Description: Polly Apfelbaum: Split
Since the early 1990s, American artist Polly Apfelbaum has been absorbed by staining - pouring and dripping fabric dye onto cotton sheeting and synthetic velvet. By "blotting" the fabric, she creates organic, rather than gestural, fields and patterns of pure color. Reminiscent of stained canvases by many artists associated with Color Field painting, such as Dan Christensen, Helen Frankenthaler and Kenneth Noland, Apfelbaum's dyed fabrics often are installed on the wall, stacked neatly, or sprawled across the floor, and allude not only to painting and sculpture, but also to a myriad of categories in between: drawing, collage, tapestries, bed sheets and clothing.
Apfelbaum's "Split" (1998), from the Kemper Museum's permanent collection, is a litany of odd-shape swatches of crushed stretch velvet. Stained in alternating colors and individually arranged, each saturated segment bleeds into neighboring swatches, forming a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, and textures. Responding to the surrounding architecture, "Split" organically spreads over the gallery floor, visually disarming us with its colorful decorative motif.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art - Islamic Inspirations and Influences

Description: Islamic Inspirations and Influences
A fierce lion charging a man on horseback forms the center of a dynamic composition of a Persian hunting scene, rendered in plush velvet. Textiles such as this played an important cultural role in Islamic lands, signifying social status and wealth. Serving as domestic furnishings, clothing and even a portable type of shelter in the form of tents, elaborately designed fabrics were the basis of a highly developed trade industry that reached across Asia to Europe.
This exhibition displays silk and velvet textiles of Islamic lands, as well as those influenced by Islamic aesthetic traditions, spanning the 15th-17th centuries. Woven of sumptuous silk and embellished with threads wrapped with precious metals, these textiles were costly luxury goods.
Restricted to people of rank, a large panel of richly dyed red and gold velvet from the Ottoman Empire would have served as a cushion cover in an affluent home. Ottoman velvets were exported to Europe, where they great influence on the local textiles. Influenced by the Moors, Muslims from North Africa who invaded Spain, Hispano-Moresque textiles reflect Islamic aesthetics, including curvilinear arabesques, pairs of lions, intricate overall patterns of geometric forms and stylized foliage.

Description: Art on Paper: Highlights from the American Collection
For more than two centuries, American artists have created engaging art on paper using a rich array of media including graphite, charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, pastel, engraving, etching, woodcut and lithography.
For the first time, the Nelson-Atkins has dedicated a space to display works on paper from our collection of American art. Installations will rotate every six months in order to display the variety of the collection to visitors and to protect it from overexposure to damaging light.
This inaugural exhibition features highlights of the collection, including exceptional examples of portraiture, figure studies, illustrations, domestic and foreign landscapes, scenes of everyday life, and imaginative fantasies. In many instances, these highlights iluminate additional dimensions of American artists whose paintings are among the treasures of the Museum's newly reinstalled American collection.

Description: Decorative Designs, Decorative Landscapes and Still Life
Even famous artists like Abracht Durer in Germany were often called upon to make decorative designs for their wealthy patrons and did not always depict "high art" like Old and New Testaments scenes or historical or mythological subjects. Sometimes these involved deluxe versions of objects like plates and goblets, sometimes coats of arms or stained glass, sometimes even frontispieces to books or bookmarkers.
Decorative landscapes and still lives became increasingly popular for the furnishing of large mansions, both in town and country. If they included classical ruins, whether real or imaginary, this implied the patron was well travelled and sophisticated. Such landscapes were also used as backdrops in the theater, in which case they would usually be arranged in some form of perspective.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art - George Segal: Street Scenes

Description: George Segal: Street Scenes
"George Segal: Street Scenes" is the first exhibition of this renowned sculptor's work to focus on a single theme: the city. Segal loved New York and made frequent trips into the city from his home in South Brunswick, New Jersey, to explore gritty neighborhoods such as the Bowery and the Lower East Side. He walked the streets in search of inspiration and found in it neighborhoods where city life spilled out into the street, mixing immigrants, artists, musicians, the working class, and bohemians of all lifestyles. Segal's approach to art was unflinchingly realistic yet compassionate. The city and its inhabitants were his muses.
"Street Scenes" presents vignettes of daily life set in the urban environment. Cast from live models who were primarily family and friends, Segal's white, ghostly figures appear in stage-like settings made of materials scavenged from the real world. Segal's primary subject, the psychological complexity of ordinary people, is immediate and universal.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art - Inventing the Shuttlecocks

Admission: Free
Description: Inventing the Shuttlecocks
Today, "Shuttlecocks" is a beloved icon for The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and for Kansas City, but it wasn't always so. When the husband-and-wife artist team, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, installed it in the Museum's Kansas City Sculpture Park in 1994, "Shuttlecocks" created quite a stir. Letters from those who loved its bright, fresh form and welcomed its challenge to the status quo appeared in the local media along with articles, letters to the editor, editorial cartoons and new reports charging that it was "not art" and calling it a "giant waste."
The 15th anniversary exhibition of this remarkable work offers a rare opportunity to enter the artists' minds as they invented "Shuttlecocks." Assembled here are preparatory sketches, drawings, collages, and models that reveal Oldenburg's and van Bruggen's creative process - their sources of inspiration, their lively process of freely associating ideas and images, their sophisticated manipulation of concepts and forms, and their involvement with the work from inception to fabrication to installation.

Description: Dan Christensen: Forty Years of Painting
This survey of paintings by the late Dan Christensen (1942-2007) documents his never-ending quest to understand the possibilities of color, paint and pictoral space. Though long associated with the Color Field movement, Christensen's relentless experimentation with tools and techniques make him resistant to any one label or category but do place him among this country's most ambitious abstract and gestural painters. A native Nebraskan, Christensen was a 1964 graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute.

Description: "The Art of the Brick"
The Art of the Brick museum show is currently touring the U.S. It is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the use of the popular LEGO building block as an art medium and artist Nathan Sawaya takes it to new heights.
This New York-based artist is exhibiting more than thirty works created solely from standard LEGO bricks over the period 2002-2007 with several new ones created specifically for this exhibit. Nearly one million colorful LEGO pieces transformed into whimsical and awe-inspiring images are on display.
Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful, his devotion to spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child has played with into the status of art.
"These works are very personal to me, since they reflect my growth as an artist as I strove to discover my creative identity," said Sawaya. "The museum exhibit is accessible because it engages the child in all of us while simultaneously illuminating sophisticated and complex concepts."

Often casting herself, friends, or passersby in loosely choreographed roles, she uncovers the humor, absurdity, and, at time, beauty in the everyday.
Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in 1980, Warren received her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and has exhibited nationally and internationally, including shows at Higher Pictures, New York; Max Wigram Gallery, London; and David Castillo Gallery, Miami; among others.

Lyle Lovett is one of the most revered, distinctive and original musicians of his time. Over the course of his career, he has won four Grammy Awards. Though he was initially labeled as a country singer, the tag never quite fit him. Lovett had more in common with '70s singer/songwriters Guy Clark, Jesse Winchester, Randy Newman and Townes Van Zandt, combining a talent for incisive, witty lyrical detail with an eclectic array of music, ranging from country and folk to big-band swing and traditional pop.
The Texas-born singer/songwriter's appeal has lasted over two decades, thanks to cirtically acclaimed albums such as the Gold-certified "Lyle Lovett" (1986), "Pontiac" (1987) and "The Road to Ensenada" (1996).
