SUMMARY:New York\, NY | Curator-Led Tour of Nicole Eisenman: Fixed Crane at Madison Square Park
DESCRIPTION:Nicole Eisenman (American\, b. France 1965)\, Fixed Crane\, 2024. Crane\, bronze\, plaster\, wire\, and various additional materials. Approximately 12 feet x 12 feet x 102 feet. Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth. Commissioned by Madison Square Park Conservancy\, New York. Photo: Elisabeth Bernstein\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis tour with Brooke Kamin Rapaport\, Artistic Director and Martin Friedman Chief Curator of Madison Square Park Conservancy\, explores Nicole Eisenman: Fixed Crane\, the current project in the Conservancy’s field-leading program of contemporary public art.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: Nicole Eisenman – one of the most influential artists working today — assembles a monumental public project for Madison Square Park that destabilizes familiar heroic objects associated with human achievement. Fixed Crane features a toppled industrial crane embellished with handmade sculptural objects. The work marks a significant moment in Eisenman’s practice\, expanding her explorations of the twentieth-century concept of the “readymade\,” created in 1916 by Dada artist Marcel Duchamp to elevate everyday\, mass-produced objects to the status of an artwork\, and pushing the boundaries of her work in figuration. The project is part of the milestone twentieth anniversary of Madison Square Park Conservancy’s art program. \n\n\n\nParkgoers can walk around the deflated machine\, a mighty symbol of construction prowess and urban growth that now rests impotently on the park’s Oval Lawn. Rather than reach valiantly into the sky\, the once imperious 1969 Link-Belt crane has capsized\, provocatively challenging our notions of betterment. Turned on its side\, the operator’s cab reaches nine-feet high; the tracks extend up twelve feet\, and the boom stretches ninety feet. The artist upends an Edenic refuge from the city by placing a rusted relic of presumed advancement center stage. Eisenman questions cycles of progress in public space: how powerful cranes build skyscrapers–and\, lately\, “supertalls”–like those near Madison Square Park. In recent months\, a towering wisp of an 860-foot-high structure has risen to eclipse views of the Empire State Building from in and around the park. Eisenman critiques New York City’s impulse for ever higher ascension\, which advances some lives and compromises others\, and alludes to how the human condition may be endangered by ongoing urban construction. \n\n\n\nAt the apex of the cab is a diminutive explorer. The figure is a symbol of surrender or of occupation. Sculptural bandages placed on the crane’s boom are there to heal the fallen apparatus. A large foot wearing a Birkenstock sandal adjacent to the engine\, is footloose no longer\, an unexpected culprit as the kicker who capsized the crane. Visible through a small portal is a tableau of a solitary seated female figure\, draped in a shawl\, and bathed in the soft light of a chandelier. She sits before a small cast-iron stove. She is now a vision (or a squatter)\, a glowing soul who recently found a haven for a wiener roast\, skewering a sausage with a stick. The crane’s original counterweight and interior mechanisms become benches for seating as the artist daylights what was once hidden in the machine’s interior. Viewers can look at the fallen crane–once a commanding\, necessary force for building\, but now in stasis. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\nMember Guests – $20\n\n\n\nNon-Members – $25\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?

SUMMARY:*CANCELED* San Francisco\, CA | Curator-Led Tour of Mary Cassatt at Work at the de Young Museum with Emily Beeny
DESCRIPTION:Mary Cassatt at Work\, Legion of Honor\, 2024. Photo by Gary Sexton.\n\n\n\nJoin ArtTable for a tour of Mary Cassatt at Work with Emily Beeny\, PhD\, Curator in Charge of European Paintings at the de Young Museum. The largest exhibition of Cassatt’s work in the US in decades\, Mary Cassatt at Work was organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the support of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: Too often dismissed as a sentimental painter of mothers and children\, Mary Cassatt (1844–1926) was in fact a modernist pioneer. Her paintings\, pastels\, and prints are characterized by restless experimentation and change. Cassatt was the only American to join the French Impressionists\, first exhibiting with the group at Degas’s invitation in 1879\, and quickly emerged as a key member of the movement. Alongside scenes of women at the opera\, visiting friends\, and taking tea\, Cassatt produced many images of “women’s work” — knitting and needlepoint\, bathing children\, and nursing infants. These images suggest parallels between the work of art making and the work of caregiving. The exhibition calls attention to the artist’s own processes of making — how she used her brush\, etching needle\, pastel stick\, and even fingertips to create radical art under the cover of “feminine” subject matter. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAccessibility note: Wheelchairs and lightweight portable stools are available from Coat Check or the Admissions counter on a first come\, first-served basis. A Photo ID must be provided to ensure items are returned prior to leaving the museum. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgram Registration: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Member – $30\n\n\n\nArtTable Member with FAMSF membership – $15\n\n\n\nFriend of Member – $35\n\n\n\nNonmember of ArtTable – $40\n\n\n\nNonmember of ArtTable with FAMSF membership – $20\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
