SUMMARY:Exhibition / Folk Nation: Crafting Patriotism in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Mounted during the celebration of the United States semiquincentennial\, Folk Nation: Crafting Patriotism in the United States draws from the American Folk Art Museum’s rich collections to explore links between vernacular art and the construction of an American sense of self. Introducing visitors to the concept of “folk” as a category developed in conjunction with the art and antiques markets\, this exhibition positions works as multilayered in their meanings\, imbued with cultural significance by not only their creators\, but also their collectors and subsequent owners. Americans have long preserved objects as a way of telling stories about themselves. Beginning after the Revolutionary War and gathering momentum in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, people turned to early American things to construct a national history and sense of collective identity—an impulse often driven by lingering insecurity about the young nation’s perceived cultural provinciality compared to Europe. \nThis concentrated exhibition illuminates how makers both historical and contemporary have employed a kaleidoscopic variety of media to express love of country while also revealing the complexities and contradictions embedded in such expressions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition / Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists
DESCRIPTION:Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists takes a critical look at the historical definition of the “self-taught artist” in the United States from the early twentieth century to today. The exhibition examines how artists without academic training have depicted\, conceptualized\, and identified themselves on their own terms. In doing so\, it aims at challenging reductive\, long-standing narratives that have cast these artmakers as amateurs or isolated geniuses working out of time\, without lineage\, influence\, or artistic networks. \nThe sixty artists featured here largely worked outside conventional art-school\, gallery\, museum\, and peer-exchange systems. Their practices are rooted in diverse sites of learning\, from professional expertise to community-based traditions. Drawn primarily from the American Folk Art Museum’s collection\, this selection of artworks brings together outstanding examples of paintings\, sculptures\, photographs\, videos\, and artists’ notebooks by key national and international figures—many of them recent or rarely seen acquisitions.

SUMMARY:Dana Barnes: Untamed Gestures
DESCRIPTION:The first major museum exhibition spotlighting the artist’s singular vision\, Dana Barnes: Untamed Gestures features monumental hand-formed fiber works alongside a fully immersive recreation of Barnes’s Lower East Side studio in New York City. Barnes’s sculptural landscapes composed of fibers such as merino\, yak\, alpaca\, and silk create a compelling tactile environment in which motion and stillness\, as well as strength and fragility\, coexist in dynamic tension. Inspired by the slow\, persistent forces of nature\, Barnes twists\, knots\, and fuses her materials into sprawling\, living forms that sag\, climb\, and unfurl across the gallery space. Her works pulse with a quiet vitality\, inviting viewers into a dialogue between materiality and metamorphosis. \nThe exhibition’s immersive studio experience meticulously replicates Barnes’s original workspace\, a former 19th-century synagogue once home to Abstract Expressionist painter Pat Passlof. Within the space\, visitors will encounter a laboratory of creativity: overflowing sacks of colorful fibers\, experimental maquettes\, geological fragments\, and handmade tools bearing the patina of daily use. A self-directed drawing exercise will invite visitors to participate in the same spirit of wonder and material exploration that animates Barnes’s practice. \nPhoto credit: Daniel Root Photography

SUMMARY:OUT of the Jewelry Box
DESCRIPTION:Expanding the voices represented in MAD’s permanent collection\, OUT of the Jewelry Box considers the importance of queer perspectives in the world of studio and contemporary art jewelry. The exhibition showcases an extraordinary gift from Ron Porter and Joe Price\, who have collected and worn art jewelry throughout their forty-one-year relationship\, nine of those legally married. \nOn view are 56 newly acquired works from The Porter Price Collection by queer artists and their allies\, and 22 pieces by queer artists already represented in MAD’s permanent collection. The jewelry dates from the 1950s to the present\, and stories from the artists and collectors about the role of jewelry in the construction of queer histories and identities accompany each work. \nPhoto credit: Jenna Bascom

SUMMARY:Syncopated Stages: Black Disruptions to the Great White Way
DESCRIPTION:Although the common nickname for Broadway\, “the Great White Way\,” refers\, historically\, to its dazzling lights\, the phrase also suggests the ways in which many histories of New York theater center white artists. Black artists\, though\, have been important shapers of musical theater in the United States before the electric light was ever used on stage. In the early 20th century\, Black composers and writers created many popular musicals in New York that helped define the genre\, setting it apart from 19th-century traditions. New forms of syncopation\, the disruption of the dominant rhythm\, and narratives composed and written by Black artists challenged the prevailing sounds and depictions of Black people on stage. These innovations were more than stylistic. They pushed back against exclusion and stereotype\, laying the groundwork for generations of Black artists whose contributions have reshaped Broadway. Syncopated Stages spotlights their work\, acknowledges the challenges they faced\, and celebrates the brilliance of what they made. We invite you to explore how Black artists transformed the New York stage and how their work still reverberates today. \nThis exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and curated by playwright\, professor\, and scholar Michael Dinwiddie. \nPhoto credit: New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
