Everyday Things brings together contemporary works from the
collection that depict commonplace objects and imagery, utilize everyday
elements in their construction (teabags, fluorescent lights, metal
pipes, a bowling ball), or serve as functional artist-made objects,
including benches, chairs, and light fixtures. With roots in Pop Art,
Photorealism, and design, artists in the exhibition use non-traditional
materials and subject matter to transform, repurpose, and represent
aspects of everyday life.
The exhibition features 32
worksincluding sculpture, painting, and printsfrom realist paintings
from the 1960s and 1970s (Don Eddy, Janet Fish, John Baeder, and Jack
Beal), mixed-media works from the 1980s to 2000s (Tania Bruguera, Mike
Kelley, Pepón Osorio, Carrie Mae Weems, and B. Wurtz), and recent
acquisitions to the collection (Leidy Churchman, Jim Drain, Rob Pruitt,
and Jessica Stockholder).
