Join ArtTable for an intimiate look at the first survey exhibition in the United States of Marta Minujín, a defining force of Latin American art whose trajectory intersected with the major artistic developments of the postwar period while reflecting a singular spirit and vision infused by her sharp intellect, irreverent humor, and performative presence. Hosted by The Jewish Museum, this tour will be led by Associate Curator, Rebecca Shaykin.

This extensive exhibition includes nearly 100 works organized to reflect Minujín’s bold experimentation over six decades. The exhibition charts Minujín’s influential career in Buenos Aires as well as time spent in Paris, New York, and Washington, DC, through a range of pioneering, mattress-based soft sculptures; fluorescent large-scale paintings; psychedelic drawings and performances; and vintage film footage. The artist’s ephemeral works – happenings, participatory installations, and monumental public art – are presented through rarely-seen photographs, video, and other documentation.

Curator-Led Tour of Marie Laurencin with Cindy Kang

January 11 | 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Join ArtTable Members for an intimate look at the fall exhibition Marie Laurencin: Sapphic Paris, the first major US exhibition dedicated to French artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956) in over 30 years. Laurencin’s highly original painting style defied categorization, as she moved seamlessly between the male-dominated avant-garde, literary and artistic circles, and the realms of fashion, ballet, and decorative arts. The exhibition is co-curated by Simonetta Fraquelli and Cindy Kang. Presenting more than 50 works, from self-portraits to collaborative decorative projects; from early cubist paintings to her signature work—feminine and discreetly queer, this exhibition examines how Laurencin’s visualization of a “Sapphic modernity” subtly but radically challenges existing narrative of modern European art.

Curator-Led Tour of “El Dorado: Myths of Gold” at the Americas Society

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Pt I: El Dorado: Myths of Gold, exploring the legend of El Dorado as a foundational myth of the Americas. Artists in the show include Olga de Amaral, Denilson Baniwa, Bruno Baptistelli, Andrés Bedoya, Wendy Cabrera Rubio, Leda Catunda, Chiriquí artist, Coclé artists, william cordova, Juan Covelli, Covens & Mortier, Harmonia Rosales, Tiago Sant’Ana, Julia Santos Solomon, Moara Tupinambá, Laura Vinci, and Alberta Whittle.

During the colonization of the Americas, colonial fantasies of an Indigenous kingdom replete with gold and precious stones quickly permeated the European imagination, galvanizing the invasion of the continent and serving as a justification for genocide as well as the destruction of ancestral territories and the environment. As we come to terms with the long-term sociopolitical and environmental effects of this dynamic, there is a pressing need to reevaluate its influence on our identification as human beings and members of a globalized society. By placing historical and contemporary artworks together, the exhibition facilitates dialogues between past and present to investigate how the myth has shaped the value of gold, as well as that of territories, peoples, religious beliefs, and nature.

About the Artist

Shahzia_sikander_Franz_Mayer_Studio_Munich_Photo_Credit_Daniel-Targownik

Born in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1969, Shahzia Sikander took up the traditional practice of miniature painting during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s military regime, at a time when the medium was deeply unpopular among young artists. Sikander earned a B.F.A. in 1991 from the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore, where she received rigorous training from master miniaturist Bashir Ahmad. She became the first woman to teach in the Miniature Painting Department at NCA, alongside Ahmad, and was the first artist from the department to challenge the medium’s technical and aesthetic framework. Sikander’s breakthrough work, The Scroll, 1989–90, received national critical acclaim in Pakistan, winning the prestigious Shakir Ali Award, the NCA’s highest merit award, and the Haji Sharif award for excellence in miniature painting, subsequently launching the medium into the forefront of NCA’s program, which brought international recognition to this medium within contemporary art practices. The artist moved to the United States to pursue an M.F.A. at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1993 to 1995; from 1995 to 1997, she participated in the CORE Program of the Glassell School of Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
