SUMMARY:Leonardo Drew: Selections From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Leonardo Drew’s prints\, at once powerfully large yet fragile\, test the versatility of the medium\, transforming cotton paper pulp and pigment into what suggests densely populated cities\, a forest\, or an urban wasteland. Evocative of fire\, soil\, sky\, and water\, there are strong perceptions in both microcosmic and macrocosmic scale. \n\n\nOrganic forms within the composition undulate with various textures and luminosities\, pushing the boundaries of its materiality. Much like his sculptural installations in wood\, Drew starts with a raw material\, transforming and reconstructing its essence until it resembles debris. Through this process\, the artist articulates diverse histories of chaos\, and cycles of birth and death. \nLeonardo Drew: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation includes 26 prints and sculptures from 2005 – 2019. Several examples of the artist’s sculptures will be on view\, including one of Drew’s most recent large scale sculptures\, Number 233 from 2019. Using a variety of off-the-shelf materials (wood\, cardboard\, paint\, paper\, plastic\, rope\, and string) combined with natural materials such as branches or tree trunks\, Drew subjects these elements to processes of oxidation\, burning\, and weathering. These labor-intense manipulations mimic natural processes and transforms these objects into sculptures that address both formal and social concerns\, as well as the cyclical nature of existence.

SUMMARY:The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Featuring more than 100 works in a variety of media from the renowned collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation\, The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer showcases how some of the most prominent artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have considered this universal subject. Organized thematically\, this exhibition uses an artistic lens to examine food beyond its purpose as body fuel. \nIn its most prosaic sense\, food is a physical necessity for survival\, yet its overall significance transcends beyond mere sustenance. Food is integral to our communities\, relationships\, cultures and languages. People interact with food on varying levels. Some of us grow it; more of us buy it. We transform it by cutting\, cooking and dressing it with spices\, marinades and garnishes. We use food as an intermediary to connect with others through holiday meals\, business lunches\, dates and more. We fight over food. We deny food to others as a tool of suppression and cultural erasure. We fear for our health\, feeding a growing global population and the effects of climate change on food production. \n\n\nThrough the works of artists such as Enrique Chagoya\, Damien Hirst\, Hung Liu\, Analia Saban\, Lorna Simpson and Andy Warhol\, it becomes clear why food is a recurring subject in art\, ever since the spark of human creativity was ignited thousands of years ago.

SUMMARY:Strange Weather: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION: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! \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Global Asias: Contemporary Asian & Asian American Art
DESCRIPTION:Global Asias examines the cosmopolitan\, playful\, and subtly subversive characteristics of contemporary Asian and Asian American art. The exhibition highlights the work of fifteen artists of Asian heritage who draw on a rich array of motifs\, techniques\, and cultural motivations to construct diverse “Asias” in a modern global context. \nOrganized by the Palmer Museum of Art in conjunction with the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation\, the exhibition is divided into three thematic sections. “Exuberant Forms” features work that has the potential to reshape conventional views of abstract art—its composition\, palette\, materiality as well as its cultural implications\, expanding and complicating the canonical narrative of abstraction. “Moving Stories” brings together powerful prints and mixed-media works that reflect on the experiences of migration\, both within Asia and beyond. The artists in this section map their own diasporic trajectories\, literally and metaphorically\, and the art compels the viewer to move and to respond to the shifting socio-political realities of time and place. “Asias Reinvented” highlights two- and three-dimensional works that transform styles and techniques of traditional Asian arts in alignment with the vibes of the contemporary and the cosmopolitan. Combined\, the works in Global Asias suggest the plurality and fluidity of “Asia” as cultural construct and creative practice. The exhibition is guest curated by Chang Tan\, Assistant Professor of Art History and Asian Studies at Penn State. The exhibition will go on a national tour after premiering at the Palmer Museum of Art. \n\n\nList of Artists in Global Asias \nKwang Young Chun\nJacob Hashimoto\nManabu Ikeda\nJun Kaneko\nDinh Q.

SUMMARY:Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick
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\, 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.

Drawing on the collections of Jordan D.

Whether working in lithography\, woodcut\, or etching\, the medium of print has served for Watt as a laboratory for large-scale pieces and concepts. In each of her prints Watt demonstrates a tactile appreciation for the particular qualities of wood\, copper\, or stone\, aiming to achieve in her words a “familiarity and intimacy” with the material that adds a layer of thematic resonance to her work. \n\nImage: Marie Watt\, Skywalker/Skyscraper\n2022\, reclaimed blankets\, reclaimed cedar\, steel I-beam.\n100 x 30 x 30 inches.\nCollection of the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation.\nPhoto: Kevin McConnell.

SUMMARY:Positive Fragmentation: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:For many artists\, the act of creation begins with one of destruction as they dissect shape\, color\, perspective\, text\, idea\, or stereotype. For some\, the result is enough: pulling apart and fragmenting images and ideas exposes what lies beneath or heralds the inherent value of each part. Other artists assemble fragments to create a new whole defined by its different parts. This exhibition explores the impulses that drive these creative approaches in the work of contemporary artists. \nPositive Fragmentation: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation includes over 180 prints drawn from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation\, each a work by a contemporary artist who employs fragmentation in different ways.

SUMMARY:Louise Bourgeois: What is the Shape of This Problem
DESCRIPTION:Although best known for her profound sculptures of monumental spiders\, evocative human figures\, and fleshly anthropomorphic forms\, Louise Bourgeois maintained a prolific drawing and writing practice and an ongoing interest in illustrated books and printmaking throughout the course of her long career. Louise Bourgeois: What is the Shape of This Problem presents 119 works with a focus on prints\, textiles\, and a series of eight holograms\, ranging in date from the 1940s to the early 2000s. These works build on the raw emotional terrain of Bourgeois’ practice\, and explore feelings of isolation\, anger\, and fear through the recurring depiction of the body\, childhood\, family\, architecture\, and the passage of time. \nBourgeois described her relationship to making art as one of survival and dependence; she experienced a lifelong struggle with trauma and anxiety which was appeased only by the outward expression of her own artistic and written production. She openly acknowledged her vulnerability because it gave her purpose\, and the work born from that purpose gave form to her particular kind of suffering. In relation to this condition of living and working Bourgeois aptly coined the now famous phrase: “Art is a guarantee of sanity.” \n\n\nBourgeois was keenly sensitive to the power of language when combined with image. She had a prolific writing practice her entire life\, with her most active periods occurring in the 1950s and 1960s while she underwent psychoanalysis. Her writing is honest\, poetic\, and often autobiographical. Read alongside the entirety of her work\, these words depict an individual in crisis\, a running narrative of a woman struggling with the pressures and expectations of being a daughter\, a wife\, a mother\, and an artist. \n“What is the shape of this problem?” is a question presented on the opening page of a series of nine letterpress diptychs of image and text produced by Bourgeois in 1999 and in many ways it is a poignant frame for this exhibition. This question\, like much of the text used in her prints\, positions these works within Bourgeois’ multi-layered practice of identifying and bravely exploring her personal history\, her creative process\, and her mental health. These words boldly place suffering and making parallel to each other\, suggesting that abstract emotions can\, and should\, be given form. It is this acknowledgment that provides the balance of her creative practice and life\, an entwined dependence that makes the work of Louise Bourgeois artistically and emotionally intelligent. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation and the Esker Foundation. It is curated by Naomi Potter\, Director/Chief Curator\, Esker Foundation\, Calgary\, Canada. \n\nImage courtesy of USC Fisher Museum of Art\, Photo: Peter Perigo

SUMMARY:John Buck: Prints and Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:John Buck (American\, b. 1946) is a nationally recognized Montana artist who has created a large and powerful body of woodblock prints and wood sculptures over the past four decades. Drawn from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation\, this major exhibition features 30 prints and 8 sculpture that span a forty-year period. \nBorn in Ames\, Iowa in 1948\, John Buck earned his BFA degree from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1968 and his MFA degree at the University of California\, Davis in 1972\, where he studied with artists Robert Arneson\, Roy DeForest\, Manuel Neri\, and William T. Wiley. A virtuoso draftsman and imaginative sculptor\, Buck explores national and global issues in sophisticated works of art that are imbued with complex iconography and often layered with multiple meanings. \n\n\nBuck’s art demonstrates an exceptional insight and perspective on the social and political realities of the day. It often explores the enormity and complexity of conflict\, yet his figures are whimsical and resilient. Buck manages to make provocative “issues” art\, treating the conflict seriously\, while his combination of symbols and figures display a sense of humor\, and therefore an optimistic balance. \nOver the years\, Buck has become fascinated with the cultural imagery surrounding his homes in Montana and Hawaii\, current events\, popular culture\, and the irony and humor found in world history and this collected visual vocabulary is woven throughout his printed and sculptural work.

SUMMARY:Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt
DESCRIPTION:Marie Watt (Seneca\, b. 1967) is one of the country’s most celebrated contemporary artists whose work draws on personal experience\, indigenous traditions\, proto-feminism\, mythology and art history. Drawing on the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation and the University of San Diego\, Marie Watt Prints will present a mid-career retrospective of Watt’s work as a printmaker\, accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. \nOver the course of her career\, residencies at the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts\, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology\, and the Tamarind Institute have afforded Watt the opportunity to collaborate with master printers in producing ambitious print series. Whether working in lithography\, woodcut\, or etching\, the medium of print has served for Watt as a laboratory for large-scale pieces and concepts. In each of her prints Watt demonstrates a tactile appreciation for the particular qualities of wood\, copper\, or stone\, aiming to achieve in her words a “familiarity and intimacy” with the material that adds a layer of thematic resonance to her work.

SUMMARY:Positive Fragmentation
DESCRIPTION:Positive Fragmentation: From the Collections of the Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation features more than 180 prints by contemporary women artists who employ a strategy of fragmentation in their artistic process. \nSome of the works focus their attention on the human body\, as in Louise Bourgeois’s Anatomy series (1990) or Wangechi Mutu’s Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumors (2006). The later combines glossy fashion magazine photographs with medical illustrations to reimagine patriarchal stereotypes as powerful female avatars who stare back at oppressive social norms. Other artists like Nicola López and Sarah Morris leverage their experiences of the contemporary city to rearrange elements of the urban landscape to better capture the vibrancy of daily life. With a highly conceptual approach\, Jenny Holzer’s Inflammatory Essays (1979–82) isolates fragments of bold and sometimes confrontational statements to subvert the rigid ideologies from which they borrow. \n\n\nA notable strength of the exhibition is its focus on women artists of color who have been underrepresented in the museum’s permanent collections and in its exhibition program. Artists like Mickalene Thomas challenge historical narratives by creating compositions that echo those of nineteenth-century European painters but through wholly novel techniques and media\, combining woodblock\, screen-printing\, and digital photography. Wendy Red Star\, an indigenous American artist of the Crow Nation\, creates colorful\, often playful prints that nonetheless convey the struggles of indigenous marginalization and the legacy of European colonization on the continent by combining appropriated indigenous motifs with images of everyday life on the reservation. Ethiopian-born Julie Mehretu creates large-scale abstract compositions that speak to the traditions of European and American abstraction while compounding these histories with contemporary global concerns regarding climate change and migration. \nDerived from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation—one of the largest private print collections in the world—the exhibition is presented by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NWMA) in partnership with the American University Art Museum. It was curated by Virginia Treanor\, Associate Curator\, and Kathryn Wat\, Deputy Director for Art\, Programs\, and Public Engagement and Chief Curator at the NWMA. At the Eskenazi Museum\, the exhibition is co-organized by Elliot Reichert\, Curator of Contemporary Art\, and Galina Olmsted\, Assistant Curator of European and American Art. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
