From corsets and crinolines to bustles and bust improvers, as well as a union suit or two, the Henry has an impressive and curious collection of undergarments. Come see what covered, and what revealed, the body from the 1760s to the 1970s, and discuss how these items shaped the body and reflected society’s views of it.

The Henry is excited to welcome Catherine Opie as this year’s Monsen Photography Lecture speaker. This annual lecture brings key makers and thinkers in photographic practice to the Henry. Named after Dr. Elaine Monsen, the series is designed to further knowledge about and appreciation for the art of photography.

Each year, the Henry presents the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design Master of Fine Arts and Master of Design thesis exhibition. Throughout their programs, fine arts and design students work with advisers and other artists to develop advanced techniques, expand concepts, discuss critical issues, and emerge with a vision and direction for their own work.

What secret creature dwells inside of you? Join local artist Clyde Petersen for an afternoon of stop-motion animation in which we’ll use everyday art supplies to explore what lurks within. Drop in and design a paper puppet to think about what your inner creature looks like, how it moves, where it lives, why it stays hidden. Then give your creature life on the big screen through the magic of animation!

Dora Budor’s work repurposes the hidden materiality of films and architecture to explore what happens to our bodies and minds in the grip of these powerful forms, which she conceptualizes as living systems. Her sculptures have incorporated screen-used cinema props, bringing together the material, affective, and ideological dimensions of Hollywood special effects. In recent site-specific works, she has composed nondeterministic systems out of sound, dust, and light, dramatizing the lived history of specific works of architecture.

These Are Their Stories is an ongoing series of black watercolor drawings on small squares of lightly tinted paper depicting victims from the television crime drama Law & Order. Rendered from video stills of the post-crime scene, each drawing is numbered according to the season of the series and episode. This catalogue of images examines the artist’s personal fascination with vulnerability and loss, as well as the larger cultural enthrallment and the role of media in feeding this fascination. All thirty-five works from the series in the Henry collection will be on view.
