This second exhibition in the New Work series features work by Brooklyn-based sculptor Rachel Harrison in her West Coast debut. Incorporating diverse and unusual materials such as commodity goods, photographs, video images, and lumpy forms coated in cement and bright paint, Harrison’s eccentric sculptures draw upon major artistic movements of the twentieth century, from Pop art to Minimalism. Positioned somewhere between the handmade and the readymade, these hybrid constructions recast the status of sculpture today. In July 2004, SFMOMA reinaugurated the New Work series, which was conceived in 1987 as a means to feature the best and most innovative expressions of contemporary art. Changing three times a year, the series affirms the Museum’s commitment to presenting vital work by the artists of our time. Previous exhibitions have featured artists such as Jasper Johns, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Tatsuo Miyajima, Doris Salcedo, Kara Walker, and Andrea Zittel. Organized by SFMOMA Curatorial Associate Jill Dawsey, New Work: Rachel Harrison will feature four mixed- media sculptures installed on the fifth floor in conjunction with Between Art and Life: The Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Collection, a presentation of post-1960 contemporary art from the Museum’s collection. Hail to Reason (Blue), 2004, is a tall, craggy form covered in lumps and protrusions, painted an iridescent pale blue, and incorporating a package of doilies.

As we move our front door from the bustle of Hennepin Avenue to the green expanse of the Garden, we’re working to make the Walker even more open and responsive to artists and audiences alike. More welcoming: We consider the new main entrance, which opened on Vineland Place this November, as not just a doorway but a welcome mat. Set within the green, rolling landscape of the Wurtele Upper Garden, the new entry beckons visitors from across the street in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with the new restaurant and bar Esker Grove, a new shopping experience, an artist project space featuring a rotating selec- tion of new commissioned work, and the more visible Walker Cinema and renovated Bentson Mediatheque. The green roof above the entry will connect with winding, wheelchair-accessible pathways leading to 11 sculptures, including new works by artists ranging from Aaron Spangler Olga Viso and Nairy Baghramian to longtime favorites by Kinji Akagawa, Franz West, Photo: Chad Holder Alexander Calder, and others.

  • Based Artist Rachel Harrison. the Exhibition Reflects on What It Means to Frame a Subject, in a Time When Subjects Tend to Frame Themselves
    Regen Projects is pleased to present Three Young Framers, an exhibition of new work by New York- based artist Rachel Harrison. The exhibition reflects on what it means to frame a subject, in a time when subjects tend to frame themselves. A group of painted, abstract sculptures will congregate in the gallery, posing with selfie sticks like some sci-fi teen or tourist lifeforms. Metal studs erected in and around the perimeter of Regen Projects will also physically crop and frame the white cube, while nodding to Michael Asher’s 2008 Santa Monica Museum installation. In the back of the room, a reprise of Harrison’s Marilyn with Wall (2004) will be hung on a discarded, former gallery wall. And in a separate space, the artist will debut FOMO (2015), a set of thirty-four iPhone photos documenting footprints left in the snow. The show takes its name from the 1914 photograph by August Sander titled Three farmers on their way to a dance, or Young Farmers, which depicts a trio of German peasants, self-styled in formal suits, walking along a rural path. With his physiognomic photographs, Sander aimed to capture a social type in a moment in time. Harrison’s Three Young Framers, in turn, finds itself at the beginning of the century of the selfie, when the picture’s vantage point is often that of self- absorption, and the man-behind-the-camera is conspicuously absent. Three Young Framers is Rachel Harrison’s second solo presentation with the gallery, and her first since the selfie stick ban in the following locations: Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, TX;

Drawn entirely from the Museum’s collection, the exhibition features more than 300 works made from 1900 to 2016 by an extraordinary range of more than 200 artists, roughly half of whom are living. The show will be organized in twelve thematic sections on two floors of the Museum, with works in all media installed side by side. Floor Six, predominantly focused on art since 1960, opens first, on April 6; Floor Seven, which includes works from the first half of the twentieth century alongside more contemporary offerings, will open on April 27. The exhibition will remain on view through February 12, 2017. Portraits are one of the richest veins of the Whitney’s collection, thanks to the Museum’s longstanding commitment to the figurative tradition, championed by its founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. The works included in this exhibition propose diverse and often unconventional ways of representing an individual.

  • This Exhibition Examines the Responses of Contemporary Artists
    This exhibition examines the responses of contemporary artists to the life and work of Pablo Picasso during the forty years since his death, in which his significance for contemporary artists has been controversial. It addresses the question of whether Picasso continues to be important for contemporary art and considers the variety of ways in which artists are engaging his art. 2nd floor As the 58 works in the galleries demonstrate, contemporary artists have reinterpreted the meanings of Picasso’s oeuvre and liberated Picasso’s legacy from the constraints of past ideologies. These artists freely explore and contest Picasso’s status. They do not perceive Picasso as merely a paradigm of the 20th-century European avant-garde, but interpret him as a polyvalent model for artists worldwide to address the global expansion and diversification of contemporary art in the twenty-first century. 1st floor This exhibition presents the work of 41 artists from around the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America. This diversity reflects the remarkable geographical range of Picasso’s impact on contemporary art as well as the current importance of this engagement, since many of the works were created after 2000. Curator: Michael FitzGerald Ground floor Room Room 1 2 Guernica Cubism Room Room 3 4 Les Demoiselles d’Avignon Blue and Rose Periods Room Room 5 6 Late Work Surrealism Room 1 Guernica The global impact of Guernica (1937) continues to be immense. Since the early 1970s, the mural’s humanitarian theme and public appeal have particularly inspired artists outside Europe and North America to make work that explores the political challenges of their times, such as continuing violence over civilians in armed conflicts or political or military repression.
