An unconventional artist who has been at the center of the Berlin art scene for nearly three decades (she used to be married to Gerhard Richter), Genzken —
whose aesthetic approach might be best expressed by the title of her 2000 series «Fuck the Bauhaus» — is now about to hit New York like an ore - rich meteorite with the opening of her giant new retrospective at MoMA.
Featuring Theaster Gates,
whose recent exhibition A Johnson Publishing Story at the Rebuild Foundation explores the enduring role of Ebony and Jet magazines in defining and popularizing a black
aesthetic and identity around the globe; Corinne Granof and Amy Beste on the work of Goldsholl and Associates,
whose films, television ads, and other moving image work innovated «designs - in - film» influenced by László Moholy - Nagy and the Bauhaus
approach; and historian Lara Allison, speaking on the seminal legacy of the Great Ideas campaign by the Container Corporation from 1950 — 80.
