SUMMARY:Currents: Contemporary Art from the KMA Collection
DESCRIPTION:Currents: Contemporary Art from the KMA Collection \nOn view in the Terrace Level South Gallery \nCurrents examines recent directions and developments in international contemporary art. This continually-evolving exhibition features a curated arrangement of works from the KMA’s collection by emerging and established artists working in East Tennessee and beyond. In the process\, we can locate regional identity within a broader context\, and place cross-cultural movements into open dialogue. Recent additions to the collection are regularly seen in Currents for the first time\, and placed into a dynamic forum with works that remain contemporary. Each and every iteration of Currents will look and feel different\, reflecting the continually evolving state of art today. \nPresented by: \nJune and Rob Heller \nWith special thanks to: \n      \n

SUMMARY:No-Man’s-Land
DESCRIPTION:No-Man’s-Land | August 13 – November 8\, 2026 \nOpening Reception Thursday\, August 13th – 5:30 PM \nInspired by the visionary work of Kentucky coal-miner-turned-evangelist Harrison Mayes after he experienced a life-changing epiphany\, No-Man’s-Land explores genres\, beings\, and geographies that exceed singular definition. Born in Tennessee in 1898\, Mayes’ placed concrete beacons across the country\, with plans for them to reach outer space\, and beyond. He installed these markers in so-called “no-man’s-land”—narrow\, ambiguous strips of land between state and private property where no one authority could claim jurisdiction. \nThis exhibition looks to artists who work in similarly uncharted territory. Bringing together contemporary practices that move through the borderlands between bodies\, spiritual traditions\, cultures\, countries\, and planets\, No-Man’s-Land considers how art inhabits and transforms these thresholds\, envisioning new ways of being in the spaces between. \nFeatured Artists (alphabetically):  \n\nSeba Calfuqueo\nAda Friedman\nGuillermo Galindo\nEddie Owens Martin (St. EOM)\nHarrison Mayes\nErin Jane Nelson\nSarah M. Rodriguez\nSuzanne Treister\nSaya Woolfalk\nJoseph Elmer Yoakum\n\n*See below for Artist’s Bios \n  \n \n \n \n \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: \nMcCarty\, Holsaple\, McCarty Architects\, Inc.\, Vicki S. Kinser & John Jarnagin\, Debbie & Jimmy Jones\, and Susan French

SUMMARY:Hai-Wen Lin - bittersun
DESCRIPTION:Hai-Wen Lin – bittersun | October 2026 through February 2027 \nIn this forthcoming exhibition\, Taiwanese-American artist Hai-Wen Lin fashions garments as kites: creating sculptures that move between the body and the environment. Made with the intimacy of clothing and the logic of flight\, the works draw on visual traditions from Buddhist jiasha robes to Appalachian quilts\, becoming a practice of “tending”—a way\, as the artist says “to clothe the wind.” With delicacy and desire\, these works also care for bodies and landscapes that shift as constantly as the seasons. Moving between field and sky\, Lin’s work asks how we carry one another forward and what it means to belong—to the living\, the land\, and the cycles that tie them together.

SUMMARY:Kevin Beasley
DESCRIPTION:The Appalachian Mountains\, which govern the winding highway traveled by artist Kevin Beasley during the development of his recent work\, can be described as “fold mountains” – created from two or more of the Earth’s tectonic plates pushing together. At these intersecting shores\, rock and debris are compressed into and within each other\, shedding individuality to forge a shared landscape. \nAkin to the convergent layers of geography and people that have formed this region\, Beasley’s work binds together disparate elements to re-fashion our understanding of place\, material\, and memory. This is a tapestry-like arena where history lives more concurrently than sequentially\, with traces and traumas floating within the fog of time. \nDrawing on his roots in the Southeast\, Kevin Beasley’s exhibition will navigate the multi-layered terrain of this region. Using textiles such as raw cotton and weathered clothing\, Beasley transforms familiar materials into landscapes both intimate and expansive\, connecting the region’s complex sociopolitical identity within his own childhood experiences.
