OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 6 Richard Artschwager!,

OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 6 Richard Artschwager!, a retrospective highlighting the artist's unique exploration of sculpture, painting, and drawing, opens tomorrow. Associated with Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual art, Artschwager has never fit easily into any of these categories, and this exhibition delves into his influential legacy. Don't miss your last chance to see Yayoi Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water, Oskar Fischinger's Space Light Art, and Signs & Symbols, all closing this Sunday. Special timed tickets are required for Fireflies, so see our websitefor information before your visit. And join us on November 5 when artist Sarah Sze discusses her work with Whitney director Adam D.

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 "At once relaxing and stimulating, and possibly hypnotic"—Artinfo Through October 28 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.” Fireflies on the Water Through October 28 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. Special timed tickets are required for entry into Fireflies on the Water. Tickets are free with Museum admission and available day-of-visit on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend you arrive early.Wade Guyton OS "The Whitney Museum has a hit on its hands: a beautiful show organized by a young curator that makes a cogent case for the work of a young artist."—The New York Times Through January 13, 2013 Over the past decade, New York–based artist Wade Guyton has pioneered a groundbreaking body of work that explores our changing relationships to images and artworks through the use of common digital technologies, such as the desktop computer, scanner, and inkjet printer. Guyton’s purposeful misuse of these tools to make paintings and drawings results in beautiful accidents that relate to the ways in which we haltingly navigate the visual and technological barrage of our time. Richard Artschwager! "The last great minimalist"—New York Magazine October 25, 2012–February 3, 2013 Richard Artschwager had his first solo exhibition at the age of forty-two, in 1965 at Leo Castelli Gallery. Since then his art has been shown throughout the world, and his enigmatic and diverse work has been influential, yet not thoroughly understood. This exhibition is a comprehensive review of Artschwager’s remarkable creative exploration of the mediums of sculpture, painting, and drawing, and is the first retrospective exhibition of Artschwager’s work since the one organized by the Whitney in 1988.. . . as apple pie On continuous view 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 Robert Bechtle, Enrique Chagoya, Howard Cook, William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Willard Midgette, Joseph Pennell, Benton Spruance, and Stow Wengenroth. Lectures, Talks, and Performances  BACK TO TOPGallery Talk: Adam McEwen and Jennifer Gross on Richard Artschwager! November 1 7 pm Join artist Adam McEwen and curator Jennifer Gross for a special look atRichard Artschwager’s work and legacy. $8 general admission; $6 senior citizens and students; free for members.Eleanor Antin: Conversations with Stalin November 2 6:30 pm As one of the first artists to re-introduce autobiography, narrative, and performance back into the art world in the 1960s and ’70s, Eleanor Antin created an imaginary theater of personae and mythological characters, dramatizing contemporary personal and political narratives through a kind of historical time travel. In this performance, she reads four chapters from her coming-of-age memoir Conversations with Stalin, a no-holds-barred black comedy of growing up in New York City. Free with Museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6–9 pm; no special tickets or reservations are required.Walter Annenberg Annual Lecture: Sarah Sze November 5 7 pm Known for large-scale sculptural installations, wall-mounted reliefs, and works on paper, Sarah Sze transforms our perception of quotidian items, such as notebook paper, plastic spoons, string, and straws, by assembling works of extraordinary beauty, movement, balance, and surprise. In this eighth Walter Annenberg Lecture, Sze will speak about her work in conversation with Adam D. Weinberg, the Whitney’s Alice Pratt Brown Director. Advance reservations are currently at capacity, but we encourage you to come to the Museum on the night of the event for seating availability.

Richard Artschwager Blps Project  BACK TO TOP In conjunction with Richard Artschwager's retrospective, a series of the artist’s blps will be installed along and on the horizon of the High Line near the future home of the Whitney, as well as on the Museum’s current building uptown. Artschwager first created his blps—a word coined by the artist and pronounced, “blips”—in the late 1960s. This installation will consist of black lozenge-shaped marks meant to inspire focused looking and draw our attention to the places and things around us that often go unnoticed. Visit whitney.org soon for more information on this project, including installation locations and dates.

The selections will be based on the main concept of “Identities” and on all its reflections on cities, bodies, society and cultures, mixing borders between them. Everyday we deal with a multitude of different identities and roles: we face the public life creating and adapting our social identities; our body and aesthetic tastes modify and are modified by our physical and sexual identities; our whole being evolves as well as contemporary cultures and modern cities do. People, environments, societies, progress and all their inputs shape and regenerate our individualities; they shift and overlap with our selves creating a new stimulating world.
The event is open to video art, photography, computer graphics, installations and performances.
International ArtExpo is opening a new division dedicated to the Computer Graphics. International talents are invited to present their artworks (images and animations) created with the computer graphics techniques to include in this event.
