What’s Happening?

The Neill-Cochran House Museum (NCHM) is excited to announce a powerful, personal multi-media art exhibition by Austin artist, Nell Gottlieb, titled Land as Persona: An Artist's Journey, on display at the Museum from January 12 through May 15, 2022.

On January 29, 2022, from 4:00pm-6:00pm, the NCHM welcomes the public to an Opening Reception for the exhibition. Registration is not required. Please drop by anytime between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. Complimentary drinks will be served.
 
Land as Persona: An Artist's Journey focuses on Wallace House in Harpersville, Alabama, once a plantation and Gottlieb’s ancestral home, and today owned and programmed by Klein Arts & Culture. Gottlieb says, “In the specificity of this place, we can view the arc of the American South from the conquest of the Muskogee Creek Nation to enslavement and the rise of the cotton economy, through emancipation, reconstruction, and the rise of Jim Crow, to the present time in which Black and white descendants of the place have come together to create a new narrative.”
 
Gottlieb works in multiple media to reexamine her coming of age, white and female in the Jim Crow South. Her ongoing project, Nostos Algos, considers the pain of returning to the South after a long absence, while confronting the racist mythologies and complicated legacies of the region. Gottlieb recently completed the Block Program of the Glassell School of Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and she has studied with many artists and craft practitioners in the U.S. and in Europe. She is professor emeritus of public health education at The University of Texas at Austin, where she taught from 1980-2011. A native of Alabama, she moved to Texas in 1980.  
 
The Museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM. This exhibit is located on the first floor and is wheel chair accessible. The Museum also requests that visitors wear a mask at all times while inside the Museum.
