Margaret Meehan Modern Billings - Museum of Modern Art Fort Worth

via The Modern website   |   Jun 22, 2022  

https://www.themodern.org/modern-billings

Using space from Clear Channel Outdoor as programming sites, Assistant Curators of Education Jesse Morgan Barnett and Tiffany Wolf Smith work with a variety of artists to situate imagery and text onto billboards, elements of the city that traditionally present commercial advertisements rather than cultural curiosities. For MODERN BILLINGS, artists place works into under-served communities along the periphery of downtown Fort Worth. These large-scale installations along Jacksboro Highway and the Lancaster corridor extend the reach of the Modern and the education department and provide an intervention opportunity for contemporary art in urban landscapes.

MODERN BILLINGS XI, June 24 - August 7, 2022

Margaret Meehan is a Virginia-based artist whose work is a research-based, multidisciplinary exploration that pulls from film, music, popular culture, folklore, and traditional crafts. She considers the origins of outcasts through their representation. Meehan’s research includes teratology and medicine, ornithology, the esthetics of cuteness, materiality in high and low culture as well as modes of feminist protest. This all stems from her curiosity about the lines that separate what is protected from what is feared and how gendering plays into these expectations. For MODERN BILLINGS XI, she references the Greek myth of Cassandra as a way to give voice to women and femme identified individuals in the world today.

Billy Hassell's exhibition, Topography, will open March 26 and be on view through June 19, 2022.

This exhibition will focus on works from Mr. Hassell’s oeuvre that depict animals and plants that are local to Southeast Texas communities, as well as extinct animals that were once native to the area. The exhibition will emphasize to viewers the importance of conservation and preservation on the local and state-levels, as well as include programming that introduces community members to ways they can participate in these efforts.

An opening reception will take place on Friday, April 1, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Light drinks and
refreshments will be served, and a brief gallery talk with the artist will take place at 7:15 p.m.

A Taste of the Arts Lecture is currently scheduled for Friday, April 15, 2022 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Lamar University Professor of Painting and Drawing, Donna Meeks, will be speaking. Meeks will give a 30-
minute gallery talk about Hassell’s work. Visitors are encouraged to join Meeks and the AMSET staff for a
Dutch-treat lunch in the café after the gallery talk has ended.

Annabel Daou at the Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS

Jan 26, 2022  

https://ulrich.wichita.edu/ulrich_exhibition/annabel-daou-declaration/

Annabel Daou's solo exhibition DECLARATION at Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, opens January 27, 2022 and runs through May 7, 2022.

In 2019-2020, the artist Annabel Daou created and exhibited a 20-foot text-covered sculptural scroll, WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS, titled in an allusion to the Declaration of Independence. The text for the scroll was sourced collectively and contained everyday expressions interspersed with lines borrowed, stolen, or gifted by other artists, poets, writers, and activists. In 2020, Daou created the sound piece DECLARATION (running time: 24 minutes 40 seconds) in collaboration with the sound artist Miriam Schickler. The work features Daou’s voice reciting phrases from the scroll as first-person actions, interspersed with a mix of sounds, both of peaceful city life and chants from recent protests in Chile, Lebanon, and other places around the world. The Ulrich Museum of Art acquired the piece for its permanent collection in 2021.
