January | April 2020 IMPRESSIONS A MEMBER MAGAZINE FROM THE DIRECTOR This spring, beauty is in bloom across the McNay’s growing 25-acre campus, indoors and out. From three new outdoor sculptures to a peek inside the beautiful mind of theatre arts visionary Robert L. B. Tobin, we are redefining the art museum experience and bringing your stories to life through video art, rare Goya prints, fashion, community partnerships, and more.

We kick off the year in style with a timely tribute to the 1990s inFashion Nirvana: Runway to Everyday, an immersive installation of video art and garments, all from the influential decade. Recently, the world honored the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which ushered in a new era of hope, freedom, opportunity, and individuality. In response, the 90s became a golden age of culture across the US, defined by innovative video, music, and the fashion of Gianni Versace, Isaac Mizrahi, and Vera Wang. Co-organized with the Fashion Collection at the University of North Texas, Fashion Nirvana brings us back to an iconic time in our recent history and pushes the artistic boundaries of the museum experience along the way.

McNay reinvention continues beyond our walls and onto our sprawling outdoor galleries as progress is made on Phase I of our transformative Landscape Master Plan. As we realize the vision of a more open and accessible museum, we create even more opportunities to engage our community through a growing world-renowned collection.

As a treasured member of the McNay family, you have supported our continued commitment to innovation, inclusion, and accessibility as we redefine beauty for all South Texans. Thanks to you, more and more San Antonians see themselves and their stories here.

Yours most sincerely,

Richard Aste Director

OUR MISSION The McNay Art Museum engages a diverse community in the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts.

Fashion Nirvana features over 50 runway to everyday garments by famous designers Christian Dior, Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier, Carolina Herrera, Patrick Kelly, Isaac Mizrahi, Todd Oldham, Oscar de la Renta, Vivienne Tam, Gianni Versace, Vera Wang, and more.

24TH ANNUAL MCNAY PRINT FAIR Saturday, March 7, 10 AM–5 PM Sunday, March 8, Noon–5 PM Leeper Auditorium Free with Museum admission

The McNay Print Fair is the only event of its kind in the Southwest. More than a dozen dealers from around the US bring thousands of prints, drawings, watercolors, and photographs to show and sell over the course of the two-day fair. Participating dealers have something for every taste and budget, from old master prints to contemporary drawings and photography.

Over the years, the McNay Print Fair has placed high quality art in the homes of our community, providing San Antonio with a solid and growing collector base. We look forward to having you at our 24th annual event! #McNayPrintFair

8 K-12 ARTISTS SPOTLIGHT SUE FULLER The McNay is excited to announce the featured 2019–20 Spotlight artwork, String Composition #W-253 by Sue Fuller. The growing Spotlight program invites students to learn about the artist, study the artwork, and ultimately make something new inspired by this site-specific sculpture. A masterpiece of art and engineering, the artwork contains 400 pins, 1,000 screws, and 2,000 feet of nautical cord. String Composition #W- 253 was commissioned by the McNay for the Tobin Theatre Arts Gallery where it has been on view since 1984.

Student responses to the 2018–19 Spotlight program focusing on Diego Rivera’s Delfina Flores remain on view in the Patio Gallery through May 10, 2020. Learn more at mcnayart.org/spotlight.

Major support of Spotlight is provided by Rackspace, Semmes Foundation, Inc., and Texas Commission on the Arts.

NEW OUTDOOR SCULPTURE This spring the McNay welcomes three new outdoor sculptures to the grounds by artists Willie Cole, Alejandro Martín, and Tom Wesselmann.

Willie Cole’s upbringing by both his mother and grandmother had a lasting impact on his work and can be seen through his continued use of shoes, hairdryers, and irons in his sculptures. The Sole Sitter combines the forms of several large high- heeled shoes to create a sitting figure reminiscent of traditional masks of the Luba people, a large Bantu-speaking group from Central Africa.

Museum purchase with funds from the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts.

Alejandro Martín is an emerging artist currently living and working in Mexico City. Martín’s metal sculptures are informed by digital symbols of his generation. Bold, larger-than-life hashtags feature prominently in his artworks alongside asterisks and block figures that seem to emerge from a Minecraft© game.

Museum purchase with funds from Carolyn and Allan Paterson.

Tom Wesselmann was one of the leading American Pop artists of the 1960s. Wesselmann explored classical representations of the nude, still life, and landscape while incorporating everyday objects and images from advertising. About his artwork, Wesselmann stated, “The prime mission of my art, in the beginning, and continuing still, is to make figurative art as exciting as abstract ar t.”

9 VIEW & VOTE ACQUISITION At the 17th annual View & Vote acquisition event, the McNay Contemporary Collectors Forum (MCCF) selected two works of video art to purchase for the Museum’s collection, one by Jennifer Steinkamp and another by Martine Gutierrez.

Steinkamp’s Botanic 3 (2015) features computer generated flowers blown by an unseen force. As the plants drift across the screen and collide with one another, they burst into seeds, twigs, leaves, and petals. The animations loop forward and back—transitioning between breaking apart and coming back together—eliminating any notion of narrative and mesmerizing viewers.

In Clubbing (2012), Gutierrez dances on screen as multiple characters, both male and female, to playfully explore self-transformation and subvert gender tropes. Gutierrez’s videos combine influences from fashion photography, music videos, and classic film as ways of exploring the construction of gender and self, playing between fantasy and reality.

AARON CURRY: HEADROOM

San Antonio-native Aaron Curry attended Churchill High School and grew up visiting the McNay Art Museum. For over a decade, he has lived and worked in Los Angeles. As Curry’s first-ever exhibition in his place of birth, HEADROOM is a homecoming for the artist.

This exhibition consists of newly created surface coverings, a painting, and two sculptures selected specifically for the AT&T Lobby. The repeated design is both a reference to the early days of image digitization as seen in video games and through copy machines, and a nod to modern art and science fiction that influence Curry’s artwork.

Trained as a painter, Curry says he became interested in sculpture by the idea “of trying to pull something out into the real world.”

HEADROOM is organized for the McNay Art Museum by René Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs.

Lead funding is generously provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Ewing Halsell Foundation.
