Jonathan Horowitz, an artist distinguished for his critical engagement with politics and culture, has organized a series of installations by artists of diverse ages and backgrounds across generations. Works explore transformative changes the country has experienced since 2020, addressing racism, antisemitism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and more.
Learn more about the exhibition below.
As a “visual commentary,” Horowitz’s installations engage with the core exhibition’s major themes – including immigration and adaptation, tradition and change, and advocacy and service – and respond to the current intensification of xenophobia, racism, antisemitism, and other forms of bigotry. Relevant, reflective, and surprising, they bring fresh, new layers of meaning to the experience of museum goers. Visitors encounter them throughout the Museum, and each floor includes at least one large-scale work.
Several works from Horowitz’s We Fight to Build a Free World exhibition at New York’s The Jewish Museum, originally scheduled to open in March 2020, are also part of this exhibition. Horowitz created new work about voting rights for the exhibition and new editions of his signature pieces, Power and Pink Curve.
Jonathan Horowitz designed a series of installations for the Weitzman that include key works from his own oeuvre as well as significant works by other renowned artists across generations. In addition to Horowitz, featured artists include Adrian Piper, Ben Shahn, Tabboo!, Jenny Holzer, Elizabeth Catlett, Collier Schorr, Aya Brown, Malaquías Montoya, and Nicholas Galanin.
