SUMMARY:Anne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave
DESCRIPTION:Wilson’s practice extends the relational in terms of labor\, collaboration\, and identity construction\, blending pedagogy with aesthetic production. Her work has been exhibited extensively including exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum\, London; the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa\, Japan; the Contemporary Arts Museum\, Houston; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; and as part of the 2002 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art. \nAnne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave is an exhibition organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art\, installed by Wilson to investigate the crisis of production and skill based textile labor. Included is Rewinds\, a new work created entirely in glass; video documentation of Wind-Up: Walking the Warp\, a 2008 performance in Chicago; and a large site-specific project\, Local Industry\, that takes the form of an active weaving/winding factory set up in the museum space. Run over the course of several months\, this project will involve the Knoxville community in the collaborative production of a unique bolt of cloth. \nFor more photos of weavers around the world\, click here. \nFor more photo’s of women’s woven\, textiles click here. \nFor more photo’s of Anne Wilson’s process\, click here. \n  \nView Exhibit Website \nAdditional Resources:\nAnne Wilson Lecture \nExhibition Research:\nAnne Wilson and studio interns research utilizing libraries\, the Internet\, studio practices\, interviews\, and conversations. Kimberly Pence is the research lead. This is an in-process compilation of information\, never intended to be comprehensive. \nBibliography:\nExperienced weavers from Knoxville and surrounding states\, as well as a “Chicago to Knoxville” group of weavers\, are invited to take turns weaving a continuous bolt of weft-faced\, selvedge-to-selvedge\, striped cloth. Once one weaver has completed a passage of stripes\, the next weaver responds to that passage and continues weaving. Proceeding this way\, although abstract\, relates to the Surrealist exercise of “exquisite corpse” drawing. The completed cloth bolt will be given to the KMA collection with an archive of all who participated. \nWoven Stripes + Bands:\nThis log presents a diversity of woven textiles showing warp stripes and weft bands from various countries and time periods. Libby O’Bryan was the primary researcher of images. Emily Nachison added material\, color corrected\, and formatted the images with text. Olivia Valentine worked from this image bank to create the flat screen display in the exhibition. \nHow to Weave:

SUMMARY:Threads of Perception: Devorah Sperber
DESCRIPTION:Using ordinary spools of thread\, Sperber creates pixilated\, inverted images of masterpieces\, which appear as colorful abstractions to the naked eye. When viewed with optical devices\, however\, the works becomes immediately recognizable as the famous paintings. \nThe thread spools works are hung upside down in reference to the fact that the lens of the eye projects an inverted image of the world onto the retina\, which is corrected by the brain. A clear acrylic sphere\, positioned in front of each work\, functions like the human eye and brain\, not only inverting but also focusing the image so that it appears as a sharp\, faithful\, right-side-up reproduction of the famous painting. \nThe concept was based on the technology of print making and how mechanical reproductions alter images and the scale of artworks as they exist in “the mind’s eye.” Sperber selected The Last Supper and Mona Lisa because they are two of the most recognizable and reproduced images in the history of art. \nCheck out Devorah Sperber’s website here. \nFor more exhibition images click here. \nInterested in the links between art\, science\, and technology through the ages\, New York artist Devorah Sperber deconstructs familiar images to address the way the brain processes visual information versus the way we think we see. “As a visual artist\,” she says\, “I cannot think of a topic more stimulating and yet so basic than the act of seeing—how the human brain makes sense of the visual world.” \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nDevorah Sperber: Threads of Perception  \nDevorah Sperber Lecture

SUMMARY:Anton Vidokle: Exhibition as School
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents several projects Vidokle has produced over the last decade: publications from e-flux\, an NYC based artist resource and art video distribution center founded in 1999; the model of unitednationsplaza\, a free year-long school based in Berlin initiated by the artist in 2006; a station of texts and lectures from seminars at Night School \, an artist commission in the form of a temporary school at the New Museum in New York City (January 2008- February 2009); New York Conversations \, a feature film shot by the artist in 2008 with Nico Dockx \, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and A Prior Magazine; and a comprehensive archive of over one hundred lectures\, talks\, and seminars organized by Vidokle throughout the past three years in Berlin\, Mexico City and New York. \nAnton Vidokle was born in Moscow and arrived in the United States in 1981. He is currently based in New York and Berlin. Vidokle operates these projects with a large group of collaborators\, including Julieta Aranda\, Boris Groys\, Liam Gillick\, Martha Rosler\, Walid Raad\, Nikolaus Hirsch\, Brian Kuan Wood\, Natascha Sadr Haghighian\, Hila Peleg\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Jan Verwoert. \nThis exhibition is presented in collaboration with A.S.A.P. – The Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present. \n  \nAnton Vidokle is one of many artists who recognize the educational potential of art\, but his productions usually do not manifest themselves in the form of traditional art objects. In the place of sculpture or painting\, Vidokle creates work in the shape of social forms familiar to us – such as libraries\, schools\, and public conversations.

SUMMARY:On a Mission: KMA Collectors Circle Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition features a variety of works of art that have become the core of the KMA’s contemporary holding by artists such as Bessie Harvey\, Sarah Hobbs\, William Morris\, Nancy Rubins\, Robert Stackhouse\, Robert Van Vranken\, Andrew Saftel\, Brad Sells\, Darren Waterston\, William T. Wiley\, and others. \nFormed in 1995\, Collectors Circle is a special KMA membership group that helps support the museum’s purchase of works of art. Collectors Circle has been vital to the growth of the KMA collection\, especially in the absence of an acquisitions endowment. Each year the group gathers for the Purchase Reception\, during which members consider several works of art earmarked by the museum. Following lively discussion\, the group votes on the work(s) of its choice and those are then purchased using funds established by the group’s membership dues. \nFor more information about Collectors Circle and how to join\, please contact Margo Clark at 865.525.6101 x223 or mclark@knoxart.org. \nFor more photographs of the exhibition\, click here.

SUMMARY:Tradition/Innovation: American Masterpieces of Southern Craft & Traditional Art
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is organized by the Southern Arts Federation (SAF) in conjunction with American Masterpieces\, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts. More than 100 works in a variety of media- clay\, glass\, fiber\, metal\, wood\, paper and mixed media- by 60 artists from the SAF’s nine partner states: Alabama\, Mississippi\, Florida\, North Carolina\, Georgia\, South Carolina\, Kentucky\, Tennessee\, and Louisiana. \nThe master artists represented in the exhibition were selected because of their role as conduits for process and inspiration\, as they influence other generations of artists working within the region and beyond. Artworks will be accompanied by a rich array of artist interviews\, stories\, and background information on the artists and their processes. \nThe South is home to numerous traditional art forms that continue to be practiced within families and communities throughout the region. Traditional visual arts- such as basket-making\, pottery\, instrument making\, quilting and woodcarving- are usually deep-rooted\, reflect a community aesthetic and often experience a slow evolution. Contemporary craft in the South possesses its own rich history beginning with the folk school movement in the early 1900s. Over the years\, artists and artisans have been drawn to this region to learn and practice their chosen art forms. These artists create a broad scope of crafts that include glass\, pottery\, woodcarving and textiles. Together\, the featured objects reveal important traditions and techniques passed from generation to generation\, but also the way in which highly innovative artists bring new ideas to a tradition and in turn influence their peers and generations to come. \nTradition/Innovation: American Masterpieces of Southern Craft & Traditional Art is a project of the Southern Arts Federation\, and is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts\, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. \nCheck out the Tradition/Innovation website here.

SUMMARY:Mary Lee Bendolph\, Gee's Bend Quilts and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The focused exhibition\, Mary Lee Bendolph\, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond\, and its accompanying full-color\, scholarly catalogue\, examine Bendolph’s inspiration and creative process\, as well as her profound connection to the cultural practices and expressive traditions from which her work arises. Twelve dramatically designed\, richly colored\, improvisational quilts created by Mary Lee Bendolph and her family members—her mother Aolar Mosely\, her daughter Essie B. Pettway\, and her daughter-in-law Louisiana P. Bendolph—are presented alongside complex and evocative found object sculptures by noted African American self-taught artist Thornton Dial and visionary “yard art” artist Lonnie Holley. Both of these Alabama-based artists have been influenced by the quilts and the quiltmakers of Gee’s Bend. Intaglio prints by Mary Lee Bendolph and her daughter-in-law Louisiana P. Bendolph\, along with documentary films about all of the artists provide further context for their creative exchange. As the deep social and aesthetic networks of these six artists intersect\, they give rise to new pathways of artistic influence\, resulting in a powerful mixture of communal and individual creative energies. \nMary Lee Bendolph\, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond is organized by the Austin Museum of Art and Tinwood Media. The Knoxville Museum of Art will be the only Southern venue for this important exhibition. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Frank and Virginia Rogers Foundation\, the Friends of the Quilts: David Butler and Ted Smith\, Linda and Pete Claussen\, Sylvia and Jan Peters and the Kroger Company. \nFor more photographs from this exhibition\, click here. \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nMary Lee Bendolph: Gees Bend Quilts and Beyond  \nMary Lee Bendolph Lecture
