New York, NY | ArtTable Circle - Collection Visit with Alice Sachs Zimet
2022-12-14 18:30 (America/New_York) | California
ArtTable Circle members are invited to join us for a very special collection visit at the home of Alice Sachs Zimet.

Alice Sachs Zimet began to collect photography in early 1985 at a time when the medium was not recognized as a serious art form. The marketplace was nascent. There were few to no photo-only galleries, photo-only art fairs, photo-only auctions, and it was rare to find a photography exhibition in a museum. While there was little acknowledgement, Alice consistently defended her love of the medium even when most challenged her by saying ‘it’s not art’.

Today, fine art photography is a major global player with increased attention, respect, and market share. There are blockbuster museum shows, photo-only auctions, photo-only art fairs and photo-only galleries. And of course, the number of photo collectors and prices have increased significantly.

Zimet’s lifelong passion for the arts began with her parents who were print collectors, collecting images by Vuillard, Bonnard, Vlaminck, Rouault, and Lautrec, among others. Her world was always steeped in the arts – professionally and academically. She holds two degrees in art history and her early professional career began at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

However, her life changed when, for the next 20 years, Zimet worked at The Chase Manhattan Bank where she created a new sponsorship marketing department and became Director, Worldwide Cultural Affairs. She was given a small year-end bonus, which soon became her collecting budget — whether for one photograph or the purchase of several. But that was her acquisition budget for the year.

Zimet has made a conscious effort to buy from all sources — galleries, auctions, benefit auctions, art fairs and even trades. With a collecting career spanning nearly 40 years, she has developed deep personal relationships with professionals across every aspect of the field. Her collection has grown to roughly 350 museum-quality images, where she lives surrounded by the vast majority. “I consciously do not have storage. I live with most of my images surrounding me. With storage, I would not be able to control my collecting impulse. So, my walls provide that boundary.”

This program is open to ArtTable Circle members for $45 each.Members may bring a guest for $55. Registration is required below.

Costa Mesa, CA | Exhibition Tours - "California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold" & "13 Women" with OCMA CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman
2022-12-16 13:00 | Orange County Museum of Art, 3333 Avenue of the Arts, Costa Mesa, California, 92626, United States
Please join us at the newly opened Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) for tours of two exhibitions currently on view: California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold and 13 Women, with ArtTable member and OCMA CEO & Director, Heidi Zuckerman! Stick around afterwards for a no-host lunch or snack at Outpost Kitchen at South Coast.

13 Women marks the museum’s 60th anniversary, paying homage to the thirteen women who founded the Balboa Pavilion Gallery, the earliest iteration of OCMA, which opened in 1962. On view in The Muzzy Family Special Exhibitions Pavilion, 13 Women is curated by Heidi Zuckerman and presented with multiple rotations over the course of almost a full year. The exhibition presents work from the 1960s to the present by artists central to the museum’s collection. Each rotation is centered on the work of thirteen pioneering female artists, each of whom share the visionary qualities of the museum’s founders. The thirteen women included in the first rotation, on view October 8, are Alice Aycock, Joan Brown, Lee Bul, Lucy Bull, Sarah Cain, Vija Celmins, Mary Corse, Mary Heilmann, Barbara Kruger, Cady Noland, Catherine Opie, Hilary Pecis and Agnes Pelton. The work of these pioneering artists is complemented by selected works from OCMA’s collection, including Charles Ray’s Ink Box (1986) and Self Portrait (1990), both acquired from OCMA’s presentation of Ray’s first solo museum exhibition, alongside important works by John Altoon, Chris Burden and Richard Diebenkorn. The exhibition is punctuated by a new site-specific painting by Sarah Cain in The Avenue of the Arts Gallery. Artists Include: John Altoon, Alice Aycock, John Baldessari, Joan Brown, Lee Bul, Lucy Bull, Chris Burden, Sarah Cain, Vija Celmins, Mary Corse, Richard Diebenkorn, Mary Heilmann, Barbara Kruger, Glen Ligon, Cody Noland, Catherine Opie, Hilary Pecis, Agnes Pelton, Charles Ray, and Ed Ruscha

As part of its suite of opening exhibitions, OCMA is reviving the California Biennial. Dating back to 1984, the biennial defined the spirit of the institution for decades, exemplifying the museum’s six-decade history of presenting new developments in contemporary art while identifying emerging artists on the verge of national and international acclaim. Organized by former OCMA curator Elizabeth Armstrong—who curated the California Biennial in 2002, 2004, and 2006—with Essence Harden, Visual Arts Curator at the California African American Museum, and Gilbert Vicario, Chief Curator at the Phoenix Art Museum, the exhibition features 19 artists from across the state. From the high desert to the oceanside of Bolinas and Monterey, and through the dense metropolises of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the collection of artists reflects on California and its unique place in the popular American imagination. Revisiting mythical stories and reimagining California as a changing land, the California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold presents a set of distinctive voices, ones which question, challenge, and animate the past, while looking to the future. Artists include: Tanya Aguiñiga, Alex Anderson, Sadie Barnette, Kenturah Davis, Sharon Ellis, James Gobel, Raul Guerrero, Candice Lin, Maria Maea, Narsiso Martinez, Hector Dionicio Mendoza, Alicia McCarthy, Simphiwe Ndzube, Rashaad Newsome, Alicia Piller, Clare Rojas, Svetlana Shigroff, Laurie Steelink, and Lily Stockman.

Brooklyn, NY | Curator's Tour of "1-800 Happy Birthday" with Klaudia Ofwona Draber
2022-12-17 12:00 | WORTHLESS STUDIOS, 7 KNickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, 11237, United States
Please join us for a tour of 1-800 Happy Birthday with ArtTable members Klaudia Ofwona Draber, the exhibition’s curator, and Marcia Santoni, executive director of WORTHLESSSTUDIOS.

1-800 Happy Birthday is an exhibition honoring Black and Brown lives killed by police. Originally a voicemail project, now transformed into a large-scale exhibition in a 10,000 square-foot warehouse, 1-800 Happy Birthday is created by artist Mohammad Gorjestani and Even/Odd, curated by Klaudia Ofwona Draber, with artistic direction by Neil Hamamoto, and presented by arts nonprofit WORTHLESSSTUDIOS with the aim of honoring the lives of those lost too soon. The families of Dujuan Armstrong, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Stephon Clark, Fred Cox, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, Xzavier Hill, Donovon Lynch, Sean Monterrosa, Tony Robinson, and Mario Woods are participating in the exhibition.

1-800 Happy Birthday was originally created in 2020 by Even/Odd founder, filmmaker, and artist Mohammad Gorjestani as an ongoing voicemail project to honor Black and Brown victims of police killings and systemic racism. The project exists online at 1800HappyBirthday.com and allows loved ones and the public to leave and listen to voicemails left on the birthdays of ‘celebrants’ – those unjustly killed. Gorjestani teamed up with WORTHLESSSTUDIOS’ Founder and Artistic Director Neil Hamamoto and Curator Klaudia Ofwona Draber, along with family members of the twelve celebrants, to bring the digital project into the physical realm in a community-accessible, large-scale exhibition. The show utilizes audio and video components, a large mural created by Art1, and personal ephemera to tell their stories.

Twelve upcycled NYC pay phones are arranged on a few patches of lawn, a concrete wall with a dedicated area for flowers hosts a large mural and balloons, and birthday cards are available for purchase at a newsstand. Towards the back of this city landscape is a translucent building facade with an opening that leads to an interior setting – a family living room. This room acts as a resource center: filled with photos, ephemera from the celebrants, and educational resources. It is also meant as a space of refuge, to rest and recharge. The exhibition design imagines a world that is just, where streets are safe for Black and Brown people to just be.

Each repurposed phone booth, designed in collaboration with the families of the celebrants, is dedicated to one person and features portraits of the celebrant and their family and friends. The visuals and ephemera included in the exhibition – such as Philando Castile’s favorite book and Xzavier Hill’s graduation cap – allow visitors a glimpse into the personal milestones, interests and personalities of those being honored. These objects, chosen by celebrant family members, illustrate the divide between private conversation and public space. In a large-scale mural, each celebrant is represented by their likeness. The tableau serves as a collective memory for the many individuals killed by the police, and is designed to receive flowers, birthday cards, balloons, and any other memorial offerings. The interactive and educational nature of the exhibition seeks to connect participants to each celebrant and to expand on the pervasive impact of policing and systemic racism in America.

About MoCA Arlington
The Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (formerly Arlington Arts Center) is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit museum that enriches community life by connecting the public with contemporary art and artists through exhibitions, education programs, and an artists-in-residence program. It was founded by artists in 1974 and has been housed since 1976 in a historic school building. The facility includes nine exhibition galleries, working studios for twelve artists, and two classrooms.
About the Exhibitions
Launched in 2019, Assembly is the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington’s biennial exhibition program, which highlights the material and conceptual trends being explored by contemporary artists in the present moment. The artists in Assembly 2022: Time and Attention demonstrate a deep commitment to process and craft, which is channeled through materials and into research. Through these carefully considered approaches, they are creating work that speaks to the present moment in ways that feel both urgent and timeless. In what feels like a moment of ongoing, even perpetual, crisis they bring this focused approach to issues that are fundamental to contemporary American life, including questions of identity, history, immigration, place, and belonging.
Let Them Kids Be Kids, a solo exhibition by MoCA Arlington resident artist Lex Mari, uses the playground as a framework with which to examine the joys of Black childhood and the ways in which issues of race and equity are inscribed on the site. Employing images from her personal life to examine these ideas, Lex Marie’s newest paintings and installations address the issue of adultification bias as she makes the case that all children have a right to innocence.

Atlanta, GA | Artist Talk & Exhibition Tour with Jessica Blinkhorn
2023-01-21 11:00 - 13:00 | Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, Pulgram Gallery, 2650 N. Druid Hills Rd. NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30329, United States
Please join us for a special tour and meet and greet with artist Jessica Blinkhorn.

SPANKBOX is a photographic installation depicting individuals with varying disabilities from all communities in sexualized, hypersexualized poses and situations. We at SPANKBOX ask that the “for now” non-disabled community evaluate their preconceived notions regarding disability and sexuality. How do you perceive disability and sexuality? What standard do you hold us to? Do you view us as an asexual monolith? Do you see our bodies as objects to commodify and or fetishize? Do you celebrate the disabled body and all of its beauty?

The mission at SPANKBOX is to provide a safe space where the community can self-educate by examining the disabled body and asking questions without shame. In return, we ask that you engage in conversation with us by answering one of the many questions provided by our participants (SPANKERS). By educating the community about disability and sexuality, we celebrate our identities as autonomous, dimensional individuals rather than sick, broken, and vulnerable. When a community has been identified as weak, that community will likely be preyed upon.

It is up to us, society as a whole, to engage in a conversation without pretense, ego, and hurt feelings. To effectively promote actual change, we have to have uncomfortable conversations. It’s time for the disabled community to be seen for our abilities! We love, celebrate, work, empathize, motivate, and move forward through an intrepid landscape of social barriers that should not exist in today’s time.

During her residency at UUCA, Jessica plans to focus on two bodies of work – REVERENCE (memory portraits) and SPANKBOX, curating a show for the Pulgram Gallery at UUCA, working with disabled and lgbtq+ youths and seniors by way of providing low-cost art classes, providing an artist talk for the community and congregation, and, lastly, with community support, a prom for disabled and lgbtq+ youths.

2023-01-24 18:30 - 20:00 | Ford Foundation, 320 E 43rd Street, New York, New York, 10017, United States
Data about pay and gender equity when it comes to arts professionals is woefully inaccessible and incomplete. Over the past several months, in an effort to remedy some of these problems and contribute valuable knowledge to our community, ArtTable has collected new data via a survey about the changing contours of the artistic labor market in order to better understand trends and advocate for arts professionals, artists, and arts workers of all types. Based on the feedback we have received so far, and continue to receive, we are pleased to present this discussion on gender, compensation, and inequality among arts professionals at the Ford Foundation in New York City.

Click here to take the survey if you have not done so already! And read, “Why You Should Fill Out ArtTable’s Survey on Working in the Arts” in Hyperallergic, an op-ed by ArtTable’s Lila Harnett Executive Director, Jessica L. Porter.

The discussion will be moderated by ArtTable’s Lila Harnett Executive Director, Jessica L. Porter.

Yonkers, NY | Private Tour of "Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990" with Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections, Hudson River Museum
2023-02-11 15:00 - 17:00 | Hudson River Museum, 511 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, New York, 10701, United States
Please join us for private tour of Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990 led by Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections at the Hudson River Museum and ArtTable member, followed by a light reception.

Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990 explores a period of experimentation in printmaking among women artists, who used the art form as a means of creative expression and also a way to enter the male-dominated art market. Artists such as Minna Citron, Chryssa, Helen Frankenthaler, the Guerrilla Girls, Louise Nevelson, Faith Ringgold, and Julia Santos Solomon experimented with the medium during these three decades and became a formidable matrix from which a new generation of printmakers would develop. Individually and collectively, these artists expanded the genre through their mastery of technique and collaboration, while defining and broadening a new, more inclusive voice and visual language.

San Francisco, CA | Exhibition Tour - "Joan Brown" at SFMOMA with Chief Curator Janet Bishop
2023-02-23 17:00 - 18:00 | SFMOMA, 151 Third Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
Please join us for a tour of the retrospective exhibition, Joan Brown, on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with Janet Bishop, Thomas Weisel Family Chief Curator and Curator of Painting and Sculpture.

Comprising eighty colorful paintings and sculptures, Joan Brown spans the charmingly personal and engaging career of one of San Francisco’s most important local heroes. Deeply embedded in the Bay Area art scene, Joan Brown drew inspiration from many sources to create works that merge autobiography, fantasy, and whimsy, with weightier metaphysical and spiritual themes. This retrospective is the most expansive presentation on the artist’s work in more than twenty years, charting the turns and devotions of a vision that was once dismissed by critics as unserious but was rooted firmly in impassioned curiosity and research and remains uniquely compelling today.

The materials employed in the exhibition are both profound and striking, ranging from melted bullets and destroyed weapons to soap, wax, and seeds. The exhibition features a series of installations that explore vulnerability in the context of the queer body, however, rather than portraying vulnerability as a weakness, the works presented in this exhibition encourage the viewer to consider vulnerability as a powerful weapon.

*FULL* New York, NY | Dia Chelsea Chryssa Exhibition Tour with Megan Holly Witko
2023-03-30 18:00 - 19:30 | Dia Chelsea, 537 W 22nd St, New York, New York, 10011
Join us for a tour of Chryssa & New York at Dia Chelsea led by exhibition curator Megan Holly Witko. Co-organized by Dia Art Foundation and the Menil Collection, Chryssa & New York is the first comprehensive survey of works by Greek-born artist Chryssa (1933–2013) to take place in North America since 1982. A leading figure of the New York art world in the 1950s and ’60s, Chryssa developed an innovative approach to activating sculptural surfaces through subtle manipulations of light and shadow. Pathbreaking in its use of signage, text, and neon, her vastly under-recognized body of work bridges Pop, Conceptual, and Minimalist ideas of art making. This exhibition focuses on works from these decades through to the early 1970s, bringing together Chryssa’s deeply formal concerns and critical interest in exploring the United States following World War II.

While the work spans almost a century, it was made within the shared social and political context of the Black experience in America. These artists did not perceive a line where activism ended and art began. Believing that pictures could make a difference, they were invested in advocating for justice, empowerment, and community through education; the intentionality of creating editioned prints in a workshop setting reflects this dedication. Printmaking facilitated a wider distribution of their messages, allowing artists to be deliberate about connection and reaching a larger audience. Imagery portraying a rich social life offered viewers positive self-representation, verity, and aspiration for the future. The private collection of 38 works passionately assembled over a 30-year period, is honest in content and impressive in technique, both captivating the audience and effectively conveying the artworks’ significance. By boldly broadcasting their identities while the art world was systematically prejudiced, the artists in Prints & Works on Paper documented a difficult past and visualized a brighter future.Ron Adams, Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, John Biggers, Elizabeth Catlett, Robert Colescott, Allan Rohan Crite, Aaron Douglas, Sam Gilliam, Palmer Hayden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Lois Mailou Jones, Alison Saar, Charles Sebree, Renée Stout, James Lesesne Wells, Charles White, Hale Woodruff

ABOUT HEMPHILL

HEMPHILL Artworks opened in Washington DC in September, 1993. The exhibition schedule features contemporary art ranging in media from emerging to mid-career and established artists. In addition to these shows, the gallery mounts exhibitions of historically-significant artwork and socially relevant subjects. The diversity of this schedule is designed to showcase important talent and provide artwork that appeals to a broad range of interests.

From its beginnings, HEMPHILL has advised corporate and private collectors. This initial client base was built upon contacts and experiences gained in academia, with private galleries, and with architectural and design firms. HEMPHILL’s consulting and advisory work has expanded to include companies and individuals worldwide. HEMPHILL offers collectors the chance to experience a broad range of aesthetic experiences both through the gallery exhibition program and through private viewing opportunities. It also provides an opportunity to be directly involved in the artists’ community as well as the creative process.

Special events include the ongoing ART TALKS series, artist book signings, and charitable vents for area nonprofits. Begun in 1998, the ART TALKS series includes educational lectures on topics such as collecting for beginners, artist talks, and panel discussions on issues in contemporary art. In 2020, HEMPHILL inaugurated a new gallery space in Washington’s historic Mount Vernon Square neighborhood. Featuring an open gallery floor plan and glass partitions that invite guests into the office area, the design allows for increased interaction and conversation. As we enter 2023, the third year in this new space and the third year of a global pandemic, we continue to welcome first-time visitors.

The exhibition charts the 50-year career of one of America’s most influential modern artists through more than 150 paintings and drawings. Guston’s story is one of epic change—of artistic styles, from muralism to abstract expressionism to figuration, of degrees of political and social involvement, and of levels of personal confession in his work. Renowned in his time and in ours, Guston’s work continues to resonate, attract, and provoke, raising crucial questions about the relationship of art to beauty and brutality, freedom and doubt, politics and the imagination.Nathalie A. Ryan has contributed to education programming, publications, and exhibitions to the National Gallery of Art since 2002. She has twenty years of demonstrated experience in conceptualizing, implementing, and evaluating outcome-based programming for museums and other educational institutions. Nathalie is also an Instructor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, coaching K-12 teachers and administrators in arts and thinking-centered learning frameworks.

Join us at the Guggenheim as curator Andrea Zambrano walks us through a retrospective of one of the great pioneering Venezuelan artists, Gego—or Gertrud Goldschmidt (b. 1912, Hamburg; d. 1994, Caracas). Gego’s two-and-three dimensional works across many media explored the relationship between line, space, and volume. Her practice is grounded in the intersections of geometric abstraction, Kinetic art, Minimalism, and Post-Minimalism. Trained as an architect (b. 1912 Hamburg; d. 1994 Caracas), known for her organic forms, linear structures, and spatial investigations, this exhibition will establish her legacy in the Americas.

Andrea Zambrano is an emerging curator and art historian whose primary research interests are in modern and contemporary Latin American art. In 2021 she joined the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, serving as the curatorial assistant on Alex Katz: Gathering (2021). Currently, Andrea is on the curatorial team of Gego: Measuring Infinity, working alongside exhibition curators Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães and Pablo Leon de la Barra. For the 2nd group tour, there will be a specialist in the Department of Education.Special thanks to Julia P.

*POSTPONED* Atlanta, GA | Exhibition Tour | Women to Watch: Melissa Messina & Sierra King
2023-04-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Atlanta Contemporary, 535 Means Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia, 30318
NOTE: this event has been postponed: watch this space and @arttable_atl for new dates and more Atlanta Events.

Join ArtTable at Atlanta Contemporary for a talk and tour of the Women to Watch series exhibition led by Melissa Messina and Sierra King! This exhibition is presented at Atlanta Contemporary in partnership with the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.For the 2023 iteration of the ongoing Women to Watch series, the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) invited guest curators Sierra King and Melissa Messina to select five woman-identifying Georgia-connected artists whose work responds to the question: When women artists envision a different world, how does that look?

With over 60 artists initially considered, and 16 studio visits conducted, these 5 artists represent a diverse range of artistic excellence, age, backgrounds, and geographic locations. Their practices push the boundaries of their chosen media and the exhibition’s thematic inquiry.

MELISSA MESSINA is a nationally recognized arts professional who has developed thought-provoking exhibitions, dynamic site-responsive projects, and engaging educational public programming both independently and in leadership positions at museums and non-profit arts organizations.

SIERRA KING is an Archivist and Curator. Her creative and arts administration work is dedicated to documenting, preserving, and archiving the work of Black Women Artists.

This exhibition is presented at Atlanta Contemporary in partnership with the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Atlanta Contemporary believes in the power of contemporary art to change lives and that anyone—regardless of age, race, gender, socio-economic status, or any perceived limitations—should have access to innovative and engaging contemporary art and programs. Rooted in the very fabric of our founders, Atlanta Contemporary has been artist-centered and art-driven since 1973.

As one of the first of the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) committees, the Georgia Committee (GA NMWA) realized the importance of a museum advocating for women artists and swiftly formed as a committee in 1986. Thirty-five years later, we are proud to support NMWA and to champion Georgia women artists.
