Equivalence: Acts of Translation in Contemporary Art
On view December 12, 2008 - February 13, 2009
At the Glassell School of Art
Equivalence: Acts of Translation in Contemporary Art, brings together a diverse body of artwork in different media to explore the notion of "translation" in contemporary art today. The exhibition features video, sound installation, painting, sculpture, and works on paper by nine artists living and working in the United States and abroad: John Baldessari, Mel Bochner, Omer Fast, Spencer Finch, Nina Katchadourian, Sherrie Levine, Jonathan Monk, Anri Sala, and Brooke Stroud.
A great deal of contemporary art today involves some type of physical or conceptual translation—taking a preexisting thing and transforming it into something else. Equivalence looks specifically at the unexpected and surprising consequences that can result from these kinds of translations. It asks the question: what at happens when you turn this into that? Among the artworks in the exhibition are pieces involving language, color, and the reinterpretation of famous works of art.
In addition to works on view in the Laura Lee Blanton Gallery at the Glassell School of Art, Equivalence also features a sound installation presented in the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden. The exhibition has been organized by Core Program Critical Studies resident Jennifer King.

The Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs: Selections from The Atlas Group Archive
On view September 12 - November 25, 2008
At the Glassell School of Art
The Glassell School of Art´s Core Exhibition Program continues this fall with The Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs: Selections from The Atlas Group Archive, featuring work by the provocative Lebanese-American artist Walid Raad. Beginning in 1989, Raad produced his work under the rubric of an artistic alter ego, The Atlas Group, which he describes as an imaginary foundation whose goal was to document the Lebanese Civil Wars of 1975-1990. For approximately fifteen years Raad/The Atlas Group collected or produced an extensive archive of audio, visual and literary documents to record the war-torn country´s history. Through the exhibition of the contrived foundation´s works, Raad sought to raise questions about authorship, authenticity, and how we understand and interpret current and historical events.
