Sue Johnson: the Alternate Encyclopedia
“The Alternate Encyclopedia,” will be on display in the Tweed Museum through March 28. Over a period of many years, artist Sue Johnson has developed a collection of prints, drawings, paintings, and found objects, which refer to the “pseudo-scientific” nature of early natural history illustrations and texts. Working with local collections, Johnson will develop a unique installation for the Tweed Museum of Art. As she states, “The idea to create a fully fictitious encyclopedia came to me when I realized that I could entertain my desire for the fantastic
while maintaining my interest in the pursuit of objective truths.”

“Women in Art,” a selection from the permanent collection at the Tweed Museum of Art, will be on display through March 14.
