Outbound
Outbound: Passages from the 90's presents ten seminal works of art that have particularly resonated across the last decade: Janine Antony's Swoon (1997), Matthew Barney's The Ehrich Weiss State (1997), Cai Guo-Qiang's The Dragon has Arrived (1997), Robert Gober's Untitled (1997), Ann Hamilton's (bearings) (1996), Jim Hodges' You (1997), William Kentridge's History of the Main Complaint (1996), Rick Lowe and Deborah Grotfeldt's Sharing the Wealth (1999-2000), Shirin Neshat's Rapture (1999) and Fred Wilson's Guarded View. Selected by the exhibition curators with the idea of sharing ten works that, like passages from a journal, reflect their most memorable encounters with art of the 1990s, these works provide a view of the art of these past ten years. The works presented here are characterized by a rigorous intelligence, a rewarding sensuality, and a sincere engagement with social, political, and spiritual issues -- and they resound with the kind of material, physical, technological, and narrative sophistication of truly great art. Featuring full-color reproductions and perceptive essays, Outbound also includes an illustrated fifty-page timeline of the 90s.

Alexis Rockman
"At the invitation of the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM), in 2013, Alexis Rockman began research for the Great Lakes Cycle, an ambitious suite of paintings and works on paper that the artist created over the course of four years. It will debut in Grand Rapids in 2018 and tour throughout the Great Lakes region"--introduction.
Cai Guo-Qiang
Cai Guo-Qiang is one of the most important Chinese artists to have emerged internationally in the 1990s. Best known for his spectacular firework projects at locations ranging from museum entrances to the sites of land art works such as Robert Smithson's Sprial Jetty, Cai has explored a diversity of media and artforms. These have included works such as an extension to the Great Wall of China, designed to be seen from outer space by extraterrestrial beings; feng shui arrangements of private living spaces both in Japn and New York; participatory projects with kites, jacuzzis and mini golf courses, and sculptures constructed from melted-down cars or abandoned boats. His projects are strongly influenced by their location and the works are frequently altered or developed as they are exhibited at new sites. Unifying Cai's wide-ranging work is his consistent investigation of humanity's place within the universe.
Mary Lee Bendolph, Gee's Bend Quilts, and Beyond
Mary Lee Bendolph's extraordinary patchworks garnered national attention when they were featured among the works of other quiltmakers from her tiny, predominately African American community in the 2002 blockbuster exhibition and book,The Quilts of Gee's Bend. This beautiful book examines Bendolph's inspiration, creative process, and individual genius, as well as her profound connection to the cultural practices and expressive traditions out of which her work arises. It studies her artistic relationships with other artists -- her mother, Aolar Mosely; her daughter, Essie Bendolph Pettway; her daughter-in-law Louisiana P. Bendolph; and two self-taught Alabama artists, Lonnie Holley and Thornton Dial. Bendolph's conception of herself as an artist is intimately connected to all of these aesthetic relationships, which together provide contexts for understanding the full scope and power of her work. As they intersect in Bendolph's life and art, these deep social and aesthetic networks give rise to new pathways of artistic influence and exchange, to a body of work that is a powerful mixture of communal and individual creative energies.
