Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q.

Each session features a work of art or object that is new to view—whether a recent acquisition or a work newly installed in the galleries. \nThe program begins in the E ducation Room at our Downtown Campus with a brief introduction and visual context before moving into the galleries for an extended exploration of th e featured work. Guided by observation\, curiosity\, and conversation\, pa rticipants are encouraged to share ideas\, consider different perspectives \, and discover new connections together. \nThis week for Artful Conversat ions \nIn 2025\, CAM acquired two 2023 photographs by Matika Wilbur as par t of the Museum’s Native Initiatives\, a project that culminated in a la ndmark exhibition of Wilbur’s work at the CAM Green. Wilbur’s work res hapes how Indigenous Peoples are represented across the United States\, ce ntering contemporary Native identity and celebrating the vibrancy of Indig enous culture today. \nPlease join CAM docent Maggie Rosa for an engaging conversation as she reflects on what these photographs reveal—about the photographer\, about the individuals portrayed\, and about the evolving st ories they invite us to understand more deeply. \nBorn and raised in Engla nd\, Maggie Rosa moved to the Chicago in 1968 to work as a research techni cian at the University of Chicago. During her eight years in Chicago\, she married Joe and obtained her PhD. The two of them did post-doctoral resea rch at Yale and then moved to Cambridge to join the nascent biotech world. They eventually built a weekend home in Gloucester. In 2001 they “saw t he light” and moved here permanently to participate in this great commun ity. Maggie is an active volunteer in local organizations\, most recently the City Hall Restoration Commission\, Gloucester Education Foundation\, C ape Ann Museum\, and Generous Gardeners. As a Cape Ann Museum docent\, she serves as an ambassador for Gloucester by introducing visitors\, especial ly cruise ship visitors\, to Cape Ann’s history and culture. CAM’s Fre snel lighthouse lens is her favorite piece in the Museum because it exempl ifies how science\, technology and art were combined to address an urgent need in maritime safety.

Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q.

Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q.

Shadows and Light charts a world of dualitie s: dream and reality\, modernism and tradition\, music and silence\, myste ry and revelation. Together\, these works offer a counterpart and counterp oint to the sun-drenched landscapes of contemporary neo-impressionism\, as serting a distinct and rival presence in Belgium.\n\nNew research illumina tes the complex world of Belgian artists at the vanguard of the internatio nal symbolist movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centurie s—a pivotal moment in the development of modern art. Composed of ten “ movements\,” the exhibition unfolds in the galleries as a visual symphon y with artists engaging with vital issues of modern life\, including quest ions of faith\, social justice\, historical identity\, and psychological a nalysis. Building on the historic tradition of Belgian and Flemish art\, t he exhibition demonstrates how these artists’ works are innovative in st yle and personal vision\, significantly expanding the language of art.\n\n Belgian artists represented include: Cécile Cauterman\, William Degouve d e Nuncques\, Léon Frederic\, Fernand Khnopff\, Georges Le Brun\, Xavier M ellery\, Constantin Meunier\, George Minne\, Armand Rassenfosse\, and Léo n Spilliaert. With forty-six works by Spilliaert\, the exhibition seeks to introduce North American audiences to one of Belgium’s most enigmatic a nd celebrated artists. Paintings by Gustave Moreau\, Dante Gabriel Rossett i\, František Kupka\, and Koloman Moser\, as well as works from the McMul len Museum’s collection\, elucidate the rich context of international sy mbolist art\, in which Belgians played a leading role.\n\nShadows and Ligh t is accompanied by a catalogue\, edited by Jeffery Howe\, with contributi ons from American and Belgian scholars Anne Adriaens-Pannier\, Claude Cern uschi\, Edouard Derom\, Alison Hokanson\, Howe\, and Oliver Wunsch\, provi ding contextual background to the time period and the Belgian avant-garde and offering fresh examinations of Fernand Khnopff\, George Minne\, and L éon Spilliaert.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Shadows and Light h as been curated by Jeffery Howe and is underwritten by Boston College with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum and Mary Ann ’67 and Vincent Q.

Conceived as a collective project dedicated to artist ic creation\, scientific research\, and dialogue\, the Triennial explores the role of art in addressing the most pressing issues of our time through exhibitions\, commissions\, publications and public programmes. \n\nEmpat hy and human relationships inspired this first edition of the Triennial wh ich\, as Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça states in his introductory speech\, can legitimately present itself as a school of empathy\, because it deepens transversally that same perceptive and affective capacity which we are called to exercise in the concrete relationships of academic and s ocial life. The very international architecture of the project is already\ , in itself\, an exercise in institutional empathy\, an invitation to inha bit a shared listening to goodness\, truth\, and beauty. \n\nTaking place throughout 2026–2027\, with its opening in Rio de Janeiro on August 27\, 2026\, and its conclusion in Venice\, the Triennial is structured into se ven chapters conceived as “Exercises in Empathy”. The Boston College c hapter is co-curated by Sheila Gallagher and organzied through the Office of Global Engagement and the Office of the Provost.
