Go is a 2017 exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago which says: "Through paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, designed objects, textiles, books, and films, Go reveals not only how speed has been celebrated but also how it has been managed and resisted. Thus, as a title, Go summons both the initiation of movement -- a launch -- and a kind of ongoingness." Accessed 3/17

In Pursuit of Strangeness: Wyeth and Westermann in Dialogue is a 2013 exhibit at the Ackland Art Museum which says: "Dating from the early twentieth century to the present, the works on view exemplify the complexities of our relationship to home and place through unsettling perspectives and unusual materials, subverting the understanding of home as familiar (heimlich) and transforming it into something foreign (unheimlich). The exhibition also investigates the difference between a house and a home, as well as how homes become extensions of their inhabitants. In addition to Wyeth and Westermann, other artists in the show include Ralph Gibson, Marilyn Anne Levine, Bruce Nauman, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White, among others." Accessed 1/22

Mortality: A Survey of Contemporary Death Art is a 2020 exhibit at the American University Museum which says: "The exhibition is a survey of contemporary works of art that deal with death.

Murder, She Said is a 2016-17 exhibit at the Anya and Andrew Shiva Gallery, which says: "This exhibition will explore why murder is so often a source of fascination frequently inflected by irony and wry humor in the visual /arts today....The appeal of murder itself, as reflected in art and literature, is in some ways easy to understand. Artworks can provide us the vicarious satisfaction of dispatching our enemies - and thus of controlling death, the very eventuality that, in real life, implacably haunts, defies, and defeats us." Accessed 12/21

Serial Intent is a 2017 exhibit at the Akron Art Museum which says: "With Pop Art prints, dramatic photographic series, evocative narratives, and more, the Akron Art Museum's exhibition Serial Intent offers visitors the rare opportunity to experience multi-part artwork within the serial contexts intended by the artists who created them."
