"Beyond Reality: Hyperrealism and American Culture" - Vero Beach Museum of Art, Vero Beach, Florida
|
|
February 5, 2012 - May 13, 2012
|
| |
The show will include works of art that are closely associated with the concept of photo-realism and ultra-illusionistic paintings and sculpture that add an expressive dimension to the viewer’s understanding of realism. The works of art will make the viewer aware of the breadth of subject matter and varying styles that have been explored in hyperrealist painting and sculpture since the 1970's. The exhibition will demonstrate the historical connections between contemporary hyper-realism and Courbet’s concept that "Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it."

"The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1990" Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Houston, Texas.
|
|
January 21, 2012 - April 15, 2012
|
| |
This survey of leading women artists examines the crucial feminist contribution to the development of deconstructivism in the 1970s and 1980s. As the term suggests, deconstructivism involved taking apart and examining source material, generally borrowed from the mass media, to expose the ways commercial images reveal the mechanisms of power. Women had a particularly high stake in this kind of examination and were disproportionately represented among artists who practiced it. The exhibition includes 68 photographs, prints, paintings, videos, and installations by 22 artists and one artist’s collaborative.

| |
This exhibition will encompass a range of Wayne's paintings from over the past ten years. The aim is not to present a comprehensive survey, but rather to explore specific ongoing themes in the artist’s work, including his interest in the mechanics of light and the dynamics of power, as they are articulated through architecture and crowds.
