Similar sustenance and stimulation for mind and soul was to be found in every corner of the Wex during 2011–2012.

hardy sedum plants, sculptural planters, and pathways that will live on for years to come. Still further deepening the shade of green in and around the Wex this year was the continued presence of our successful Market at 15th and High on Thursday evenings during warm weather months. Our February Field & Screen film series brought a collection of food and environmentally themed films to light. And last fall, we happily unveiled our new café, Heirloom, run by the tireless and talented husband-and-wife team of John and Kimberly Skaggs, who have reinvented our café space into a much-buzzed-about destination.

Cross-campus connections too were rich and diverse: we were proud to partner with WOSU on the debut of their Columbus Neighborhoods documentary on the University District; to again collaborate with the Wexner Medical Center’s Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) program; to continue screening films with a Wex sensibility at the Gateway Film Center; and to join forces with a number of academic colleagues in a variety of lectures, readings, symposia, and receptions, including our annual Glimcher Lecture—which this year featured internationally

The Wex was thrilled to announce in March our plans to create a new, teen-centric space (currently occupied by the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum) with generous initial support committed by AEP. Though it won’t open until late 2014 or early 2015, it marks the first true expansion of Wexner Center on its 15th & High footprint since its opening in 1989 and, more importantly, our firstever fully dedicated education space. With teens an ever more active presence at the center through such acclaimed education programs as Pages, Art & Environment, WorldView, and Ohio Shorts—Youth Division, we are beyond keen to create a truly unique destination and habitat for our community’s youth.

And to that end, we were thrilled to join forces with Columbus’s Metropolitan Library, Center of Science and Industry, Museum of Art, and WOSU in a collaborative grant from the IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Sciences) and MacArthur Foundation toward establishing the new space as one of several community Learning Labs for teens.

participation and collaboration. And as these works of art make their way through the world, they not only carry the Wex flag but help to further connect the center to that national and international network of forces advancing global culture. It’s only through the collective support of Wex trustees, patrons, staff, university leaders, and community partners that the center’s “bandwidth” will continue to grow and amplify in coming years, and we are grateful for your conviction, your advocacy, and your encouragement.

Exceptional Artistry

We inspire cultural curiosity, support artistic innovation, and fuel the creative expression of our time.

After a cross-campus residency, New York theater company The Builders Association premiered HOUSE / DIVIDED at Ohio State’s Thurber Theatre. This multimedia, visually stunning show took on the contemporary housing foreclosure crisis through the lens of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath.

With funding from a coveted Creative Campus Innovations Grant, the show’s team came to Columbus and Ohio State multiple times over the course of a year to work with university faculty, students, and staff from the fields of theater, architecture, business, agriculture, history, comparative studies, and more.

Marie Losier (pictured below), a Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient in the 2011–’12 season, came in April to introduce The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye (pictured at right), a spirited documentary about the relationship between industrial music pioneer Genesis P-Orridge and his muse and collaborator, Lady Jaye. The film won the Teddy Award for Best LGBT Documentary at the Berlin Film Festival. Here at the Wex, Losier mingled with visitors at a post-film reception.

Two video works by Berlinbased Israeli video artist Omer Fast were shown in the Wexner Center galleries over the summer. The haunting 5000 Feet Is the Best (pictured here) intercut interviews with real and fictional drone pilots, with spectacular aerial views of Las Vegas. CNN Concatenated, shown on a TV in a turn-ofthe-millennium-style living room, spliced together hundreds of brief clips from CNN to explore themes of the media and its effect on us—and viceversa. Visitors to the opening enjoyed a lively talk by Fast.

The sparkling mixed-media collages in the exhibition Elliott Hundley: The Bacchae (pictured above and in inset) marked the first significant museum exhibition of this young Los Angeles artist’s work in the region. With free-standing sculptures and massive mixedmedia collages featuring thousands of found objects, the show brought to life the classical Euripides tragedy The Bacchae.

A feast for the eye as well as the mind, the exhibition went on to the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas after its run here, with accompanying catalogue (below), designed in-house at the Wex—the first scholarly treatment of Hundley’s work—traveling alongside. The Fort-Worth Star Telegram called the show a “veritable bacchanalia of textures and found objects,” with “rewards aplenty.”

On the heels of a screening at the Toronto Film Festival, the Wex presented Guy Maddin’s offbeat gangster movie/ghost story Keyhole, starring Isabella Rossellini and Jason Patric (pictured above). The Wex provided commissioning funds and editing support from the Film/Video Studio for the creation of the work; Maddin, no stranger to the Wex over the years, was a Wexner Center

Artist Residency Award recipient in 2008–’09. Maddin introduced the film at a members’-only preview screening in September that was truly an event. At left, Maddin, second from right, poses with film staffers (from left) Chris Stults, Mike Olenick, Jennifer Lange, and David Filipi.

New York-based Austrian artist Ernst Caramelle came to town to create this immersive wall painting in our lobbies and café, on view the first half of the year. Caramelle, who looked forward to his coffee at Heirloom every morning, is pictured in the three insets working on the piece. A sketch of the work as it was being developed is shown above and was featured in the first of the show’s two gallery guides; the artist considers accompanying materials part of his body of work. He returned to town to give a public talk.

“The thing about the Wexner Center’s film program is that I don’t have to look into it at all. I know that when I go there, even if I don’t know anything about the movies that they’re showing, they will always lead to great conversation afterward.”

–JENI BRIT TON BAUER, OWNER OF JENI’S SPLENDID ICE CREAMS

A series featuring the work of experimental filmmaker David Gatten, organized by the Wex’s Chris Stults, struck a chord across the country. After the series’ premiered here in January, it subsequently traveled to eight venues, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Harvard Film Archives, multiple venues

in San Francisco (including SFMOMA), and multiple venues in Los Angeles (including REDCAT). A major publication (pictured at right), created by Wex designer Erica Anderson and featuring essays by film historians, accompanied the series here and went on the road as well.

The Wex served as the only Midwest venue for Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955–1972, which had traveled from Brussels to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles before making its Columbus stop en route to the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The show featured about 100 works by the late Polish artist, a Holocaust survivor, including her works in polyester resin, plaster, and other materials that reveal a sense of physical and emotional trauma but also wit. Pictured at right are some of her “illuminated lips” made of polyester resin, from the ’60s. At left is one of her drawings from the series Human Landscape, from the ’70s.

The Wex co-commissioned Canyon, the latest work from choreographer John Jasperse.

This powerful work celebrates the transformative power of losing oneself in visceral experience, and played to a packed house during its run here last spring.

The visionary and vivid paintings by Alexis Rockman were the focus of A Fable for Tomorrow, the first major survey of Rockman’s work.

Mixing evolutionary history, genetics, science, and art history, Rockman’s large-scale paintings offer a complex and thought-provoking mingling of fantasy and scientific fact.

“The center has become a powerful force in the national and international art world— one of the most important contemporary arts facilities in this country, and certainly perhaps the most important on a university campus.” —OHIO STATE PRESIDENT E. GORDON GEE

The Box video space continues to bring audiences varied video works in an intimate setting each month, such as Anita’s Journey by Shelley Jordon and Karrabing! Low Tide Turning by Liza Johnson & Elizabeth A. Povinelli, both projects completed with support from our Film/Video Studio program.

This year our film/video programming expanded beyond the theater walls into an enveloping and interactive film experience, when a sold-out crowd took part in the landmark experimental work Line Describing a Cone; the participatory event was part of our popular Expanded Cinema program.

The Wexner Center continues to be the premier venue to see the latest and greatest in international and independent cinema in Columbus. This year alone we were the only place in town to see such acclaimed works as (from left): Serge Bromberg’s painstaking restoration of Georges Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon (and his documentary about the project, The Extraordinary Voyage), Kenneth Lonergan’s Margaret, and Bertrand Bonello’s House of Pleasures.

“The best room in town for jazz” —COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Winter and spring brought several hot shows with a series of sold-out and near capacity jazz performances that brought some of the best players in the world—some established, some rising stars— to the stage, such as the Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Miguel Zenón and his quartet.

“The Wexner Center has one of the most compelling jazz series in the country. The programming highlights some of the most creative forces in jazz. I really like the vision behind the series. It’s an honor to be a part of it, and I wish I could be here for the rest of the shows.”

—DONNY MCCASLIN (SPEAKING TO THE AUDIENCE AT HIS FEBRUARY CONCERT)

Cubes and Anarchy, the first major thematic exhibition devoted to the work of the renowned 20th-century American sculptor David Smith, offered a compelling examination of the various phases of his career and how his identification with the working class informed his artistic practice.

Distinguished guests and Wexner Center staff at the opening of Cubes and Anarchy (L to R): Candida Smith (David Smith’s daughter), Christopher Bedford (Wex curator), Rebecca Smith (David Smith’s daughter), Peter Stevens (executive director of the Smith estate), Sherri Geldin (Wex director), and Carol S. Eliel (curator of modern art, LACMA and curator of Cubes and Anarchy).

Sarah Morris’s Points on a Line, a large-scale and immersive video installation took viewers on a journey from Philip Johnson’s Glass House in Connecticut to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Illinois, all as a way to explore built environments and the structures and contexts that shape them.

The popular Next@Wex series highlights rising indie music innovators (many times before they break into the mainstream) and established voices in independent music. This year saw a sold-out crowd experience an explosive performance from tUnE-yArDs (top), an intimate performance from Bill Callahan, and the return of Feist.

“Your monthly calendar arrived yesterday. It’s probably the only print piece I spend time with every damn issue. So. Well. Done.”

—JAY DASCENZO, DASCENZO CREATIVE, WEXNER CENTER MEMBER

From coast to coast, around the world, on screen, on the air, and in print, the Wex received notice from hundreds of media outlets. This page includes only a few examples, including the appearance of filmmaker Liza Johnson on MSNBC’s Morning Joe discussing her film Return, the Wall Street Journal’s feature on Alexis Rockman, the New York Times on Guy Maddin’s Keyhole (a film completed as part of the Wex’s Residency program), and much more.

And Wexner Center programming and initiatives aren’t the only thing garnering attention: pictured at left are members of our design team (Erica Anderson, Chris Jones, and Mike Greenler) accepting a “Best of Show” Award from the Columbus Society for Communicating Arts for their work on a wide array of Wexner Center materials, including our calendar, catalogues, and collective design efforts.

Research and Education

In November, Dublin, Ireland’s leading contemporary theater ensemble, Pan Pan, brought to the center The Rehearsal, Playing the Dane, a penetrating examination of Shakespeare’s Hamlet informed by intensively researched scholarship. The

performance was programmed in conjunction with The Year of Shakespeare, a culmination of a three-year partnership between Ohio State and the Royal Shakespeare Company, for which the center served as a cosponsor.

The mischievous Nearly Lear, a lively take on the tragic King Lear as interpreted by the king’s closest companion, his own fool, used storytelling, music, film— and the Bard’s text— to take audiences of all ages to the heart of the story. Susanna Hamnett’s one-woman performance in March was also programmed in conjunction with The Year of Shakespeare.

The summertime film series Kinema Japan, a showcase of Japan’s rich film history, featured a variety of genres from the past 80 years, including works by revered Japanese directors such as Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa, contemporary filmmakers such as Takashi Miike and Hirokazu Kore-Eda, and many others.

“Public higher education is crucial to developing and sustaining a creative, innovative, and highly skilled workforce.… The arts build vibrant and diverse communities. The Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University advances both goals.”

—LIMITED BRANDS CHAIRMAN AND CEO, LESLIE H. WEXNER

Architect Elizabeth Diller, a founding member of the innovative interdisciplinary design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and, with partner Ricardo Scofidio, a 1999 recipient of the MacArthur Foundation “genius award,” delivered the 2011 Glimcher Lecture in November.

Diller discussed her renowned design studio’s most significant projects, including Manhattan’s celebrated High Line park and the expansion of the Juilliard School (inset).

“I just want to share our appreciation for making this time for our kids. As I know you are aware, many of these kids would never be exposed to all the wonderful things you have to offer.”

—CHRISSY SCOT T, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR, HUCKLEBERRY HOUSE

The work of painter Alexis Rockman proved to be fertile ground for students of all ages, including students from Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School (opposite page), who listened as Jean Pitman, Wexner Center educator for youth programs, presented Rockman’s vivid and visionary paintings. Works by Rockman, Paula Hayes, and Elliott Hundley also inspired students in the Pages program to write and respond with their own artwork, shown in a May exhibition at the Main branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

In May, documentary filmmaker Jon Shenk (inset) introduced his inspiring film The Island President, about Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of the Maldives, and the crucial challenges global warming presents for his country. Nasheed, at one time imprisoned and tortured under the regime of longtime dictator Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, became the Maldive’s first democratically elected president in 2008.

The 2012 Director’s Dialogue on Art and Social Change featured Return, a film by Ohio native Liza Johnson. After the screening, the center hosted a panel discussion with (from left): Judith Broder, founder and director of The Soldiers Project; Ken Harbaugh, a former U.S. Navy pilot, executive director of ServiceNation, and cofounder of The Mission Continues; Johnson; Erica Slone, an Ohio State student veteran; and moderator Ann Fisher, host of WOSU’s All Sides.

The Wexner Center Roof Garden, a permanent, sitespecific outdoor installation by landscape designer and artist Paula Hayes, received a summertime visit from a tour group of young students.

Through the generous support of the Trueman Family, the garden was designed and installed in conjunction with Hayes’s fall 2011 exhibition in our galleries and occupies a grassy berm that sits atop the center’s Film/Video Theater.

Filmmaker Bill Morrison (inset) collaborated with guitarist/composer Bill Frisell in The Great Flood, a Wexcommissioned project staged in March. The 1927 flood of the Mississippi River was a natural catastrophe that sparked a transformation of American society and music; the project made use of archival footage of the flood and contemporary digital imagery captured by Morrison, both paired with Frisell’s elegiac and emotionally charged score.

Students visited the Wexner Center in February to explore the work of sculptor David Smith as part of Art in Action, a partnership between the center, teachers, and schools intended to demonstrate how art can be used as a catalyst for change by working to complement day-to-day classroom curriculum.

A young Weinland Park resident’s weaving project was aided by artist/educator Rachel Murdock, who also lives in the neighborhood, as part of Columbus artist Malcolm J.’s Art Mix Project. Malcolm J., who also lives in the neighborhood, started family-friendly community-based artmaking sessions for community members. The Wexner Center supported his efforts by providing grantwriting aid, arts supplies, and help with logistics.

“While performance art may once have been considered fringe or marginal, this type of live, interactive exhibition is increasingly a staple of mainstream museum programming... institutions like the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Redcat in Los Angeles, and the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University in Columbus have largely made their reputations on visual, performing and media arts.” —ROBIN POGREBIN, NEW YORK TIMES

In Art & Environment, high school students from throughout central Ohio explored art and environmental issues, working with artists (including Alexis Rockman), hearing from Ohio State scientists, and visiting sites such as a power plant, a landfill, and an organic farm, before presenting their artwork in a December exhibition.

Outreach and Engagement

The Wexner Center reaches out to many diverse constituencies and increasingly serves as a creative nexus where art and audiences come together around pressing societal issues.

“Thanks to the Wexner Center, Columbus had a fantastic opportunity for two community-wide conversations about preventing gun violence with the screening of The Interrupters, a documentary about CeaseFire Chicago. Their level of sensitivity to the topic and willingness to partner with us played an important role in educating the public about effective intervention strategies that can reduce gun violence.”

—DEANNA L. WILKINSON, PH.D. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN ECOLOGY, AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANT

One of the year’s most powerful moments came in February for a screening and post-film discussion of The Interrupters, a documentary centered on new approaches to stemming urban violence in Chicago. A panel featuring the film’s director, subjects, and local and national experts discussed how communities like Columbus can similarly combat the issue on a grassroots level.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of teenagers from local schools watched the film and participated in post-film workshops to collectively discuss issues raised in the film.

Trivia Nights continued to be a popular event for the GenWex crowd, consistently drawing packed houses for Wexthemed questions, food, and fun. Several of our corporate partners got in on the fun this past year, holding “private” Trivia Nights in the Wexner Center Performance Space for their associates and clients.

The Zoom Family Film Festival was once again a sure-fire hit, packing our lower lobby and Film/Video Theater for a weekend of films and activities for all ages. The 2011 festival featured classic comedies, documentaries, and contemporary animation, from the U.S. and overseas. On Saturday, Zoom went to the zoo, with animals “starring” in all five films.

May saw the second WexSTAR benefit, a partnership with the Wexner Medical Center’s Stress, Trauma, and Resilience program. This year, donors and friends gathered in our Performance Space for a pre-event reception that featured remarks from Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee (pictured, center), along

Our GenWex young art patrons initiative took off in a big way this past year, with the formation of GWAC (GenWex Advisory Council) and the more-popular-than-ever Off the Grid Party in April, which saw young creatives dancing into the wee hours to DJs Brooke LaValley, Patrick Hicks, Rainer Ziehm, and Mike Simonetti (of Italians Do It Better fame). All funds raised went to the Wex’s education program, making it truly a party with a purpose and increasingly a don’t-miss event on the city’s social calendar.

with actress and author Carrie Fisher (at right). After the reception, Fisher was joined

by Ohio State alumna and CBS News correspondent Erin Moriarty (pictured, left) for a rollicking romp through the ups and downs of Fisher’s life and career.

The sixth year of our monthlong Cinema Latino series showcased a vibrant and diverse sampling of Latin American cinema featuring films made in seven countries, and across stylistic boundaries, animation (Chico & Rita, pictured, right), comedy, documentary, sci-fi, and drama.

The series was cosponsored by Hispanic Chamber of Columbus and Ohio State’s Center for Latin American Studies and Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

It’s not every day a former Buckeye stops by the Wexner Center, but early August 2011 saw two in the house (Heisman Trophy winner, Eddie George, left and Jim Lachey, right) for a tribute to Ed Sabol & NFL Films.

Picking up on the popularity of our annual Rare Films from the Baseball Hall of Fame program, Director of Film/Video David Filipi (center) put together a program of classic and neverseen films from the archives of NFL Films for an evening that left football fans cheering for more.

“Whether it’s a film, exhibition, or performance, the Wex is the perfect conversation starter.”

Food-lovers all over town rejoiced with the opening of Heirloom as our new café in September. Operated by Kimberly and John Skaggs (pictured below), Heirloom was greeted with open arms by foodies and heaps of great press from Columbus’ burgeoning culinary media.

Featuring creatively prepared local and seasonal ingredients,

Landscape designer and artist Paula Hayes’ Wexner Center Roof Garden took root in early September, just as our “eco” rotation of exhibitions featuring Hayes, Alexis Rockman, and Elliott Hundley were opening in our galleries below. The permanent installation—which takes up an approximately 3,500-squarefoot plot of land above the Film/Video Theater—features hearty sedum plants, grasses, and other perennial plantings whose appearance and character will vary and thrive throughout all four seasons and evolve over the years.

some of which are grown just outside the Wexner Center’s front door, Heirloom offers breakfast dishes (served all day), soups, salads, sandwiches, entrees, and baked goods.

The Skaggs are also longtime members of the Columbus culinary community, previously involved with such companies as Two Caterers, Northstar, and L’Antibes.

Our most generous donors celebrated our 22nd Anniversary at a party filled with exceptional art, fine food, festive cocktails, lots of dancing, and the great company of our most generous donors.
