Through August 15, 2019

McEwen’s artwork, Chocked Rim, 2019, will be displayed in the Glass House. In 1951, two years after the completion of the Glass House, Philip Johnson curated an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art entitled 8 Automobiles, celebrating cars as artworks. McEwen’s Chocked Rim is a machined graphite version of a standard car wheel: an object formed by function, utility, and necessity. Here the rim invokes the aesthetics of engineering, appearing as pure structure, a fetish of modernist architecture.

Kennedy, a time often called “Camelot.” As the decade unfolded, more artists turned to criticism of the Vietnam War and tragedies such as the shooting at Kent State University in 1970. See how artists such as Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Corita Kent, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol embraced everyday mass-produced goods and commercial techniques to create artworks that both critique and celebrate mass media and popular culture.

With more than 40 Impressionist and post-Impressionist treasures, this exhibition explores the pioneering work of leading artists of the period, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Berthe Morisot. It also celebrates the life and vision of Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., who saw in the art of these late nineteenth-century avant-gardists, especially that of Claude Monet, evocations of values and ideas that were close to his own heart, capturing the ephemerality of the everyday experience while dignifying hard work, simple pleasures, and ordinary people.
Humble and Human: Impressionist Era Treasures from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Detroit Institute of Arts, an Exhibition in Honor of Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York. The exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation. This exhibition is a part of the Bonnie Ann Larson Modern European Masters Series.

Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress
Through September 9, 2019
The first North American retrospective dedicated to German artist Charlotte Posenenske (1930–1985) premieres this spring at Dia:Beacon. Marking the most comprehensive exploration of the artist’s work since her death, Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress highlights the entirety of Posenenske’s intensely productive twelve-year practice, before she turned away from making art to study the sociology of labor. Spanning her earliest experiments with mark making and drawing, to her transitional wall reliefs, to her final modular sculptural projects, the exhibition includes original prototypes for her sculptures as well as more than 150 newly fabricated elements. These works are on view at Dia:Beacon in site-responsive displays from March 8 to September 9, 2019.

Lee Ufan
Opens May 5, 2019
This spring, Dia Art Foundation mounts a major of early sculpture by Lee Ufan, a pioneer of the Mono-ha movement that first emerged in Japan in the late 1960s. Developed in close association with the artist, the exhibition reveals Lee’s desire to present the world “as-it-is,” through the relationships between natural and man-made materials and encounters between objects, viewers, and space. The exhibition features five large-scale works, including three recently acquired installations Relatum (formerly System, 1969), Relatum (formerly Language, 1971), and Relatum (1974). At Dia:Beacon, Lee’s work will be placed within the context of his peers who developed Minimal, Postminimal, and Land art practices contemporaneously, such as Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, Robert Smithson, and Michelle Stuart, tracing the formal, material, and conceptual relationships between these artists in Dia’s galleries for the first time. Opening on May 5, 2019, the exhibition will be on view for two years, encouraging long-term public and scholarly engagement with Lee’s work.

Sam Gilliam
Opens August, 2019
One of the most important figures in American abstract art, Sam Gilliam emerged from the Washington, DC, cultural scene in the 1960s alongside Anne Truitt. Setting himself apart stylistically from Washington Color School painters such as Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland, Gilliam experimented with vibrantly colored, draped, and suspended canvases. These pioneering Drape paintings moved his canvases from the frame and wall into three-dimensional space, imparting a sculptural element to the installations and allowing them to become site-specific. Unique to each space, the soft folds of canvas may not be draped the same way twice. At Dia, Gilliam’s large free-standing canvas installations will fill an entire gallery.

Death is Irrelevant: Selections from the Marc and Livia Straus Collection, 1975-2018
Through July 28, 2019
Like Prometheus, who shaped men out of mud, and Athena, who breathed life into these figures, do sculptures created in our image suggest a will to exist? Are they a form of self-preservation, a reflection of their creator’s environment, or a grasp at immortality? Death Is Irrelevant examines these questions through the presentation of figurative sculpture from the Marc and Livia Straus Collection. Featuring works created over a forty-year period (1975–2018) from seventeen different countries, it is a contemporary examination of our timeless inclination to recreate ourselves, explore fragility and mortality, and consider what it means to be alive.

The series of collaborative works, executed from 1984–85, sparked conversations between the two artists that are visible on canvas—a visual language all their own that revitalized Warhol’s engagement with painting.

Through September 1, 2019
Kamau Amu Patton’s Tel_ is an archive. Tel_ is an open document, a conversation, a dialogic construct. The project aims to question how the nature of memory has changed in relation to the encroachment of cyberspace, telematics, and transmission technologies. Over the course of the long-running installation, Patton will use the space to stage a program of dialogues and workshops, and to develop a series of actions in conversation with objects in the museum collection to produce document objects (photos, books, essays) as well as an archive of actions (video and audio recordings of conversations with and about objects).

August 10, 2019–January 5, 2020

Helen Marie (“Ree”) Reilly studied nursing at Skidmore College from 1953 to 1956 and left to marry and start a family. As a mother of three, she started taking art classes and moved to New York in the early ‘70s to participate in the feminist and post-minimalist art movements. By 1977, the year of her untimely death, she had produced a remarkable body of work that has influenced generations of artists but has remained widely under-recognized. sense.

Sonya Clark: Monumental Clot, The Flag We Should Know
Through August 4, 2019
In the spring of 1865, a seemingly unremarkable dishcloth played a crucial role in ending the Civil War as the South's flag of surrender at Appomattox. In Monumental Cloth, The Flag We Should Know, textile and social practice artist Sonya Clark debuts six new works across two floors at The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Focusing specifically on this Confederate Flag of Truce, the exhibition explores the legacy of symbols and challenges the power of propaganda, erasures, and omissions. By making the Truce Flag – a cloth that brokered peace and represented the promise of reconciliation – into a monumental alternative to the infamous Confederate Battle Flag and its pervasive divisiveness, Clark instigates a role reversal and aims to correct a historical imbalance. The Fabric Workshop and Museum is housed in a former flag factory, a particularly fitting place to ask questions about the symbolic power cloth can hold in the consciousness of our nation. Monumental Cloth, The Flag We Should Know is a timely catalyst for dialogue about the scars of the Confederacy and America's ability to acknowledge and reckon with racial injustice. 

Bill Viola: The Veiling
June 26–October 6, 2019
The Veiling is one of five video and sound installations that Bill Viola produced to occupy the five rooms of the US Pavilion during the 46th Venice Biennale in 1995. Through a collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Viola created a system of nine sheer scrims that catch the light from two video projections. Images of a man and a woman can be seen slowly walking toward each other, passing through the scrims, and merging at the center before moving apart again. This ghostly action, repeating over and over, becomes hypnotic. Like much of Viola’s work, The Veiling has a dreamlike quality and suggests the multiplicity of experience that exists both in our own thoughts and our understanding of our interaction with another human being.
