work he created.

Cunningham in the Northwest is co-curated by Cornish Exhibitions Curator Jess Van Nostrand and Cornish Curator of Visual Resources Bridget Nowlin.

This exhibition was a part of the Merce Cunningham minEvent 2010 – 2011, celebrating Cornish Alumnus Merce Cunningham.

​Outta My Light!: Picturing the Processes of Photography
December 5, 2008 – June 28, 2009

Photography is not one medium; it is a technique with many processes. From photography’s inception with Fox Talbot’s paper negatives and Daguerre’s copper-plate Daguerreotypes, artists have always had a multitude of working methods to choose from to best express their ideas. This exhibition, drawn primarily from the Henry’s Monsen Collection of Photography, will consider a variety of photographic processes including carbon print, cyanotype, salted-paper print from a wet collodion negative, photogravure, and silver gelatin prints from cliché-verre negatives. Works by Hiroshi Sugimoto, Anna Atkins, Imogen Cunningham, Rondel Partridge, and others are featured.

Outta My Light!: Picturing the Processes of Photography is organized for the Henry by guest curator Bridget Nowlin

Featured artists: Hiroshi Sugimoto, Isaac Layman, Henry Holmes Smith, Roger Fenton, Anna Atkins, Imogen Cunningham, Rondal Partridge, William Drooke Harrison, Robert ParkeHarrison, Shana ParkeHarrison, Margaret Bourke-White
