Please Join Us For a Tour of Anonymous Was a Woman With Curator Vesela Sretenović
Kreeger Museum
Wednesday, December 10, 3:00 pm
Curator-led tour of Anonymous Was a Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout.
Curated by WPC member Vesela Sretenović, Anonymous Was a Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout dovetails with the recent group exhibition Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years organized by and presented at the New York University’s Grey Art Museum and co-curated by Nancy Princenthal and Vesela Sretenović.
The Grey exhibition celebrated the first quarter-century of the Anonymous Was a Woman (AWAW) grant program. Established in 1996 by philanthropist and artist Susan Unterberg, the program is dedicated to supporting mid-career women artists living and working in the United States. Its name refers to a phrase in Virginia Woolf’s essay A Room of One’s Own, which underscores the challenges that creative women have historically faced in a male-dominated society.
The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition focuses exclusively on four AWAW recipients who reside and work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The Kreeger Museum’s presentation spotlights the most recent work of its participating artists, picking up where the Grey show left off.
The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition not only celebrates artists based in the DMV area —aligning with the Museum’s mission—but also extends the reach of the AWAW program beyond New York City, further disseminating its mission to support and bring greater visibility to the creative output of women artists.
More information about the Kreeger exhibition can be found here.
Attendance is limited to 20 WPC members and their guests. Please RSVP by December 5.
Onsite parking is limited. Carpooling and ride share is encouraged. Please note that WPC program participants will be charged museum admission ($15 or $10 for seniors). There will be no charge for WPC members who are also members of the Kreeger Museum. Please bring proof of your Kreeger Membership.
Please Join us for a Curator-Led Tour of Deconstructing Nature: Environmental Transformation in the Lucas Collection
Baltimore Museum of Art
Thursday, January 8, 11:00 am
Please join Dr. Robin Owen Joyce for a tour of Deconstructing Nature: Environmental Transformation in the Lucas Collection. Dr. Joyce is the co-curator of Deconstructing Nature and the BMA’s Assistant Curator of Academic Engagement.
Turning to the moment when industrial capitalism first made indelible marks on the non-human world, this exhibition of nineteenth-century French works on paper investigates how artists both documented and contributed to the transformation of the environment into a resource to be hoarded or shared. Foregrounding the ecological issues at stake in these works opens up new ways of understanding extractive relationships among people, including imperialism and capitalism. The presentation is drawn from the George A. Lucas Collection, a cornerstone of the Baltimore Museum of Art’s collection of works on paper.
Attendance is limited to 25 WPC members and their guests.
Please RSVP by December 15.
