SUMMARY:Positive Fragmentation: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Positive Fragmentation: From the Collections of the Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation will feature more than 180 prints by contemporary women artists who employ a strategy of fragmentation in their artistic process. \n\n\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. \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 originally curated by Virginia Treanor\, Associate Curator\, and Kathryn Wat\, Deputy Director for Art\, Programs\, and Public Engagement and Chief Curator at the NWMA. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

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.
