Join Jennifer Vinegas Rocha, Assistant Curator at The Broad, on an exclusive tour of Mickalene Thomas: All About Love. This major 20-year survey of Thomas’ work was co-organized by the Hayward Gallery in London and The Broad, in partnership with the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.

About the exhibition: Debuting at The Broad with over 90 works made by the artist over the last 20 years, Mickalene Thomas: All About Love is the first major international tour of this pioneering artist’s work. The exhibition highlights how Mickalene Thomas has mastered and innovated within several disciplines, from mixed-media painting and collage to installation and photography. The exhibition shares its title and several of its themes with the pivotal text by feminist author bell hooks, in which love is an active process rooted in healing, carving a path away from domination and towards collective liberation. Through her queries into pop culture and mass media, Thomas offers a reverberating demand for Black women to be seen and understood, and for viewers to become what hooks calls “practitioners of love.”

About Jennifer Vinegas Rocha: Jennifer Vanegas Rocha is Assistant Curator at The Broad where she has provided support to major special exhibitions and catalogue publications like William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows (2023) and Keith Haring: Art Is for Everybody (2023). Most recently, she co-curated the collection exhibition, Desire, Knowledge, and Hope (with Smog) with Ed Schad, Curator and Publications Manager. She received a Master of Arts in Art History from the University of California, Riverside. She was awarded the 2019-2020 UCR Gluck Fellowship and 2020-2021 UCR Family Learning Fellowship. She received her Bachelor of Art in Art History from California State University, Dominguez Hills where she was the recipient of the 2016 Winston Hewitt Art & Design Endowed Scholarship and the 2016-2017 CSUDH Praxis Student Fellowship.

Join us for a tour of Liliana Porter: The Task at Dia Bridgehampton, led by the artist and Humberto Moro, co-curator of the exhibition and Deputy Director of Program, Dia Art Foundation. This Artist Talk is generously supported by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

About the exhibition: A prominent figure in the early Conceptual and feminist art movements, Liliana Porter contests the spaces between reality and fiction across a variety of media. Central to her long-standing research is the subject of time—which she perceives as nonlinear and dislocated—manifest in the artist’s early prints and photographic works from the 1970s, later images and installations from the 1990s incorporating found objects and collected figurines, and, most recently, her films and plays. By creating unexpected scenes that are both humorous and intriguing, Porter employs, almost as a sort of conceptual trap, playful strategies to reflect on political and otherwise contentious subject matter, as well as philosophical questions concerning time, reality, and representation. Liliana Porter: The Task is curated by Humberto Moro, deputy director of program, and Liv Cuniberti, curatorial assistant.

Join us for a tour of Are You Joking? Women And Humor with Sheri Pasquarella, an ArtTable New Leadership awardee and Executive Director of The Church in Sag Harbor—one of the most dynamic new arts venues in the New York area.

About the exhibition: Curated by Sara Cochran, Are You Joking? Women and Humor features the work of 40 female-identifying artists across all media, including Nina Chanel Abney, Lynda Benglis, Katherine Bernhardt, Nicole Eisenman, Wendy Red Star, Cindy Sherman, Mickalene Thomas, and Lisa Yuskavage. The goals are two-fold. The first is to counter the tired stereotypes and clichés about women not being funny or able to take a joke. The second is to illustrate the different forms and topics of humor in contemporary art from artistic jokes, political outrages, bodily functions and appearances, cultural stereotypes, and sex and death, to the absurd and surreal, puns and slapstick as well as poking fun at sacred cows of art and its institutions. This exhibition gathers works that are satirical, serious, sweet, self-deprecating, ironic, mocking, strange, surreal, angry, subversive, and even gross. It takes art off its pedestal and puts the viewer in a position to laugh or shake their head.

About The Church: Founded by April Gornik and Eric Fischl and opened in 2021, The Church is an interdisciplinary arts center housed in a deconsecrated church built in 1835. Its mission is to foster creativity on the East End and to honor the living history of Sag Harbor as a maker village, championing new and traditional technologies through collaboration, education, and outreach. In addition to performances and visual arts exhibition, The Church hosts residencies for artist and writers and is home to publicly accessible arts and design library and garden.

About LongHouse Reserve: LongHouse Reserve is a 16-acre integrated environment in East Hampton, New York, created by artist, collector and world-renowned textile designer and weaver Jack Lenor Larsen (1927-2020), serving the community with vast open space, programs in art, nature, and wellness, and providing a sanctuary for Long Island and beyond. The sculpture garden, featuring more than 60 outdoor works, encourages exploration and contemplation for new and repeat visitors alike. As of this year, the garden is fully open to the public for education and enjoyment, with a next chapter of activating Larsen’s home (a modernist structure based on the Shinto Shrine at Ise) and displaying the extensive craft and design collections.

Experience LACMA from an expert perspective on a curator-led tour of Simone Leigh. Naima J. Keith, Vice President of Education and Public Programs and a curator of the exhibition’s presentation at LACMA, will lead ArtTable’s exclusive tour. A leading curator and educator who previously worked at CAAM and the Studio Museum in Harlem, Keith was ArtTable’s New Leadership awardee in 2018.

About the exhibition: Simone Leigh, a traveling exhibition organized by the ICA Boston and co-presented in Los Angeles by LACMA and the California African American Museum, is the first comprehensive survey of the richly layered work of this celebrated artist. LACMA’s presentation features approximately 20 years of Leigh’s production in ceramic, bronze, video, and installation, as well as works from her 2022 Venice Biennale presentation. Over the past two decades, Leigh has created works exploring questions of Black femme subjectivity and knowledge production. Addressing a wide swath of historical periods, geographies, and traditions, her art references vernacular and hand-made processes from across the African diaspora, as well as forms traditionally associated with African art and architecture. Accompanied by a major monograph, this exhibition offers visitors a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of Leigh’s complex and profoundly moving work.

ArtTable is pleased to invite you to explore Lily Wong’s process and current projects on a visit to the artist’s studio in Lower Manhattan.

Lily Wong (b. 1989 Seattle, USA) is a figurative painter whose work taps into the vulnerabilities and complexities of yearning. Personal and poetic, the protagonists in her work are made of experiences that extend beyond the physical. They are composed of sensations, moods, inarticulable interiorities, moving through dreamlike space and disoriented time. Color is its own character, a pulse in the circulatory system of the painting which is often a map of something beyond the depictive. Wong’s paintings probe at the way that literal and metaphorical fracturings influence the body’s relationship to memory, intimacy and desire.

Lily Wong’s studio is located in Lower Manhattan, a short walk from the World Trade Center. The exact address will be shared with attendees prior to the visit. Learn more about her practice in Juxtapoz and on the Cerebral Women podcast.
