SUMMARY:Elevate
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Elevate” by quiltdologist Celeste Butler runs July 12 through Aug. 23. Opening Reception is July 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. The Artist Talk will be Aug. 1 from 7 to 8 p.m. featuring Chef Jamil from House of Bah. \n\n\n\nArtist statement: Any negative thing–past\, present or future–intended to cause hurt or harm is called into submission\, exposed and used to elevate. \n\n\n\nWhen your lived experience is Blackness it can’t be overlooked\, pushed in a corner or ignored. We get to live and love each other from a healthy space. \n\n\n\nWhen I see people who are melanated\, I look for all of the features and natural beauty that make us striking and unique. Elevate your heads and hearts to know that you are enough. Skin soft as velvet\, broad noises that take up space\, lusciously soft thick lips like pillows\, textures of hair that defy gravity and transmit information\, thick thighs and booties so round the moon stops by to give a high five! Last but not least\, knowledge and creativity so vast that we built a civilized nation.  \n\n\n\nSo\, from this day forward\, in a world that is constantly working to annihilate and erase you\, don’t ever hold your head down or forget who you are. We rise with a renewed commitment to build\, work together and elevate.  \n\n\n\nThere is no division amongst us unless we allow it to be. I intentionally curated a space where love and rest can be elevated and grow side by side.

SUMMARY:From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibit\, “From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change\,” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from June 13 through Sept. 14\, 2025. Curated by Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programs\, the exhibition brings together 21 artists and an artist collective to examine the environmental\, cultural\, and political implications of water in two vital North American regions. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists — who have lived or worked in these regions — grapple with water as both life-giving and contested\, revealing its roles in systems of resilience\, exploitation\, and transformation. Works span media and perspectives\, with artists drawing from disciplines including ecology\, activism\, technology\, history\, and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nArtists featured in this exhibition include Teresa Baker\, Jess Benjamin\, Nadia Botello\, Andrea Carlson + Rozalinda Borcila\, Hoesy Corona\, Timothy Frerichs\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Dana Fritz\, Sky Hopinka\, JeeYeun Lee\, Dylan AT Miner\, Trey Moody\, John Pfahl\, Platte Basin Timelapse\, Asad Raza\, Karen Reimer\, Anna Scime\, Bently Spang\, Colleen Thurston\, and Tali Weinberg. Their contributions range from film and installation to weaving\, sculpture\, and sound — together offering imaginative responses to the urgent global water crisis. \n\n\n\nAmong the highlights are monumental clay sculptures by Jess Benjamin\, evoking the Hoover Dam intake towers and reflecting on infrastructure’s long-term environmental toll; a new commission by Tali Weinberg that translates 130 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature data from four U.S. river basins into woven textile panels; and Bently Spang’s immersive War Shirt #6 – Waterways\, a powerful reinterpretation of the Plains Indian war shirt composed of 26 video monitors capturing the sights and sounds of water across Indigenous homelands.

SUMMARY:The Primacy of Form
DESCRIPTION:“The Primacy of Form\,” a new sculpture by pioneering sculptor Bruce Beasley\, will be on display at KANEKO from March 21 through Aug. 16\, 2025. Beasley transforms basic geometric shapes into mesmerizing compositions that seem to defy gravity. Working in materials from bronze and granite to Lucite\, his sculptures have commanded international attention since his undergraduate years\, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) displayed Beasley’s work with Picasso’s and Duchamp’s in a groundbreaking 1961 exhibition. KANEKO’s soaring spaces provide the perfect setting for these sculptures\, allowing visitors to appreciate their commanding presence and intricate interplay of form and light. \nThrough support from MECA/The Riverfront\, KANEKO is proud to host exhibitions of each artist featured in the park and to produce public programs providing community access to the artists and their work. Stroll through the Gene Leahy Mall Sculpture Park and see the Beasley work “Aeolis 7.”

SUMMARY:"Beyond the Finishing Point"
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the Finishing Point” showcases Jun Kaneko’s collaborative drawings with 3-year-old Ana Citrin. The exhibit runs through Oct. 8. \n\n\n\nThe collection reveals what happens when mastery meets uninhibited expression. The series emerged from Kaneko’s fundamental artistic question – How do you know when a work is finished? – explored during his tenure as Head of Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art. \n\n\n\nIn this extraordinary partnership\, Ana became the decision-maker\, determining when each drawing was complete. “I made a rule\,” Kaneko explains. “When she said\, ‘new paper\,’ no matter what\, I had to stop and change the paper.” Their Saturday sessions\, spanning over two years\, produced works that bridge disciplined technique and pure creative instinct. The exhibition invites viewers into a meditation on artistic boundaries\, revealing the profound connections that form when an established artist surrenders control to spontaneity and trust.

SUMMARY:Elevate
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Elevate” by quiltdologist Celeste Butler runs July 12 through Aug. 23. Opening Reception is July 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. The Artist Talk will be Aug. 1 from 7 to 8 p.m. featuring Chef Jamil from House of Bah. \n\n\n\nArtist statement: Any negative thing–past\, present or future–intended to cause hurt or harm is called into submission\, exposed and used to elevate. \n\n\n\nWhen your lived experience is Blackness it can’t be overlooked\, pushed in a corner or ignored. We get to live and love each other from a healthy space. \n\n\n\nWhen I see people who are melanated\, I look for all of the features and natural beauty that make us striking and unique. Elevate your heads and hearts to know that you are enough. Skin soft as velvet\, broad noises that take up space\, lusciously soft thick lips like pillows\, textures of hair that defy gravity and transmit information\, thick thighs and booties so round the moon stops by to give a high five! Last but not least\, knowledge and creativity so vast that we built a civilized nation.  \n\n\n\nSo\, from this day forward\, in a world that is constantly working to annihilate and erase you\, don’t ever hold your head down or forget who you are. We rise with a renewed commitment to build\, work together and elevate.  \n\n\n\nThere is no division amongst us unless we allow it to be. I intentionally curated a space where love and rest can be elevated and grow side by side.

SUMMARY:From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains
DESCRIPTION:The special exhibit\, “From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains: The Visible Currents of Climate Change\,” is at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts from June 13 through Sept. 14\, 2025. Curated by Rachel Adams\, Chief Curator and Director of Programs\, the exhibition brings together 21 artists and an artist collective to examine the environmental\, cultural\, and political implications of water in two vital North American regions. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists — who have lived or worked in these regions — grapple with water as both life-giving and contested\, revealing its roles in systems of resilience\, exploitation\, and transformation. Works span media and perspectives\, with artists drawing from disciplines including ecology\, activism\, technology\, history\, and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nArtists featured in this exhibition include Teresa Baker\, Jess Benjamin\, Nadia Botello\, Andrea Carlson + Rozalinda Borcila\, Hoesy Corona\, Timothy Frerichs\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Dana Fritz\, Sky Hopinka\, JeeYeun Lee\, Dylan AT Miner\, Trey Moody\, John Pfahl\, Platte Basin Timelapse\, Asad Raza\, Karen Reimer\, Anna Scime\, Bently Spang\, Colleen Thurston\, and Tali Weinberg. Their contributions range from film and installation to weaving\, sculpture\, and sound — together offering imaginative responses to the urgent global water crisis. \n\n\n\nAmong the highlights are monumental clay sculptures by Jess Benjamin\, evoking the Hoover Dam intake towers and reflecting on infrastructure’s long-term environmental toll; a new commission by Tali Weinberg that translates 130 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature data from four U.S. river basins into woven textile panels; and Bently Spang’s immersive War Shirt #6 – Waterways\, a powerful reinterpretation of the Plains Indian war shirt composed of 26 video monitors capturing the sights and sounds of water across Indigenous homelands.

SUMMARY:The Primacy of Form
DESCRIPTION:“The Primacy of Form\,” a new sculpture by pioneering sculptor Bruce Beasley\, will be on display at KANEKO from March 21 through Aug. 16\, 2025. Beasley transforms basic geometric shapes into mesmerizing compositions that seem to defy gravity. Working in materials from bronze and granite to Lucite\, his sculptures have commanded international attention since his undergraduate years\, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) displayed Beasley’s work with Picasso’s and Duchamp’s in a groundbreaking 1961 exhibition. KANEKO’s soaring spaces provide the perfect setting for these sculptures\, allowing visitors to appreciate their commanding presence and intricate interplay of form and light. \nThrough support from MECA/The Riverfront\, KANEKO is proud to host exhibitions of each artist featured in the park and to produce public programs providing community access to the artists and their work. Stroll through the Gene Leahy Mall Sculpture Park and see the Beasley work “Aeolis 7.”

SUMMARY:"Beyond the Finishing Point"
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the Finishing Point” showcases Jun Kaneko’s collaborative drawings with 3-year-old Ana Citrin. The exhibit runs through Oct. 8. \n\n\n\nThe collection reveals what happens when mastery meets uninhibited expression. The series emerged from Kaneko’s fundamental artistic question – How do you know when a work is finished? – explored during his tenure as Head of Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art. \n\n\n\nIn this extraordinary partnership\, Ana became the decision-maker\, determining when each drawing was complete. “I made a rule\,” Kaneko explains. “When she said\, ‘new paper\,’ no matter what\, I had to stop and change the paper.” Their Saturday sessions\, spanning over two years\, produced works that bridge disciplined technique and pure creative instinct. The exhibition invites viewers into a meditation on artistic boundaries\, revealing the profound connections that form when an established artist surrenders control to spontaneity and trust.

SUMMARY:The Primacy of Form
DESCRIPTION:“The Primacy of Form\,” a new sculpture by pioneering sculptor Bruce Beasley\, will be on display at KANEKO from March 21 through Aug. 16\, 2025. Beasley transforms basic geometric shapes into mesmerizing compositions that seem to defy gravity. Working in materials from bronze and granite to Lucite\, his sculptures have commanded international attention since his undergraduate years\, when the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) displayed Beasley’s work with Picasso’s and Duchamp’s in a groundbreaking 1961 exhibition. KANEKO’s soaring spaces provide the perfect setting for these sculptures\, allowing visitors to appreciate their commanding presence and intricate interplay of form and light. \nThrough support from MECA/The Riverfront\, KANEKO is proud to host exhibitions of each artist featured in the park and to produce public programs providing community access to the artists and their work. Stroll through the Gene Leahy Mall Sculpture Park and see the Beasley work “Aeolis 7.”
