Please join us at The Dorsky Museum on
Saturday, September 8, 2012, from 5-7 pm
To celebrate our two new exhibitions:
Curated by Hiroko Ikegami with Reiko Tomii
Sara Bedrick Gallery
This exhibition examines the 50-year career of Ushio Shinohara, an indispensable player in the field of global art history. Born in Japan in 1932, Shinohara was active in the Tokyo avant-garde art scene. From 1958-64, a critically important period of postwar Japanese art, he was a notorious regular of the annual Yomiuri Independent Exhibition and a founding member of a short-lived avant-garde group Neo Dada. Known for his Mohawk hairdo, he invented Boxing Painting, his version of "true" action.
Russel Wright: The Nature of Design
Curated by Donald Albrecht and Dianne Pierce
Morgan Anderson, Howard Greenberg Family, and Corridor Galleries
Russel Wright: The Nature of Design explores the work and philosophy of renowned industrial designer Russel Wright, whose former home in the Hudson Valley-Manitoga-is now a national historic landmark. The exhibition focuses on one of Wright's most pervasive preoccupations, which also has much relevance today: the relationship of humankind with the natural world. While examining Wright's entire career from the 1920s through the 1970s, this exhibition will focus on his work between 1945 and 1968, when Wright increasingly designed in experimental and innovative ways.
Both exhibitions are on display through December 16, 2012.
