Dumbing Down the Art Museum
by Caroline Lagnado on 17. Jun, 2010 in Art21 Blog, NEWS
A popular article in Tuesday’s New York Times discusses the Brooklyn Museum’s failed efforts at drawing bigger and more serious crowds. This historic museum has tried everything from Saturday night dance parties to exhibitions that sometimes push the boundaries of art. Even its entrance, made from glass, was meant to attract locals. Though it has [...]

Because We Are
by Rhizome.org Announcements on 05. Jun, 2010 in NEWS, Rhizome.org

This exhibition presents the work of 10 distinguished artists who are dealing with issues regarding Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual civil rights. Fundamental concerns include gay marriage, the AIDS crisis, religious and legislative persecution, hate crimes and gay sexuality.
Gay marriage is a controversial issue and a subject that Brooklyn based artist Patricia Cronin personally confronts through her well-known classically sculpted funerary monument Memorial To A Marriage. She also presents her intimate series of erotic watercolors. The AIDS crisis devastated the gay community beginning in the 1980s. Outspoken artists affected by this disease explored its effects in their artwork. One of the most influential figures of this time was New York based artists David Wojnarowicz. His “Untitled”(One Day this Kid…) reveals an intimate narrative that shows how devastating this disease is. More recently, Daniel Goldstein’s Medicine Man approaches AIDS on conceptual level. The suspended human-shaped sculpture consists of steel wire threaded with nearly 300 donated empty HIV medication bottles and 139 syringes. The sculpture is beautiful in spite of its foundation in hopelessness and despair. Arthur Robinson Williams presents intimate portraits of transgendered individuals and couples undergoing physical and emotional transformation in his photographic series My Right Self. Zanele Muholi takes us on a photographic journey through post-apartheid South Africa focusing on the subjective experiences of black lesbians in two of her series Only Half The Picture and Being. The following artists are included in this exhibition:
Eric Avery (Texas)
Patricia Cronin (New York)
Daniel Goldstein (California)
Brian Kenny (New York)
Slava Mogutin (New York)
James Morrison (New York)
Zanele Muholi (South Africa)
Conrad Ventur (New York)
Arthur Robinson Williams (Pennsylvania)
David Wojnarowicz (New York)
These 10 artists express their most intimate feelings and strive for recognition through their own fine art. This exhibition consists of a range of media including sculpture, photography, video, and mixed media. Coinciding with Houston’s Annual Pride Festival, this exhibition shares aesthetic, philosophical, and political views and experiences from a legitimate segment of society.
This exhibition will be on view on view from June 19, 2010 through September 19, 2010. This exhibition was curated by Tim Gonzalez with the help of the staff of the Station Museum.
The Station Museum is open Wed – Sun, 11am – 6pm. The museum is located in Midtown at the corner of Alabama and La Branch. Admission is always free. Please call to schedule tours.
Film screening schedule will be posted on Station Museum website:
