Last chance! Rodin | Response: FIELD family secrets on view in Galleries 124 & 125 through this Sun. Sept. 8! This exhibition is the culmination of an academic research project by Indian artist Supermrin. Informed by her decolonial bioart practice, titled FIELD, the exhibition develops both as a provocation and an artistic response to a group of bronze statues by Auguste Rodin hosted this year at the museum. This spring, Supermrin collaborated with her undergraduate students at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Art, mining art history, art theory, and the museum’s collection to cast narratives across time and space that investigate the materiality and hybridity within and beyond Rodin’s sculpture. We encourage you to adopt a student’s approach and look at the artworks and ideas in this exhibition from several perspectives. As an assistant in Auguste Rodin’s studio might have during the 1900 Universal Exposition in Paris, you can look at a moment in time—a subjective and partial view of Europe’s effects on the world at the turn of the century. You can also look back across time at Rodin’s modernism, the new possibilities for the monument he pioneered, and the impact and afterlife of his art on how artists and the public have conceived sculpture in the 1900s and 2000s. And you can look to the burning present, to contemporary sculpture as inheritances—the “family secrets” embedded within the fragmented legacies of colonialism and modernism. Free admission!

Now on view—The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century From the street to the runway, the artist’s studio to the museum gallery, and countless sites in between, The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century explores hip hop’s profound impact on contemporary art and culture. One of the most vital movements of the 20th century, hip hop is now a global industry and way of life. In the 21st century, hip hop practitioners have harnessed digital technologies to gain unparalleled economic, social, and cultural capital. Hip hop emerged in the 1970s in the Bronx as a form of celebration expressed by Black and Latinx youth through emceeing (rapping), deejaying, graffiti-writing, and breakdancing. Over the past 50 years, these creative practices have produced new forms of power as they critique, celebrate, and refuse dominant ones. Hip hop has deeply informed ‘’The Culture,” an expression of Black Diasporic culture that has largely defined itself against white dominance. In the art museum, however, ‘’culture’’ has historically meant a Europe-focused set of aesthetics, values, and traditions sustained through gatekeeping. The works in our galleries explore where ‘’culture’’ and ‘’The Culture’’ collide through six themes: Language, Brand, Adornment, Tribute, Pose, and Ascension. Language, whether in words, music, or graffiti, explores hip hop’s strategies of subversion. Brand highlights the icons born from hip hop and the seduction of success. Adornment exuberantly challenges white ideas of taste with alternate notions of beauty, while Tribute testifies to hip hop’s development of a visual canon. Pose celebrates how hip hop speaks through the body and its gestures. Ascension explores mortality, spirituality, and the transcendent. Endlessly inventive and multi-faceted, hip hop, and the art it inspires, will continue to dazzle and empower. See the exhibition on view through September 29! Save $2 when you purchase tickets online. See the exhibition for free on Thursday nights from 5–8 p.m. and during Art After Dark on August 30 and September 27 from 5–9 p.m. CAM members—see the exhibition for FREE! Not a member?
