ART EXHIBITIONS

The paintings in this exhibition explore each artist’s connection to Ohio. 

There’s No Place Like Home opens with a Gallery Hop Exhibition Reception on November 6, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and is on view through Dec. 23. A virtual exhibition will be available at brandtrobertsgalleries.com/exhibitions.

The exhibition presents a range of the artist’s shaped-plywood paintings and assemblages that address movement and the body, drawing especially on African American history, accomplishments and experience.

The main level of the Pizzuti Collection of CMA will feature a solo exhibition by multi-disciplinary artist Nina Katchadourian. An immersive and deeply personal work about resourcefulness, hope and creative capacity under duress, Katchadourian’s To Feel Something That Was Not of Our World is fitting as the museum and the world emerge from crisis.

These works will be on view through April 21, 2022.

Hiroshi Hayakawa explains, “Thirteen upperclass students enrolled in Photography Projects at Columbus College of Art & Design worked on this group project over the past five weeks. The goal of the project was to capture the essence of an active art scene in Central Ohio by showcasing several visual artists living and working today. Through the process of photographing their subjects and listening to their stories, our students were able to catch a glimpse of the rich artistic talent pool in Central Ohio and renew the perspective on their own artistic future inspired by the insights gained from working with the artists. We hope the visitors to this show are also inspired by what they see in the exhibit as much as our students were”Exhibit will continue through Nov. 20 during Regular Gallery Hours or by appointment. Please follow our Covid safety protocols while visiting the gallery whether unvaccinated or fully vaccinated. 815 N High; 614-327-1344; seanchristophergallery.com.

Wexner Center for the Arts

Wexner Center for the Arts

This fall, the Wexner Center will devote its galleries to the first large-scale museum exhibition of vanguard abstract painter Jacqueline Humphries.

A maverick figure in New York’s downtown scene, Humphries has reworked and revitalized the language of abstract painting over a career that has covered four decades and multiple transformations in style. The Wex’s presentation will focus on the past seven years, highlighting the importance of digital communications and online culture to Humphries’s evolving practice. Guest-curated by Mark Godfrey, the exhibition features dozens of paintings, including a new multipanel installation—her largest to date—created in response to the center’s iconic postmodernist architecture.

The exhibition also features Humphries’s recent work exploring the visual language of corporate logos; her black light paintings, made with fluorescent paints to be presented in a darkened space; and a selection of protest sign paintings. These invoke art’s long history as a medium of dissent as well as the uprisings that have increasingly shaped modern politics. To learn more, visit wexarts.org. 

Humphries’ exhibition will be on display through Jan. 2, 2022.

The Wexner Center will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Gallery Hop.
