Digital Projects Experiments will mark the Museum debut of a selection of newly acquired digital projects. Contrasting designs produced for corporations with announcements of artists' projects, the exhibition presents work that shares a delight in the infinite varieties of typefaces, compositions and associations available to graphic designers. An interest in the use of vernacular or pop imagery, including comic books, road signs and snowboarding graphics, unites much of this recent work. Architecture The notion of architecture as something that reveals new forms lurking behind the walls or promises fantastic new structures for the future informs Experiments' selection of architecture. Works on view will include Joel Sanders' and Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis' investigations of identity and playful additions to the grids of the city, eerily realistic inventions of nonexistent spaces by Damien Smith and Oliver Boberg and luscious drawings by the local architecture firm Loom.
A German artist, Kiefer is perhaps best known for majestic paintings from the 1980s and 1990s that confront some of the dark aspects of his country's complex history. The exhibition will highlight a range of themes and practices in Kiefer's work. The artist's books Hermannschlacht (1976), Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the Cedar Forest IV (1981); and Schweres Water (1991) mark the early and ongoing importance of books within Kiefer's oeuvre.
