CONSTELLATIONS: PAINTINGS FROM THE MCA COLLECTION
July 25 - October 18, 2009
Arranged in constellations, or groupings, of works drawn from the MCA Collection, this exhibition spans generations, subjects, and techniques to comment on the artists' diverse approaches to painting and its history. United by a common medium, these works emphasize the vast potential of brush, paint, and canvas to produce complex reflections on life and art. Rather than redefining what can be considered painting, Constellations explores how the medium continues to endure as a vibrant, vital, and relevant art form.
This exhibition is curated by Julie Rodrigues Widholm, Pamela Alper Associate Curator.
