“Always a beguiling social pundit, Olaf Breuning has created an immersive installation of steel sculptures and large photo collages to continue his discerning humor and astute visual language…For Breuning, 25 imposing round collages of his staged photographs model the world we find ourselves in. ”
We will be at Metro Pictures on Thursday, 6/25.
There are two exhibitions that seem interesting in the Chelsea Gallery District on Thursday, 6/25:
Richard Serra’s Equal at David Zwirner:
And Matthew Jensen’s Feels Like Real at Yancey Richardson Gallery:
“Drawn from several seminal projects Jensen has developed over the past six years, the photographs in Feels Like Real weave together ideas about travel, observation, ephemerality, and the landscape. Throughout, the artist acts as a patient observer, moving through the world both physically and virtually, toggling between low and high tech modes of engagement.”
The galleries are a 5 minute walk from each other.
“Largely unexamined in major art historical surveys, either due to their gender or choice of materials, these pioneering women achieved success and international recognition, establishing a model of professional identity for future generations of women.
Featuring more than 100 works, Pathmakers focuses on a core cadre of women—including Ruth Asawa, Edith Heath, Sheila Hicks, Karen Karnes, Dorothy Liebes, Alice Kagawa Parrott, Toshiko Takaezu, Lenore Tawney, and Eva Zeisel—who had impact and influence as designers, artists, and teachers, using materials such as clay, fiber, and metals in innovative ways.”
We will be at MAD on Wednesday, 6/24.
Decided to post links to the exhibitions on view during our trip, and what I’m interested on seeing as a sideline to our class.
“The 2015 centennial of the Department of Asian Art offers an ideal opportunity to explore the history of the Museum’s collection of Japanese art. Showcasing more than two hundred masterworks of every medium, this exhibition tells the story of how the Museum built its comprehensive collection of Japanese art beginning in the early 1880s, when it owned just a small, eclectic array of Japanese decorative arts.”
“Discovering Japanese Art” will be on view in Galleries 223-232. We will be at the Met on Wednesday, 6/24.
This is going to be on view during our trip to the MoMA!
“In 1941, Jacob Lawrence, then just twenty-three years old, completed a series of sixty paintings about the Great Migration, the mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North. Lawrence’s work is a landmark in the history of modern art and a key example of the way that history painting was radically reimagined in the modern era.”
