Spanning almost 40 years of Genzken’s inventive, audacious, and deeply influential artwork, the exhibition brings together more than 150 objects in an astonishing variety of techniques, including assemblage, sculpture, painting, photography, collage, drawing, artist’s books, film, and large-scale installations. A majority of the works in the exhibition are on view in the U.S. for the first time, including Schauspieler (Actors) (2013), a large-scale installation, while others have rarely been publicly exhibited anywhere. Isa Genzken: Retrospective is co-organized by The Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Dallas Museum of Art. The exhibition is organized by Sabine Breitwieser, Chief Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art (until January 31, 2013), and Laura Hoptman, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA; Michael Darling, the James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; and Jeffrey Grove, Senior Curator of Special Projects & Research, Dallas Museum of Art; with Stephanie Weber, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance Art, MoMA. Working across a diverse array of mediums, Genzken has been inspired by two grand themes: modernity and urban architecture.

  • NAPS Historical Sketch 2018.Pdf
    National Association of Postal Supervisors Historical Sketch Revised 2018 Notes on the Revised Historical Sketch This document was originally prepared by NAPS Editor Byrd B. Saxton (the year is unknown). It was substantially revised in 1992 with the assistance of indi- viduals affiliated with the following organizations: • Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, US House of Representatives; • Federal Managers Association; • International Association of Fire Fighters; • League of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Letter Carriers; • National Association of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Retired Federal Employees; • Office of Personnel Management Library; • The George Meany Memorial Archives, and • USPS Headquarters, including the Compensation Services Division, Government Relations Department, Headquarters Library and the Historian’s Office. Special advisors on the project were retired President Donald N. Ledbetter, Executive Vice President Mo Twomey and Administrative Vice President Dan Jaspan, whose assistance is gratefully acknowledged. Supplemental information was compiled and edited at the direction of the NAPS resident officers. 1908 —The Beginning On September 7, 1908, 50 postal supervisors from post offices in 13 states met in Louisville, KY. Their objective was to establish an association composed of supervisors dedicated to the wel- fare of supervisors and the improvement of the United States Post Office Department (POD). Poor working conditions and an unfair salary system were among the challenges that faced these pio- neers, all of whom risked their livelihoods to participate in these early organizational activities. This foundation, laid so long ago, led to the many improved benefits we are privileged to enjoy today. As this historical sketch illustrates, these founders and their successors have made great progress for the postal supervisor.
