Gutai: Splendid Playground
at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Upper East Side - New York, NY, USA
Feb 15, 13 - May 08, 13

In February 2013, the Guggenheim Museum will open the first U.S. museum retrospective exhibition ever devoted to Gutai, the most influential artists collective and artistic movement in postwar Japan and among the most important international avant-garde movements of the 1950s and ’60s. The exhibition aims to demonstrate Gutai’s extraordinary range of bold and innovative creativity; to examine its aesthetic strategies in the cultural, social and political context of postwar Japan and the West; and to further establish Gutai in an expanded, transnational history and critical discourse of modern art. read more...

Shinique Smith: Bold as Love
at James Cohan Gallery, New York
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Feb 15, 13 - Mar 16, 13

Shinique Smith is inspired by the vast vocabulary of things we consume and discard. Examining the ways in which these objects resonate on a personal and social scale, Smith pursues the graceful and spiritual qualities of the written word and the everyday. In this new body of work, a free flow between paintings and sculptures ruminates on the interplay of chaos and restraint, balance and connection, and what is revealed and concealed. read more...

NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
at New Museum of Contemporary Art
Lower East Side - New York, NY, USA
Feb 13, 13 - May 26, 13

“NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” looks at art made and exhibited in New York over the course of one year. Centering on 1993, the exhibition is conceived as a time capsule, an experiment in collective memory that attempts to capture a specific moment at the intersection of art, pop culture, and politics. The social and economic landscape of the early ’90s was a cultural turning point both nationally and globally. read more...

Lebbeus Woods. Architect">Lebbeus Woods. Architect
at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA, USA
Feb 16, 13 - Jun 02, 13

Architect Lebbeus Woods (1940-2012) dedicated his career to probing architecture's potential to transform the individual and the collective. His visionary drawings depict places of free thought, sometimes in identifiable locations destroyed by war or natural disaster, but often in future cities. Woods, who sadly passed away last year as planning for this exhibition was under way, had an enormous influence on the field of architecture over the past three decades, and yet the built structures to his name are few. read more...

Destroy the Picture: Painting the Void, 1949-1962
at Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago
Chicago, IL, USA
Feb 16, 13 - Jun 02, 13

Destroy the Picture: Painting the Void, 1949–1962 focuses on one of the most significant developments in contemporary abstract painting: the artist’s literal assault on the picture plane. Responding to the physical and psychological destruction wrought by World War II—especially the existential crisis resulting from the atomic bomb—artists ripped, cut, burned, and affixed objects to the canvas in lieu of paint. Destroy the Picture emphasizes this internationally shared artistic sensibility in the context of devastating global change and dynamic artistic dialogues, offering an innovative and expansive view of art making in the postwar period. read more...

Richard Long: Land Art
at The Whitworth Art Gallery
Manchester, UK
Feb 16, 13 - Jun 16, 13

It was Richard Long who most emphatically changed the artist’s view from that of observing the landscape to journeying through it in his 1967 work A Line Made by Walking.
