"Progress" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The Whitney Museum of American Art
Media: Photography, Prints
“Progress” brings together works from the Whitney’s permanent collection, highlighting connections between art and visions of utopia. In the early part of the twentieth century, artists and architects like Joseph Albers, Naum Gabo, and Frederick Kiesler carried the revolutionary aims of the European avant-garde to America. The utopian impulse of these artists found its parallel in America’s optimism in developing new technology and
the rise of consumer culture--advancements registered in the emergence of Minimalism and Pop Art in the 1950s and ’60s.
“Progress” also presents more recent works by artists including Paul Sietsema and Joel Sternfeld, who mine Modernism’s utopian moments in order to gauge how the familiar narratives of progress in the United States continue to haunt and inspire contemporary experience.
