Posts tagged MoMA

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Joyce Pensato. The Santa Monica Museum of Art is currently showing “I Killed Kenny,” a survey of Pensato’s work. Curated by Jeffrey Uslip, the exhibition will be on view through August 17.

This is Pensato’s first solo museum show. She’s been the focus of a three-person show at the Saint Louis Art Museum (with Mike Kelley and Raymond Pettibon), at the Wexner Center for the Arts and more. Her work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA, the Hammer Museum and the Dallas Museum of Art, among others.

This is a detail of Pensato’s 2004 charcoal drawing Felix, which is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. On this week’s program, host Tyler Green and Pensato discuss her long-time interest in drawing.

On the second segment, Alexander Dumbadze discusses the life of Bas Jan Ader and his new book, “Bas Jan Ader: Death is Elsewhere.” It was published by the University of Chicago Press. It is the most significant book on Ader’s life and work published to date. Dumbadze teaches art history at The George Washington University in Washington.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Julie Mehretu. She is currently exhibiting new work at two venues: New York’s Marian Goodman Gallery (through June 22) and London’s White Cube (through July 7).

On this week’s MAN Podcast, host Tyler Green asked Mehretu about the influence of Cy Twombly on her work. (In a post earlier today, MANPodcast.com looked at the importance of Twombly’s Fifty Days at Iliam to Mehretu.) Mehretu said that yes, Twombly was important to her and she and Green discussed several ways in which she’d worked and thought her way through Twombly. 

Green didn’t suggest that there was a direct relationship between these Twombly ‘blackboard paintings’ and Mehretu’s work, but he asked her if she’d learned from what painter Elyn Zimmerman described as Twombly’s ‘weather systems.’

Mehretu and Green discussed paintings such as these, from top: Twombly’s Untitled (1970) at The Menil Collection, Mehretu’s Invisible Sun (Algorithm) (2012), a detail from that painting, Twombly’s Untitled (1970) at the Museum of Modern Art, and Mehretu’s Chimera (2013). Clicking on any of the images will expand them to 1000px. Listen to the show to hear Green and Mehretu’s conversation!

Here are all five of Donald Judd’s multicolored floor pieces. (A sixth floor piece, in ‘blank’ galvanized iron, is at the Tate.) One of them, the version in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, is included in “Donald Judd: The Multicolored Works” at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts through January 4. Exhibition curator Marianne Stockebrand is this week’s guest on The Modern Art Notes Podcast.

“The Multicolored Works” is the first museum exhibition to focus on Judd’s use of color, and more specifically Judd’s use of color in the 1980s, when he discovered a process that enabled a new kind of sculpture. It includes 23 Judd sculptures as well as works on paper and collages from the collection of the Judd Foundation that reveal Judd’s creative process. The gorgeous exhibition is a shoo-in to rank highly on critics’ year-end top-ten lists.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Eric Fischl. His new memoir “Bad Boy,” co-written with Michael Stone, has just been published by Crown. In the book, Fischl talks about growing up on Long Island, his mother’s alcoholism and suicide, his discovery of art, his meteoric rise in the New York art world during the cocaine-fueled 1980s, how he was motivated to become sober and how his travels and life experiences have fueled his work in the decades since.

The first painting is Fischl’s 2000 The Bed, The Chair, Jet Lag, one of his best paintings of the 2000s.On this week’s MAN Podcast, Fischl and host Tyler Green discuss this painting, its light, that marvelous chair and its relationship to Andre Derain’s great 1907 Bathers at the Museum of Modern Art.

Here’s a first look at The Phillips Collection’s new Wolfgang Laib wax room! It opened over this past weekend. (See the full image on the Phillips’ website and read more here.)

Episode No. 63 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast featured Laib talking with host Tyler Green about the two major pieces he’s installed in the U.S. this winter: Pollen from Hazelnut in the atrium at the Museum of Modern Art, and the Phillips piece. At 18-by-21 feet, the MoMA installation is the largest pollen field Laib has made. The Phillips’ Laib Wax Room, a new permanent installation, is the first permanent installation at the Phillips since the museum opened its famed Rothko Room in 1960.

Episode No. 60 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast featured one of the best exhibitions of recent years: Museum of Modern Art curator Leah Dickerman’s “Inventing Abstraction 1910-1925: How a Radical Idea Changed Modern Art.” It’s at MoMA through April 15. 

The show excavates the origins of abstraction — both in Europe and in America — and tells the story of how networks between artists and a new age of communication and inter-disciplinary practice and awareness helped fuel experimentation.

Dickerman is one of America’s top curators of modern art. Her 2006 exhibition “Dada: Zurich, Berlin, Hannover, Cologne, New York, Paris” was one of the best and most important shows of recent years. More recently, she organized “Diego Rivera: Murals for The Museum of Modern Art” (2011), which she also discussed here on The MAN Podcast.

One of the topics Dickerman and host Tyler Green discussed is how Dickerman’s show is a more inclusive history of the period than many recent shows — especially because it includes many more women, such as Natalia Goncharova (shown here).
