DESCRIPTION:Following an introduction by Alexa Kaye\, Director of Major & Leadership Gifts at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, our tour with a Friends of the Kennedy Center volunteer guide will explore its visual arts collection\, its interdisciplinary community engagement programs\, and its long history of championing the arts’ vital role in American civic life.

Throughout the REACH’s indoor and outdoor performance and education spaces\, designed by architect Steven Holl\, works by Roy Lichtenstein\, Deborah Butterfield\, and Joel Shapiro welcome audiences and invite cross-pollination between the visual arts\, theatre\, dance\, and music. The interactive exhibition Art and Ideals: President John F. Kennedy\, the newest addition to the Kennedy Center campus\, explores the importance of the arts to the Kennedy Administration’s diplomacy and its vision for the civic life of the United States. Art and Ideals also covers the establishment\, design\, and construction of the Kennedy Center and highlights many of the incredible performances that have graced its stages over the past five decades. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAccessibility Note: Given the vast size of the Kennedy Center campus\, guests are advised to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk for the better part of an hour.

SUMMARY:Greenwich\, CT | Artist & Curator-Led Tour: 'The Elusive Art of Kumi Yamashita'
DESCRIPTION:Kumi Yamashita\, Arc\, 2014. Carved wood\, single source light\, shadow. 30 x 13 x 2 inches. Photo by Erik Maahs.\n\n\n\nJoin ArtTable at the Greenwich Library’s Flinn Gallery for a tour of The Elusive Art of Kumi Yamashita co-led by the artist and Leslee Asch\, exhibition curator\, Flinn Gallery chair\, and member of ArtTable. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: Kumi Yamashita transforms simple materials into astonishing works of art. Discussing her shadow art and the elusive nature of light\, she explains\, “I sculpt using both light and shadow. I construct single or multiple objects and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow).” In addition to Yamashita’s Light & Shadow series\, the exhibition features provocative portraits crafted by meticulously winding a single\, unbroken sewing thread around thousands of small galvanized nails. Yamashita’s body of work showcases an astounding range of materials and techniques. \n\n\n\nLearn more about her practice in this interview with the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\n\nKumi Yamashita was born in Takasaki\, Japan.

Her solo exhibitions have been held at prestigious venues such as the Seattle Art Museum\, Boise Art Museum\, Roswell Museum\, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, Taipei’s Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall\, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay in Singapore\, Art Front Gallery in Tokyo\, and Kent Gallery in New York City.  \n\n\n\n\nYamashita has also participated in group exhibitions at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre\, the CODA Museum in the Netherlands\, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, Honolulu Museum of Art\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, Liverpool Biennial\, Southeast Center for Contemporary Art\, Scottish Parliament\, Karşı Sanat Çalışmaları in Istanbul\, and the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial in Japan.

SUMMARY:Los Angeles\, CA | Tour of 'Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism' with Catherine Taft at The Brick

Courtesy of the artist.\n\n\n\nJoin ArtTable for an exclusive tour of The Brick in its new home in East Hollywood! With Catherine Taft\, Deputy Director and Curator of The Brick (formerly LAXART)\, we will explore Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism\, one of over 70 exhibitions and programs supported by The Getty as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide. This inagural exhibition at The Brick\, where a pivotal institution in Los Angeles’ art scene embarks on its next chapter\, explores the interwoven histories of feminst and environmental thought and platforms a wide array of contemporary artists expanding the boundaries of these fields in the 21st century. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism\, on view through December 21\, 2024\, is inspired by four decades of ecofeminist thought and action in art. Ecofeminism is a theoretical and activist movement that locates critical connections between gender oppression and the exploitation of natural resources. In the U.S.\, it developed from the environmental\, anti-nuclear\, and feminist movements in the late 1970s and 1980s; in addition to their primary concerns around the subordination of nature and women\, ecofeminists sought to resist racism\, homophobia\, and the capitalist patriarchy. As quickly as the movement was developed\, artists began adopting an ecofeminist position\, producing ambitious\, often site-specific work that addressed the systemic subjection of women and the environment. \n\n\n\nLife on Earth uses ecofeminism as a both a lens and departure point\, bringing together eighteen international artists and collectives who present new methodologies for thinking-with our natural environment in the twenty-first century. These artists challenge anthropocentric notions around both gender and ecology to call for new positions that embrace communality\, intersectionality\, mythmaking\, joy\, and reparative action. Installations\, mixed-media sculptures\, video and performance art address themes including social ecologies\, the commons\, indigenous cosmologies\, deep time\, witchcraft\, hydrofeminism\, plant knowledge\, science fiction\, and speculative futures\, among other threads. Participating artists include Alliance of the Southern Triangle (A.S.T.)\, Alicia Barney Caldas\, Meech Boakye\, Carolina Caycedo\, Francesca Gabbiani\, Masumi Hayashi\, Institute of Queer Ecology\, Kite\, Leslie Labowitz Starus\, Maria Maea\, Otobong Nkanga\, yétúndé olagbaju\, Alicia Piller\, Aviva Rahmani\, Tabita Rezaire\, Yo-E Ryou\, Emilija Škarnulytė\, and A.L. Steiner.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout The Brick: The Brick is a nonprofit visual art space that promotes developments in contemporary culture through exhibitions\, publications\, and public programs. It was founded as LAXART by art historian and curator Lauri Firstenberg in 2005\, LAXART was created as a platform for emerging and under-recognized talent in Los Angeles. Evolving under the directorship of Hamza Walker\, who took the helm of the organization in 2016\, The Brick has expanded its mission to encompass thematic exhibitions that engage with a range of local and international artists at every stage of their careers. Through a range of free\, accessible offerings\, The Brick contextualizes contemporary art both socially and discursively. \n\n\n\nParking: The Brick recommends parking on Western Ave (metered)\, or on the side streets adjacent to The Brick. \n\n\n\nProgram Registration: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Member – $15\n\n\n\nFriend of Member – $20\n\n\n\nNon-Member – $25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
