  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum at FIT presents The Great Designers, Part One, the first of two consecutive exhibitions featuring masterpieces from the museum’s permanent collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories. From Alaïa, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Dior to Westwood, Yeohlee, and Zoran, the exhibition will feature approximately 50 garments from many of the most important designers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Elsa Schiaparelli will be represented by a 1935 bias-cut gown inspired by an Indian sari. An evening dress in navy-blue paper silk taffeta by Madame Grès typifies this designer’s dramatic sculptural approach to fashion. Oscar de la Renta’s sense of drama and color is evoked by a 1978 leaf-green and golden-yellow evening ensemble. Miuccia Prada’s prim yet alluring peek-a-boo lace dress, layered over a long cotton shirt, exudes the stylish quirkiness for which her label has become well known.

A number of new acquisitions to The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection will be exhibited for the first time, including an elaborately embroidered black silk coatdress by Alexander McQueen, dating from his time as creative director of Givenchy in the 1990s. The combination of sexuality and theatricality that made Thierry Mugler famous in the 1980s will be seen in his fantastical metallic bustier and fishtail skirt. Another important new acquisition in the exhibition is an elegant evening gown by Valentino, rendered in the designer’s signature shade of bright red and featured in his last-ever couture collection in 2008. The Valentino gown will be shown alongside a Versace suit from 1991, its bold Andy Warhol-inspired print emphasizing the relationship between art and fashion.

The Great Designers, Part One will also feature cutting-edge 21st century design. Rick Owens’s batwing jacket and slinky skirt epitomize his moody yet sensuous aesthetic, which has been described as “glamour meets grunge.” A wool dress by Gareth Pugh from his fall 2007 collection is characterized by the dense application of patent leather strips that gives it a feeling of contemporary armor. Also armor-like is a fierce 2006 ensemble from the English label Boudicca, which was featured in the 2006 exhibition, Love &amp; War: The Weaponized Woman. Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, and Boudicca are among today’s fashion avant-garde, tipped to be included in any future list of great designers.

Another 50 fashion masterpieces will be shown in The Great Designers, Part Two, which will be on display at The Museum at FIT from May 23 through November 10, 2012. Among the museum’s recent acquisitions that will be included in The Great Designers, Part Two are an extraordinary dress from Alexander McQueen’s spring 2010 “Plato’s Atlantis” collection, which will be on display at the museum for the first time, and a 2002 evening  ensemble  by Jean Paul Gaultier. Avant-garde looks will include Martin Margiela’s iconic dress-form jacket and Junya Watanabe’s blue denim dress. Among the historic masterpieces on display will be Charles James’s pale pink “tree dress” and a 1976 evening ensemble by Yves Saint Laurent.

The Great Designers, Part One and The Great Designers, Part Two will be organized in celebration of The Museum at FIT’s forthcoming book, The Great Designers: Fashion’s Hall of Fame from A to Z, to be published by TASCHEN in spring 2012. The book will feature color photographs of 500 of the museum’s masterpieces by 100 of history’s greatest fashion designers. A short biography of each of the featured designers will be preceded by an extensive essay on the history of fashion museums and exhibitions by Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT.

  <Description><![CDATA[The first exhibition of the three-part Modernist Art from India series focuses on representations of the figure and the body in modernist art from India after the nation's independence in 1947.
Figuration has been a long, sustained tradition in Indian art - both ancient and modern- and Indian artists had already begun to incorporate secular and non-courtly figures into their works prior to independence. Post-independence, notions of the figure and body became connected with the creation of new cultural identities, as well as the broad social and political concerns facing a new nation.
Reflecting on the predominant concerns of India's artists in the decades after Independence, The Body Unbound considers the artistic and psychic significance of figurative modes in these paintings. As India's artists negotiated professional, social, and political spaces for themselves in a changing nation, the way in which they represented the body continued to evolve. The exhibition will include works from the early 1940s - mid 1980s, ranging from traditionalist representations of Indian villagers and townspeople, to representations of metaphysical &quot;Man,&quot; to the socially and politically charged narrative representations that predominated in the 1980s.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition is the third in a series of eight exhibitions and catalogs by the foremost scholar of Tibetan Buddhist painting, David Jackson. Jackson’s current research focuses on the history of Tibetan painting as it can be reconstructed through inscriptions and representations of religious lineages from Tibetan primary
sources. Treating paintings as historical documents, Jackson offers an unprecedented methodological approach to studying Tibetan art. He has examined and contextualized these objects and woven them into a rich historical narrative that provides many insights into the culture and art of Tibet and, in this exhibition, identifies the major players in the development of the Tibetan Buddhist religious traditions  --  teachers, monks, students, and patrons of  historical teaching lineages.
 
The exhibition can be seen concurrently with Once Upon Many Times: Legends and Myths in Himalayan Art until January 30, an exhibition that presents the variety of forms that tell stories of the Buddha, great teachers, legendary masters and their spiritual quests, and adventures of heroes painted in thangkas, murals, and told in front of portable shrines.
 
 
What do such ancient paintings mean to us today? According to Donald Rubin, co-founder and co-chair of the board of the Rubin Museum, “When we look at the portraits of teachers presented in the exhibition, we feel that we know them because of the human features depicted -- balding heads, peculiar facial hair, or protruding teeth. They look like people we might have met just yesterday. And in feeling that connection, we receive the inspiration they offer us -- great saints all of them -- reaching across time and space.” Chief Curator Jan Van Alphen added, “David Jackson fully explores this notion of guru worship and its artistic outcomes, noting the conflicting tendencies present in such paintings—depicting the idealized saint and the recognizable human teacher at the same time.”
 
Mirror of the Buddha includes portraits of the founders and teachers in all of the Tibetan Buddhist schools. Six Tibetan Buddhist sects are represented in all, in rough chronological order. They begin with the Kadam School, followed by Taklung, Drigung Kagyu, Karma Kagyu, Sakya, and Geluk traditions. Within each school, the paintings are ordered chronologically. Grouping the art by religious tradition allows the visitor to observe broad pan-Tibetan stylistic developments. It also highlights a few cases of striking sectarian stylistic preferences.
 
Dating between roughly 1200 and 1550, the images chosen for presentation exemplify two classic Indic styles of Tibetan painting. Most are in the East-Indian inspired Sharri (“Pala”) style, characterized by classic Indian forms, delicate colors, and intricate decorative details. Though this style spread from India to many parts of Asia, it was emulated most faithfully by Tibetans, enjoying its highest popularity in Tibet from the twelfth to fourteenth century.  A number of the later portraits are in the Nepalese-inspired Beri style, which succeeded the Sharri in Tibet in the mid-fourteenth century.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Characters as diverse as Mickey Mouse, the historical Buddha, Tomb Raider Lara Croft, and the Green Lama have something in common: Tibet. For more than 60 years Tibet has figured in comic books from around the world, at times creating and at times perpetuating notions of a an otherworldly land roamed by the Yeti, inhabited by wise and powerful lamas, or full of dark magic.
Hero, Villain, Yeti features the most complete collection of comics related to Tibet ever assembled, with examples ranging from the 1940s to the present. More than 50 comic books from the United States, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan, India and Tibet reflect on the depiction of Tibet as a whole, tracing prevailing perceptions' and stereotypes' historical roots, and their visual and narrative evolution over time.
Tibet-both real and imagined-appears across comic books genres, including fantasy comics about superheroes and villains, mythical creatures, and the search for mysterious lands, people, and objects; biographies of holy figures like the Dalai Lama and the Buddha; political comics; and educational comics.
Visitors are invited to read dozens of original comic books-a number of which have also been translated into English for the first time-at a reading station in the exhibition.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[511 Gallery presents The Figure in the Landscape: 100 Years of Photography, an exhibition of photographs by Eugene Atget, Gregory Crewdson, Benjamin Faga, Anna Ferrer, Mario Giacomelli, Catriona Grant, Laura Heyman, Vaughan Judge, Lucy Levene, Romaine Orthwein, Carole Reiff and Rebecca Soderholm.

Intimate and yet vast, neither portrait nor landscape, the photographs in this show constitute a genre of their own: The Figure in the Landscape. Whether natural or domestic, the environments in which the figures exist, speak as loudly as the figures themselves. Thus, even the term figure becomes flexible, as the subject of the photograph stretches to include animals, plants or structures. Though most photographs in this exhibition depict the human figure, most of them in action, it is the context of the figure’s physical environment that breathes life and meaning into the work. In each composition, the figure and the setting almost equally hold their own.

These varied photographs were taken by twelve different artists between 1912 and 2012; yet they all successfully marry the figure and the landscape in ways that make the viewer contemplate the practical and spiritual relationship humans have to their environments,
whether natural or domestic. United in this exhibition, these photographs also engage in a vivid and playful conversation amongst themselves, opening up the work further, providing the viewer with a rich and dynamic experience.

  <Description><![CDATA[Departure is a dual exhibition, celebrating the work of artists Pansum Cheng and Phyllis and Victor Merriam, which takes the viewer on a journey into the artists’ exploration of the dislocation of physical space from the forms that exist within it. Through the mutual negation of space by form and form by space, obvious connections are lost and the audience is challenged to venture beyond the visual and enter the works in an emotional way.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This project encompasses vignettes into people’s lives through objects that hold significant personal meaning to them. Through each object on display, a conversation with its caretaker begins; visitors have the freedom to peruse the objects and listen to an accompanying audio guide conversation. It is through these stories that we connect and engage with the person behind the story and gain insight and an intimate connection to something deeper within ourselves. From Bibbe's relationship with her mom through gathering stones to a realization of home in acceptance of every moment as &quot;perfect,&quot; to SKJ's first projector providing the construction of personal and social resources that help shape his creative community. A new inspired look at timeless portraiture, weaving together personal archives and institutional archives, forgotten histories, memories, and embodied experiences in a testament and an affirmation of life and its lessons.]]></Description>
