Reflections in the Mirror of American Culture
In conjunction with the major reinstallation
in the MCA's 4th floor Collection galleries,
this exhibition, which is drawn from a
variety of works in the MCA Collection and
supplemented by key loans, will examine
how aspects of American society and
culture have served as a fertile subject for
contemporary artists. Beginning with
Robert Rauschenberg's Retroactive II
(1963) and Andy Warhol's Jacqueline
Kennedy (1964) - works permeated with
the imagery of American political and
economic ascendancy and cultural hegemony - the works
of art included will trace the contradictions and
hybridizations that have increasingly emerged within and
outside of society and culture as we move into the 21st
century. The exhibitions will be presented in multiple stages
and spaces within the Museum beginning in late March and
extending into late 2000.
This exhibition is co-curated by James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator Elizabeth
Smith and
Manilow Senior Curator Francesco Bonami.
