With the holidays past, this weekend is a big one for art events. One of the most interesting programs is at the Brooklyn Museum, where Mickalene Thomas and Carrie Mae Weems will hold a public conversation with Brooklyn curator Eugenie Tsai.
A major retrospective of Weems’ work is at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville through Jan. 13, at which point it will travel around the country. “Origin of the Universe,” a survey exhibition of Mickalene Thomas’s work, is at the Brooklyn Museum through Jan. 20. It’s an expanded version of the show that debuted at the Santa Monica Museum of Art this past summer. Don’t miss Roberta Smith’s smart NYT review of the Brooklyn show.
Thomas was the lead guest on Episode No. 30 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast. We discussed her art, her interest in art history and how her relationship with her mother has fed her work. If you’re interested in the art and themes in the Brooklyn show, you’ll love the podcast. Weems was the top guest on Episode No. 47, which is here.

(Bonus! The photo of Thomas above provides a neat tie-in to this week’s MAN Podcast, which features Carrie Mae Weems. Thomas’s t-shirt — click here to see the large version of the picture and then scroll down a bit — puts Thomas and artists of her generation, including Kara (Walker) and Wangechi (Mutu) in the context of the previous generation of black women artists, including Lorna (Simpson) and Weems.)
