Mural Unveiled--The New York City MTA Arts for Transit program has saluted artist Jacob Lawrence with the unveiling of his New York In Transit glass mosaic mural at the Times Square subway station. This was scheduled to coincide with the Whitney Museum's opening of the most extensive retrospective of Lawrence's work ever presented, on view through February 3rd. The 6' x 36' mural is the centerpiece of the new elliptical BMT mezzanine at 42nd Street.
Awards Given--The International Association of Art Critics/USA has honored The Japan Society for the best museum show originating in New York: Yes, Yoko Ono. The William Kentridge exhibition was chosen as the best museum show originating outside New York City.
Museum Project Progresses--Work continues on renovations to the 300,000 square foot building on the Hudson River in Beacon, NY, that will become home to the Dia Center for the Arts in spring of 2003. Among the 16 artists who will have works featured, Robert Irwin has designed an area in the parking lot where nearly 100 cherry blossom and crab apple trees will be planted as part of a sculpture.
Design Winners Announced--The San Francisco MOMA Experimental Design Award inaugural winners include Thom Faulders, Donald Fortescue and Post Tool Design. All three winners build on a tradition of craft and exhibit a strong knowledge of the material native to their discipline--whether wood, typography and 2-dimensional composition or constituent elements of the build environment. The exhibition is on view through February 5.
Foundation to the Rescue--The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has established a $50 million fund for museums, theaters, dance companies and other cultural institutions that have suffered as a result of terrorist attacks. Both large and small institutions are eligible, and public parks where crowds congregated afterward will also benefit from the fund.
New Gallery/Exhibit Opens--A new permanent exhibition has opened at the New York State Museum in Albany. Windows on New York encompasses 25,000 square feet and is devoted to popular culture, history, science and art and showcases the fully restored New York State Museum Carousel. Within the new gallery is the World Trade Center Memorial, featuring two tower forms suspended in two 20-ft.-high windows made up of more than 4,000 small bronzed squares--each representing an individual lost at the World Trade Center.
