The funded exhibition "Overexposed: Art, Technology, and the Body," now on view at the Museum of the Moving Image, brings together research-based and educational films with contemporary artworks by 16 American and international artists to examine the historical, medical, and sociopolitical implications of seeing inside the body.⁠
⁠
The advent of cinema in the late 19th century allowed artists and scientists to record motion for the first time. Developed concurrently, X-ray technology extended vision beneath the skin, allowing people to view the body’s interior. Together, these tools produced spectacular new images that shaped modern conceptions of the body. ⁠
⁠
The Foundation supports this exhibition for considering complex notions of individuality, agency, and privacy.⁠⁠

The funded exhibition "Into the Time Horizon," on view at the Nevada Art Museum, is a groundbreaking multi-year exhibition that occupies every gallery and public space simultaneously, inviting visitors to imagine a future in which humanity interacts with our planet ethically, responsibly and with care.⁠
⁠
It is broken into seven sections, including "Interspecies Relationships" whichs features works that invite us to reflect on our interdependence on a multitude of animate and inanimate matter, including galaxies, insects, cephalopods, beavers, minerals, plant life, and forests.
⁠
The Foundation supports "Into the Time Horizon" for bringing together a group of artists who are calling for ethically responsible practices—artistic, institutional, and everyday—to ensure the survival of life on this planet.⁠⁠

“Looking at store windows is great entertainment because. You can see all the things and be really glad it’s not home filling up your closet and drawers.”—Andy Warhol, America.

Currently on view at the Columbia Museum of Art is the funded exhibition “Rodney McMilian: A Son of Soil,” spanning the artist's extensive practice of painting, sculpture, video, and installation.

Included in the exhibition is “Untitled (The Supreme Court Painting)”, 2004-06, which highlights the artist’s acute synthesis of art history and politics. Created using modernist methods of pours and drips, with this work McMillian asks viewers, as the exhibition’s curator Michael Neumeister states, “to look and look again, at the ideology of a nation, and to observe it in play everywhere: in the home, in the South, in art, in national politics, and even in our minds.”

The Foundation supports this exhibition for presenting the work of an influential artist with close ties to South Carolina and whose practice delivers a powerful social critique shaped by deep engagement with history and politics.⁠
1. & 2. Untitled (The Supreme Court Painting), 2004-2006. Poured acrylic on cut canvas. 216 x 216 in.

In 1974-75, Warhol embarked on one of his most ambitious commissions of the 1970s: portraits of transgender models, named the Ladies and Gentlemen series.
Commissioned by the Italian dealer Luciano Anselmino (who also came up with the title in 1975), the entire project consists of nearly 270 paintings, approximately 65 drawings and collages, and a portfolio edition of 10 prints. Fourteen transgender models posed for Warhol, including Vicki Peters, who Warhol used to make several drawings and a print, but no paintings. Warhol took 35 Polaroids of Peters during her sitting at 860 Broadway on January 31, 1975, including seven half-length poses, shot on square format Polaroid film. While little is known about her biography, she signed six of her Polaroids taken by Warhol “Vicki,” and signed the photo release for image usage that day “Vicki Peters.” Of the sittings for the series, Vincent Fremont remembers that they were “low key and everyone had a good time.” The models for the Ladies and Gentlemen project were recruited by Bob Colacello, Ronnie Cutrone, and Corey Tippin, although it is not clear who found Peters.

Now on view is the funded 59th Carnegie Internationa entiteld, "If The Word We”. The exhibition considers the first-person plural as an open and evolving proposition, one shaped by listening, translation, and transformation, bringing together artistic practices that engage shared experience, circulation, and worlds in transition. Across a wide range of media, from painting, photography, and sculpture, to installation, video, performance, and theater, participating artists traverse cultural, political, intellectual, and spiritual geographies that extend beyond national boundaries.
⁠
The Foundation supports this exhibition for highlighting the concept “we”, not as a unified subject but as a complex and porous position, attentive to contradiction and change. ⁠

Now on view at the California Museum of African American Art is the funded exhibition "Willie Birch: Stories to Tell," first-ever career retrospective that brings together groundbreaking works from 1968 to the present, chronicling his unique vision of Black American life and the interconnected nature of global art forms. Throughout his career, Birch has explored particularly how African traditions have been retained in music, art, and culture in America as part of the Black experience and beyond.

Co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Foundation supports this exhibition for highlighting the work of an artist who questions why certain things are retained and others not, unearthing uncomfortable truths about American identity, but also offering possibilities for greater cultural awareness, aesthetic innovation, and expansiveness in the stories we tell.

The funded exhibition “Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night, ” Now on view at the Walker Art Center, highlights the works of Christine Sun Kim that engage sound and the complexities of communication in its various modes through sharp wit and incisive commentary. Using musical notation, infographics, and language—both in her native American Sign Language (ASL) and written English—she has produced drawings, videos, sculptures, and installations that explore the non-auditory, political dimensions of sound. In many works, Kim draws directly on the spatial dynamism of ASL, translating it into graphic form. By emphasizing images, the body, and physical space, she upends the societal assumption that spoken languages are superior to those that are signed. ⁠
⁠
Organized by the WhitneyMuseum and the Walker Art Center, the Foundation supports this exhibition for highlighting a pioneering artist whose critically minded practice explores the personal and social complexities of the Deaf experience.⁠⁠

on view at the Mississippi Museum of Art is the funded exhibition "Coulter Fussell: The Proving Ground" first museum survey of “quilt-works” by Mississippi-based artist. Presenting over forty sewn collages created over the past five years, the exhibition reveals the trajectory of Fussell’s practice from traditional quilting formats to increasingly sculptural, mixed-media works that incorporate upholstery techniques, photography, and digital projection. ⁠
⁠
From the flat, negative space of decorative patterns to photographic plays on perspective, her art explores the perceptual, geographic, and cultural “grounds” that frame our experience and shape what we believe. ⁠
⁠
The Foundation supports this exhibition for highlighting the work of an artist who relays the complexities and contradictions of place testing what we think we know about the physical and figurative landscapes that situate our lives and memories.⁠⁠
1. Coulter Fussell, Trials of the Earth, 2025. Cellphone video screenshot printed on chiffon, neon polyester, upholstery foam, cotton batting, and thread on panel, 69 x 60 x 5 inches.
