Art Talk with Emily Rales
Emily Rales, along with her husband Mitchell Rales, is the founder of the Glenstone Museum, a museum in Potomac, Maryland that opened to the public in October 2018 with a collection dedicated to post-World War II art. They envision Glenstone “not only as a place, but a state of mind created by the energy of architecture, the power of art, and the restorative qualities of nature.“

Brand New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s
“Brand New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s” takes us back to the iconic decade when artwork became a commodity and the artist, a brand. The exhibition features nearly 70 pioneering artists – including Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Julia Wachtel, and the Guerrilla Girls – who have subverted and embraced the collision of art and commerce that emerged in the 1980s. Select major installations will be recreated for the first time in 30 years, including seminal works by Gretchen Bender, Barbara Bloom, and Krzysztof Wodiczko.
“Brand New” offers a fascinating alternative history of art in the 1980s by tracing how a pioneering group of young downtown artists appropriated the tools and psychology of growing consumer culture—advertising, logos, products, even cable TV—to change the landscape of the art world. Manufactured objects, such as vacuum cleaners and clocks, became vessels with complex meanings. Advertising and television emerged as rich new mediums for expression, and artworks themselves became branded products. Like today’s celebrity influencers, artists crafted branded personas to both market themselves and as a form of creative expression.
Year by year, Brand New parallels major artistic developments with corresponding events that shaped the ’80s, such as the introduction of MTV, Reaganomics, financial crisis, gentrification, and height of the AIDS crisis. View the ’80s in a new light with an exhibition that puts a magnifying glass to the blurred lines of then and today.

KISHIO SUGA : CRITICAL SECTIONS, 1984/2017
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
Blum & Poe is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Kishio Suga. One of the most influential artists in Japan, Suga has been central to the history of site-specific installation since the late 1960s. This is his third solo exhibition with the gallery.
Suga gained early recognition for arranging natural and manmade materials in unprecedented installations such as Parallel Strata (1969), a totemic enclosure made of paraffin wax, and Soft Concrete (1970), four vertical steel plates arranged into a square and shored up with a mound of oil-infused concrete. These works situated him as part of a short-lived movement that came to be known as Mono-ha, whose artists took natural and industrial materials and arranged them in mostly unaltered, ephemeral states.
Almost none of the original site-specific installations exist; typically they were discarded at the close of each exhibition. However, Suga has remade them on numerous occasions since the mid-1980s, when Mono-ha began to receive institutional recognition in Europe. While his re-creations are always based on an original core concept, they are not intended as exact replicas; Suga adapts their scale and constituent parts to the characteristics of each site. At Blum & Poe, he will continue the decades-long evolution of his installations, re-making several major works from the 1970s to the 1990s. Such works include Units of Dependency (1974), a layered, barrier-like structure of open-core cinder blocks and protruding grass.
Furthermore, this will be the first exhibition outside of Japan to present an extensive overview of his early works on paper. During the mid-1970s, Suga made several series of minimal geometric collages, alternately creating linear forms with tape while tearing, folding, and marking the paper. As with his installations, in his works on paper he constructs a set of relationships only to deconstruct them. This exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to examine the conceptual connections between these two areas of his practice. On occasion, Suga made paper works on a similar scale to his nstallations. Layered Dependence (1977), which measures three feet by twenty-six feet, will be on display for the first time in forty years.
Kishio Suga was born in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, in 1944, and currently lives and works in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture. He received a BFA in oil painting at Tama Art University, Tokyo, in 1968. Since then, he has had numerous solo exhibitions in Japan, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Tokyo (2015), the Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama (1999), and the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Hiroshima (1997). Suga's work has also been featured in recent landmark surveys, such as Prima Materia, Punta della Dogana, Venice (2013);Parallel Views: Italian and Japanese Art from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, The Warehouse, Dallas, TX (2013); and Tokyo 1955-1970: A New Avant-Garde, Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (2012). His work is featured in many institutional collections, including the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; Glenstone Foundation, Potomac, MD; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi; Long Museum, Shanghai; M+, Hong Kong; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; National Museum of Art, Osaka; National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Pinault Collection, Venice; Tate Modern, London; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo; and the Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama.

Celebrating the East Building Twentieth-Century Art Series, Part 14: Modern Sculpture
David Gariff, senior lecturer, National Gallery of Art. The East Building of the National Gallery of Art houses an impressive collection of modern sculptures displayed throughout its many levels. Henry Moore’s Knife Edge Mirror Two Piece, Anthony Caro’s National Gallery Ledge Piece, and the enormous mobile, Untitled, by Alexander Calder were commissioned for the opening of the building in 1978 and are prominently displayed at the entrance and in the atrium. Other large-scale works by Max Ernst, Andy Goldsworthy, Isamu Noguchi, Richard Serra, and David Smith are also found in the atrium. Throughout the upstairs galleries one can trace the history of 20th-century sculpture in parallel with the history of 20th-century painting. As part of the series Celebrating the East Building: 20th-Century Art, senior lecturer David Gariff leads a tour of the Gallery’s modern sculptures in this lecture presented on August 30, 2018, at the National Gallery of Art.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Louise Joséphine Bourgeois (French: [lwiz buʁʒwa] (listen); 25 December 1911 – 31 May 2010) was a French-American artist. Although she is best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker. She explored a variety of themes over the course of her long career including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the subconscious. These themes connect to events from her childhood which she considered to be a therapeutic process. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionists and her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement.
