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.

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

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.

Annabel Daou at the Arlington Art Center, Arlington, VA

GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT: ANNABEL DAOU

ON VIEW: JANUARY 29 - MARCH 19, 2022

Truland & Experimental Galleries

The first in a new series dedicated to the work of international artists, Global Spotlight: Annabel Daou features two recent video works by the Lebanese-born, New York-based artist. The two works – A Year Like Any Other (2020), and chou hayda / if you only knew (2017-2018) – offer meditations on the human relationship to time and its passage, particularly in periods of crisis. In both works, Daou blurs the boundaries between the mundane experiences of day-to-day life and the dramatic events that mark moments of political and historical cataclysm, capturing the disorientation that results as individuals are swept up in the narratives of history.
