No. 659: Barbara Bosworth, Haas Brothers

Episode No. 659 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artists Barbara Bosworth and the Haas Brothers.

Two art museums are showing exhibitions of Bosworth’s work: the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is presenting “Barbara Bosworth: The Meadow” through December 1. The show features photographs of a meadow in Carlisle, Massachusetts and near the Concord River that Bosworth made over 15 years, pictures that investigate time, human presence, and nature. The exhibition was curated by Karen Haas. In 2015 Radius Books published a book of Bosworth’s “The Meadow” pictures accompanied by texts by poet Margot Anne Kelley.

“Barbara Bosworth: Sun Light Moon Shadow” is at the Cleveland Museum of Art through June 30. The exhibition offers Bosworth’s photographs of light, including eclipses, sunrises, and sunsets, many of which were made near Bosworth’s childhood home in eastern Ohio. It was curated by Barbara Tannenbaum.

The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas is showing “Haas Brothers: Moonlight” through August 25. The exhibition, which highlights the fusion of art, design, and technology in the brothers’ practice, shows work made by twin brothers Nikolai and Simon Haas both inside and outside the museum. The Haas Brothers have previously had solo exhibitions at the Katonah (NY) Museum of Art, the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, Ga., and at the Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, Fla.
