A Year With Children

Presented by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum


Learning Through Art, the pioneering arts-education program of the Guggenheim Museum, presents 'A Year with Children 2012,' an exhibition that showcases selected artworks by New York City public-school students in grades two to six. These students participated in a yearlong artist-residency program that partners professional teaching artists with classroom teachers in each of the city's five boroughs to design collaborative projects that explore art and ideas related to the classroom curriculum. Approximately one hundred creative and imaginative works, including drawings, prints, photographs, sculptures, paintings, assemblage, and outdoor site-specific art, will be on display during this five-week installation.

Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920-1945

Presented by Japan Society Gallery


Showcasing the craftsmanship and sophisticated design associated with both Japan and Art Deco style, this exhibition is the first in the U.S. to explore a little-known brand of pre-WWII modernism borne of competitive ingenuity and vivacious cosmopolitanism. Curated by Dr. Kendall Brown, 'Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920-1945' subtly conveys the complex social and cultural tensions in Japan during the Taisho and early Showa periods through dramatically designed examples of metalwork, ceramics, lacquer, glass, furniture, jewelry, sculpture and evocative ephemera such as sheet music, posters, postcards, prints and photography. The vitality of the era is further expressed through the theme of the moga ("modern girl")--an emblem of contemporary urban chic that flowered briefly, along with the Art Deco style, in the 1920s and '30s.
