Upcoming show featuring Joomi Chung, Professor of Animation & Drawing

Permeable | The Breath Which Moves Between

Opening Reception | Friday, September 25, 2026, 5:30-7pm

Installation Works by Joomi Chung & Manami Ishimura
Explore and engage with our newest exhibition, featuring two women sculptors whose multimedia works converge for the first time at the Springfield Museum of Art. Formally, their works share a curving calligraphic quality, like liquid ink drawings flowing through air. Conceptually, both artists explore the movement of energy-whether it be a ripple through water, the frenzy of a swarm, the emotional overwhelm of the daily news, or the transfer of energy from decaying soil into a living vine.

Exhibition runs September 25, 2026 - May 9, 2027

Artist talk
Bridgette Bogel: Unsmoothed Lumps
September 10, 5:50pm Art 100

In Bogle’s work, pillows serve as metaphors for motherhood, the maternal body, and family life. She constructs these pieces from materials with domestic origins, old bed sheets, children’s clothing, and bras; imbuing everyday objects with personal and emotional resonance. In this talk, Bogle will discuss her transition from painting to soft sculpture, explore how motherhood has influenced her artistic practice, and share insights into her current studio work.
