Lyman Allyn Art Museum to Salute Admiral and Mrs. Robert J. Papp, Jr.

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is pleased to announce the honorees for their 2014 Spring Gala will be Admiral Robert J. Papp, Jr. and his wife, Linda.  Admiral Papp, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard and his wife, are both natives of Connecticut.  In recent years, Admiral Papp has been working to bring the vision of a national Coast Guard museum to reality and the current plan is to build the museum in New London, home of the Coast Guard Academy.

Admiral Papp is retiring from active duty on May 30 of this year.  “The Lyman Allyn is pleased to honor Admiral Papp and his wife Linda in recognition of their life of service to their country – and to their local community” said Polly Merrill, Lyman Allyn Art Museum Board President.  She added, “The Coast Guard Museum will have a significant impact on New London and area cultural attractions, and we look forward to working together in the future.”

Lyman Allyn Art Museum presents SubUrbanisms: Casino Company Town/ China Town.

Lyman Allyn Art Museum, in collaboration with Connecticut College, announces a new exhibition with a local focus and a global reach. SUB URBANISMS (February 8 – May 12, 2014) explores the controversial conversion of single family homes into multifamily communities by immigrant Chinese casino workers in southeastern Connecticut. By transplanting cultural values to their new country, these recent emigrants unconsciously challenge the norms underlying the most ubiquitous American housing type: the suburban single-family detached house. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the values, practices and public policies that determine how we live, and to consider how cultural expectations for building design might further change in response to growing ecological, financial and societal pressures.

Combining photography, interviews and architectural representations, this exhibit probes the limits of inclusivity in a multicultural democracy when cultural practices conflict. With creative implications for the future of housing design and habitation, SUB URBANISMS offers a powerful inquiry into the ways in which culture shapes our lives and our homes.
