LOOK (AFTER KIRK MCCOY) | PATRICK MARTINEZ
THE 2021/22 SEASON at TMA
T
ucson Museum of Art and Historic Block (TMA) announces a new season featuring three major exhibitions: Olivier Mosset, Patrick Martinez: Look What You Created, and Brad Kahlhamer: 11:59 to Tucson. Permanent collection galleries have been refreshed to include highlights from TMA’s collection in areas including Modern, Contemporary and Latin American art, Art of the American West, Asian art and Indigenous Arts. Internationally renowned Swiss-born, Tucsonbased artist Olivier Mosset is known for his large-scale monochrome and shaped paintings that challenge the notion of modernist authority and painting as a historical object. Through works from the 1970s, 1990s, and 2000s, the artist engages viewers’ expectations about art and how they encounter it. Olivier Mosset runs October 14 - February 27.
In his first solo museum exhibition in the American Southwest, Los Angeles-based artist Patrick Martinez examines subjects including communities of color, discrimination, displacement, and accountability. His mixed media works invoke conversations about equity, empathy, humanity, and connection. Patrick Martinez: Look What You Created runs November 4 - April 24. Born to an Indigenous mother of unknown tribal origin and a white father, Brad Kahlhamer was adopted by a German-American family and to this day still does not know his full background. His works blend childhood memories, fantasies about the Southwest, and experiences as an illustrator and musician to express the urban experience and a longing for his Indigenous roots. Brad Kahlhamer: 11:59 to Tucson runs March 17 - September 25, 2022. Spend an afternoon in historic downtown Tucson with exhibitions, a one-of-a-kind Museum Store, and Café a la C’Art. Become a member today to enjoy all 2021/22 exhibitions and the permanent collection for just $5/month. For more information, visit TucsonMuseumofArt.org or call (520) 624-2333.
