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:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler
DESCRIPTION:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler is an invitation into the glamorous\, witty\, and wonderful universe of celebrated potter and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role\, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection alongside his own iconic designs. A playful and irreverent perspective on craft history\, the exhibition illuminates the designer’s love of objects\, materials\, and the makers whose legacies precede his own. \nThe exhibition is organized as a thematic tour of Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkyana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic\, fiber\, and glass; and Americalia\, Metallica\, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche\, glimmering metalwork\, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie. \nThe exhibition installation is designed by Simon Doonan\, author\, TV personality\, legendary window dresser\, former Creative Director of Barneys New York—and Adler’s husband. Works from Adler’s own studio appear throughout the exhibition\, massed in striking tableaux and staged in a visual dialogue with the Museum’s collection objects. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design\, which deftly combines humor\, impeccable style\, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle. \n

SUMMARY:Jeremy Pelt and Endea Owens
DESCRIPTION:Join trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and bassist Endea Owens for an evening of soulful jazz in the stunning\, sky-high Appel Room\, inspired by the music and spirit of Africa. Pelt and Owens will present the world premiere of works commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center—Masks and Whispers of the Celestial Root: Songs of the Black Earth\, respectively. Set against the stunning backdrop of Manhattan in the Appel Room\, this performance offers bold new perspectives on Africa’s enduring influence on jazz. \nPelt\, celebrated for his virtuosic trumpet playing and collaborations with legends like Roy Hargrove and Cassandra Wilson\, draws on his extensive experience as a bandleader and composer to create music that is both thoughtful and bold. This textural\, Afro-futuristic piece is centralized around the stories and mysticism of masks\, examining the folklore surrounding them and the spiritual power they hold. Featuring vocalist Candice Hoyes\, the piece also takes on an operatic dimension that accentuates its drama and scope. \nOwens\, a member of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert band and Juilliard graduate who has worked with artists including Wynton Marsalis\, Jon Batiste\, and Diana Ross\, infuses her music with passion and purpose shaped by her Detroit roots and commitment to community. \nPhoto Courtesy of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:An Ecology of Quilts
DESCRIPTION:An Ecology of Quilts: The Natural History of American Textiles brings together approximately 30 examples\, spanning the 18th to 20th centuries\, from the Museum’s rich collection of more than 600 quilts and presents them from an ecological perspective\, tracing patterns of relationships between the environment and traditional quilting practices. \nThis groundbreaking exploration of the natural history of American textiles proposes an eco-critical inquiry into the many facets of global material culture that emerged in the early American republic through the 20th century. \nLooking beyond the quiltmaker\, An Ecology of Quilts is centered around the origins of textile production and how it informs the artistry of quiltmaking\, exploring the environmental and social impact of cultivating and harvesting raw materials; the networks of overland and ocean trade required to transport dyestuffs\, fibers\, and fabrics; and the technologies and industrial techniques developed to process them\, such as the cotton gin—all of which allowed quiltmaking to flourish as a quintessential American art form. \nAs An Ecology of Quilts documents\, textiles represent an intricately woven web of environmental resources\, craft and scientific knowledge\, global movement\, and creative collaboration. Speaking not only to the work of individual American quilters but also to the contributions of countless artisans and laborers around the globe\, quilts survive as powerful material metaphors for human relationships and entanglements within the natural world.

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

SUMMARY:Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture
DESCRIPTION:Crafted from brass\, gold\, and semi-precious stones\, Douriean Fletcher’s boldly sculptural designs articulate Black identity\, embody spiritual meaning\, and have helped define cinematic characters and imagined worlds. The exhibition documents and explores how ideas of Afrofuturism materialize in Fletcher’s work\, highlighting her research into African and African American jewelry design and efforts to build aesthetic and cultural bridges between Black communities\, countries\, continents\, and histories torn apart by colonialism\, slavery\, and oppression. Presenting 75 works from the artist’s collection\, Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture tells the inspiring story of Fletcher’s evolution from self-taught metalsmith to an influential designer whose handmade adornments have shaped memorable aesthetics in contemporary cinema\, most notably Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film franchise. \nPhoto credit: BJ the Photographer/Brittany Houston-Johnson

SUMMARY:What’s Happening? Film Series: Fanfare for the Common Man
DESCRIPTION:To mark the semiquincentennial celebration of the United States\, the What’s Happening? film series will be exploring that essential statement of our Constitution: We the People. What is our national identity today\, and how did we get here? \nTo answer that question\, the first program in the series will look at a group of remarkable Americans through the lens of the library’s historic 16mm film collection. We will screen a rare print of Holy Outlaw\, Lee Lockwood and Don Lenzer’s 1970 profile of Daniel Berrigan\, the poet-priest arrested in 1968 for burning draft cards. Also in this program: Marva (1979)\, on educator Marva Collins who reimagined what was possible for Chicago school children; An Interview with Bruce Gordon (1963)\, with a 22-year-old organizer for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee; and Crystal Lee Jordan (1975)\, a documentary featuring the infamous union organizer who inspired the feature film Norma Rae. \nWhat’s Happening is a film series dating back to 1972 that centers on new and historic films in the Reserve Film and Video Collection at the Library for the Performing Arts. Screening a selection of curated titles from the collection—including documentaries\, animations\, and even films never commercially released—the series provides information on timely and public topics\, in order to spark conversation with the audience and with special guest panelists. \nPhoto Credit: NYPL Videotape Workshop Circa 1971; taken by NYPL staff \n

SUMMARY:Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture
DESCRIPTION:Crafted from brass\, gold\, and semi-precious stones\, Douriean Fletcher’s boldly sculptural designs articulate Black identity\, embody spiritual meaning\, and have helped define cinematic characters and imagined worlds. The exhibition documents and explores how ideas of Afrofuturism materialize in Fletcher’s work\, highlighting her research into African and African American jewelry design and efforts to build aesthetic and cultural bridges between Black communities\, countries\, continents\, and histories torn apart by colonialism\, slavery\, and oppression. Presenting 75 works from the artist’s collection\, Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture tells the inspiring story of Fletcher’s evolution from self-taught metalsmith to an influential designer whose handmade adornments have shaped memorable aesthetics in contemporary cinema\, most notably Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film franchise. \nPhoto credit: BJ the Photographer/Brittany Houston-Johnson

SUMMARY:Designing Motherhood
DESCRIPTION:Designing Motherhood: Things that Make and Break Our Births will explore the arc of human reproduction through a design lens\, inviting audiences to consider how designs developed over the last 150 years have shaped reproductive health. The exhibition broadly explores the intersections of design\, access\, and experiences of (in)fertility\, pregnancy\, postpartum\, and parenthood\, and includes more than 250 manufactured products\, speculative design projects\, medical devices and tools\, graphic materials\, contemporary artworks\, and video. Combining art\, design\, and activism\, Designing Motherhood aims to deepen the cultural awareness and dialogue surrounding design for reproductive health and well-being. \nThis exhibition is part of the Designing Motherhood project\, a first-of-its-kind consideration of the arc of human reproduction through the lens of design. Designing Motherhood is an award-winning book (MIT Press\, 2021)\, touring exhibition\, narrative portraiture initiative\, open-source curriculum\, public program series\, and Instagram account. The project is collaboratively organized by Juliana Rowen Barton\, PhD\, Michelle Millar Fisher\, PhD (co-founder)\, Zoë Greggs\, Gabriella Nelson\, and Amber Winick (co-founder).

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:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler
DESCRIPTION:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler is an invitation into the glamorous\, witty\, and wonderful universe of celebrated potter and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role\, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection alongside his own iconic designs. A playful and irreverent perspective on craft history\, the exhibition illuminates the designer’s love of objects\, materials\, and the makers whose legacies precede his own. \nThe exhibition is organized as a thematic tour of Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkyana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic\, fiber\, and glass; and Americalia\, Metallica\, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche\, glimmering metalwork\, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie. \nThe exhibition installation is designed by Simon Doonan\, author\, TV personality\, legendary window dresser\, former Creative Director of Barneys New York—and Adler’s husband. Works from Adler’s own studio appear throughout the exhibition\, massed in striking tableaux and staged in a visual dialogue with the Museum’s collection objects. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design\, which deftly combines humor\, impeccable style\, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle.

SUMMARY:An Ecology of Quilts
DESCRIPTION:An Ecology of Quilts: The Natural History of American Textiles brings together approximately 30 examples\, spanning the 18th to 20th centuries\, from the Museum’s rich collection of more than 600 quilts and presents them from an ecological perspective\, tracing patterns of relationships between the environment and traditional quilting practices. \nThis groundbreaking exploration of the natural history of American textiles proposes an eco-critical inquiry into the many facets of global material culture that emerged in the early American republic through the 20th century. \nLooking beyond the quiltmaker\, An Ecology of Quilts is centered around the origins of textile production and how it informs the artistry of quiltmaking\, exploring the environmental and social impact of cultivating and harvesting raw materials; the networks of overland and ocean trade required to transport dyestuffs\, fibers\, and fabrics; and the technologies and industrial techniques developed to process them\, such as the cotton gin—all of which allowed quiltmaking to flourish as a quintessential American art form. \nAs An Ecology of Quilts documents\, textiles represent an intricately woven web of environmental resources\, craft and scientific knowledge\, global movement\, and creative collaboration. Speaking not only to the work of individual American quilters but also to the contributions of countless artisans and laborers around the globe\, quilts survive as powerful material metaphors for human relationships and entanglements within the natural world.

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: The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

SUMMARY:Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture
DESCRIPTION:Crafted from brass\, gold\, and semi-precious stones\, Douriean Fletcher’s boldly sculptural designs articulate Black identity\, embody spiritual meaning\, and have helped define cinematic characters and imagined worlds. The exhibition documents and explores how ideas of Afrofuturism materialize in Fletcher’s work\, highlighting her research into African and African American jewelry design and efforts to build aesthetic and cultural bridges between Black communities\, countries\, continents\, and histories torn apart by colonialism\, slavery\, and oppression. Presenting 75 works from the artist’s collection\, Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture tells the inspiring story of Fletcher’s evolution from self-taught metalsmith to an influential designer whose handmade adornments have shaped memorable aesthetics in contemporary cinema\, most notably Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film franchise. \nPhoto credit: BJ the Photographer/Brittany Houston-Johnson

SUMMARY:Designing Motherhood
DESCRIPTION:Designing Motherhood: Things that Make and Break Our Births will explore the arc of human reproduction through a design lens\, inviting audiences to consider how designs developed over the last 150 years have shaped reproductive health. The exhibition broadly explores the intersections of design\, access\, and experiences of (in)fertility\, pregnancy\, postpartum\, and parenthood\, and includes more than 250 manufactured products\, speculative design projects\, medical devices and tools\, graphic materials\, contemporary artworks\, and video. Combining art\, design\, and activism\, Designing Motherhood aims to deepen the cultural awareness and dialogue surrounding design for reproductive health and well-being. \nThis exhibition is part of the Designing Motherhood project\, a first-of-its-kind consideration of the arc of human reproduction through the lens of design. Designing Motherhood is an award-winning book (MIT Press\, 2021)\, touring exhibition\, narrative portraiture initiative\, open-source curriculum\, public program series\, and Instagram account. The project is collaboratively organized by Juliana Rowen Barton\, PhD\, Michelle Millar Fisher\, PhD (co-founder)\, Zoë Greggs\, Gabriella Nelson\, and Amber Winick (co-founder). Over the years\, the project has further been shaped by thought partners and supporters including Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, the Graham Foundation\, Maternity Care Coalition\, and Neighborhood Birth Center\, among many others.

SUMMARY:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler
DESCRIPTION:The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler is an invitation into the glamorous\, witty\, and wonderful universe of celebrated potter and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role\, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection alongside his own iconic designs. A playful and irreverent perspective on craft history\, the exhibition illuminates the designer’s love of objects\, materials\, and the makers whose legacies precede his own. \nThe exhibition is organized as a thematic tour of Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkyana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic\, fiber\, and glass; and Americalia\, Metallica\, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche\, glimmering metalwork\, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie. \nThe exhibition installation is designed by Simon Doonan\, author\, TV personality\, legendary window dresser\, former Creative Director of Barneys New York—and Adler’s husband. Works from Adler’s own studio appear throughout the exhibition\, massed in striking tableaux and staged in a visual dialogue with the Museum’s collection objects. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design\, which deftly combines humor\, impeccable style\, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle. \n
