Image courtesy The Contemporary Jewish Museum. Photo by JKA Photography. HOUSTON, TX (April 4, 2018)—The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) is #CaryLeibowitzCAMH pleased to present Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show, the first comprehensive career survey #atCAMH and solo museum exhibition of Leibowitz’s work. The exhibition features nearly 350 original @camhouston artworks from 1987 to the present, including paintings, fabric works, multiples, installations, documentation, photography, and ephemera. Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show has an opening reception on the evening of May 11 and will remain on view through August 26, 2018. New York–based artist Cary Leibowitz (b. 1963) creates bold, brightly colored, and comically self-effacing text-based works which draw on both a gay and Jewish perspective in order to address issues of identity, kitsch, modernist critique, and queer politics. Included in the exhibition are paintings that read, “Here I am please don’t be mean” and “I just got a pair of Gucci for Bergdorfs loafers for 50% off and I really do feel better.” A white porcelain fish- shaped dish reads, “Fucked up homo bar-mitzvah gay boy worries too much about what 1 5216 Montrose Boulevard Houston, Texas 77006 CAMH.ORG | #atCAMH Press Release his mother will wear.” Additionally,

As part of the first wave of museums to celebrate moving image work, CMOA played a central role in legitimizing film as an art form, leading a movement that would eventually result in the integration of moving image artworks in museum collections worldwide. The department's active roster of programmingÐfeaturing historical screenings, director's retrospectives, and monthly appearances by experimental filmmakers from around the worldÐwas a leading factor in Pittsburgh's emergence in the 1970s as ªone of the most vibrant and exciting places in America for exploring cinema.º (Robert A. Haller, Crossroads: Avant-garde Film in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, 2005). The museum also served as a galvanizing force in the burgeoning field by increasing visibility and promoting the professionalization of moving image art through its publication of Film and Video Makers Travel Sheet (a monthly newsletter distributed to 2,000 subscribers worldwide) and the Film and Video Makers Directory (a listing of those involved in film and video production and exhibition) and by paying substantial honoraria to visiting filmmakers.

  • Lee Krasner: Living Color
    Press release Opening on September 18 Lee Krasner: Living Color Sponsored by We at Seguros Bilbao would like to welcome you to the exhibition Lee Krasner. Living Color, a vibrant explosion of color and form that resounds with the hopes that we now all place in recovery, within this suspended context in which we have all lived over the last few long months. Art has served to encourage humanity, especially in difficult times, and we believe that specifically the art of Lee Krasner can provide us with inspiration for dealing with the future at a time like this. Incessant creativity and constant reinvention are the hallmarks of this American artist’s work over the course of five decades, summarized in the Museum through a selection of her most emblematic pieces. Although today she is considered one of the most representative figures in American Abstract Expressionism, Krasner did not have it easy. Her status as a woman and the economic hardships of the Great Depression which dominated the US during her formative years turned her wish to become an artist into a fierce struggle. She managed to stand out in painting thanks to her talent, her iron will, and her solid work ethic. Today in Bilbao we can enjoy her astonishing output, which clearly reflects Krasner’s statement of intentions: “I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point.” Without a doubt, the public will be able to take advantage of the unique opportunity provided by this exhibition to appreciate the vitality and organic qualities of her works.

New paradigms are unsettling and artistic breakthroughs can threaten belief systems people hold dear to their understanding of the art world and how it functions. Some of the most distinguished and iconic artists in modem history have found notoriety and recognition through years, even decades, of slowly evolving acceptance into the cultural mainstream. Once labeled charlatans heralding a clear decline in culture, such eminent artists as Theodore Gericault, Edouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Marcel Duchamp incited public fury and scathing criticism in their respective eras for the ground-breaking work they produced.
