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.

Washington, DC | BreakfastTable with Mary Early, HEMPHILL Artworks
2023-04-07 08:00 - 09:00 | HEMPHILL Artworks, 434 K STREET NW, Washington, DC, 20001
Join us for a morning conversation and gallery tour with Mary Early, Director of HEMPHILL Artworks, featuring the exhibition: Prints & Works on Paper.Prints and Works on Paper (March 18 – May 6, 2023)The 19 artists presented in Prints & Works on Paper worked from the mid-1930s through 2014. 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

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.

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.

*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.

About the Artist

Born in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1969, Shahzia Sikander took up the traditional practice of miniature painting during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s military regime, at a time when the medium was deeply unpopular among young artists. Sikander earned a B.F.A. in 1991 from the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore, where she received rigorous training from master miniaturist Bashir Ahmad. She became the first woman to teach in the Miniature Painting Department at NCA, alongside Ahmad, and was the first artist from the department to challenge the medium’s technical and aesthetic framework. Sikander’s breakthrough work, The Scroll, 1989–90, received national critical acclaim in Pakistan, winning the prestigious Shakir Ali Award, the NCA’s highest merit award, and the Haji Sharif award for excellence in miniature painting, subsequently launching the medium into the forefront of NCA’s program, which brought international recognition to this medium within contemporary art practices. The artist moved to the United States to pursue an M.F.A. at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1993 to 1995; from 1995 to 1997, she participated in the CORE Program of the Glassell School of Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

New York, NY | Tour of Wendy Red Star's "Our Side" at Sargent's Daughters
2023-05-02 17:00 - 18:30 | Sargent’s Daughters, 179 East Broadway, New York, New York, 10002
Please join us at Sargent’s Daughters gallery for a tour of Our Side—the third solo exhibition of Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke (Crow), b.1981, Billings, MT) at the gallery. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Spring 2023 release of Red Star’s monograph Bíilukaa, published by Radius Books and featuring interviews with the artist, members of her extended family, and scholars. The book’s title, Bíilukaa, is in reference to what the Apsáalooke (Crow) call themselves: Our Side.

Our Side builds upon Red Star’s research into historical photographs of Apsáalooke individuals and objects, with the artist drawing on both her personal collection and works held in museums and archives across the country. Red Star notes: “Since the time I left the Crow reservation I have encountered my tribe’s material culture in every city I have exhibited or occupied. It is incredible that so much of my community’s history and material culture is kept in the vaults of these institutions hundreds of miles away from their source.”

The exhibition includes two distinct bodies of work; the first are photographic prints originally produced for Bíilukaa, reimagined as a dynamic installation in the gallery. The second consists of large-scale unique collages, which layer photographs on top of fabrics typical of Apsáalooke regalia.

Wendy Red Star (b.1981, Billings, MT) lives in Portland, OR. Red Star has exhibited at venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY), Brooklyn Museum (Brooklyn, NY), both of which have her works in their permanent collections; Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain (Paris, France), Domaine de Kerguéhennec (Bignan, France), Portland Art Museum (Portland, OR), Hood Art Museum (Hanover, NH), St. Louis Art Museum (St. Louis, MO), Minneapolis Institute of Art (Minneapolis, MN), and the Frost Art Museum (Miami, FL).

Her work is in public collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York, NY), the Guggenheim Museum (New York, NY), the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth, TX), the Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO), the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College (Clinton, NY), the Baltimore Museum of Art (Baltimore, MD), the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA), the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University (Durham, NC), the Birmingham Museum of Art (Birmingham, AL), the Williams College Museum of Art (Williamstown, MA), the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY), San Antonio Museum of Art (San Antonio, TX), The Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), and the British Museum (London, UK).

She served as visiting lecturer at Yale University (New Haven, CT), the Figge Art Museum (Davenport, IA), the Banff Centre (Banff, Canada), National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne (Melbourne, Australia), Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH), CalArts (Valencia, CA), Flagler College (St. Augustine, FL), and I.D.E.A. Space in Colorado Springs (Colorado Springs, CO). In 2017, Red Star was awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and in 2018 she received a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. Her first career survey exhibition “Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth” was at the Newark Museum in New Jersey through May 2019, concurrently with her first New York solo gallery exhibition at Sargent’s Daughters. In the fall of 2022, Red Star had a solo project with the Public Art Fund titled Travels Pretty, on JCDeaux bus shelters across Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; and New York, NY. Red Star’s monograph Delegation was co-published by the Aperture Foundation and Documentary Arts in May 2022, which was named one of Vanity Fair’s best art books of 2022 as well as Time Magazine’s best photography books of 2022.

Red Star is currently exhibiting at the Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), the Denver Art Museum (Denver, CO), the Utah Museum of Fine Art (Salt Lake City, UT), Sharjah Art Foundation (Sharjah, UAE).

National | Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith: "Memory Map" at the Whitney Museum of American Art
2023-05-03 16:00 - 18:00 | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
See below to register for either the 4:00 PM or the 5:00 PM tour group.

Join Laura Phipps, Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, with Caitlin Chaisson, Curatorial Project Assistant, for a tour of the first New York retrospective of groundbreaking artist, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation). Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map brings together nearly five decades of Smith’s drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures in the largest and most comprehensive showing of her career to date.

Smith’s work engages with contemporary modes of making, from her idiosyncratic adoption of abstraction to her reflections on American Pop art and neo-expressionism. These artistic traditions are incorporated and reimagined with concepts rooted in Smith’s own cultural practice, reflecting her belief that her “life’s work involves examining contemporary life in America and interpreting it through Native ideology.” Employing satire and humor, Smith’s art tells stories that flip commonly held conceptions of historical narratives and illuminate absurdities in the formation of dominant culture. Smith’s approach importantly blurs categories and questions why certain visual languages attain recognition, historical privilege, and value. Across decades and mediums, Smith has deployed and reappropriated ideas of mapping, history, and environmentalism while incorporating personal and collective memories. The retrospective will offer new frameworks in which to consider contemporary Native American art and show how Smith has led and initiated some of the most pressing dialogues around land, racism, and cultural preservation—issues at the forefront of contemporary life and art today.

Join ArtTable at The Kimbell Art Museum for a guided tour of Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art led by Curator of Asian, African, and Ancient American Art, Jennifer Casler Price.

An exhibition of nearly 100 rarely seen masterpieces and recent discoveries depicts episodes in the life cycle of the gods, from the moment of their birth to resplendent transformations as blossoming flowers or fearsome creatures of the night. Created by masters of the Classic period (A.D. 250–900) in the spectacular royal cities in the tropical forests of what is now Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, these landmark works evoke a world in which the divine, human, and natural realms are interrelated and intertwined. Lenders include major museum collections in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, with many works on view for the first time in the U.S., including new discoveries from Palenque (Mexico) and El Zotz (Guatemala).

New York, NY | Guided Tour of “Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined” at the New Museum
2023-05-13 13:30 - 14:30 | The New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York, New York, 10002, United States
Join ArtTable at The New Museum for a tour of a major solo exhibition of the work of Wangechi Mutu (b. 1972, Nairobi), bringing together over one-hundred works from across her twenty-five-year career. The tour will be led by New Museum teaching artist, Yasmeen Abdalla.ArtTable had the chance to interview Mutu in 2014 in partnership with artnet. This tour brings us full circle to see the significant development and accomplishment in her career since that time.Representing the full breadth of Mutu’s practice, the presentation will encompass painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, film, and performance. Mutu first gained acclaim for her collage-based practice exploring camouflage, transformation, and mutation. She extends these strategies to her work across various media, developing hybrid, fantastical forms that fuse mythical and folkloric narratives with layered sociohistorical references. “Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined” will trace connections between recent developments in the artist’s sculptural practice and her decades-long exploration of the legacies of colonialism, globalization, and African and diasporic cultural traditions. At once culturally specific and transnational in scope, Mutu’s work grapples with contemporary realities, while proffering new models for a radically changed future informed by feminism, Afrofuturism, and interspecies symbiosis.This exhibition is curated by Margot Norton, Allen and Lola Goldring Senior Curator, and Vivian Crockett, Curator, with Ian Wallace, Curatorial Assistant.
