Between the Bylines

Boston University Art Galleries presents Between the Bylines in Stone Gallery, from September 2 - December 10, 2026. The exhibition curated by Susan Bright investigates one crucial issue – that of absence. It looks at who gets represented in the newspaper and how that representation takes shape. It takes as its medium one that is disappearing. The featured artists undertake interventions into newspapers by concealing, obstructing, redacting, or disguising elements of the medium to highlight this representation (or lack of it). This invites the audience to contemplate issues of subjectivity, trust, and control in press coverage. Featured artists include Alexandra Bell, Jennifer Bolande, Daniela Comani, Toni Pepe, Anne Eastman, Odette England, Laura Letinsky, Lorie Novak, Sa’dia Rehman, Donna Ruff, Lorna Simpson, Mickey Smith, Clare Strand, and Carmen Winant. The galleries are open Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 5pm. Between the Bylines will be closed for Thanksgiving from Sunday, November 22 through Monday, November 30. Artwork by Donna Ruff
