Strange Weather: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation features 89 exceptional artworks spanning five decades, from 1977 to 2021, that have been drawn together for how they creatively call attention to the impact and history of forced migrations, industrialization, global capitalism, and trauma on humans and the contemporary landscape. This intergenerational exhibition brings some of the most influential contemporary artists together for the first time, resulting in a show that should not be missed!

The artists in the exhibition utilize a range of aesthetic strategies, including abstraction, portraiture, figurative painting, landscape, and installation, to explore the current atmospheric strangeness. Exhibition highlights include a large-scale painting by world renowned Kehinde Wiley that monumentalizes issues of identity and nature, a suite of three prints by Julie Mehretu that were created in 2005 in response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a large-scale installation by Nicola López that show startlingly dystopian urban landscapes, and a photographic series by Wendy Red Star that link weather patterns to the consumption and commodification of Native American culture. Additional highlights include important paintings and prints by Terry Winters and a massive 40-foot sculpture by Leonardo Drew that uses abstraction to explore a visual erosion of time and the cyclical nature of life. Together, these and other works make the body and the land legible as paired sites of contestation, offering profound insights about the connections between aesthetics, history, and our tempestuous climate.
