Exhibits On View

Lines of Control: Partition as a Productive Space

January 21-April 1

More than 40 works of video, prints, photographs, paintings, sculpture, and installation by international artists delve into the past and explore the present to expose the seductive simplicity of drawing lines as a substitute for learning how to live with each other.

Carl Ostendarp: Fat Cakes/Myopic Void

January 27-March 25

Cornell art department faculty member Carl Ostendarp chose works from the Johnson's collection primarily from the 1960s and '70s on view in two galleries covered by two-color, drip-pattern murals he designed and painted, accompanied by his own playlists. The title for this installation comes from two early 1970s songs by soul-jazz organist Jimmy McGriff and heavy-psych band Captain Beyond. This exhibition is funded in part by a grant from the Cornell Council for the Arts.
