Strange Bodies
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
December 11, 2008- early 2010
Lower level galleries
Figurative art plays an important role in the Hirshhorn's collection.
"Strange Bodies," on view from Dec. 11 to early 2010, brings together
some of the most celebrated examples of figuration from the museum's
holdings to examine how and why artists depict and distort the body.
Organized by associate curator Kristen Hileman and located in the
lower-level galleries, the installation comprises more than 40 works,
with a rotation of works occurring midway through the show. The
exhibition also includes a gallery devoted to a survey of the museum's
unique, in-depth holdings of works on paper and paintings by George
Grosz, which demonstrate a socially charged use of the human form.

Nicholas Fox Weber, Executive Director of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, discusses the artist's life and work, as well as Albers'
close relationship with Joseph Hirshhorn. Thanks to Hirshhorn's interest in Albers' creative pursuits, the Museum possesses one of the world's largest and most comprehensive collections of Albers' work, encompassing his entire career.This program is free.

 ***************************************************

Phoebe Greenberg will be at the Hirshhorn on Thursday, February 25 from 7-8pm for a "Meet the Artist" talk. Here is the description from the Hirshhorn's website:

Part nightmare, part morality tale, Next Floor, 2008, by Phoebe Greenberg provides a metaphor for society’s excessive consumption. The artist conceived and produced this piece, which was awarded Best Short Film, International Critic’s Week at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, with director Denis Villeneuve and a feature film–scale crew. Greenberg will discuss her process and work, about which she has observed, "in this absurd and grotesque universe, an unexpected sequence of events undermines the endless symphony of abundance."

Refreshments for Meet the Artist: Phoebe Greenberg are provided by SOVA Espresso & Wine.

*Thursday, Mar. 18; 7 p.m.*

*Meet the Artist: John Gerrard*

John Gerrard's works hover between fact and fiction. They present actual scenes from desolate corners of the American landscape-including a pumping oil derrick, a pig processing plant and a vintage storm photo superimposed on a real farmscape-but what looks like a live, panning shot is, in fact, a fabricated image. The artist discusses the complex process behind these stark, realistic works, which re-imagine landscape art and offer meditations on the impact of our habits of consumption.
This event is presented in conjunction with the 2010 Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D.C. This program is free.
