Rachel Feinstein in Florence

Rachel Feinstein’s work is the subject of an exhibition project conceived and curated by Sergio Risaliti, director of the Museo Novecento, in collaboration with three other major museums in Florence: Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Museo Stefano Bardini, and Museo Marino Marini. The multipart exhibition places Feinstein’s sculpture and paintings, some shown in Italy for the first time, in dialogue with masterworks of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque period, demonstrating her ongoing fascination with the art of the past.

SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia

In Façade, painted panoramas, large-scale sculptures, and 40-foot-long wall reliefs from across Rachel Feinstein’s career come together to form a labyrinth that shifts between reality and illusion. Each work featured in this multidimensional installation is an amalgamation of aesthetic and conceptual references, ranging from fairy tales and religious stories to art historical eighteenth-century European craft and twentieth-century American kitsch.

In America
An Anthology of Fashion

May 7–September 5, 2022
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
www.metmuseum.org

In America: An Anthology of Fashion is the second portion of a two-part exhibition exploring fashion in the United States. Men’s and women’s clothing dating from the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century is featured in vignettes installed in select period rooms in the museum’s American Wing, surveying more than two centuries of American domestic life. The exhibition reflects these narratives through a series of three-dimensional cinematic “freeze frames” produced in collaboration with notable American film directors, including Sofia Coppola, who enlisted Rachel Feinstein and John Currin to sculpt and paint the faces of her mannequins. These mise-en-scènes explore the role of dress in shaping American identity and address the complex and layered histories of the museum’s period rooms.
