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 contemporary art works which illuminate and reframe the boundaries of bodies and the environment. \n\n\n“By and by all trace is gone\, and what is forgotten is not only the footprints but the water too and what is down there. The rest is weather. Not the breath of the disremembered and unaccounted for\, but wind in the eaves\, or spring ice thawing too quickly. Just weather.” -Toni Morrison \nStrange Weather: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation features contemporary art works which illuminate and reframe the boundaries of bodies and the environment. The artworks included in the exhibition span five decades\, from 1970-2020\, and are 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. \nWeather can refer to both subtle and violent atmospheric conditions in a given place and time. The influential artists in the exhibition utilize a range of aesthetic strategies\, including abstraction\, portraiture\, figurative painting\, landscape\, and installation\, to explore the current atmospheric strangeness. Julie Mehretu’s three prints created as a response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 render abstract an intricate cartography of a rapidly changing climate. Kehinde Wiley’s large-scale painting\, The World Stage: Marechal Floriano Peixoto II\, 2009 monumentalizes issues of identity and nature. Nicola Lopez’s constructed collage monoprints show startlingly dystopian urban landscapes\, with iron structures and vibrant colors. Wendy Red Star’s photographic series\, “Four Seasons\,” links weather patterns to the consumption and commodification of Native American culture. 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. \nArtists include Carlos Almarez\, Carlos Amorales\, Leonardo Drew\, Joe Feddersen\, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds\, James Lavadour\, Nicola Lopez\, Hung Liu\, Julie Mehretu\, Wendy Red Star\, Alison Saar\, Lorna Simpson\, Kiki Smith\, Charles Wilbert White\, Kehinde Wiley\, and Terry Winters. Concurrent with Strange Weather\, a capsule exhibition of the works of Glenn Ligon from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation will be on view. \nStrange Weather is curated by Dr. Rachel Nelson\, director\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, UC Santa Cruz in collaboration with Professor Jennifer González\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, UC Santa Cruz.
