SUMMARY:A Two-Way Mirror: Double Consciousness in Contemporary Glass by Black Artists
DESCRIPTION:A Two-Way Mirror features works in glass by international contemporary Black artists who use this material to explore social\, cultural\, gender\, and racial identity. Due to its reflectivity and translucence\, glass is an especially effective medium to examine notions of identity as in the theory of double consciousness presented by W.E.B. Du Bois in his seminal work\, The Souls of Black Folk. \nCurated by Jabari Owens-Bailey\, the exhibition features work by Anthony Amoako-Attah\, Radcliffe Bailey\, Layo Bright\, Crystal Z. Campbell\, Chris Day\, Cheryl Derricotte\, Alejandro Guzman\, Mildred Howard\, Jason McDonald\, Parfums de Vigny\, Ebony G. Patterson\, Pellatt & Green\, Related Tactics\, Salviati and Company\, Joyce J. Scott\, Shikeith\, Therman Statom\, Renée Stout\, Barbara Earl Thomas\, Hank Willis Thomas\, Leo Tecosky\, Kara Walker\, Fred Wilson. \nEXHIBITION-RELATED PROGRAMS:\nA Two-Way Mirror: Double Consciousness in Contemporary Glass by Black Artists Opening Reception I Friday\, February 6\, 2026\, 5:30-8:30 pm \n \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of Truist Bank\, Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass\, Ms. Mary Hale Corkran\, Ms. Alexandra Rosen and Mr. Donald Cooney\, Ms. Vicki S.

SUMMARY:Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl
DESCRIPTION:Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl \nWayne White is a multi-faceted artist\, illustrator\, and musician who has charted a kaleidoscopic path through multiple frontiers of art and culture. From early life in Chattanooga and Emmy award-winning work as Art Director for Pee Wee’s Playhouse\, to orchestrating music videos for Peter Gabriel and The Smashing Pumpkins\, White traverses the pop culture landscape. The Revenge of the Knoxville Girl is an eclectic survey show that convenes an array of White’s Word Paintings\, sketchbooks\, small sculpture\, and papier-mâché heads. It will also feature a monumentally scaled pair of puppets that provide a stage for the beleaguered Knoxville Girl of murder ballad notoriety to return and stand triumphant. \nThis show is presented in collaboration with the Big Ears Festival and is part of the 2026 edition of the Tennessee Triennial. \nArtist Bio:\nWayne White is an American artist\, art director\, illustrator\, & puppeteer.

In 1986\, Wayne became a designer for the hit television show Pee-wee’s Playhouse\, and his work was awarded with three Emmys. After traveling to Los Angeles with his wife\, Mimi Pond\, Wayne continued to work in television and designed sets and characters for shows such as Shining Time Station\, Beakman’s World\, Riders In The Sky\, and Bill & Willis. He also worked in the music video industry\, winning Billboard and MTV Music Video Awards as an art director for seminal music videos including The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Tonight\, Tonight’ and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Big Time.’ \nSince 2000\, Wayne has shown his paintings\, sculptures and installations in over 40 exhibitions worldwide.

SUMMARY:Knoxville Collects: Susana Navarro
DESCRIPTION:Knoxville Collects: Susana Navarro \nKramer Education Center \nApril 3 through May 24\, 2026 \nReception May 17\, 12-2pm \n  \nThe Knoxville Museum of Art will celebrate the many interests and idiosyncrasies inhabiting the collections that live within our city. From icons of art history to eccentric compilations of kitsch\, this series offers snapshots of the many individuals who help make Knoxville unique. \n  \nThis inaugural presentation of Knoxville Collects features the collection of Susana Navarro\, a Knoxville-based collector and entrepreneur whose perspective is shaped by her upbringing in Mexico City\, and by a family of women who embody resilience and leadership. Trained as an engineer\, she co-founded Navarro Research and Engineering in 1993\, which works in nuclear\, environmental\, and clean energy fields across the United States. Navarro built her collection in a very personal manner\, marrying art historical research with works that reflect her experiences and ambitions for the world; what she had seen\, and what she hoped to see in the future. \n  \nRather than organizing works by movement or chronology\, Navarro brings together modern Latin American and French Post-Impressionist paintings in close proximity\, allowing them to speak across difference. Through this selection\, visitors are offered a window into Navarro’s life\, her way of seeing\, and the objects that accompany her. \n  \nImage: Diego Rivera Vendedor de Maiz 1944
