Labouring Bodies (10 June – 8 November 2026) Labouring Bodies explores the complex relationship between body and technology from a feminist perspective. The group exhibition shows how the human body – especially the female body – has been shaped and controlled by machines since the dawn of the modern age. With a focus on working, caring, and birthing bodies, which have often remained invisible and been systematically overlooked, the exhibition examines the intertwining of industrial production and biological reproduction – a link reflected in the double meaning of the word 'labour' in the title. The exhibition offers an opportunity to rediscover artworks from a period stretching back more than a century and to consider key social issues around the body, labour and care: What influence does mechanisation have on our lives and our workplaces? Which forms of labour are rewarded and which remain invisible? And how fairly distributed is the work that keeps society functioning?

For photography dreamers, and visual media lovers : Dayla Calendine "wanted t be part of something that helped students discover" by opening the Calendine-Davis Studio at Freed-Hardeman University.

Dayla, and Chad Calendine used their philanthropic clout in support of photographic, and visual media  creativity. This will open the doorway for many students to stretch their legs and see what stories are possible to tell ia images at the Calendine-Davis Studio. I applaud the Calendines. 

Calendine-Davis Studio Opens on FHU's Campus Bringing Student Creativity Into Focus

HENDERSON, Tenn, Alumni and donors Dayla and Chad Calendine made a deeply personal investment in the future of Freed-Hardeman University photography students by fully funding a state-of-the-art studio designed to serve generations of aspiring image makers while strengthening the university's creative programs.

"We wanted to be part of something that helps students discover," said Dayla Calendine, who also serves on FHU's Board of Trustees. "This is about more than a building — it's about creating opportunities and strengthening connections that will last far beyond their time here."

A ribbon-cutting ceremony held in April marked the official opening of the more than 6,600-square-foot Calendine-Davis Studio, a facility more than a decade in the making that now serves as a central hub for students studying photography and visual media. The studio includes an art gallery, digital gallery and classroom space designed to reflect modern industry standards.

From the moment students walk through its doors, the difference is clear. Built to support both technical training and creative exploration, the studio gives students the opportunity to sharpen their skills while discovering how their work can communicate meaning and purpose.

"Image makers are trained here. Beauty is pursued here. Light is used with 21st-century skill," Freed-Hardeman Professor of Art Jud Davis said. Davis's words summed up the vision behind the Calendine-Davis Studio at FHU — a vision that now stands fully realized.

"This has been a long time coming," Davis said. "A lot of people poured into this, and I'm just grateful. At the end of the day, it's about giving people a place to learn, grow and use what they've been given."

The studio's story is one of collaboration, vision and strong community support. Early encouragement from retired College of Arts and Sciences faculty members Barbara England, fine arts, and Laquita Thomson, visual arts, helped lay the foundation for the project, while the university's advancement team and community partners such as E & T Contractors, along with Jason Brashier and Shannon Sewell, played key roles in bringing the vision to life.

The Calendines' support is echoed by fellow Board of Trustees member John Dodd, who emphasized the broader impact of the project.

"This is what it looks like when a university invests in its students in a meaningful way," said Dodd, chairman of the buildings committee. "It's not just about a facility — it's about creating an environment where students can grow, learn and be prepared for what comes next."

Today, the Calendine-Davis Studio is already fulfilling that vision.

Students are gaining hands-on experience in a professional environment while developing confidence, creativity and a deeper understanding of their craft. The studio continues to serve as a place where technical skill meets storytelling, preparing students to create meaningful work that reflects both artistry and purpose.

The mission of Freed-Hardeman University is to help students develop their God-given talents for His glory by empowering them with an education that integrates Christian faith, scholarship and service. Located in Henderson, Tennessee, FHU offers associate, bachelor's, master's, specialist and doctoral degrees. More information is available at fhu.edu.

Book tour Parcours: Art in the fabric of the city Under the curatorship of Stefanie Hessler, Parcours activates public and historic sites in close proximity to the fair, presenting 22 site‑specific projects by 31 galleries. Highlights include Kader Attia’s Untitled (Rainsticks), a sound‑driven installation at UBS Aeschenvorstadt; Haegue Yang’s Intermediates, unfolding across the Mittlere Brücke and an artisanal distillery; and Amol K Patil’s Burning Speeches, examining labour, housing, and political speech through drawing, sculpture, and video. Learn more Public Commissions: New works beyond the fair As part of the Art Basel Awards, two major new public commissions from last year's gold medalists will be unveiled during the fair, extending Art Basel beyond the halls and into the city of Basel itself. On Messeplatz, Nairy Baghramian presents Modèle vivant (S’empilant), a site‑responsive installation conceived for the square’s fountain. Composed of large‑scale sculptural groupings that appear stacked or precariously balanced, the work reconsiders the relationship between sculpture, architecture, and the body. On Münsterplatz, Ibrahim Mahama unveils The God of Small Things, an immersive installation formed as a constellation of suspended elements. Using rubber residues sourced from a post‑independence‑era factory in Ghana, the work transforms the historic square into a site of material and political reflection. Learn more
