SUMMARY:Making Knowing: Craft in Art\, 1950–2019
DESCRIPTION:Making Knowing: Craft in Art\, 1950–2019 foregrounds how visual artists have explored the materials\, methods\, and strategies of craft over the past seven decades. Some expand techniques with long histories\, such as weaving\, sewing\, or pottery\, while others experiment with textiles\, thread\, clay\, beads\, and glass\, among other mediums. The traces of the artists’ hands-on engagement with their materials invite viewers to imagine how it might feel to make each work. \nWhile artists’ reasons for taking up craft range widely\, many aim to subvert prevalent standards of so-called “fine art\,” often in direct response to the politics of their time.  \nIn challenging accepted ideas of taste—whether by embracing the decorative or turning away from traditional painting and sculpture in favor of functional items like bowls or blankets—these artists reclaim visual languages that have typically been coded as feminine\, domestic\, or vernacular. By highlighting marginalized modes of artistic production\, these artists challenge the power structures that determine artistic value. \nThis exhibition provides new perspectives on subjects that have been central to artists\, including abstraction\, popular culture\, feminist and queer aesthetics\, and recent explorations of identity and relationships to place. Together\, the works demonstrate that craft-informed techniques of making carry their own kind of knowledge\, one that is crucial to a more complete understanding of the history and potential of art. \nDrawn primarily from the Whitney’s collection\, the exhibition will include over eighty works by more than sixty artists\, including Ruth Asawa\, Eva Hesse\, Mike Kelley\, Liza Lou\, Ree Morton\, Howardena Pindell\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Elaine Reichek\, and Lenore Tawney\, as well as featuring new acquisitions by Shan Goshorn\, Kahlil Robert Irving\, Simone Leigh\, Jordan Nassar\, and Erin Jane Nelson. \nMaking Knowing: Craft in Art\, 1950–2019 is curated by Jennie Goldstein\, assistant curator\, and Elisabeth Sherman\, assistant curator\, with Ambika Trasi\, curatorial assistant. \nSupport for Making Knowing: Craft in Art\, 1950–2019 is provided by the Lenore G. Tawney Foundation. \nPhoto: Liza Lou\, Kitchen\, 1991-96. Beads\, plaster\, wood and found objects\, 96 × 132 × 168 in. (243.8 × 335.3 × 426.7 cm).

SUMMARY:Experiments On Stone: Four Women Artists From The Tamarind Lithography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection\, Experiments on Stone: Four Women Artists from the Tamarind Lithography Workshop explores the prints produced by a group of artists at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. Anni Albers\, Ruth Asawa\, Gego\, and Louise Nevelson each completed two-month fellowships at Tamarind during the 1960s. Though they did not overlap with one another during their residencies\, the connective thread between their varied bodies of work is the workshop itself.  \nView exhibition > \nFounded by artist June Wayne in 1960\, Tamarind was conceived to fill a void in the output of prints produced by artists in the United States. The workshop was an essential site for experimentation and collaboration between artists and printers in Los Angles in the 1960s. Emphasizing collaboration\, innovation\, professionalization\, and training\, Tamarind served as a site for artists and printers alike to revive the medium of lithography in the United States\, a technique which had dwindled just after mid-century due to economic pressures and the lack of master printers and print shops. Under the directorship of Wayne\, several women artists were given the space to create and further the medium of lithography with unprecedented access to studio space and printers.  \nThese four artists all worked primarily in media outside of printmaking for a majority of their careers—Albers is known for her textiles and weaving while Asawa\, Gego\, and Nevelson each developed unique sculptural practices. The fellowship at Tamarind proved to be a fruitful period for developing each of their practices\, using lithography to work through their three-dimensional concerns and ideas on a two-dimensional surface. Situating these lithographs alongside sculptural or textile examples\, this exhibition places this period of work in direct dialogue with each artist’s larger œuvre. Experiments on Stone explores each artist’s distinct inquiry into printmaking\, underscoring the importance of this experimental time in each of the artists’ respective careers. \nExperiments on Stone: Four Women Artists from the Tamarind Lithography Workshop is organized by MCASD Assistant Curator Alana Hernandez and made possible by gifts to the annual operating fund. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund. \nThis exhibition is part of the Feminist Art Coalition\, a national platform for art projects that seek to generate cultural awareness of feminist thought\, experience\, and action. Working collectively\, art museums and nonprofit institutions from across the United States will present concurrent events beginning in the fall of 2020. \nPhoto: Desert Plant\n1965\, Color Lithograph\, 18 1/2 × 18 1/2in.

SUMMARY:Artist's Choice: Yto Barrada—A Raft
DESCRIPTION:In A Raft\, Yto Barrada—an artist known for her multidisciplinary investigations of cultural phenomena and historical narratives—explores how artworks can provide models for reimagining relationships and alternative ways of being in our world. \nIn this latest iteration of MoMA’s Artist’s Choice exhibition series\, Barrada has gathered works from the Museum’s collection that resonate with the ideas and work of French social work pioneer and writer Fernand Deligny (1913–1996). Barrada’s exploration centers on Deligny’s work from the late 1960s\, when he lived together with other volunteers and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in an informal network in rural France; this was an attempt to create a new way of living “outside language\,” adapted for the nonverbal children. Deligny called this independent project “a raft\,” envisioning it as lightweight and maneuverable\, and requiring constant maintenance—an alternative to the “cargo ships” of the psychiatric institutions. Particularly resonant today\, Deligny’s emancipatory ideas are being rediscovered widely\, by philosophers\, psychoanalysts\, anthropologists\, filmmakers\, and artists. \nRenewed interest in Deligny’s life’s work is largely due to his publishers Sandra Alvarez de Toledo and Anaïs Masson\, Barrada’s longtime friends with whom she has collaborated closely on this exhibition. For Barrada\, “Deligny’s search for new maps and modes of being represent a vital heritage for artists.” In bringing together selected works by artists including Anni Albers\, Vito Acconci\, Louise Bourgeois\, Lygia Clark\, David Hammons\, and Bruce Nauman with films\, maps\, writing\, and photographs that document Deligny’s revolutionary project\, Barrada invites us to consider art in relationship to language in ways that might inspire us elsewhere in our lives. \n    Organized by Yto Barrada with Lucy Gallun\, Associate Curator\, and River Encalada Bullock\, Beaumont & Nancy Newhall Curatorial Fellow\, Department of Photography. \nMoMA is open daily\, from 10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.\nWe are open until 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

SUMMARY:Women in Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Women in Abstraction aims to trace a lesser-told history of art primarily from the 20th and 21st centuries by focusing on the contribution of women artists to abstraction. The exhibition includes over 100 artists working across disciplines\, such as dance\, applied arts\, photography\, film\, and performance art from Latin America\, the Middle East and Asia\, Europe\, and the United States in order to tell an expansive and complex story with many voices. \nMany exhibitions dealing with abstraction underestimate the fundamental role played by women in the development of this movement. By focusing on the paths of artists\, some of whom were unfairly ignored\, the exhibition proposes another history. Women in Abstraction brings to light the decisive turning points that have marked this movement\, evoking both the research undertaken by artists\, individually or as a group\, and the founding exhibitions. \nExhibition organized by the Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.\nWith the support of the Terra Foundation for American Art. \nThe exhibition was conceived by Christine Macel\, Chief Curator at the Centre Pompidou\, and Karolina Lewandowska\, Director of the Museum of Warsaw in addition to Curator of Photography\, and organized in collaboration with Lekha Hileman Waitoller\, Curator at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. \n12€ Adults – 6€ Senior – 6€ Students\nFrom 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  \nImage: Sonia Delaunay\nElectric Prisms (Prismes électriques)\, 1914\nOil on canvas\n250 x 250 cm\nPurchased by the State\, 1958\nAttributed\, 1958\nCentre Pompidou Collection\, Paris\, Musée national d’Art moderne – Centre de création industrielle\nImage © Centre Pompidou\, MNAM-CCI/ Philippe Migeat/\nDist.
