“Sun-up to Sundown: Selections from the Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives Collection” will be featured in the MSU Museum Foyer from April 14 - June 16; the opening and reception is set for 5 to 7 p.m. May 1.
This exhibition features various two-and three-dimensional selections from the Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives Collection of the MSU Museum. The collection features a wide variety of artistic expressions of work and worker culture across a diverse array of media from Michigan, the U.S., and other nations around the world.
Two paintings by America’s most renowned worker artist Ralph Fasanella will be shown along with works by Clementine Hunter, Jack Keijo Steele, Andrew Rieder, Nkoali Nawa, Nora Chapa Mendoza, Mark Priest and dozens more.
There also will be a number of examples of “government work” or “homers,” pieces of art or craft made from materials from the workplace.
