Benefit Week | Tour of the Whitney Biennial
2022-04-09 15:00 (America/New_York) | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Please join us at the Whitney Museum of American Art for a private tour of the 2022 Whitney Biennial.

The 80th edition of the biennial, entitled Quiet as It’s Kept, will showcase the work of 63 artists and collectives distributed throughout most of the museum’s space.

“Quiet as It’s Kept—a colloquialism typically said before the statement of something obviously meant to be kept a secret—was selected as the title after the co-organizers, curators David Breslin and Adrienne Edwards, were inspired by the usage of the phrase in a Toni Morrison novel and as the title of a Max Roach album. ‘The 2022 biennial arrives at a time haunted by a global pandemic and plagued by ongoing racial and economic inequities and polarizing politics,’ says Adam D. Weinberg, the museum’s Alice Pratt Brown director. ‘The artists in the exhibition challenge us to consider how these realities affect our senses of self and community and offer one of the broadest and most diverse takes on art in the United States that the Whitney has offered in many years.'”

– Pili Swanson, Gotham Magazine

The Whitney Biennial is the longest-running survey of American art, and has been a hallmark of the Museum since 1932. Initiated by the Museum’s founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney as an invitational exhibition featuring artwork created in the preceding two years, the biennials were originally organized by medium, with painting alternating with sculpture and works on paper. Starting in 1937, the Museum shifted to yearly exhibitions called Annuals. The current format—a survey show of work in all media occurring every two years—has been in place since 1973. More than 3,600 artists have participated in a biennial or annual.

This is the second of two tours on Saturday, April 9. The first is at 1:30pm. Please click here if you are looking for the 1:30pm tour.

This program is $30 for ArtTable members, who may bring an additional guests for $45. Capacity is limited.

Benefit Week | Tour of 'Faith Ringgold: American People' at the New Museum
2022-04-08 16:00 (America/New_York) | New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York, 10002
Please join us at the New Museum after our Annual Benefit & Award Ceremony for a private tour of Faith Ringgold: American People. Our tour will be led by Curatorial Assistant, Madeline Weisburg. Bringing together over fifty years of work, the exhibition provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of the artist’s vision.

Artist, author, educator, and organizer, Faith Ringgold is one of the most influential cultural figures of her generation. Her career links the multi-disciplinary practices of the Harlem Renaissance to the political art of young Black artists working today. For sixty years, Ringgold has drawn from both personal autobiography and collective histories to both document her life as an artist and mother and to amplify the struggles for social justice and equity. From creating some of the most indelible artworks of the civil rights era to challenging accepted hierarchies of art versus craft through her experimental story quilts, Faith Ringgold has produced a body of work that bears witness to the complexity of the American experience.

This program is $35 and open to ArtTable members only. Capacity is limited.

About the Exhibition

Faith Ringgold: American People is the most comprehensive exhibition to date of this groundbreaking artist’s vision, highlighted by the first full presentation of her historic French Collection in over twenty years along with many other quintessential works that will be exhibited together for the first time in decades. Featuring Ringgold’s best-known series, this show examines the artist’s figurative style as it evolved to meet the urgency of political and social change. The exhibition also foregrounds her radical explorations of gender and racial identities, which the artist incorporates into the rich textures of her paintings, soft sculptures, and story quilts. Among the most important artworks of the past fifty years, Ringgold’s fabric works combine local traditions and global references to compose a polyphonic history of this country. Long overdue, this retrospective provides a timely opportunity to experience the art of an American icon.

Virtual | Panel Discussion - 'Before Silence: Afghan Artists in Exile'
2022-03-24 17:00 (America/New_York)
2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET

Before Silence: Afghan Artists in Exile is an online exhibition presented by Art at a Time Like This, in partnership with PEN America’s Artists At Risk Connection(ARC).

Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last August and the subsequent takeover by the Taliban, which has a long and brutal history of censoring artistic expression, many Afghan artists, including writers, musicians, filmmakers, and intellectuals, have been persecuted and targeted simply for being artists. Fearing for their lives, many artists have been forced to go into hiding, self-censor or destroy their creative work, or flee the country, putting the future of the arts and culture in the country into question.

Before Silence presents a powerful selection of works representative of the up and coming generation of Afghan artists who have continued to create and inspire amidst insecurity and humanitarian suffering. Through photographs, paintings, cartoons, murals, and performances, this powerful exhibition offers a complex dialogue between artists, danger, deprivation, and insecurity. The artists featured in the exhibition are Ali Rahimi, ArtLords, Latifa Zafar Attaii, Lida Afghan, Mohsin Taasha, Morteza Herati, Naseer Turkmani, Rada Akbar, and Shamayel Shalizi. It was a monumental task to pull together this exhibition with the artists scattered throughout the world after fleeing Afghanistan in recent months. This exhibition would not have been possible without unique collaboration between an arts organization and a leading human rights advocacy group.

To mark the occasion of this exceptional exhibition, please join us for a panel discussion with Art at a Time Like This co-founders Anne Verhallen and Barbara Pollack, conceptual artist Rada Akbar, and director of PEN America’s Artists at Risk Connection, Julie Trebault.

NoCal | Curator-Led Tour of 'Alice Neel: People Come First' with Lauren Palmor
2022-03-24 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | de Young Museum, Golden Gate Park 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, San Francisco, California, 94118, United States
4pm PST

Join ArtTable member Lauren Palmor, assistant curator of American art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, for a tour of Alice Neel: People Come First at the de Young Museum. Alice Neel (1900–1984) was one of the century’s most radical painters, a champion of social justice whose longstanding commitment to humanist principles inspired her life as well as her art. This is the first comprehensive West Coast retrospective of Neel’s work. The award-winning exhibition includes paintings, drawings, and watercolors, along with additional artworks and media exclusive to the San Francisco presentation.

Neel spent most of her life in New York City, and her work testifies to the diversity, resilience, and passion of the people she encountered there. The exhibition includes depictions of Neel’s neighbors in Spanish Harlem, political leaders, queer cultural figures, activists, and mothers, along with a diverse representation of nude figures, including visibly pregnant women. Neel’s “pictures of people” embody a rare candor and irreverence. Together they emphasize her belief in the dignity and worth of all individuals, a view that remains critical to the social and cultural politics of our time.

Virtual | Artist Talk with Nneka Jones
2022-03-22 13:00 (America/New_York)
10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET

Please join us for a virtual Artist Talk with contemporary multidisciplinary artist Nneka Jones.

Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago was one of the main factors that has molded Nneka Jones into the artist she is today. Her astounding love for color and special attention to detail, as influenced by her culture, have always been prominent throughout her artistic journey. She enjoys working in mixed media, embroidery, textiles, and paint, exploring both large-scale mural work and small-scale intimate pieces. Through her practice, she produces thought-provoking artwork that comments on social and environmental injustice, strongly advocating for the protection of women and girls of color. These are often topics that as a society, we feel uncomfortable addressing but are necessary to view head on for a positive change.
Since graduating from the University of Tampa in May 2020, Jones’ work has caught the eyes of art directors in top publications like TIME, where she was commissioned to produce the hand embroidered flag that appears on the August 31st/September 7th 2020 issue. She was also commissioned by the Washington Post to capture the history made by Vice President Kamala Harris and even appeared as a keynote speaker for Adobe MAX; emphasizing the importance of art as a vehicle for activism.
Jones’ unique hand embroidery work has been featured in Colossal magazine, The Jealous Curator blog, The American Craft Council, Embroidery Mag UK, and Domestika. With work in the permanent collections of the Florida Craft Art Gallery, Ferman Art Center, and Tampa Museum of Art, Jones continues to broaden her professional practice and break barriers at an early stage in her a career as an inspiration to other young, aspiring artists.

We hope you’ll join us to hear more from this incredible, trailblazing artist!

Please join us for an in-person tour of how we are in time and space: Nancy Buchanan, Marcia Hafif, Barbara T. Smith, followed by a discussion with two of the exhibition artists – Nancy Buchanan and Barbara T. Smith.
This major group exhibition is the first to focus on the collaborations and empathic intersections between three remarkable artists in the form of drawing, photography, collage, video, performance documentation, and architectural proposals comprising over 50 years of art making. Embracing the differences between these artists as well as their points of convergence, the exhibition will probe various notions of being, including the political, scientific, and spiritual.
All three artists have deep connections to Southern California, intersecting in the inaugural MFA program at UC-Irvine from 1969 to 1971. Buchanan, Hafif, and Smith all entered graduate school as mothers and were emphatically aware of the gendered expectations and hostilities toward women choosing art making as their primary pursuit, though each presented a unique version of the struggle for liberation from the orthodoxies of gender and sexuality. The exhibition will be anchored by three time-based works demonstrating the overlaps between each artist’s practice and revealing the primary subjects of the exhibition—bodies, communication, and dwelling.

Through an examination of artists’ work and feminist art theory, Brodsky will discuss the crucial role women are playing in the art world in this digital realm, including in new media as video, websites and social networking, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and NFTs. Through this discussion, viewers will gain critical insights into the important role female artists are playing in the digital space, which historically has been dominated by men. Audience questions will be answered at the end of the conversation.

About Dorothy Moss
Dorothy Moss, PhD is a curator of painting and sculpture at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery (NPG). Her recent projects include the exhibition and book Hung Liu: Portraits of Promised Lands (Yale University Press, 2021) and The Obama Portraits (Princeton University Press, 2020). In 2015, Moss initiated IDENTIFY, the NPG’s first performance art series featuring internally recognized artists, including Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, James Luna, and Jeffrey Gibson. Her upcoming exhibitions are One Life: Maya Lin (September 2022) and Kinship, with curators Leslie Ureña, Robyn Asleson, and Taína Caragol (October 2022).
About the exhibition
Hung Liu (1948–2021) was a contemporary Chinese-born American artist, whose multilayered paintings established new frameworks for understanding portraiture in relation to time, memory, and history. Often sourcing her subjects from photographs, Liu elevated overlooked individuals by amplifying the stories of those who have historically been invisible or unheard. Having lived through war, political revolution, exile, and displacement, she offered a complex picture of an Asian Pacific American experience. Her portraits speak powerfully to those seeking a better life, in the United States and elsewhere. Hung Liu: Portraits of Promised Lands will be the first major exhibition of the artist’s work on the East Coast. This is also the first time that a museum will focus on Liu’s portraiture.

About the Foundation
The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation is dedicated to continuing the legacy and vision of Frederick R. Weisman, an extraordinary entrepreneur, philanthropist, and art collector. He held an uncompromising belief in the cultural value of art and understood the importance of both the individual artist and creative process.
In 1982, Frederick R. Weisman purchased the Los Angeles estate to serve as a showcase for his personal collection of 20th-century art. He and his wife Billie Milam Weisman, an art conservator and curator, worked together to create a unique environment located within the Mediterranean-style villa. The villa was designed by Gordon B. Kaufmann in the late 1920s and exhibits the craftsmanship characteristics of that period, including hand-painted ceilings, stucco details, and wood-inlaid floors.
In 1991, the Weismans added a contemporary annex, or art pavilion, designed by Franklin D.Israel, to accommodate larger-scale works. Today the Foundation estate, annex, and surrounding gardens is made accessible to the public by appointment only on guided tours.
More than four hundred works of art are on display at the Foundation. The collection includes works by European Modernists including Cezanne, Picasso, and Kandinsky and Surrealist works by Ernst, Miro, and Magritte. The holdings in postwar art include works by Giacometti, Noguchi, Calder, Rauschenberg, and Johns; Abstract Expressionist paintings by de Kooning, Francis, Still, and Rothko; Color-Field paintings by Frankenthaler, Louis, and Noland; and Pop Art by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, and Rosenquist.
Contemporary California works include those by Ruscha and Goode, and Super Realist sculptures by Hanson and de Andrea. These holdings are part of a larger collection that Mr. Weisman established as the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in 1982.
Currently under the direction of Billie Milam Weisman, the Foundation continues to make the collection available through loans to museums worldwide, docent tours at the Los Angeles estate, exhibitions in public-art venues, and the funding of several art museums, including the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University in Malibu, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, designed by Frank O. Gehry.

About the exhibition
Featuring the work of 47 artists and collectives, Greater New York opens up geographic and historical boundaries by expanding familiar narratives around artists and art movements in New York. Bridging strategies of the documentary and the archive on the one hand, and surrealism and fabulation on the other, the exhibition considers the ways that artists record experiences of belonging and estrangement. Drawing connections across the interdisciplinary practices of international and intergenerational artists, Greater New York examines the many ways that affinities form in relation to place and through time.
The exhibition foregrounds the resilience of artists and artist communities in the city, while marking ways these artists have both profoundly shaped New York, and borne witness to its many transformations. As New York emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition offers an opportunity to mourn, celebrate, and reconnect with artist communities. This iteration of Greater New York honors not only the persistence of artists, many of whom have worked unrecognized over decades, but their ability to help us make sense of the many ruptures—social, political, and ecological—that have shaped New York City in this critical and transformative moment.

2022-02-09 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET
At its inception, ArtTable was a driving force for gender parity in the arts – creating community, driving policy change, and building a network of resources for women to forge a confident and unquestioned place as leaders in the art world. At the core of our mission, we aim to advance the leadership of women in the visual arts by expanding opportunities for women from diverse backgrounds and at all stages of their careers. It is with our mission in mind that we have outlined an action plan for ensuring that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility remain at the center of our organization.
We invite you all to read our proposal for furthering the key ideas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in our organization. We hope to gather feedback on the action plan at a series of Talk Backs which aim to gather community feedback and answer any questions you all may have. This second Talk Back will focus on the Membership portions of the action plan. The next and final Talk Back will focus on Programming.
