love fear pleasure lust pain glamour death — Andy Warhol Media Works
May 13–September 6, 2010
Through a selection of Andy Warhol’s media works, this exhibition will offer a focused and provocative experience of Warhol’s photography and film portraits. Unfolding in five of the special exhibition galleries, the exhibition includes Polaroids, photobooth strips and sewn photographs, presented alongside Warhol’s Screen Tests, which will be projected in two of the galleries devoted to these moving images.
love fear pleasure lust pain glamour death includes works that compel us to consider the artist’s fascination with all things ephemeral, from beauty and youth to celebrity status. Including photographs and videos dating from the 1960s through the early 1980s—two decades in which the artist’s work had tremendous impact on contemporary art production and culture—the exhibition encourages readings of powerful themes such as fame, desire and identity construction, as well as anxiety and isolation, which often accompany stardom. In a series of self-portraits, with props or disguises such as wigs and women’s clothing, Warhol exposes his obsession with his own image and his desire to probe and push the boundaries of identity and self-invention.
love fear pleasure lust pain glamour death — Andy Warhol Media Works is on view concurrently with the exhibition Kurt and resonates with many of the works on view, as well as the exploration of fleeting celebrity, the effects it has on the celebrated, and the ways in which even a brief career can deeply move a generation.

JAY CLARK aka FaNKULT FaNKULT is best described as “I just put some thought behind a turd and polish it enough too be accepted as shit.”
FRANK CORREA Frank Correa is a multi-media artist inspired by his symbiotic relationships with those who emanate love and openness. Strangers beaming with originality serve to offer novel insights into the human experience. Migrating at the age of 14, from the same land that birthed Machu Picchu, Frank’s period of global roaming served to cut his two dramatically different periods of life into two distinct chapters. His art strives to captures an ephemeral moment in time, uniquely lived through the lens of his mediums and personal experience.

JIN KIM Jin Kim originally studied as a painter in her native Korea, where she won numerous awards for her work and was a professor of painting at the Chung-Nam National University. In 2007, Jin came to America to further develop her artistic vision by studying Industrial Design at the Art Institute of Seattle.

Her finely trained design sense has brought together surface, emotion and form into one expression with in each piece of furniture. She has crafted her furniture from wood, acrylic, concrete, paint and gold leaf, providing a rich visual and textural palette. She has taken the simple form of a bench, meant to support the body, and has created a work of art that supports the senses as well.

THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF HERBERT MATTER is a revealing look at the fascinating life story of the highly influential mid-century modern design master. Known as a quintessential designer’s designer, Swiss born Herbert Matter is largely credited with expanding the use of photography as a design tool and bringing the semantics of fine art into the realm of applied arts.
Inspired by Russian constructivists and taught by artists such as Fernand Léger, Le Corbusier, and A.M.Cassandre in Paris in the late 20s, Matter designed a series of cutting-edge Swiss travel posters that won international acclaim for the pioneering use of photo-montage combined with type. Always striking a balance between fine art projects and commercial work, the taciturn designer found his own unique language, which resulted in the creation of such iconic works as the corporate identity for Knoll Associates and the New Haven Railroad. With his photography he was adept in documenting the early furniture of Charles and Ray Eames and creating covers for Vogue and Arts & Architecture as well as documenting his contemporaries Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning or Alberto Giacometti. As a filmmaker, he directed a critically acclaimed film “Works of Calder” about his good friend Alexander Calder, with music composed by John Cage. Later in life he was a professor for photography and graphic design among Paul Rand and Josef Albers at Yale University.
In today’s commercialized and oversaturated world, the documentary directed by Reto Caduff (“Charlie Haden - Rambling Boy”, “A Crude Awakening”) lets luminaries such as Robert Frank, Massimo Vignelli, Alvin Eisenmann, Steven Heller, Elaine Lustig Cohen and others explain why Matter still matters. Through never-before-seen footage, personal photography and stunning graphic design work, the film explores the social and cultural impact of his personal visual langauge that influenced a whole generation of designer and artists.

There are few photographers as influential and imitated as Nick Knight. His commercial and editorial fashion images cause controversy, push boundaries and inspire, whilst his SHOWstudio website leads the way in mixed media experimentation. Now almost 20 years after his last book, he has compiled a retrospective of his work since 1990. As expected, it’s a photographic landmark publication.
This book comes out Oct. 27, 2009.
