Tangible/Nothing

September 8, 2022–July 30, 2023
Ruby City, San Antonio
www.rubycity.org

Tangible/Nothing presents a new installation from Ruby City’s permanent collection galleries and features approximately forty works by national and international artists, including those with ties to San Antonio and to Texas. The exhibition explores how the invisible or the seemingly mundane can reveal greater meaning, and it aims to tap into our collective experience of absence and presence over the past two years, when the physical separation from family and friends necessitated finding all manner of ways to connect with them in absentia. Work by Rick Lowe and Adam McEwen is included.

Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit

A major group exhibition of ninety-nine artists based in the United States addresses Detroit’s ongoing economic crisis and its 2013 bankruptcy. Four years after a federal judge approved Detroit’s bankruptcy-exit plan, the city’s financial present and future are still in flux. This exhibition is a reflection on the realities of a city that was once one of the country’s wealthiest and most diverse.

That Was Then, This Is Now

June 22–October 5, 2008
MoMA PS1, New York
www.moma.org

Inspired by the artistic and sociopolitical climate of the late 1960s, this group exhibition features work by artists united by the desire to mobilize art as a means of change. Focusing on three iconographic themes—flags, weapons, and dreams—That Was Then, This Is Now places these representations as central to artists’ collective aspiration toward progress. Work by Chris Burden, Adam McEwen, Spencer Sweeney, and Andy Warhol is included.
