The Little Things Could Be Dearer On view October 26, 2014–April 6, 2015 In an age when digital communication technologies are changing the ways we relate to one another, we frequently encounter emotion in abbreviated forms and express it at a virtual remove. Social media networks encourage us to “like,” “follow,” or “hashtag” our feelings and desires, and to convey them in symbolic emoticons. Against this backdrop of disembodied and dispersed sentiment, The Little Things Could Be Dearer highlights four artists whose work heightens our awareness of more direct physical and emotional relations. These artists create groupings or networks of forms that take as their subject aspects of bodies coming together—individually or socially—to emphasize their points of contact. Zero Tolerance On view October 26, 2014–April 13, 2015 Over the past two decades, some national and international governments have garnered attention for imposing draconian laws that restrict the rights of citizens under the guise of improving quality of life. Rio de Janeiro has “cleaned up” slums by imposing a militarized police force and Istanbul has put pressure on minority communities by gentrifying the neighborhoods in which they reside. In Russia, the arrest of two members of the art band Pussy Riot for speaking against President Vladimir Putin, along with the passage of anti-gay legislation, has generated international ire. Such restrictive policies have marked everyday life in major cities around the world. Lights, Camera, Astoria! October 26, 2013–March 29, 2015 In the Amphitheater Gallery This exhibition traces the fascinating history of the Astoria studio, which has been at the heart of filmmaking in New York City since 1920. The site was the East Coast home of Paramount Pictures in the silent and early talking-picture eras, a center for independent filmmaking in the 1930s, and the U.S. Army Pictorial Center from World War II into the Cold War. After falling into disrepair in the early 1970s, the site has become a thriving cultural hub that includes Kaufman Astoria Studios and Museum of the Moving Image. INSTALLATION Common Areas • January 9–May 10 • In the lobby Organized by Jason Eppink, Associate Curator of Digital Media, and presented as part of First Look 2015. Sabrina Ratté (b. 1982, Quebec City) works with analog and digital processes, particularly video feedback, to construct sparse planes that evoke virtual landscapes and electric architecture. The resulting video is thoroughly material: soft hazy gradients, liquid feedback loops, and sparkling static that assemble into dreamlike spaces. Noguchi as Photographer: The Jantar Mantars of Northern India Thursday, January 8, 2015 - Sunday, May 31, 2015 As part of his extended tour to investigate people’s daily interaction with civic spaces and sacred sites throughout Europe, Asia, and the Far East, Isamu Noguchi first traveled to Northern India in 1949. Camera in hand, Noguchi discovered the eighteenth-century astronomical observatories in Delhi and Jaipur. Known as Jantar Mantar (translating loosely to “instruments and formulae”), these open-air campuses were comprised of astronomical instruments built on a grand architectural scale. Individual structures measured solar time, the celestial paths of the sun and moon and the latitudes and longitudes of planets and constellations, among other functions. Highlights from the Collection: Iconic Display Wednesday, February 4, 2015 - Sunday, September 13, 2015 As part of its ongoing series of installations from the collection, the Museum presents Iconic Display. Whether we realize it or not, and whether we consent to it or not, the contexts in which we encounter art are irremovable frames. The excerpted installations are ones that have proven epochal in shaping the critical interpretation and public perception of specific bodies of Noguchi’s work--for better and for worse. They include Noguchi’s participation in Fourteen Americans at MoMA (1946); his first Japanese exhibition, which took place in a Tokyo department store (1950); an installation by the architect Arata Isozaki for the Seibu Museum of Art (1985); and contemporaneous attempts, through exhibitions and photographs, to make sense of one of his largest and least well-understood bodies of work-- the 26 galvanized steel editions he made for Gemini G.E.L in the early 1980s.
