The University Library develops supplemental resource lists to accompany reACT and now FOCUS exhibitions at the Christian Petersen Art Museum on campus. As a literal neighbor to the CPAM, the University Library supports further thought about the critical topics these shows address. For the first FOCUS exhibition, Border Crossing, University Librarian, Jeff Alger reflected on Jiménez’ lithograph and sculpture on campus. Alger found the reflection interesting and that as he researched the artist, the additional context around Jiménez and immigration deepened his understanding of the conflict, turmoil and determination depicted. Alger approached his resource list by focusing on biographical information on Jiménez, art and immigration, and resources to deepen how we approach looking at art in general.
