Call to Artists - The NMAI Art Market


Current & Future Exhibitions at The Whitney

Yayoi Kusama, Sharon Hayes, Oskar Fischinger & More
Yayoi Kusama

Whitney Museum
JULY 6–17
Yayoi Kusama, a retrospective exploring over six decades of work by the legendary artist, opens July 12. Encompassing an astonishing array of media, the exhibition includes the artist's signature patterns of dots and nets as well as many lesser-known works. Kusama's immersive installation, Fireflies on the Water, is also currently on view in the Museum's lobby gallery.
And don't miss Sharon Hayes: There's so much I want to say to you, which The New York Times called "entrancing and original." The exhibition explores the connections between love, politics, and history through found footage, video and audio recordings, and ephemera.
We hope to see you at the Whitney!

Singular Visions
Through July 15
Alexander Calder
With our latest reinstallation of the permanent collection galleries, the Whitney invites visitors to slow down and experience art in a dramatic new way. Ten highlights from the collection, many of which have not been exhibited in years, are presented in their own rooms, creating spaces for intimate and powerful encounters with a single work of art. The variety of mediums and sizes from small to sprawling reveal how artists of the last five decades have stretched the boundaries of what an artwork can be. The latest rotation of works featured in Singular Visions includes Alexander Calder's Calder's Circus and Jasper Johns' Three Flags.
Sharon Hayes:
There's so much I want to say to you

Through September 9
Sharon Hayes
Sharon Hayes (b. 1970) is a New York–based artist who uses photography, film, video, sound, and performance to examine the nexus between politics, history, speech, and desire. This exhibition brings together existing pieces and newly commissioned works, all of which articulate forms of what Hayes calls “speech acts.” The works are presented within an environment designed by Hayes for the Whitney’s third floor galleries, in collaboration with artist Andrea Geyer.
Yayoi Kusama
July 12–September 30, 2012
Yayoi Kusama
Well known for her use of dense patterns of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense, large-scale environments, Yayoi Kusama works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance, and immersive installation. Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama came to the United States in 1957 and quickly found herself at the epicenter of the New York avant-garde. After achieving fame through groundbreaking exhibitions and art “happenings,” she returned to her native country in 1973 and is now one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary artists. This retrospective features works spanning Kusama’s career.
Kusama's Fireflies on the Water, a work in the Whitney's collection, is being shown in conjunction with Yayoi Kusama and is on view in the lobby gallery.
Signs & Symbols
Through October 28
Adolph Gottlieb
Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, Signs & Symbols sheds new light on the developments of abstraction in American art during the 1940s and 1950s. Looking beyond Abstract Expressionism, toward the figurative and calligraphic “signs and symbols” present in much of the highly controlled work of this period, this exhibition features works by seminal artists including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Adolph Gottlieb, among others.
Oskar Fischinger:
Space Light Art—A Film Environment

Through October 28
Oskar Fischinger
This exhibition presents one of the first multimedia projections ever made: Oskar Fischinger’s Raumlichtkunst (Space Light Art), a re-creation of his multiple-screen film events, first shown in Germany in 1926, and recently restored by the Center for Visual Music in Los Angeles. Radical in format, its display of abstract shapes and colors produces, according to Fischinger, “an intoxication by light from a thousand sources.”
. . . as apple pie
On continuous view
Stow Wengenroth
Images, like words, can trigger a cultural or emotional response to a shared national ethos. Artists have employed images—sometimes straightforwardly, often obliquely—in order to comment on a country, its people, its political or social goals, and its self-image. This exhibition explores this phenomenon through a rotating installation, drawn from the Whitney’s collection, of works on paper by a diverse group of artists including William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Jasper Johns, Elizabeth “Grandma” Layton, Willard Midgette, LeRoy Neiman, Joseph Pennell, Charles Ray, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, and Stow Wengenroth.
Fireflies on the Water
On continuous view
Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama’s depictions of seemingly endless space have been a central focus of her artistic career. Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water (2002)—with its carefully constructed environment of lights, mirrors, and water—is one of the outstanding examples of this kind of installation, which creates a space in which individual viewers are invited to transcend their sense of self.
Fireflies on the Water, a work from the Whitney's collection, is being shown in conjunction with Yayoi Kusama, which will be on view on the Museum's fourth floor July 12 through September 30.

Call to Artists - Seeking Proposals for West Main Street Sculptures

 
Norman Public Arts Board Seeks Proposals
 For West Main Street Sculptures 

DEADLINE: JULY 20, 2012 by 4:00pm 

On behalf of the Norman Arts Council and the City of Norman, the Norman Public Arts Board seeks to purchase two pieces of permanent outdoor sculptures for placement in "traffic bumps outs" at the corners of West Main/ Webster and West Main/ Santa Fe. The two pieces will be selected independent of each other.

The goal of this project is to enhance the heavily trafficked intersections that visually anchor the downtown arts district.  This area also serves as a pathway to several churches in an established neighborhood, the public library, City of Norman Complex, and acts as one of many entrances to the University of Oklahoma.

The installation should embody a theme representative of central Oklahoma.  This theme could relate, but is not to be limited to any characteristics on this list:  Oklahoma weather, Native American heritage, civic character, complexity of a university city, cultural diversity of the third largest city in the state, the pioneer spirit, and the natural habitats or environment of the area.  The style of the sculpture may be a traditional, architectural, figurative, or contemporary interpretation of the theme and may be made of any material.
