The Rose Alion Goldman Lecture Series

In honor of Rose Alion Goldman and her love of books, this lecture series features artists who address the complex nature of space and its visual translation in the overlapping mediums of film, drawing, and architecture.

Kenneth Frampton, Ware Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning, Columbia University, will discuss the problems of evoking architectural spaces through film and photography in his lecture, “Notes on the Mediatic Representation of Architecture.” September 14, 6:30 p.m.

Michael Snow, best known for his groundbreaking avant-garde film Wavelength and other experimental works, will discuss forms of representation in books and film. October 5, 6:30 p.m.

Conversations with Contemporary Artists
Join leading contemporary artists as they discuss their art, the creative process, and issues in contemporary art.

Karyn Olivier. Born in Trinidad and featured in Greater New York 2005 at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Olivier constructs uncanny installations that suggest new definitions of public and private space through their manipulation of scale, dimension, and physical access. September 16, 6:30 p.m.

Mickalene Thomas. Thomas, whose colorful self-portrait appears in Greater New York 2005, creates sequin and rhinestone paintings that raise questions about African American identity and black femininity in popular culture. September 23, 6:30 p.m.

Sulan Kolatan. A principal in the New York–based architecture firm Kolatan/MacDonald Studio, Kolatan utilizes computer technology to develop fluid designs that fold structures and surfaces into integrated elements, from furniture to interiors to whole buildings. Kolatan is featured in the MoMA exhibition SAFE: Design Takes On Risk. October 21, 6:30 p.m.

Chris Burden. Burden burst onto the art scene in the late 1970s with such provocative and controversial performances as Shoot (1971), which explored the physical and psychological limits of the artist’s body. Burden has since created an array of work that includes installations, drawings, and photogravures that address technology, power, and the status of the art object. October 28, 6:30 p.m.

The Rose Alion Goldman Lecture Series is supported by the generosity of Barbara Goldman Pine.

Drawing from the Modern, 1975–2005

While art history has made room for the flurry of movements that emerged in the period following World War II, the myriad artistic developments of the last thirty years have yet to be assigned firm historical categories. Drawing from the Modern, 1975–2005, the final installment in a series of inaugural-year exhibitions produced by the Department of Drawings, attempts to tell a provisional story of the years from 1975 to the present, as reflected through MoMA's singular drawings collection. While making no claims to comprehensiveness, the installation details both the blossoming of different art positions on a broad, international scale in this era, and the coming of age of drawing as an independent—and for many artists, primary—mode of expression.

Organized chronologically and in loose clusters of artists working in the same milieu or vein of interest, the exhibition features works by more than fifty artists, including Bruce Nauman, Gerhard Richter, Martin Kippenberger, Marlene Dumas, Gabriel Orozco, Kara Walker, and Luc Tuymans.

Organized by Jordan Kantor, Assistant Curator, Department of Drawings.

This series of publications is made possible by Kathleen and Richard S. Fuld, Jr., Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Kravis, and Ronald S. and Jo Carole Lauder.

JPMorgan Chase is the sponsor of the reinstallation of The Museum of Modern Art's Collection.
