Description: Coming of Age in Johnson County
Hours:
Tuesday-Saturday: 10AM-4:30PM
Sunday: 1PM-4:30PM
From the optimism of the early 1960s to the American Bicentennial in 1976, the Johnson County Museum's current explores the national trends and local issues that make this era so intriguing. In 1960, John F. Kennedy announced that the United States was at the edge of a new frontier. Rather than a territorial frontier, the nation faced the uncharted terrain of changing societal expectations, a new political climate, and unprecedented prominence on the world stage. The times demand new invention, innovation, imagination, decision," he declared, and he went on to challenge every American to be a pioneer on that New Frontier.
For Johnson County, the suburbs were the new frontier. The post World War II building boom created a sudden influx of young families - and dramatically altered the way of life in Johnson County. Although the county had long been known for its folksy farming reputation, by 1960 the vast majority of county residents -- 93% -- lived in the newer northeast suburbs. This shift in identity - and the phenomenal population growth that prompted it - presented Johnson County with challenges that, as John F. Kennedy predicted, would demand imagination and decision. Coming of Age in Johnson County: 1960-1976 explores the county's efforts to reshape itself to meet the demands of modern life - and the high expectations of its citizens.
This exhibit also highlights a number of county residents whose contributions to public life - from fighting the injustice of racial discrimination to proving that a woman's place was not only in the home, but anywhere she wanted to be - made Johnson County a better place to live.

Description: War and Suffering
Hours:
Sunday, Tuesday & Wednesday: 10AM-5PM
Thursday-Saturday: 10AM-9PM
Death and destruction, heroism and honor - the twin faces of war are explored in this exhibition of 19th and early 20th century European prints and drawings in Gallery P27. A selection of military portrait miniatures is included.
During the Napoleonic wars of the 19th century, artists focused on images of glorification. Spectacles of dashing men in military uniforms and dramatic poses dominated. Artists of the early 20th century, many of whom were former soldiers, addressed the subject of war in a radically different manner. Their nightmarish images reveal its shocking reality.

Description: Deb Sokolow's "You are one step closer to learning the truth"
Hours:
Tuesday-Thursday: 10AM-4PM
Friday-Saturday: 10AM-9PM
Sunday: 11AM-5PM
Deb Sokolow's elaborate diagrammatic drawings read like graphic novels. Often constructed with pen, pencil, watercolor, and correction fluid on paper, each drawing's story features diagrams, floor plans, texts, and illustrations that chart an anonymous, paranoid narrator's obsessive explorations of the circumstances and clandestine connections among various characters and places. For the Kemper Museum, Sokolow works directly on the gallery wall to construct a new storyline based on an amateur detective's attempts to unravel a mystery involving barbecue sauce, food critics, condiment espionage, and Kansas City's SubTropolis. Written in the second-person and following the narrative structure of a Choose Your Own Adventure - a popular series of children's books - viewers assume the role of the central character and determine the fate of the inquisitive detective.

Hours:

Thursday-Saturday: 10AM-9PM
A single thread can make a stitch.

This exhibition showcases silk and linen fragments spanning the 15th-17th centuries, a period of expanded exploration and trade, when Italy and Spain emerged as major centers of textile production. During this era, textiles with three-dimensional effects became popular within the Christian church and the secular world.

Hours:
Tuesday-Thursday: 10AM-4PM
Friday-Saturday: 10AM-9PM
Sunday: 11AM-5PM
Stephen Shore's documentary-style photographs color the familiar and the everyday with a personalized and almost diaristic aesthetic, imbuing the banal with a striking sense of humanity. This exhibition includes Shore's celebrated series "Uncommon Places," documenting America of the later 1960s and early 1970s. The American vernacular emerges through Shore's images of parking lots, apartment buildings, crossroads, motel rooms, and restaurants in large cities and desolate byways. In total, the exhibition showcases more than 150 color-infused images taken by one of the most influential American photographers (at age 23, Shore had a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only the second living photographer to do so). Aperture, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, has organzied his traveling exhibition and produced the accompanying publications.

Description: Julia Oschatz
Julia Oschatz's current oeuvre, consisting of video, paintings, drawings, prints, and room-size installations, centers on the eternal odyssey of Wesen (German for "being" or "essence") - the fictitious protagonist of the artist's constructed worlds. Part animal and part human, this wayward being stars in short, looping videos comprised of performance, animation, and painted imagery, and in the German artist's intimate and muted landscape paintings. Whether disco dancing to German pop music or rendered in deep contemplation in an Asian-inspired landscape, Oschatz's benign and somewhat comical character evokes the existential quest for meaning intrinsic to the human condition.

Description: Neil Simon's Rumors
by Neil Simon
To call John "a man of many talents" is to utter the understatement of the year. He has made a very successful career out of excelling in just about every form of entertainment there is. From Broadway to TV to movies and a dozen or so solo albums, John's talents prove him to be much more than just an incredibly nice, handsome man.
Neil Simon is the king of Broadway comedies and RUMORS is one of his funniest! Things spin desperately out of control when several affluent couples gather for a posh dinner party celebrating their hosts' tenth anniversary. When they arrive, they discover there are no servants, no food, no hostess, and the host (the deputy mayor of New York City), has shot himself through the earlobe. Comic complications arise when, given everyone's upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening's events from the local police and the media.
"Not only side splitting, but front and back splitting."
