From the Sculpture Space website:
Detroit-born and New York State based artist Jeff Gibbons is the selected long-term resident for the 2024-25 season. Jeff's distinct approach to art, blending personal narrative with broader societal themes, makes him an exemplary figure to drive forward our commitment to fostering innovative and meaningful sculptural practices.
Tom Montan, the Executive Director of Sculpture Spaces, expressed his enthusiasm about Jeff's upcoming residency, stating, "Jeff embodies a strong sense of exploration and robust maker energy that is essential for the transformative experiences we aim to support through our program." Montan is particularly excited about the dynamic Jeff will bring to the community, anticipating that his unique artistic approach and commitment to process will resonate deeply within and beyond the Sculpture Spaces community.
Jeff will be in residence from October 2024 through June 2025, a period during which he will bridge several shorter-term residencies, providing continuity and a unique perspective that spans these diverse artistic cycles. His artistic journey from his blue-collar roots in Detroit to establishing a vibrant presence in the Dallas art scene has consistently used his background as a rich source of inspiration, making the ordinary extraordinary and the personal universal.

In January 2024, Temporary Art Platform reached out to ten visual artists to create context-responsive, socially-engaged works that occupy the space of a billboard in Beirut, Lebanon – conceptually reflecting and subverting the commentary on the failure of its classic image: the advertisement. The billboard format requires the contemporary artist to address a wide general audience and engage unsuspecting passersby with great visual clarity. September 19 - October 2, 2024

My Eyes Are Starving for Beauty by Anthony Sonnenberg at Big Medium, Austin, TX
My Eyes Are Starving for Beauty is a site-specific installation and performance in celebration of the role that beauty and fantasy have played in queer self-empowerment for the last century and beyond. Using common materials, such as recycled clay, thrift store blankets, and scrap lumber, the artist, (a fat gay man) seeks to create a moment of pure fantasy, continuing to defy beauty standards and experience what it means and how it feels to be beautiful.

(June 6, 2024 – La Jolla, California) – The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is proud to announce For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability on view from September 19, 2024 to February 2, 2025. The exhibition is organized as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, an initiative of the Getty Foundation. Bolstered by the support and structure of the Getty Foundation, the special exhibition, organized by Senior Curator Jill Dawsey, Ph.D. and former Associate Curator Isabel Casso, is PST ART’s largest presentation by square footage this year.
Kathryn Kanjo, the David C. Copley Director and CEO at MCASD notes, “The artworks featured in For Dear Life bring compassion and criticality to the conversations surrounding health today. For Dear Life extends the museum’s legacy of presenting rigorous exhibitions that speak to societal consciousness through the art of our time.”
For Dear Life is the first survey of artistic responses to illness, disability, and the vulnerability of the body in American art since the 1960s. In recent years, the art world has seen an explosion of activity confronting issues of illness, disability, and forms of unruly embodiment more broadly. Tracing genealogies of art practices that have shaped contemporary currents, For Dear Life explores how this turn was preceded by the work of artists and activists beginning in the 1960s and 1970s.
