The Oceanic Melville art exhibition was created in collaboration with Mary K. Bercaw Edwards, University of Connecticut Professor of English and Director of Maritime Studies, and Robert K. Wallace, Northern Kentucky University Regents Professor of English. The artworks in Oceanic Melville, which focus on Melville's novel Moby-Dick, include painting, drawing, artist books, print, and sculpture by artists from Greece, France, England, Canada, Turkey, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, and California. In genre, medium, and style, these artworks are as varied as the chapters in Melville's Moby-Dick. The artworks oscillate, as Melville's verbal aesthetic does, through all gradations from figurative to abstract. The artworks in the exhibition are on loan from the Melville Society and the Elizabeth Schultz Collection at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.Oceanic Melvilleexhibition dates: June 5 – June 19, 2025. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday 12-4 pm, with additional hours to view the exhibition during the conference on Monday June 16, and Tuesday June 17 also from 12-4pm.
