Audrey Alexander (IMA ‘26) was featured in Washington Square News for her curatorial contributions to “Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do”, a new exhibit at the Clive Davis Gallery.
From the article by Emily Colette Love:
“Located inside the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, the exhibition is curated by a group of students who worked under the direction of Gallatin professor Keith Miller as part of NYU’s new Arts & Impact Initiative. The students — Audrey Alexander, William Bigby, Bea Esteves Mendez and Ava Noland — also collaborated with Anna Canoni, Guthrie’s granddaughter and the current president of Woody Guthrie Publications.
The curatorial choices made by the students — from the flower-patterned wallpaper to the optimistic poetry — reflect Guthrie’s uplifting messages to a discouraged audience. It’s a reminder that young people are capable of creating change and accessing hope through inclusivity, which is an important note during an era of growing isolation and disconnection.”
“Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do” is up at the Clive Davis Gallery at 370 Jay St. until May 15.
