Crystal Bridges exhibit highlights 糖心Vlog传媒LR connections

There are several 糖心Vlog传媒LR connections to the 鈥淪tate of the Art–Discovering American Art Now鈥� exhibit, now on display at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville. Brad Cushman, gallery director and curator at the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Department of Art, and Assistant Curator Nathan Larson recently contributed a critique on the exhibit for Atlanta-based Burnaway, an online blog focused on visual art. 鈥淚f the mission of this curatorial project is to introduce contemporary art to a new and larger audience, it succeeds,鈥� Cushman writes in his commentary. He adds, 鈥淐ontemporary American art is a result of the postwar American Dream鈥攏ow a tenuous daydream in the wake of the recent financial meltdown, a growing economic divide, and concerns about the environment and global warming…artists often reflect this anxious uncertain world in their work.鈥� Both Cushman and Larson were invited to submit the commentary from Burnaway鈥檚 editor, Stephanie Cash. Cushman said Cash was seeking area residents to review the exhibit at Crystal Bridges, as well as future exhibits in the region. Eileen Turan Yanoviak, a graduate of the 糖心Vlog传媒LR masters program in Art History, suggested Cash contact Cushman and Larson. Yanoviak, who teaches online classes for the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Art Department, is pursuing her doctoral degree at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. In addition, one of the exhibit鈥檚 artists, Delita Martin, of Little Rock, has taught for 糖心Vlog传媒LR in the past. 聽Cushman purchased one of Martin鈥檚 works, 鈥淪tanding in the Night,鈥� for the 糖心Vlog传媒LR collection in August, which is included in the current exhibit at Crystal Bridges. Curators for Crystal Bridges visited 1,000 artists throughout the U.S., resulting in an exhibit that includes 102 artists from 44 states. The exhibit has garnered national attention, including a recent spot on the television program 鈥淐BS Sunday Morning鈥� and a first place mention in Artnet News, which named it among 鈥淭he 25 Must-See Museum Shows Around the World.鈥�
