Scanning the horizon just beyond July 4th, our Weekend Arts Planner is a declaration of independents: groundbreaking Cindy Sherman images on view at Hauser & Wirth, and singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins playing a free show in Wagner Park on Thursday evening.
Cindy Sherman, Untitled Film Still ©Cindy ShermanThe Fourth of July is on practically everybody's mind this weekend, but there's still a lot more to look forward to in the week ahead. Keeping with the spirit of independence for just a moment, now is an amazing opportunity to catch new shows devoted to two of the more strikingly original women artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
An exhibition devoted to the iconic slogan-based work of Barbara Kruger just opened at David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea. I've not seen it yet myself, but we've just published anterrific show focusing on the early work of Cindy Sherman , a New Jersey-born, New York-based artist whose work in photography opened up new possibilities of messaging, narrative, and identity in the medium. This one I have seen, and it's quietly sensational.
"Cindy Sherman: 1977-1982" concentrates on images from a period in which Sherman had just begun to cause a stir with self-portraits that used the storytelling language of Hollywood film — she's not recreating specific film shots in her groundbreaking "Untitled Film Stills" series, but her use of scenery, costumes, and props akin to what you might see in 1950s and '60s Hollywood B-movies and European art films gives a viewer the chance to figure out their own stories.
This show marks the first time the entire "Untitled Film Stills" series has been shown complete in a decade, and it also includes some of Sherman's subsequent developments in her "Rear Screen Projections" and "Centerfolds" series. It's a rich, concentrated experience — and a real declaration of independence.Nicole Atkins finally gets to tour properly behind her last two studio albums, including a free show at Wagner Park.
