Ian Cheng
at MoMA PS1
Long Island City - New York, NY, USA
Apr 09, 2017 - Sep 25, 2017

MoMA PS1 will present Ian Cheng’s (b. 1984) first U.S. museum solo presentation, featuring the artist’s complete Emissary trilogy (2015-2017), a series of three live simulations dedicated to the history of cognitive evolution. Using an engine for developing video games, Emissary is made up of open-ended animations with no fixed outcome or narrative—a format Cheng calls live simulation. These works ask us to imagine technology not as a subordinate reflection of our own minds, but as a tool to model a non-anthropomorphic vision of history and consciousness. read more...

FOCUS: Katherine Bernhardt
at Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
Ft. Worth, TX, USA
Apr 08, 2017 - Jul 09, 2017

Katherine Bernhardt’s vibrant and youthful paintings hover between abstraction and figuration. Recently, she has been working on paintings in which she juxtaposes everyday objects, such as those in Windex cigarettes basketball, 2016, that float flatly atop lushly painted, solid grounds of color. Her subjects abound in popular and consumer culture and are depicted in a simplified, flat, gestural style that approaches a cartoonish quality. read more...

Pity and Terror: Picasso’s Path to Guernica
at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Madrid, Spain
Apr 05, 2017 - Sep 04, 2017

The exhibition Pity and Terror in Picasso, opening at the Museo Reina Sofía in April 2017, 80 years after Guernica’s first showing, will have the great mural at its heart. It will look again at Picasso’s depiction of modern warfare – war from the air, death from a distance, aimed at the destruction of whole populations – and the special kinds of agony, bewilderment, and terror such warfare brings with it.  In particular, the exhibition will focus on the roots of Guernica’s imagery in Picasso’s previous turn, during the years following 1925, toward scenes of frenzied or ecstatic human action, often tinged with danger and sometimes tipping over into outright violence: wild dancing, ominous confrontation between artist and model, monstrous sexual grapplings on the beach, women wedged in armchairs with their mouths open in a scream or a predatory roar. read more...

Masotta has been described as “a true modernizing hero,” “a prototypical sensibility of the 1970s” and a “lighthouse-writer. read more...
