Director’s Message The Year in Pictures Exceptional Artistry Research and Education Outreach and Engagement Wexner Center Programs 2012–13 Thanks to You—Our Donors Wexner Center Staff and Volunteers

A snapshot of life at the Wex: patrons and artists alike linked hundreds of photos (and memories) to our Instagram account.

Director’s Message

On December 30, 2012, capacity crowds filled the galleries of the Wexner Center—and at several points during that clear but chilly day, hundreds were lined up outside—for what would be their last chance to see a landmark exhibition of Annie Leibovitz’s work.

Witnessing that moment was enormously gratifying to all of us at the Wex—just one of many memorable milestones that accompanied the first-ever public presentation of the photographer’s complete Master Set of astonishing portraits, on view alongside a recent series of elegiac (though faceless) portraits of place entitled Pilgrimage. Whether trailing the artist as she generously led Ohio State students through the galleries, listening as she shared reminiscences with Rolling Stone founder and publisher Jann S. Wenner amidst a jam-packed Mershon Auditorium, or witnessing the genuine humility with which she accepted the Wexner Prize (noting that the one memento she had kept from her late father’s vast toolshed was a hammer!), I found myself marveling again and again at the seemingly insatiable appetite with which audiences from near and far had devoured this exhibition, making the Wex a true destination point throughout its run.

Annie’s singular images of the major figures and forces that have shaped our common history over four decades in turn conjured countless individual and idiosyncratic memories for virtually every visitor to our galleries. Those profound moments of discovery, realization, and connection summon the kind of “aha” experience that we at the Wex aspire to offer our visitors—the startling creative and intellectual spark that fuels curiosity and, hopefully, spawns further engagement. Though it may take months, even years, for example, to orchestrate a public conversation between Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group and CEO of Fiat, and John C Jay, global creative director for the ad agency Wieden+Kennedy, the authentic, unscripted exchange that ensues when such creative masterminds meet for the first time is inspiring—and always worthwhile.

Equally powerful was the electrifying current between lifelong entertainer and social activist Harry Belafonte and the much younger Ohio State Law Professor and nationally acclaimed author Michelle Alexander. They too were brought together for the first time by the Wexner Center to offer further context around our screening of the documentary Sing Your Song, a chronicle of Belafonte’s brave and uncompromising pursuit of racial justice and equality that began in the 1950s. Their remarkable conversation highlighted Mr. Belafonte’s surpassing moral authority and indomitable spirit, alongside Ms. Alexander’s brilliant and commanding intellect. Moreover, it revealed, to virtually everyone’s surprise, the uncanny intersection in their mutual (and fierce) commitment to expose and remedy the disproportionate incarceration of young African American men in this country today.

The ability to bring leading artists, creative innovators, and social change agents together is one of the primary pleasures and privileges of life at an institution devoted to contemporary culture. Sharing those encounters with campus and community is our raison d’etre, and we derive great satisfaction from bringing the best and brightest here—to Columbus, Ohio—where a growing appetite for social, cultural, and educational advancement is everywhere evident.

In that spirit and true to our mission, in 2012–13 the Wex assembled a bold array of exhibitions, performances, screenings, and public events, providing audiences an open and lively creative forum. Following the Leibovitz exhibition in the fall, Columbus counted down the minutes until the Midwest debut of Christian Marclay’s international sensation The Clock. On view from late January through early April, the exhibition included several overnight screenings of the complete 24-hour video-based work. We were thrilled to welcome Marclay back to Columbus, where he had created a new commissioned work for the Wexner Center’s inaugural year (1989–90), coincidentally also entitled the The Clock!

In adjacent galleries former Wexner Center residency artist Josiah McElheny continued his exploration of modernist utopias with the exhibition Towards a Light Club. Organized by Wex Curator at Large Bill Horrigan, the exhibition featured McElheny’s film The Light Club of Vizcaya: A Women’s Picture, newly postproduced in our Film/Video Studio, as well as the artist’s exquisite glass sculptures and meticulously conceived and crafted projection screens—all of which illuminated his ongoing fascination with early 20thcentury design as it reflected and refracted modernism’s

inclination toward abstraction. Taking advantage of their simultaneous exhibitions, this year’s Lambert Family Lecture paired McElheny and Marclay, who conducted a lively conversation about their dizzying array of influences, finding intriguing parallels and intersections between their two practices. To further complement the McElheny exhibition, the center produced a striking catalogue to accompany the show with essays by Horrigan, Ohio State colleagues Lisa Florman and Kris Paulsen (both History of Art), Richard Fletcher (Department of Classics), and Amanda Gluibizzi (Fine Arts Library).

Throughout the season, theatergoers in search of utterly unique experiences found them at the Wex: from National Theatre of Scotland’s rollicking The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, presented in a pub-like setting complete with bar service, to Palissimo’s enigmatic and epic The Painted Bird Trilogy, a Wexner Center Artist Residency Award project integrating dance, video, and literary components. Music fans sampled globally influenced jazz by the Christian Howes Quartet with Richard Galliano and by Rudresh Mahanthappa, and

welcomed up-and-coming indie-rock acts Julia Holter and Jukebox the Ghost, as well as such stadium-stars as My Morning Jacket and The National (the latter shows benefitting Wex programs and CD 102.5 for the Kids).

Cinephiles were treated to celebrations of film history, including the remarkable and rarely seen A Tribute to the Nicholas Brothers and a 14-film series devoted to Marilyn Monroe: The Actress. Visiting filmmakers included The Quay Brothers (whose visit here led to an upcoming residency project), William E. Jones (who produced a box-set DVD of his 1991 classic Massillon with Wex assistance), and Natalia Almada (announced as a MacArthur Fellow days after her visit)—all introducing and talking about their work. The Wex also offered dazzling Columbus debuts of such films as Beasts of the Southern Wild. And our newly upgraded projection booth, now boasting a high-resolution 4K digital projector in addition to our 16, 35, and 70mm film projectors, allowed for absolutely gorgeous screenings of the newly restored Lawrence of Arabia by David Lean in 4K and Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master in 70mm—the only such presentations of those films in the region.

Also unique to the area was our presentation of Sam Green’s The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller, a “live documentary” that set Green’s narration and a performance by legendary alt-rock band Yo La Tengo to images of Fuller’s notes, letters, blueprints, photographs, films, and ephemera, which unfolded onscreen.

Visitors to our galleries in spring encountered Shimon Attie’s immersive, multichannel video installation MetroPAL.IS as well as the multilayered paintings, drawings, and films of Paul Sietsema, whose most comprehensive exhibition to date was organized by the Wex. Both exhibitions featured works created under the auspices of the Wexner Center Artist Residency program.

Similarly, an interconnecting set of creative projects unfurled this season around residency award recipient and Ohio State dance professor Bebe Miller, and it was fantastic to watch the sustained work fueled by our support come to such impressive fruition. In September, Miller’s company premiered the dance theater work A History, which in turn draws from a decade of dance pieces supported by the Wexner Center. Complementing the performance, Wex Marketing and Communications Director Jerry Dannemiller organized the exhibition Bebe Miller: Tracing History, which was presented downtown at Ohio State’s Urban Arts Space. We’re thrilled that the performance A History will travel to eight additional venues across the country, accompanied by a version of the exhibition.

While we’re widely known as an artist-centric institution that actively invests in the creation of new work by artists in all disciplines, it should also be noted that the Wex can itself be an engine for creative thinking and research. Since its announcement in February 2011, the Wexner Center’s Via Brasil project—a multidisciplinary, four-year-long initiative focusing on the vibrant visual and media culture of Brazil—has taken impressive shape. Wex curators Bill Horrigan, Jennifer Lange, and Chris Stults have crisscrossed the country, traveling to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife, and Belo Horizonte to meet with artists, curators, critics, and other colleagues. Over the 2012–13 season, the center presented films by visiting directors Kleber Mendonça Filho, Walter Salles, and Nelson Pereira dos Santos— each of whom travelled to the Wex and appeared in conversation with our Film/Video curators. We also showed videos by Pablo Lobato and Eder Santos in The Box and presented a concert by São Paulo Underground.

And in the coming season, Via Brasil will activate every dimension of the center while also propelling Latin American–infused curricula and initiatives throughout

the university—all thanks to a generous grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

In 2012–13, as always, the Wex orchestrated a plethora of diverse programs and events designed to engage audiences of all ages, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic strata. Conceived to fill a recognized community need, ongoing programs such as PAGES, with its literacy focus, or Art & Environment, which draws compelling connections between creative production and ecological sustainability, continue to provide valuable, even life-changing experiences to area teens.

So too, the new community partnership called Surge Columbus, a consortium including the Wexner Center, COSI, the Columbus Museum of Art, WOSU, and the Columbus Metropolitan Library, aims to create greater engagement and opportunity for local high-school students. In a lighter vein are those education programs designed simply to delight, as with the zany sci-fi comic book bought to life, The Intergalactic Nemesis, or the centerpiece of this past year’s Zoom Family Film Festival, Castles in the Sky—a series of visually sumptuous animations from Studio Ghibli, the “Disney of Japan.”

And of course, the Wex can be relied on to offer a fresh take on a topic of community interest, as we did by facilitating the Narrative Medicine film series, which united two dozen cosponsors from across the university to examine the benefits of bringing the art of storytelling to the science of medical practice.

If there is an overarching theme that comes to mind in looking back at our 2012–13 season, it is likely to be found in these illuminating connections and convergences between local and global, town and gown, the sobering and the sublime. In the pages that follow, you will encounter (and hopefully recollect) an abundance of occasions when creative sparks flew at the Wex, igniting imagination and rewarding cultural curiosity. We relish our role in helping to make Columbus a smart, open, and distinctive place to live, learn, work, and play. We gratefully recognize the generous spirit and remarkable resources extended to the Wexner Center year-round by our trustees, university leaders, patrons, members, and volunteers as we strive to make a real difference—for artists, arts aficionados, and occasional visitors alike.

Exceptional Artistry

“Leibovitz is the eyes of the modern era.”

—COLUMBUS DISPATCH

“A photographer who still astounds us.”

—VOGUE

The Wexner Center is the region’s leading destination for contemporary art, bringing world-class visual art, film, dance, theater, and music into focus for audiences near and far.

Annie Leibovitz—an exhibition that included the photographer’s Master Set, featuring some of the most iconic portraits of our time—filled the galleries throughout the fall. Whether it was during opening weekend events, student tours, or any given weekend, throngs of visitors came to the Wex for what turned out to be “the cultural event of the season” (Alive).

Later in November, Leibovitz (opposite page, top) accepted the 15th Wexner Center Prize in a ceremony marked by memorable words from Limited Brands Chairman and CEO Leslie H. Wexner, then Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee, and Wex Director Sherri Geldin.

Major Wexner Center supporters and guests were invited to a celebratory dinner and reception for Leibovitz and Wenner hosted

by Leslie and Abigail Wexner (pictured at left).

Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient Josiah McElheny (2004–06) continued his exploration of modernist utopias with Towards a Light Club. The exhibition featured McElheny-designed projection screens and viewing rooms, architecture-inspired glass sculptures, and the film The Light Club of Vizcaya: A Women’s Picture, postproduced in our Film/Video Studio. Students from Ohio State’s Department of Dance animated McElheny’s Walking Mirror sculptures in our galleries.

McElheny is pictured below in the far lower right image with Ohio State’s Lisa Florman (History of Art), who contributed to the exhibition’s catalogue, and David Weinberg (Astronomy), who collaborated with the artist on his residency project An End to Modernity (2005).

“This is important work. Make time to see it.”

—COLUMBUS UNDERGROUND ON THE CLOCK

Making its Midwest debut in our galleries, Christian Marclay’s The Clock is a 24-hour video work that literally tells the time. Dazzling in its virtuosity and deemed the “most iconic artwork of the last five years” (ARTINFO), The Clock features thousands of movie scenes depicting timepieces that are seamlessly spliced together and synchronized to local time. The Wex offered several opportunities to view the work in its complete duration.

Famed artist and architect Maya Lin returned to reinstall Groundswell, the center’s first permanent installation, which she created in 1993 as a Wexner Center Artist Residency Award project. In January, the artist worked with Wex preparators to remove, sift, and clean the work’s 43 tons of shattered recycled safety glass. Lin then returned in April to deliver an engaging Artist’s Talk to a packed Mershon Auditorium.

“Kudos to the Wexner Center for the Arts for bringing to town one of the most amazing troupes in its 23-year history. The show is one of the most inspired I’ve ever seen.”

—COLUMBUS DISPATCH ON NATIONAL THEATRE OF SCOTL AND

The center’s performing arts line-up entertained audiences with a truly inspired range of events: from National Theatre of Scotland’s rollicking, interactive The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart to Faye Driscoll’s You’re Me, a compelling look at the push and pull of human relationships co-commissioned by the Wex.

The Animals and Children Took to the Streets, a darkly charming production by British theater ensemble 1927, transported audiences to the dystopian netherworld of the Bayou through a blend of song, stage action, and stunning projected animation.

Bringing together artists and rhythms from around the world, the Wex invited local audiences to explore vital threads in global (and globally influenced) jazz with performances by Columbus’s Christian Howes Quartet, here with French accordion ace Richard Galliano; alto sax master Rudresh Mahanthappa (far right); and São Paulo Underground (below), just to name a few of the acts that graced our stages.

“@wexarts, in case you were wondering what the top coolest thing to happen ever was.”

—@DAVID_ACTUALLY VIA TWIT TER

Our popular Next@Wex series continued to celebrate established and up-and-coming voices in independent music with performances by (from top) Dirty Projectors, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Rodriguez, The Tallest Man on Earth, Tinariwen, and Jukebox the Ghost.

“Just bawled my eyes out during the screening of Beasts of the Southern Wild @wexarts.

First. Time. Director.”

—JPOLEON VIA TWIT TER

A sold-out crowd of Wex members experienced the multiple-award-winning Beasts of the Southern Wild before the film opened nationwide. Benh Zeitlin’s directorial debut took the 2012 Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and the Caméra d’Or prize for best first film at Cannes.

“Are you ready for the Brothers Quay at @wexarts tonight? I know I am.”

—THE INDIE HANDBOOK VIA TWIT TER

Though we’ve screened their films for years, the Wex finally welcomed the Quay Brothers, who introduced Through the Weeping Glass (2011) and took part in a conversation with Film/Video Director Dave Filipi that covered their influential career. Artist Residency Award recipients for 2013–14, the Quays are returning to complete and premiere their latest film Mistaken Hands in November 2013.

The Wex was one of a few US venues (and the only in Ohio) to present Sam Green’s The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller, a stunning “live documentary” featuring narration by Green and a score performed by legendary indie band Yo La Tengo (pictured with Green in inset).

Wex audiences thrilled to show-stopping routines by two of the 20th century’s greatest dancers—Fayard and Harold Nicholas—in A Tribute to the Nicholas Brothers. The evening of rarely screened film clips was compiled and introduced by Film Forum program director and Rialto Pictures founder Bruce Goldstein.

In 2012–13 our ongoing Visiting Filmmakers series featured several prominent Brazilian artists in conjunction with our center-wide Via Brasil initiative: Walter Salles, who introduced his Central Station (2012); Nelson Pereira dos Santos, who introduced How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman (1971, inset middle); and Kleber Mendoça Filho, who introduced Neighboring Sounds (2012, bottom).

The Wex continued its active support of experimental filmmaking with its regular month-long screenings in The Box video space. Projects this year included William E. Jones’s Midcentury (2012), created in our Film/Video Studio; Matt Meindl’s Don’t Break Down (2012, top left), produced with support from a Film/Video Residency Award; as well as projects by Pablo Lobato (Bronze revirado, 2011), Dan Halter (Beitbridge Moonwalk, 2010), Mary Reid Kelley (The Syphilis of Sisyphus, 2011), Bryan Boyce (Walt Disney’s “Taxi Driver”, 2011), Leslie Thornton (Binocular, 2011), Barbara Bickart (WHEN: Memphis, 2011), and Yael Bartana (Mary Koszmary, 2007).

January was something of a tribute to Jones, who has worked on dozens of films with the support of our Film/ Video Studio program. In addition to the screening of Midcentury, Jones’s work was featured in the exhibition More American Photographs; the filmmaker joined us to present a program of his short films from the past decade; and he signed copies of a limited-edition box set DVD of his breakthrough film Massillon (1991) released exclusively through the Wexner Center Store.

Research and Education

One of the Wexner Center’s contributions to the Columbus200 bicentennial celebration (and within that, the design-focused idUS festival) was Creative Engines, which brought Wieden+Kennedy Creative Director and Ohio State alum John C Jay (above left) together with Chrysler/ Fiat Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne (above right) for an evening of lively discussion, as well as a session geared specifically to Ohio State engineering and design students (left), including students at Ohio State’s Center for Automotive Research. Ohio Governor John Kasich (middle right) and former Wexner Center board president and current trustee Robert Kidder (far lower right) mingled with Marchionne and Jay at a pretalk reception.

A world-renowned laboratory for the arts, the Wexner Center actively supports the creation of new artwork and scholarship, develops illuminating public programs, and offers an open forum for audiences to engage with the art and ideas of our time.

Last fall the Wex showcased Ohio State faculty member and Bessie Award–winning dancer and choreographer Bebe Miller—not only through the world premiere of her company’s latest work, A History, but also through a collaborative exhibition, Tracing History, which explored her 25-year career in dance making.

The projects brought the Wex together with Ohio State’s Department of Dance, Urban Arts Space, University Libraries, and more in celebration of Miller’s continued presence in contemporary dance.

“We were talking about the fact that we feel we are in this for the process. It’s the continuing creative conversation that really pulls us in.”

—BEBE MILLER, QUOTED IN “BEBE MILLER’S MULTIMEDIA HISTORY,” SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

“A one-of-a-kind resource to artists around the world.”

—ARTIST SHIMON AT TIE ON THE WEXNER CENTER

Since its inception in 1989, the Wex has supported the creation of new work through its artist residency program, offering significant resources—financial and beyond—for innovators across all creative disciplines.

Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipients for 2012–13 were Matt Porterfield (Film/Video), Bebe Miller (Performing Arts), and Palissimo (Performing Arts), whose residency enabled the company to present their complete Painted Bird Trilogy (top) in sequence here in September 2012. In July 2013, the trilogy was nominated for two Bessie Awards (Outstanding Production and Performance).

The ongoing impact of the residency awards program also was apparent in our spring and summer exhibitions: MetroPAL.IS., by Shimon Attie (right), a video installation whose complex editing and postproduction work were undertaken and completed during Attie’s residency in the Film/Video Studio Program in 2010, and Paul Sietsema, a comprehensive survey of work by the artist (far right) that included the debut of a new work, Chinese Box, supported by an Artist Residency Award.

In March 2013, Michael Robinson visited to screen his ambitious Circle in the Sand (right), a video he completed as an Artist Residency Award recipient for 2011–12. The project premiered at the 2012 New York Film Festival and has since screened at festivals and theaters around the world.

Creative connections sparked at the 2013 Lambert Family Lecture, which brought together two past residency artists, Josiah McElheny (right) and Christian Marclay (center), for a riveting onstage talk with Wex Curator at Large Bill Horrigan (left).

Visiting Filmmaker Natalia Almada (left) presented four films over two nights in September, including El Velador (bottom left). Her appearances, presented in conjunction with Ohio State’s Hispanic Heritage Month and Multicultural Center, were complemented by a discussion on WOSU’s All Sides with Ann Fisher about Mexico’s drug wars, the impact of which are deftly articulated in her films. Just days after, Almada was named a 2012 MacArthur fellow—the first Latina filmmaker to receive the distinction.

Members, students, creatives, and movie fans packed our Film/ Video Theater to hear Oscar-winning costume designer James Acheson discuss his career working on such films as Last Emperor, Dangerous Liaisons, and the recent Man of Steel.

“It’s art that connects with the community, acting as a mirror and asking if we like what we see.”

—JEFF REGENSBURGER, COLUMBUS UNDERGROUND

Complementing a two-day interdisciplinary conference sponsored by 14 Ohio State departments, our Narrative Medicine: A Film and Comix Series offered a fresh Wex perspective on the emerging field that brings the art of storytelling to the science of medical practice. Films in the series included The Waiting Room (top, introduced by director Peter Nicks), Anatole Litvak’s The Snake Pit (1948), Todd Haynes’s Safe (1995), Gregg Bordowitz’s autobiographical Fast Trip, Long Drop (1994), Dark Victory (1939) starring Bette Davis, and Upgrade Soul, a digital comic enhanced by live music.

Our interdisciplinary Art & Environment program—one of several engaging educational opportunities for teens at the Wex—provides high school juniors and seniors the chance to investigate the intersections between art, environmental research, and eco-advocacy. Featuring several field trips (including trips to Delaware, Ohio’s Stratford Ecological Center and The Wilma H. Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park), the half-year program was capped off by Interventions (top), a student exhibition that showcased participants’ artistic responses to issues explored in class.

“PA is a life-changing experience that I will remember forever.”

“If I could rewind and do all of my PAGES experiences from this year again, I would.”

– HALIMA ABDULL AHI

With its immersive, interdisciplinary approach to literacy and writing, the 2012–13 PAGES program inspired students with a visit to the Annie Leibovitz exhibition, a special performance of Tim Crouch’s provocative Shakespearian show I, Malvolio, and a screening/discussion of Louder Than a Bomb with directors Jon Siskel and Greg Jacob.

The program culminated with a display of students’ work and an open mic night at the main branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

The Wex partnered with Columbus International High School (CIHS) and Centennial High School students and teachers to create socially conscious art as part of the center’s Art in Action program. Working with Tracie McCambridge, Wex educator for docent and teacher programs (leading a tour, lower right) and local artist Tariq Tarey, participants created Message in a Bottle as a response to the transformative idea “we are all international.” The work was temporarily installed in Mershon Auditorium before finding a permanent home at the school.

“It’s a unifying representation of people. It’s beautiful because it cherishes all of who we are and connects us as individuals.”

—KAREN CASTRO, COLUMBUS INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, ON MESSAGE IN A BOT TLE

Outreach and Engagement

A recent example of how the Wex hits the “sweet spot” between entertaining audiences and addressing the important issues of our time was Sing Your Song: An Evening with Harry Belafonte.

After the screening of Susanne Rostock’s documentary on his life of activism, Mr. Belafonte was joined onstage by author and Moritz College of Law professor Michelle Alexander. The event drew such local luminaries as (from left) Mark and Java Kitrick, of the Puffin Foundation West, Ltd.; longtime Wex donors Donna and Larry James; and Stephen R. Smoot and Lewis Smoot Sr., of Smoot Construction.

More than ever the Wex serves as cultural and civic hub, welcoming all audiences and communities with programs that provoke discussion, encourage debate, and spur engagement with today’s pressing issues.

Annie Leibovitz led a private tour of her exhibition for Ohio State students studying photography and members of the university’s photography club.

An undeniable highlight of the year took place in November with a Wexner Prize conversation between Leibovitz and Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann S. Wenner. The evening was a freewheeling discussion between two old friends and legends in front of a packed Mershon Auditorium—it’s the kind of event in Columbus that, increasingly, only happens here.

“We’re headed to the movies tonight for the Wexner’s #Field&Screen2013 showing of #Covenant.

Stop by and say hi!”

—LOCAL MAT TERS VIA TWIT TER

The popular Field & Screen series returned for a fourth year with a full slate of films and other events that shed light on issues surrounding food and the environment— as well as the pleasures that can be had from both. The monthlong series included Don’t Break Down (Matt Meindl, 2012), which screened in The Box and was produced with support from a Film/ Video Residency Award, and the premiere of Covenant (2012) by Michael Mercil (right). The film is an extension of his 2008–11 Wexner Center installation The Virtual Pasture. The screening of Covenant was followed by a panel discussion organized

by Ohio State Department of Art’s Living Culture Initiative and cosponsored by the Humanities Institute.

The superlative British theater artist Tim Crouch performed I, Malvolio, a solo comic take on Shakespeare’s beleaguered steward from the Bard’s Twelfth Night.

The performance was held in conjunction with The Ohio State University and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Stand Up for Shakespeare program and included extensive work with faculty and students (including some from our innovative PAGES program).

“If there is something going on there, go. It will be thought-provoking, convo-inducing, inspiring, sexy.”

Audiences swooned to The National as they headlined this year’s Next@Wex Fest, a collaboration between our partners at PromoWest Productions and CD102.5 FM. Proceeds from the show, which brought in nearly 5,000 people, went to Wexner Center programming and CD102.5 For the Kids, the children’s charity arm of the local independent radio station.

Rising indie bands Local Natives and Mount Moriah opened the evening.

In our third year of collaboration with the Wexner Medical Center’s Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Program (STAR), the Wexner Center offered the aptly titled An Unforgettable Evening with Natalie Cole. The event featured a special preconcert cocktail supper and postperformance meet-and-greet with Ms. Cole (top left), and Columbus’ own 200-strong service choir, The Harmony Project, got the show off to a rousing start. The event drew such Columbus personalities as (inset from top) Yvette McGee Brown and Dr. John Campo; STAR’s Lynnda Davis (second from left) with friends; Becca Kastan and guest with STAR’s Kurt Malkoff.

Wexner Medical Center CEO and Senior VP for Health Services Dr. Steven G. Gabbe addressed dinner guests before the show.

Each year the Wex presents award-winning outdoor adventure and extreme sports movies selected from the Banff Mountain Film Festival.

The program has continued to grow—both in scale, with two separate nights of screenings, and in popularity, as both evenings of our April 2013 program sold out.

Intergalactic Nemesis (for ages 7 and up) featured live actors, sound effects, and awesome projected imagery, delighting both young audiences and big kids alike, whether they grew up on the radio dramas of the 1930s and 40s or the epic sci-fi films of the 1970s and 80s.

“Pitch-perfect…totally nuts and a ton of fun!”

Every year the Wex offers programs that reach across generations to engage the whole family. This year our Zoom Family Film Festival (for ages 9 and up) coincided with our monthlong Castles in the Sky film series (left), featuring the work of Japan’s Studio Ghibli.

Among the films screened were Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro (1988) and Porco Rosso (1992).

On the cover: In June the Wexner Center presented Ohio’s first 70mm screenings of the acclaimed Paul Thomas Anderson film The Master, starring Joaquin Phoenix (pictured) and Philip Seymour Hoffman. With the recent addition of a 4K digital projector to our 16/35/70 mm dualsystem projectors, the Wex is well equipped to offer contemporary cinematic masterpieces in their best available format.

“The Wexner Center, more than any other cultural institution, has put the city on the map in international arts, cinema and performance circles.”
