Studio Institute

We are pleased to introduce our Cataloguing & Library Research Intern Eliza Guzman. Eliza just graduated from Gettysburg College with a major in Anthropology and a minor in Studio Art. She is working with us this summer as part of the Studio Institute Arts Intern program to build our research library of periodicals, books, and exhibition catalogues for all three of our artists.

It has been an enormous pleasure to have our Archive & Library Intern Hafsa Habib working alongside us this summer as part of the Studio Institute Arts Intern program. Hafsa has spent the summer reorganizing and rehousing Betty Woodman’s slide library collection which was no small task! Here she is with her completed project.

We are pleased to share “The Lady of the Glove: Francesca Woodman and Surrealism” by Celia Bùi Lê, who was our research intern this past summer through the Studio Institute. In her essay, Lê traces the history of Surrealism as related to women, both as maker and as muse, and discusses Woodman’s use of its tropes as a type of creative empowerment.
