Episode No. 712 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Julian Hoeber and curator María Elena Ortiz.
Hoeber is included in “Generations: 150 Years of Sculpture” at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas. The exhibition offers a new selection of works from the Nasher collection that offers conversations between works from the past and present.
Hoeber’s practice centers perception and searches for ways to exceed and reconcile limits set by binary ideas such as interior and exterior, or psychic and somatic. Paradoxically, he often uses binary systems, such as stereoscopic vision, in his work. His exhibition credits include Desert X 2019, a Hammer Projects show in 2010, and gallery shows in San Francisco, New York, Milan, Los Angeles, London, and more. His work is in the collection of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Hammer Museum, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City.
Ortiz is the curator of “Feeling Color: Aubrey Williams and Frank Bowling” at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. “Feeling Color” pairs the work of two Guyanese artists and considers their roles in the history of late-twentieth-century abstract painting. “Feeling Color” is on view through July 27. A catalogue was published by the museum.
