Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe at Museum of International Folk Art in May 2019

The Museum of International Folk Art is presenting the traveling exhibition A Designer’s Universe, an exhibition organized by Vitra Design Museum. One of the most influential interior and textile designers of the 20th century, 

This is the first major retrospective on Girard’s work. The exhibition opens May 5 and runs through October 27, 2019.

Girard was also a pivotal figure in the history of the Museum of International Folk Art, donating more than 100,000 objects from his and his wife Susan’s folk art collection, and in 1981 creating the museum’s long-term, beloved exhibition Multiple Visions. Girard’s playful designs attest to a passion for colors, ornamentation, and inspirations from folk art.

The exhibition and public programs illuminate the relationship of folk art to modernism and design. In conjunction with the Girard exhibition at MOIFA, two other Santa Fe cultural institutions – the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) – will explore the concept and practice of design from three unique perspectives: Girard’s impact on the American aesthetic; his imprint on Santa Fe; and the dynamic field of Native design centered in Santa Fe.

IAIA will host a student design competition in conjunction with the museum exhibits and public programs.

The exhibition Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe is organized by Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany. Global sponsors are Herman Miller and Maharam.

ClampArt: Willy Bo Richardson: Colophon, Artsy exclusive

Willy Richardson

ClampArt
May 9 – June 21, 2019

ClampArt partnered with Artsy, a free online platform for collecting and discovering art.

Willy Bo Richardson describes his paintings of vibrant, vertical bands of color as “philosophy in motion.” Working solely within the framework of vertical strokes, the artist uses color, proportion, and line to create works that have a physical and emotional impact on the viewer. He characterizes his practice as “a sort of meditation, a give-and-take with gravity and the universal laws that determine our experience of the physical world.” By intentionally veering away from representational or narrative imagery, he seeks to confront and convey an enduring fascination with the unchanging mind itself, actualizing through the use of color and line “a humming field [that] suspends the sensation of time.”

Artsy’s search engine and database draw connections and map relationships among works of art. Artsy is powered by The Art Genome Project , a collaboration between art historians and engineers. The Art Genome Project draws upon art-historical scholarship and artificial intelligence to assign values to artwork based on over 1211 characteristics or “genes.” These genes range from color to “Content: Private of Personal Space” to period to “Technique: Documentary Photography” to “Group Portrait.” The Art Genome Project aims to help users uncover works of art based on personal taste and preference to facilitate education and discovery of art. Matthew Israel serves as the Director of The Art Genome Project and Artsy’s Lead Curator.
