You Select: A Community-Curated Exhibition

August 19, 2022 @ 10:00 am - February 12, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

Free – $10

Since its opening ten years ago, the Clyfford Still Museum has presented more than 950 works of art by Still in over thirty different exhibitions. Yet, over two-thirds of the Museum’s art collection remains unseen to the world. In the culminating exhibition of CSM’s tenth anniversary celebration year, You Select: A Community-Curated Exhibition hands the curatorial reins to art lovers from the surrounding Denver community and beyond.

CSM asked art lovers from the Denver area and beyond to select works in five different categories for the exhibition through a voting platform on the Museum’s website. The categories represent five themes in Still’s work that represent moments when the artist’s environs were particularly influential. After an eight-week voting period, CSM’s associate curator, Bailey Placzek, arranged the pieces that received the most votes on the walls of the Museum’s skylit galleries.

You Select is designed to foster far-reaching engagement and appreciation of Clyfford Still’s art and artistic legacy. Unbeknownst to many, the City of Denver owns the more than 3,000 art objects held at the Clyfford Still Museum. Still gifted his art to a public entity to share his life’s work with a wide and diverse audience. He believed that art was an expression for all of humanity to enjoy and share, not just the art historians, critics, and so-called “art experts.” Like the artist himself, CSM believes that there is valuable knowledge to gain about Still’s art and the power of abstraction from the surrounding communities and passionate individuals from around the world.
