SUMMARY:August-September @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:Throughout August Art Works is open to the public\, offering a variety of engaging exhibits. Adam and Anita Bradley present life-size figurative sculptures and paintings capturing a chaotic world. Mike Bily’s exhibit investigates ecosystems; Sharon Denmark captures light flowing through glass. Rachel Rowden exhibit is a portal of mysteries and Rebecca Visger provides a view from behind the wheel. Blake Bottoms exhibit is featured in the Community Bridge Project. \n  \nJoin us for a fun-filled scavenger hunt with prizes\, perfect for both the young and the young at heart. The activity culminates with prizes for all who participate. We also offer figure drawing sessions on the 1st and 3rd Sundays and Queer Life Drawing at Gold Lion Community Café on August 20th.  \n  \nBradley + Bradley: The Weight of Vanishing Shadows \nAdam and Anita Bradley explore the human condition through their unique mediums. Adam presents life-sized figurative sculptures in wood\, steel\, ceramics\, and smaller bronze pieces\, reflecting themes of anxiety\, loss\, and grief. Anita complements this with layered paintings and mixed media collages\, capturing the struggle for order in a chaotic world. Their intertwined approaches invite contemplation of deep human experiences. \n  \nThe exhibition will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery at Art Works and will continue through September 20\, 2025. \n  \n  \nArtifacts by Anne Chamblin \nAnne Chamblin’s work is about merging sight and feeling. For her\, painting is a way to process what she experiences. She brings spaces\, places\, and faces to life on canvas\, turning bodies into landscapes and using layers to hint at the passage of time. Anne constantly reworks her paintings\, always keeping a bit of the past to shape the present. Her journey is grounded in everyday experiences\, resulting in unique\, relatable art. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery at Art Works through September 20\, 2025. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBetween Worlds by Hannah Anderson \n  \nAmerican abstract artist Hannah Anderson (b. 1953)\, raised in the simplicity of a Quaker household\, rediscovered her love for painting in 1990 with a Crayon watercolor set. Self-taught and inspired by contemporary artists\, her work reflects the light and dark periods of her life\, blending elements of nature and archetypal symbols from healing traditions. Her debut exhibit\, Between Worlds\, explores the liminal space between worlds and relationships. Hannah resides in Richmond\, Virginia\, and finds inspiration in Taos\, New Mexico. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery at Art Works through September 20\, 2025. \n  \n\nMental Health Matters: Celebrating Resilience Through Art All Media Show\nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings. It is a juried show with cash prizes for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd place. The show is open to all artists and all mediums. \n  \nIn August the theme is Mental Health Matters: Celebrating Resilience Through Art. The community has donated terrific items that we will be auctioning to benefit NAMI\, and Art Works will donate the sales from the All Media Show to NAMI. \nWonJung Choi an international artist and educator\, will be the juror for the exhibit. Wonjung Choi is a Korean-born\, Virginia-based artist whose multidisciplinary work delves into the complexities of identity formation in a globalized world. See more on WonJung’s website: Click here. \n  \nCall for entries is July 15  – August 10\, 2025\, and may be submitted through the online form.

SUMMARY:Heather Stivison\, “Ebb & Flow”\, a Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In this her third New York City solo exhibition\, Heather Stivison explores the intersection of environmental science and visual art with a series of immersive paintings of the ocean. \nStivison paintings capture the essence of water—something clear and colorless\, with its shape formed entirely by the external forces of objects\, land\, wind\, gravity. Searching for water’s most primary qualities\, she uses light\, color\, form\, shape\, line\, to engender a sense of water. Fluidity\, reflections\, rhythms are evident in her ocean surface paintings. Stivison is fascinated by the reflections and patterns created by the coastal ocean surface. She paints variations on patterns\, exploring how much she can change them and still maintain the sense that the subject is surface water. \nCurator and director of Manhattan Arts International Renee Phillips writes: \n“Stivison ventures beyond nature’s physical boundaries into abstraction with the profusion of free-flowing biomorphic patterns and tonal ranges. In her paintings the innate attributes of water evolve into metaphors\, symbolism and visual poetry.” \nThe exhibition includes a massive 110-inch quadriptych that explores the sense of weightlessness and mystery that she finds in the imagining unknown ocean depths. Other paintings explore surface water patterns as abstract design. \nIndependent curator Kathy Imlay writes: \n“Stivison’s paintings have a luminous glow—accomplished by the artist building up layer upon layer of viscous paint\, which she pours\, smears\, scrapes and otherwise manipulates to create fields of color that conjure the watery depths of the ocean or intergalactic space\, depending on the palette.” \nSome of the paintings on view are the result of her multi-year\, grant funded collaboration with Noah Germolus\, a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who was researching ocean chemistry. Stivison created two paintings about him and his work\, and four five-foot paintings that interpret his research data in paint. \nThe collaboration led to a unique special feature of this exhibition. After Stivison interpreted his data in paint\, he in turn\, interpreted four of her paintings in music. The exhibition includes an on-demand sound installation of original jazz music composed and performed by Germolus. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Robert Braczyk: Cardinal Directions
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: January 27 – February 21\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thurs.\, January 29\, 2026\, 5PM-8PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, February 14\, 2026\, 3PM-4PM\nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday\, 11AM-6PM \nBowery Gallery is pleased to present “Cardinal Directions\,” an exhibition of new sculpture by Robert Braczyk.  \nFor many years a prize-winning figurative sculptor\, in recent years Braczyk has turned to abstraction. In his new work—most about 24 inches high—he assembles various tree elements into vertical compositions that echo figural forms\, but whose abstract vocabulary of open volumes and discontinuous contours suggests the possibility of multiple allusions. Each work evinces a powerful spatial tension between the cardinal point from which it is begun and the complex three-dimensional image that Braczyk builds with primary thrust\, axis\, and meridian.  \nBraczyk’s trajectory from figure to abstract figure may be seen as a temporal through line connecting the events of a life. The artist’s comment that he brings all his life’s experiences into the studio reminds us that in the long arc of his career\, the spatial and temporal are never far apart. \nView the exhibition website. \n  \nBowery Gallery\n547 W. 27th Street\, Suite 508\nNew York\, NY 10001 \n  Save

SUMMARY:Evergreen: Art from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Evergreen: Art from the Collection celebrates SJMA’s collection as both a gift to and a product of its community. This dedicated gallery space\, which provides long-term access to the Museum’s collection\, honors the community members who rallied together to establish the Museum; the artists who trust us to care for their visions; the generous donors who helped to build the collection; the generations of students who have visited; the volunteers and staff who have contributed; and the breadth of community experiences that give ongoing meaning to the works. \nLocated in the Museum’s historic building—formerly the city’s post office and library—Evergreen highlights the Museum’s growing collection and the numerous San José stories it tells. The gallery features such works as rafa esparza’s Yosi con Abuela (2021)\, a recently acquired portrait on adobe of the East San José poet and activist Yosimar Reyes with his grandmother. Also on view are Resident Alien (1988) by Hung Liu\, the beloved Bay Area artist and longtime friend of SJMA\, and Louise Nevelson’s monumental Sky Cathedral (1957–58)\, a centerpiece of the Museum’s collection. The gallery also includes access points to the free digital collection catalog 50×50: Stories of Visionary Artists from the Collection\, which highlights the stories and impact of artists in the Museum’s collection. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Bosco Sodi: Origen
DESCRIPTION:Visit our galleries for FREE on Sundays. Check the visit page for all free admission opportunities at the Harvard Art Museums. \nA new installation of sculptures by Mexican-born artist Bosco Sodi (b. 1970) places 14 of the artist’s handmade clay spheres at the Harvard Art Museums and marks the first-ever presentation of art on the museums’ outdoor Broadway terrace. Sodi’s practice explores the earth’s elements\, marrying age-old traditions of sculpting clay with a contemporary vision of creating simple universal forms that prompt reflection. Drawing on centuries-old techniques passed through the Zapotec culture\, Sodi works with Oaxacan artisans\, using local clay to sculpt each sphere\, drying it outside for up to eight months\, and then firing it in a kiln built upon a beach. The resulting terracotta forms reveal the effects of nature’s forces—the sun\, sea air\, and fire—as demonstrated by the cracks\, chips\, and blackened and crusty patches that distinguish each sphere. In a first for a U.S. installation of the artist’s work\, Sodi will also unveil three gold-glazed spheres as part of his site-specific arrangement. Moving from outside to inside the museums\, these gold spheres connect to and engage with the meditative atmosphere evoked by the installation of Buddhist figures in Gallery 1610. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Calling on the Past: Selections from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Calling on the Past invites visitors to experience the Smart Museum’s collection anew\, through a sensory exploration of color\, texture\, and form. \nIn lieu of customary chronological or geographical divisions\, such as those that have often guided the display of the collection in the past\, this installation draws on the breadth and depth of the Museum’s holdings to situate key works side by side across centuries. From antiquities to contemporary painting and sculpture\, the cross-historical selection of objects speaks to the varied materials\, ideas\, and questions artists continue to explore\, while emphasizing the editing of history. \nCalling on the Past is inspired in part by art historian George Kubler’s seminal text The Shape of Time: Remarks on the History of Things (1962)\, which argues the art of the past is in constant conversation with the present. Kubler replaces the notion of art historical styles with the understanding that time is both linear and looped\, and artists have been revisiting the same sets of questions across the ages. Rather than emphasizing objects’ original context\, this exhibition inserts them into imaginative groupings\, unraveling historical hierarchies and encouraging us to see the collection with fresh eyes. \n  Save

SUMMARY:In a New Light: Paintings from the Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:In a New Light: Paintings from the Yale Center for British Art presents a selection of YCBA artworks in the Yale University Art Gallery’s Louis Kahn building while the YCBA’s own iconic Kahn building is closed for its next phase of conservation. The nearly sixty works on view span four centuries of British landscape and portraiture traditions. Highlights include Joseph Mallord William Turner’s Dort or Dordrecht: The Dort Packet-Boat from Rotterdam Becalmed (1818); several of John Constable’s atmospheric Cloud Studies (1821–25); James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Blue and Silver (1872–78); and Francis Bacon’s Study of a Head (1952). The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see these and other artworks from the YCBA’s collection in a new setting\, yet one that—like the YCBA itself—displays the notable elements of Kahn’s simple but elegant museum architecture: basic geometric forms\, natural materials in muted palettes\, and galler­ies filled with diffuse daylight. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Sharing The Same Breath
DESCRIPTION:In her 2021 essay “A Family Reunion Near the End of the World\,” botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer contemplates our kinship with nature and proposes a road map for deepening our care and respect for all living things. \n“Being a relative\,” she writes\, “is more than shared blood from a common past. Real kinship arises when we realize that we have a common future\, that our fates are linked.” She goes on to suggest\, “Real kinship comes when you live it. It’s not a noun\, but a verb\, it’s not a thing\, it’s what you do.” \nThe cultivation of kinship with the living world is the foundation for Sharing the Same Breath. The exhibition brings together nine artists who consider the world’s complex web of relations through artworks that emphasize human\, nonhuman\, and interspecies forms of kinship and connectivity. These relationships are explored through a wide range of mediums including sculpture\, photography\, drawing\, video\, film\, and installation. Together the works form a kincentric viewpoint that challenges narratives of human exceptionalism and encourages us to regard our symbiotic relationship and shared fate with our more-than-human family with greater attention and care. \nArtists in the exhibition include Juan William Chávez\, David Freid\, Lindsey French\, Emilie Louise Gossiaux\, Nina Katchadourian\, Cannupa Hanska Luger\, Marie Watt\, William Wegman\, and Dyani White Hawk. \nImage: Emilie L.

SUMMARY:Rose B. Simpson: Counterculture
DESCRIPTION:The seven cast-concrete figures in Rose B. Simpson’s Counterculture are witnesses—reminders that the natural world is continuously watching humanity. Despite their over ten foot height\, the feminine-bodied forms show grace in their vigilance and space taking\, carrying necklaces made of ceramic beads instead of taking up weapons. \nSimpson’s sculptures are traveling to different sites across the country\, including the grounds of the Art Preserve\, where they will observe the seasons shift from summer to fall and into winter. Their presence suggests that we\, too\, should listen and humble ourselves to the natural world\, tuning into the ways in which we are responsible for the exploitation of our environment’s limited resources. \nIf we know something greater than ourselves is watching\, will we do things differently? \nCounterculture was created for and originally installed on the ancestral lands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians\, in present-day Williamstown\, Massachusetts. The sculptures’ move to Wisconsin traces the path of forced removal experienced by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community\, which today is located on their reservation in northeastern Wisconsin\, with members also living in other parts of Wisconsin\, the United States\, and the world. \nImage: Rose B.

SUMMARY:Ellen Carey: Struck By Light
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Carey: Struck By Light \nThursday\, July 20\, 2023 —  Sunday\, January 28\, 2024 \n\n\n\n\n\nPart One: On view starting June 24 in the Helen T. and Philip B. Stanley Gallery \nPart Two: Opens July 20 in the Maximilian E. and Marion O. Hoffman Foundation Gallery \nThis two-part exhibition presents three decades of work by acclaimed Hartford-based artist Ellen Carey. \nSince the early 1990s\, artist Ellen Carey (b. 1952) has created experimental and abstract works that defy photographic conventions. Struck by Light represents the largest survey of Carey’s innovative photo-objects and lens-based artworks. Spanning 30 years of her prolific career\, the exhibition includes examples of her Photography Degree Zero (1996–2023) practice of Polaroid 20 X 24 lens-based images—including Pulls and Rollbacks—as well as her Struck by Light (1992–2023) series of camera-less photograms—Dings and Shadows—inspired by the earliest examples of paper photography. Collectively\, the works trace Carey’s enormous contributions to the field of photography through her pioneering explorations of light\, color\, and shadow\, and are drawn from the collections of the New Britain Museum of American Art and the artist. \nEllen Carey received her BFA from KCAI-Kansas City Art Institute (1971-1975) and her MFA (1976-1978) from SUNY@Buffalo (now UB). She is Associate Professor of Photography (1983-2023) Hartford Art School (HAS)-University of Hartford. \nA recent article written by Chris Wiley for The New Yorker (February 2023) sees the arc of her career as well as the solo exhibition Light Struck at Fox Talbot Museum (2023-2024)\, the home of photography in Lacock (England). \n  \nEllen Carey’s Artist Statement: \nPhotography changed our world. Now universal\, a photograph links a global humanity with our picture culture from each image to hundreds\, millions\, billions seen every day; we are visual. \nA Picture is a Poem without Words – Horace \nStruck by light is a phrase that sparks imagination\, tells of inspiration\, a metaphor for discovery\, to conceive something anew\, a rare feeling\, a brainstorm … Eureka! … says it all. Photography\, discovered in the 19th century\, is Greek – phōs for light\, graphis for drawing – light drawing. \nLight’s immateriality challenges its ‘camera operators’ today. Analog versus digital technologies double these challenges. Struck by light has multiple meanings for my experimental and lens-based works. It names my creative practice in photogram\, while Photography Degree Zero sees my Polaroid 20 X 24 works. Light\, wherever/whenever it strikes\, is to be free. \nStruck by Light is different in meaning for photographers. When light-sensitive paper/film is exposed to/struck by light\, if intentional\, a negative/film or image/paper is made; however\, if light strikes the paper/film\, accidentally it is “fogged” – darkened – light travels. Photographers are often called light travelers; I see my work in this context\, giving content to it. \nAll journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware – Martin Buber \nPhotographers use light in all different ways – silhouette\, shadow\, outline\, reflection; however\, I often cannot see light while I work [in the darkroom]\, leading me to wonder what the light does on its own. What are light’s first traces? \nLight finds my Catholic birth name – Celtic\, Gaelic\, Irish – a prescient gift from my parents; Ellen means light or bringer of light. Color is universal\, an artist’s universe\, in that universe is photography’s planet\, where light and color overlap and meet; it is called photographic color theory – RGBYMC – a palette that conceptually underscores my twin practices. \nStruck by Light is the DNA of my dual artistic endeavors\, a double helix with light and color\, photography within process\, that combines destiny and fate. When light becomes visible the photo-object speaks. My photographs say craquelure\, parabola\, hue\, abstract\, process\, minimal\, photogram\, light\, beauty\, color\, wonder\, invention\, innovation. \n  \n\n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Asberry Davis: Run Your Own Way
DESCRIPTION:Asberry Davis began making “things\,” as he called them\, in the early 1970s\, on land in the Congaree Swamp in South Carolina. \nIn the late 1960s\, a widow named Ella Riley had moved onto the land near Davis\, living in a one-room construction he built for her. After her death\, in 1973\, Davis stacked all of her possessions into a pseudo-mausoleum memorial\, which he planted with flowers and tended to for the rest of his life. This act of remembrance stirred a creativity in the artist\, leading him to a decades-long artistic practice. \nDavis made costumes comprising elaborately wrapped and twisted bracelets and belts. Many of his sculptural pieces were used for a game of his own invention that involved a combination of tug-of-war and jousting. Over time\, his homestead became an amalgamation of scattered constructions\, ad-hoc modes of transportation\, old farm equipment\, and forms hung from trees. He lived there until his death in 1999. \nIn 2022\, the Arts Center acquired four works by Davis as part of a larger gift from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. They are believed to be the only surviving pieces from his now-destroyed site and will be on view at the Art Preserve with a selection of documentary photographs. \nImage: Asberry Davis\, group of untitled work\, c. 1998.

SUMMARY:Nuts and Who’s: A Candy Store Sampler
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, artists in Northern California embraced an attitude towards art-making that was irreverent\, bawdy\, and free-spirited\, which resonated with artists across the country who rejected the mainstream art world. Through objects primarily drawn from SJMA’s permanent collection\, this exhibition focuses on the convergence of these artists around the Candy Store Gallery\, and the cross-fertilization of ideas that resulted. \n  Save

SUMMARY:A Question of Hu: The Narrative Art of Hung Liu From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the 1970s until her death in 2021\, the pathbreaking Chinese-born American painter Hung Liu made highly narrative images that foregrounded workers\, immigrants\, refugees\, women\, children\, and soldiers in haunting\, incandescent portraits that mingle Chinese and Western traditions. \n\n\nOne of the first Chinese artists to establish a career in the United States\, Liu explored the fragile relationship between memory and history in paintings and works on paper that focus on communities misrepresented or marginalized by official narratives. Featuring multilayered brushstrokes\, washes of linseed oil\, and experimental printing techniques\, Liu’s knotty if purposefully accessible oeuvre has been characterized by her husband\, critic Jeff Kelley\, as a species of “weeping realism.” \nAs part of a collaboration with Converge 45\, The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University will host an exhibition of paintings and prints by the late Chinese American artist Hung Liu in the Fall of 2023. Drawn entirely from the exhaustive holdings of the collections of Jordan Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation\, the exhibition will provide a major entry point for Converge 45’s citywide discussion of Social Forms: Art & Global Citizenship. An exhibition of eleven paintings\, three cotton Jacquard tapestries\, and a complement of lithographs and other works on paper\, A Question of Hu will serve to introduce Lui’s remarkable work to the Pacific Northwest\, while demonstrating—like few artistic oeuvres can—an expanded view of citizenship in an era of seismic change that is also fundamentally marked by evolving ideas of artistic solidarity and collaboration. \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love\, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Gibson asks us to co-envision a future and to move toward it. Ceaselessly prioritizing collective imagination as a tool toward manifestation and realization\, the artist has stated\, “Don’t accept the circumstances you are in; acknowledge that you are in them and then find a future.” \n\n\nThis major exhibition is devoted to one of today’s foremost artists\, whose vibrant interdisciplinary practice combines sculpture and painting\, beadwork and video\, words and images\, incorporating rawhide\, tipi poles\, sterling silver\, wool blankets\, jingles\, fringe\, and sinew—materials that refer to American Indian cultures toward the adornment of quotidian objects such as punching bags\, flags\, banners\, and illuminated signs. Gibson\, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage\, combines aspects of Indigenous art and culture with modernist traditions\, navigating and disrupting the expectations placed upon Native artists working within the contemporary art world. At the root of his enterprise lies a core value—objects\, and people alike\, carry the potential for radical transformation. \nExclusively curated from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation\, They Teach Love presents a sweeping survey of over 35 objects across a span of fifteen years. Beginning with examples of the artist’s earliest engagements with printmaking\, our exhibition proceeds to include photography\, painting\, and sculpture\, as well as recent forms that express his foray into performance\, installation\, and video\, as well as contemporary adornment in fashion. The latter direction is reflective of intertribal powwows as well as the dance clubs where Gibson found safe spaces as a teenager. \nThe exhibition’s centerpiece is an expansive and immersive work titled To Name An Other which is comprised of 51 screen printed elk hide drums and 50 wearable garments. Originally commissioned as a performance by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, in 2019\, To Name An Other marks a turning point in the artist’s career whereby Gibson has increasingly sought out collective-based projects and performances to activate the communities he works within. This idea is especially appropriate when considering Jeffrey Gibson’s work\, as he pushes to create affinity—collaboration is at the heart of his recent social practice. Working and learning together may aid to decolonize our minds and institutions\, revealing a future we wish to inhabit. \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:We Are The Revolution: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:In the 1972 print We Are the Revolution\, the artist Joseph Beuys faces the viewer confidently. Standing more than six-feet tall\, he strides firmly into the future while encouraging others to do the same. Designed as a poster for a 1971 Beuys exhibition in Naples\, Italy—the original print reads La Rivoluzione Siamo Noi—the work currently serves as the title for a remarkable\, once-in-a-lifetime\, curated exhibition of Portland’s premiere collection of contemporary art: the expansive holdings of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. \n\n\nAn anchor event for Converge 45’s citywide 2023 biennial\, Social Forms: Art As Global Citizenship\, the exhibition We Are the Revolution plumbs the depth of commitment of Jordan Schnitzer to the art of his time\, while tapping into a living history of social expression through art in diverse media—from monumental paintings to free-standing sculpture to works on paper. Designed in part to explore ways in which the art of the past meets and affects the art of the present\, the exhibition gives voice to art as both social commentary and aesthetic experimentation from the 1960s to today. Driven by the conviction that history is constructed through both continuity and discontinuity\, the exhibition strives to establish unexpected juxtapositions and revealing connections among historical and contemporary artists and artworks. \nWe Are the Revolution features over 100 works by 32 artists and is co-curated by William Morrow\, Director of Exhibitions\, Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation\, and Converge 45 Guest Curator Christian Viveros-Fauné. \n\n  Save

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue. \n\n\nWe gave thanks for the story\, for all parts of the story\nbecause it was by the light of those challenges we knew\nourselves—Joy Harjo (Muscogee / Creek)\, National Poet Laureate \nMultimedia artist Marie Watt is a storyteller. As a member of the Seneca Nation (one of six that comprise the Haudenosaunee Confederacy) with German-Scots ancestry\, her stories draw from Native and non-Native traditions: Greco-Roman myth\, pop music and Pop art\, Indigenous oral narratives\, Star Wars and Star Trek. \nWatt reminds us of the stories told by her Seneca ancestors: how the world came to be\, what we have to learn from animals\, our ethical obligations to the planet\, as well as to past and future generations. She tells stories about humble\, everyday materials and objects—blankets\, quilts\, corn husks\, letters\, ladders\, and dreamcatchers—that carry intimate meanings and memories. \nOver the course of her career\, Watt has told these stories through prints. The collaborative printmaking process is consistent with Watt’s desire to build communities through art and storytelling. The stories the prints tell are personal\, cultural\, and universal\, dealing with elemental themes of shelter\, dreams\, the earth and sky\, and the cosmos. \nAs a Klamath elder once told her: “My story changes when I know your story.” \nThis retrospective exhibition traces Marie Watt’s career in print from 1996-present. For the first time\, Watt’s early work from her MFA program at Yale\, and her collaborations with master printers at Crows Shadow Institute\, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology\, Tamarind Institute\, and more recently Mullowney Printing Company are exhibited alongside the artists monumental scale textiles and sculpture. This exhibition also explores Watt’s evolving practice of convening sewing and printing circles with family\, friends and community members. The exhibition was curated in partnership with the University of San Diego by Dr. John Murphy\, Philip and Lynn Straus Curator of Prints and Drawings at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center\, Vassar College. \nMarie Watt (b. 1967) holds an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University; she also has degrees from Willamette University and the Institute of American Indian Arts; and in 2016 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from Willamette University.She has attended residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and the Vermont Studio Center; and has received fellowships from Anonymous Was a Woman\, the Joan Mitchell Foundation\, the Harpo Foundation\, The Ford Family Foundation\, and the Native Arts and Culture Foundation\, among others. \nWatt’s work in important museum collections across the United States. Selected collections include the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Seattle Art Museum\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery\, Yale University Art Gallery\, the Crystal Bridges Museum\, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and Renwick Gallery\, the Tacoma Art Museum\, the Denver Art Museum\, and the Portland Art Museum. \nThe exhibition is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue that includes an artist interview with Derrick Cartwright\, Director of University Galleries\, University of San Diego and essays by Dr. Jolene Rickard\, Associate Professor Art History at Cornell University\, and the exhibition curator\, Dr. John Murphy\, Philip and Lynn Straus Curator of Prints and Drawings at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center\, Vassar College. \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Ways to Train Songbirds: Sticky Gold Collective
DESCRIPTION:Image caption:\nMatthew Mitros\, Flower no.009\, 2022\, ceramic\, resin\, plexi\, aluminum\,18 x 9 x 9 in. Photo courtesy of the artist. \n\n“There are numerous ways to train birds of prey\, yet songbirds are incredibly challenging. Many ornithologists consider songbirds to be exceptionally intelligent but not always the most trainable . . . the same could be said about artists.” –  Sticky Gold Collective\, August 2023” \nThe Collective\, formed by Matt Mitros in 2018\, includes artists from a range of backgrounds who share an irreverent appreciation for the intersection of craft and art. While the artists do not align to a common theme or subject\, they share a quasi-humorous tone and campy bravado regarding material usage and illusion. \n Padyn Humble is a sculptor from Montana whose work investigates social norms and the way they influence identity. He utilizes Western iconography and his inspiration stems from influences like cartoons\, truck stop souvenirs\, and queer pop culture.  Matt Mitros uses a visual language of botanical pastiche to depict the emotional relationship between plants and machines. Themes of survival\, growth\, and metamorphosis are prevalent in his work through visual displays of conflict and celebration. Danni O’Brien’s work is rooted in play\, collecting\, and constructing and is informed by an education in assemblage sculpture\, fiber arts\, and ceramics. Her fantastical cast-offs from upcycled materials marry construction and wood working with traditionally feminized and domesticated systems such as stitching\, beading\, and rug making to compose dually hard and soft objects. Danni O’Brien and Ben Galaday wield nuanced abstraction to engage the viewer with blurred dreamlike compositions. Galaday’s work\, however\, is a dark counterpart to O’Brien’s flamboyancy. Oscillating between demoralizing and seducing\, Galaday taps into the truths of the human condition creating kaleidoscopic approximations of life\, death\, decay\, rejuvenation\, and apathy. Matthew Wicks uses kitschy\, everyday symbols such as suits of playing cards or domestic objects to subvert ideas of hypermasculinity in Western culture. \nAltogether\, Sticky Gold Collective questions various aspects of gender\, orientation\, and societal expectations through a mixed media approach to ceramics\, while relieving the viewer of certain preconceived notions that come with “traditional” craftsmanship and material expectations embedded within the canon of ceramic art. This exhibition will remain on view through December 30\, 2023. \n\nThe public is invited to the exhibition’s opening reception to view the work on Friday\, September 1 from 6 to 8 pm. The exhibition includes work by five artists who are members of the Sticky Gold Collective: Ben Galaday\, Padyn Humble\, Matt Mitros\, Danni O’Brien\, and Matthew Wicks. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick\, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:A leading artist of her generation\, Kara Walker (b. 1969) works in a range of mediums\, including prints\, drawings\, paintings\, sculpture\, film\, and the large-scale silhouette cutouts for which she is perhaps most recognized. In Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick\, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation\, her powerful and provocative images employ contradictions to critique the painful legacies of slavery\, sexism\, violence\, imperialism\, and other power structures\, including those in the history and hierarchies of art and contemporary culture. \nThis exhibition offers a broad overview of her career through more than 80 works from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation\, premier collectors of works on paper in the United States. Some highlights of the exhibition are the complete Emancipation Approximation series and images from the Porgy & Bess series. Walker’s process involves extensive research in history\, literature\, art history\, and popular culture. Intentionally unsentimental and ambiguous\, the works can be disturbing yet also humorous\, always exploring the irreconcilable inconsistencies that mirror the human condition. This is Walker’s first solo exhibition at the Frist Art Museum; her work Camptown Ladies appeared in our presentation of 30 Americans in 2013–14. \n\n\nCo-curated by Frist Art Museum executive director and CEO Dr. Susan H. Edwards and Nashville poet Ciona Rouse. \n\n  Save

SUMMARY:Mickalene Thomas / Portrait of an Unlikely Space
DESCRIPTION:Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971\, M.F.A. 2002) has gained an international reputation for her dazzling paintings and photographs of Black women posed in lushly decorated interiors\, as well as for her similarly styled\, immersive installations. In Mickalene Thomas / Portrait of an Unlikely Space\, the artist designs an entirely new multigallery installation\, imagining domestic surroundings reminiscent of a moment in U.S. history that has never before been so explicitly represented in her work: the pre-Emancipation era. Coorganized by Thomas\, the exhibition features a selection of early American portraits of Black women\, men\, and children—from miniatures and daguerreotypes to silhouettes on paper and engravings in books—hanging on walls\, standing within cases\, and resting atop furniture. Alongside these small-scale objects\, a group of artworks by Thomas and other contemporary artists in a wide array of media are also situated within her signature homelike environment\, which is adorned with period-specific textile patterns and other decorative elements. The exhibition’s living-room design elicits reflection on not only the settings in which such eighteenth- and nineteenth-century portraits would originally have been encountered but also the intimate subject matter explored in the contemporary works on view. With her unique\, multifaceted approach\, Thomas constructs an evocative space that is meant to engender a sense of community—for the individuals depicted in the historical objects\, the artists whose work is represented in the show\, and the visitors engaging with both the past and the present. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Justin Favela: Ruta Madre
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) announces a new solo exhibition of works by Las Vegas-based artist Justin Favela. Known for his vivid large-scale murals and sculptures\, Favela will create a new site-specific installation inspired by lowrider culture and St. Louis’ connection to Route 66. The installation will feature the artist’s bold\, colorful designs and signature hand-cut paper technique on the Museum’s 60-foot Project Wall. The exhibition will also include a new video work as part of CAM’s outdoor Street Views projection\, on view from dusk to midnight every night. Justin Favela: Ruta Madre will be on view at CAM from September 8\, 2023–February 11\, 2024. \nFavela’s creative practice explores notions of authenticity\, place\, and identity through the use of familiar materials. Drawing inspiration from traditional Mexican or Latin American craft\, specifically piñata making\, Favela uses paper and glue to create dynamic and monumental forms. His piñata-like sculptures and installations become vibrant symbols of Latinx joy and visibility. Informed by his own Mexican-Guatemalan American upbringing\, Favela’s colorful and often humorous works aim to critique cultural stereotypes and create public dialogue around what it means to be Latinx in the US.  \nAs part of the exhibition programming for Ruta Madre\, Favela and his family will present a Family Fiesta at CAM during the fall exhibition season\, inviting hundreds of guests to participate in traditional Mexican and Guatemalan games and activities. In keeping with the artist’s socially-engaged practice\, Favela frequently activates his artwork by hosting Family Fiestas at museums and in unexpected locations. These public performances of the artist’s own family celebrations are designed to attract new museum audiences and draw attention to institutional inclusion efforts. \nThis exhibition is generously supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts\, Nancy and Kenneth Kranzberg\, and the Whitaker Foundation. Street Views is generously supported by Gateway Foundation and the Whitaker Foundation. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nJustin Favela: Ruta Madre is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator. \nImage: Justin Favela\, Valley of Oaxaca\, after José María Velasco\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) announces a major solo exhibition of new and existing works by Montréal-based artist Hajra Waheed. Marking the first solo exhibition of Waheed’s work in the United States\, the presentation will include video\, sound installation\, painting\, and works on paper including newly commissioned works. The exhibition offers the first definitive consideration of the artist’s practice in the country and will be accompanied by a major exhibition catalog published by the Museum. Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition will be on view at CAM from September 8\, 2023–February 11\, 2024. \nWaheed’s multidisciplinary practice explores the legacies of colonial and state violence with a uniquely poetic approach and engagement with the world. Weaving between the intimate and infinite constellations of the communities of which she is a part\, her works in the exhibition—while rooted in the historical—imagine new possibilities towards a radically collective future. The artist’s work has been shown internationally and has received major recognition; recently\, Waheed received the 2022 Outstanding Achievement Award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in Ottawa\, Canada and the 2023 Sharjah Biennial 15 Prize in Sharjah\, United Arab Emirates.  \nWaheed’s exhibition will include Hum (2020)\, the artist’s immersive\, 16-channel musical composition and sound installation. Originally commissioned for Lahore Biennale 02 and staged for Portikus in Frankfurt in 2020\, Hum will be re-created by the artist specifically for CAM’s galleries this fall as part of its US debut. This key work\, whose title translates to “We” in Urdu\, reflects on international solidarity movements that emerged in the second half of the 20th century through processes of decolonization in the Global South. The composition features eight hummed songs of resistance from South\, Central\, West Asia\, and Africa. The exhibition will also include a new series of sculptures\, drawings\, and painted works on paper commissioned for this exhibition alongside recent works including video and sculpture.  \nHajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition will be accompanied by a major exhibition publication featuring a conversation between Wassan Al-Khudhairi and the artist as well as guest essays from writer\, translator\, and educator Rayya Badran and writer and editor H.G. Masters. Designed by Marquand Books and distributed by D.A.P.\, the catalog will be published by CAM and released in fall 2023. \nHajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, former Ferring Foundation Chief Curator\, with Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator.\n \nMajor support for Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. This exhibition is generously supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts\, The Strive Fund\, and the Whitaker Foundation. Hum was made possible with the generous support of the Lahore Biennial Foundation and Portikus\, Frankfurt. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nImage: Hajra Waheed\, Hum\, 2020. Multi-channel sound installation with custom speaker casings\, 36 minutes\, 17 seconds.
