  <Description><![CDATA[This performance retrospective traces the prolific career of Marina Abramović (Yugoslavian, b. 1946) with approximately fifty works spanning over three decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). In an endeavor to transmit the presence of the artist and make her historical performances accessible to a larger audience, the exhibition includes the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. In addition, a new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece. All performances, one of which involves viewer participation, will take place throughout the entire duration of the exhibition, starting before the Museum opens each day and continuing until after it closes, to allow visitors to experience the timelessness of the works. A chronological installation of Abramović’s work will be included in The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Gallery on the sixth floor of the Museum, revealing different modes of representing, documenting, and exhibiting her ephemeral, time-based, and media-based works.

  <Description><![CDATA[The exhibition investigates how local artists from a variety of backgrounds are placed in relation to the rest of the world. Seen through a global lens, this exhibition explores the multiple cultures that populate our general culture and how the local and national are inextricably linked to the global. This exhibition examines the tensions of uncontrollable forces that are dislocating our society to redefine a new civilization. The artworks reflect how the national contains global concerns, searching inside our culture to project our global position. This exhibition tells the story of those concerns and new ways in which we can order the chaos.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Dadaists understood the elements of change and chance to be influential to the creation of an artwork. Anderson's work cradles the idea of chance in that he finds his inspiration and materials walking along the street in discarded boards, chairs and broken records. To these items, he adds his own untameable element: fire. 
Either ignited or dormant, the flammable aspect of Anderson's work plays into its understanding. In &quot;This Side of the Bed is Occupied&quot; (2002), a stray piece of wood is surrounded entirely by matchsticks and glue, the sticks decapitated and therefore robbed of their only function. The heads are found in &quot;A Prayer Cloth&quot; (2009), where they are glued to a piece of canvas soaked with linseed oil. The two components lay side by side without igniting. Anderson also draws his aesthetic from after the alchemic reaction has occurred. In &quot;Pour Robert Filliou&quot; (2010), the matchsticks appear again, this time as spent objects strung together to resemble an explosive, ammunition, or a chain reaction.  &quot;Autoportrait&quot; (2009), reveals golden raisins adhered to the inside of an old shirt, their shriveled remains representing the artist himself, or more poignantly, a dream deferred.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This spring, White Box in association with Firstsite Contemporary Art is hosting a highly challenging exhibition of paintings and drawings of execution chambers in the USA by the critically acclaimed artist Robert Priseman. The exhibition is a part of Robert Priseman's extended &quot;Modern Means of Execution&quot; project which has been four years in the making. It was initially inspired by Nick Broomfield's television documentary on the execution of serial killer Aileen Wuornos. &quot;I was working on paintings of hospital interiors when I saw the documentary, and I became aware of similarities between the iconography of execution facilities and those of medical institutions,” explains Priseman. Originally shown at the Dazed Gallery in London, the book was launched in London and Paris in October with the support of Firstsite Contemporary Art. It opens with an account from Rev. Cathy Harrington whose daughter Leslie Ann Mazzara was lost to murder. Cathy negotiated a life sentence for her daughter’s murderer, Eric Copple, who had potentially been facing the death sentence. This is followed by a view of life from inside death row at San Quentin by PEN winner Anthony Ross who was a former Crips gang member alongside Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams. Then former Texas prison Warden and Peabody recipient, Jim Willett, who oversaw 89 executions gives a detailed description of how an execution is carried out. A visit to see Robert Priseman's paintings and etchings of American execution chambers is no easy experience. Standing in front of the almost life-size paintings, you, as the visitor, are the only person in the painting and therefore the execution 'room'. There is no escaping from a full-on confrontation with the cruelty of the death penalty and the reality of your own mortality.

  <Description><![CDATA[The show will include a large sculpture based on the scaffold used to hang the famous Chicago anarchists known as the Haymarket Martyrs (shown in the image above).  Monument-like in scale, the sculpture is not an exact reproduction of the gallows but rather an outline of the structure that doubles as a worker’s break room. Viewers can access the platform using an industrial steel staircase, and once on top get a drink from a water dispenser.]]></Description>
