What's Neu @ the NEUBERGER Museum of Art


OPENING September 13th

BRITISH SUBJECTS: IDENTITY AND SELF-FASHIONING 1967-2009
September 13, 2009 - December 13, 2009

The past 40 years have seen changes both in what it means to be British and in conceptions of selfhood and self-portraiture. These changes are addressed in British Subjects which will present nearly 60 works by artists who draw on and depart from the conventions of self-portraiture, delineate new possibilities of self-fashioning and self-representation and visualize new notions of Britishness identity and subjectivity. Works include video, painting and sculpture.

WHAT'S NEU?
RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE
NEUBERGER COLLECTION


What's Neu? includes a selection of contemporary painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture that have entered the Neuberger Museum of Art's permanent collection over the past five years.

Highlights include Oliver Herring's ethereal sculptures knitted from brightly-colored plastic bags to create a sweater and a cushion; Beverly Semmes' Orange Hole, a monumentally-scaled orange velvet dress that cascades down a wall and onto the floor encircling a terracotta vase; and Taylor McKimens' Truck a large, free-standing, three-dimensional drawing inspired by comic books and Mexican tourist art.


Works by artists Gregory Crewdson, Luis Gispert, Suzanne McClelland, Doug and Mike Starn, and Ryan Trecartin will also be featured.
