Drawing the Curtain' at Berman Museum will explore Censorship Issues
The exhibition Drawing the Curtain opens in The Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art Feb. 18 and will run through April 18.

The act of censorship is complex, its definition elusive. In "Drawing the Curtain," student and faculty co-curators will investigate case studies of censorship within a college museum exhibition that raises questions about the rights of viewers to make their own choices about the images and objects at which they look.

"Drawing the Curtain" asks its viewers to put themselves in the position of exploring the fundamental nature of these questions by interacting with images and ideas that might in some circumstances lead to acts of censorship. They are invited to "draw the curtain" and make their own decisions.

An opening reception is scheduled in the Upper Gallery Feb. 18, at 4:30 PM.

At Ursinus College, Main Street, Collegeville.
