MORE WINTER BREAK

  • Landscape Without Boundaries — Significant works by such artists as Robert Arneson, Joan Brown, Bruce Conner, Gladys Nilsson, Martin Ramirez, Wayne Thiebaud and William T.

But, after ColorForm closes Dec. 29, and after the museum’s regular Monday closure, Dec. 30, and the holiday closures, Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, the museum will not reopen until the winter season celebration, 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26 (after being closed from Jan. 2 to 25 for installation).

Here’s what’s new for winter:

  • “Stephen Kaltenbach: The Beginning and The End” — This exhibition by the Ƶ alumnus (Bachelor of Arts, 1966, and Master of Arts, 1967) considers his engagement with time as a principal theme across his remarkably diverse career, which encompasses bronze time capsules, advertisements placed anonymously in Artforum magazine in 1968-69, and the monumental photorealist painting Portrait of My Father (1972-79). Through May 10. Read more about the Kaltenbach exhibition in this Ƶ news release.
  • Gesture: The Human Figure After Abstraction” — Selections from the Manetti Shrem Museum, by first-generation artists of the Ƶ art department.

Through January 2021.

The NEW ERA installation, which opened in September, will carry over into the winter and spring seasons, closing June 14. Set within a hexagonal pavilion built into the gallery space, NEW ERA features three projectors set opposite three mirrored walls, putting viewers in the middle of a poetic and visual narrative about humanity’s history and future.
