IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. - The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York - 11/18/08 - 3/15/09 This exhibition will focus on the extraordinary art created as a result of a sophisticated network of interaction that developed among kings, diplomats, merchants, and others in the Near East during the second millennium B.C. Approximately 350 objects of the highest artistry from royal palaces, temples, and tombs—as well as from a unique shipwreck—will provide the visitor with an overview of artistic exchange and international connections throughout the period. From Syria, Mesopotamia, and Egypt in the south to Thrace, Anatolia, and the Caucasus in the north, and from regions as far west as mainland Greece all the way east to Iran, the great royal houses forged intense international relationships through the exchange of traded raw materials and goods as well as letters and diplomatic gifts. This unprecedented movement of precious materials, luxury goods, and people resulted in a total transformation of the visual arts throughout a vast territory that spanned the ancient Near East and the eastern Mediterranean. Because many of these works have either only recently been excavated or have never been shown abroad, Beyond Babylon is a singular opportunity for the public to experience the rich artistic and cultural traditions of this period. http://www.metmuseum.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe - Whitney Museum of American Art - 6/26 - 9/21 One of the great American visionaries of the twentieth century, R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) endeavored to see what he, a single individual, might do to benefit the largest segment of humanity while consuming the minimum of the earth's resources. Doing more with less was Fuller's credo. He described himself as a comprehensive anticipatory design scientist, setting forth to solve the escalating challenges that faced humanity before they became insurmountable. www.whitney.org

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Landscapes Clear and Radiant: The Art of Wang Hui (1632–1717) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York - 9/9/08 - 1/4/09 Galleries for Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 2nd floor, north wing Wang Hui, the most celebrated painter of late 17th-century China, played a key role in reinvigorating past traditions of landscape painting as well as in establishing the stylistic foundations for the imperially sponsored art of the Manchu Qing court. An artist of protean talent and immense artistic ambition, Wang developed an all-embracing synthesis of historical landscape styles that constituted one of the greatest innovations in the arts of late imperial China. The exhibition will feature 27 masterpieces by Wang Hui from the Taipei and Beijing Palace Museums, the Shanghai Museum, and several North American collections, including five outstanding works from the Metropolitan's permanent collection. These 27 paintings will be complemented by a selection of earlier landscapes from the Song (960–1279), Yuan (1279–1368), and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties, mostly drawn from the Museum’s holdings, that will highlight the sources of Wang Hui’s inspiration. The exhibition is made possible by The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation. The catalogue is made possible by the Joseph Hotung Fund and The Dillon Fund. http://www.metmuseum.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900 - San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - 10/11/08 - 1/4/09 This exhibition will explore the use of photography in 19th-century science, considering in particular the representation of phenomena invisible to the naked eye. Over the course of the 19th century, scientists—both amateur and professional—applied the camera to the microscope and telescope, photographing worlds both infinitesimally small and unimaginably large. The exhibition not only will include examples of these groundbreaking scientific experiments, but will investigate some of photography’s pseudo-scientific uses, including spirit photography, whose practitioners used the X-ray’s ability to picture invisible objects as a means of lending credence to their own claims of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena. Consisting of approximately 150 vintage photographs, many of which have never before been exhibited in the United States, the exhibition will include works made between 1839 and 1900 by both noted scientists and amateur experimenters. Catalogue. http://www.sfmoma.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Philadelphia Museum of Art - James Castle: A Retrospective - 10/14/08 - 1/4/09 James Castle: A Retrospective marks the first comprehensive museum exhibition of the work of James Castle (1899–1977), an artist from Idaho who, despite undergoing no formal or conventional training, is especially admired for the unique homemade quality combined with an acute visual sensibility that characterizes his work. By all accounts deaf since birth, and presumably never having learned much language, Castle turned his obsessive and constant production of drawn images into his primary mode of communication with what must often have seemed the strange and baffling world around him. This exhibition consists of some 275 drawings, color wash pieces, handmade books, and constructions selected from museums and private collections, including many from the holdings in Castle’s estate from Boise, Idaho. http://www.philamuseum.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926-1933 - Whitney Museum of American Art - 10/16/08 - 2/15/09 Alexander Calder is one of the most beloved, important, and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century. A highly focused historical show with the spirit of a young artist’s first retrospective, Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926–1933 explores a time when, from the ages of 27 to 34, Calder created his first wire drawings in space, performed his Circus (made in Paris 1926–31 and part of the Whitney’s permanent collection), and invented his signature mobiles. http://www.whitney.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949 - The Jewish Museum New York - 11/9/08 - 3/22/09 The Jewish Museum is organizing the first exhibition devoted to the extraordinary artwork created for Russian Jewish theater productions in the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibition will bring to light a remarkable period in the early years of the Soviet Union when innovative visual artists, including Marc Chagall, Natan Altman, and Robert Falk joined forces with avant-garde playwrights, actors, and theatrical producers to create a theater experience with extraordinary mass appeal. Through paintings, costume and set designs, posters, photographs, film clips and theater ephemera – many of which have never been exhibited before- Chagall and the Artists of the Russian Jewish Theater, 1919-1949 will capture an exhilarating but fleeting moment in the cultural history of the Soviet Union. http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | LACMA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art - Hearst the Collector - 11/9/08 - 2/1/09 William Randolph Hearst (1860–1951) was one of the most influential forces in the history of American journalism. Mercilessly caricatured in Citizen Kane, Hearst in reality was a populist multimillionaire who crusaded against political corruption. He fostered simultaneous excellence and sensationalism in reporting, transformed the graphic design of newspapers, and was in the vanguard of the development of newsreels. Hearst also became a conspicuous movie producer, a voracious collector, and an outstanding benefactor of the early Los Angeles County Museum. http://www.lacma.org/

IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | Around Boulder City - Boulder City Hoover Dam Museum The original planners of Boulder City, Nevada, did not expect that the community of workers and engineers would outlast the construction of the great Hoover Dam. The subsequent years challenged this assumption, however, as Boulder City continued to grow and thrive even after the dam was completed and the waters of the Colorado River were harnessed. As more families took road trips to visit the dam and other southwestern attractions, Boulder City became a tourism hub. Shops, restaurants, and hotels, including the famous Boulder Dam Hotel, were built, and even more visitors flocked to the nearby Lake Mead National Recreation Area after its establishment in 1964. Elton M. Garrett aptly described the city in the masthead of his newspaper, the Boulder Dam Challenge, in 1936: Boulder City Carries On With Spirit With Which Boulder Dam Challenged Rio Colorado. http://www.bcmha.org/ IOnOne LIVE magazine | August 2008 | The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco - The Persian World and West Asia The Persian World and West Asia (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) Ceramics from the Neolithic period to the 19th century, Luristan and Islamic bronzes, miniature paintings and manuscripts.
