Opener 14: Dean Snyder: Almost Blue
May 17 – August 31, 2008
May 17 – August 31, 2008
Opener 14: Dean Snyder: Almost Blue features a new body of work by Providence, Rhode Island-based artist Dean Snyder, whose large sculptures represent a fusion of organic sources and material experimentation. Growing from Snyder’s previous works in wood and rawhide, this new series uses high-tech carbon fibers and acrylic flake paint to eye-popping ends. In Almost Blue investigations of process, form, and color come together in a constellation of works that blend into one continuous experience in the gallery space.
Opener 14: Dean Snyder: Almost Blue is organized by Ian Berry, Malloy Curator, in collaboration with the artist.

Opener 15: Amy Sillman: Third Person Singular
July 19, 2008 – January 4, 2009New York-based painter Amy Sillman produces works that are intimate, psychological and full of humor and pathos. At the same time, they are remarkably analytical and intellectual investigations into the forms and qualities of painting as a medium. Combining calligraphic, gestural areas with large bands of color that often serve as outlines, Sillman resists prescribed categories within painting and allows her works to remain ambiguous. In her most recent large-scale paintings, the spaces become increasingly sculptural as she builds bold, overlapping sections while continuously rearranging them. Fascinated by the act of coupling, Sillman has recently been creating a body of work that begins by observing couples that she knows, translating her "findings" into a range of visual interpretations.
Amy Sillman: Third Person Singular is co-organized by Ian Berry, Malloy Curator, Tang Museum, and Anne Ellegood, Curator, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC, in collaboration with the artist. The exhibition will be on view at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden from March 13 – July 6, 2008.

Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love
September 29, 2008 – January 25, 2009San Antonio-based artist Dario Robleto is well known for his astonishingly hand-crafted objects: works that reflect the artist’s intense investigation of such wide-ranging topics as science, music, popular culture, philosophy, war, and American history. Utilizing a lengthy roster of bizarre and disparate materials—including melted and pulverized vinyl records, artifacts gleaned from battlefields, rare herbs and minerals, and even prehistoric fossils and human bones—Robleto excavates conceptually-loaded elements from the past. He then seamlessly combines and refashions these potent details into poetic works that speak volumes about history and nostalgia, as well as concerns about the present condition of our world and its future. The resulting works are much more than just the sum of their constituent parts or factual interpretations of particular events and personalities, rather they are sincere and emotional meditations on love, loss, spirituality, and, ultimately, healing. Alloy Of Love, the artist's first major museum survey, chronicles a decade of Robleto's works and includes pivotal examples of his sculptures and collages.
Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love is organized by guest curator Elizabeth Dunbar in collaboration with the Tang Museum and the Frye Museum of Art, Seattle, Washington. The exhibition will be on view at the Frye Museum of Art from May 17 through September 1, 2008.
