Art School: Interpreting Sculpture

Education/EducationBlog/ArtSchoolInterpretingSculptureJanuary2012

In January, Art School participants explored the exhibitions David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy and SHERRIE LEVINE: MAYHEM over three sessions. Art School is a studio-based course that aims to introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to trends in contemporary art, and to expand their ideas about what art can be. This month’s program introduced the participants to the complex issues of authorship and originality in Sherrie Levine’s work. During the three-week program, they discussed the works on view in the galleries, experimented with materials, and learned new techniques.

Singular Visions

Exhibitions/SingularVisions

At a time when images barrage us everywhere from our televisions to our mobile phones, the latest reinstallation of the Whitney’s permanent collection galleries invites visitors to slow down and experience art in a dramatic new way. Singular Visions presents twelve highlights from the museum’s holdings, each in its own space, in order to create intimate and compelling encounters with a single work of art. Each piece was chosen to convey a distinct impression and a specific sense of its maker’s vision, whether somber or celebratory, figurative or abstract, quiet or bold. Some of the works on view require their own spaces because they are large or comprise many parts, while others explore difficult topics or emotions that one might wish to consider in relative isolation. Through their variety of mediums, sizes, styles, and subjects, the works in Singular Visions encourage a range of powerful experiences and reveal how artists have stretched the very boundaries of what an artwork can be.

The following artists are currently included in Singular Visions: Jonathan Borofsky, Alexander Calder, Eva Hesse, Matthew Day Jackson, Jasper Johns, Lee Krasner, Len Lye, Agnes Martin, Josephine Meckseper, and Fred Wilson. The following artists were previously included in Singular Visions but have been rotated out and are no longer on view: Eleanor Antin, AA Bronson, Paul Chan, Sarah Charlesworth, Anne Collier, Leon Golub, Robert Grosvenor, Willem de Kooning, Edward Kienholz, Aleksandra Mir, Robert Morris, Ree Morton, Georgia O’Keeffe, James Rosenquist, George Segal, Gary Simmons, and Tom Wesselmann.

Singular Visions is organized by Dana Miller, curator, permanent collection and curator Scott Rothkopf.
