SUMMARY:Matt Wedel: Phenomenal Debris
DESCRIPTION:Toledo Museum of Art | November 5-April 2 \nMatt Wedel: Phenomenal Debris\nLevis Gallery and Gallery 29A \nMonumental\, colorful\, and expressive\, Matt Wedel’s ceramics are a full celebration of what’s possible with clay. Matt Wedel: Phenomenal Debris brings together a large selection of the artist’s ceramics and drawings spanning over a decade of his career. Wedel is renowned in his field for pushing the boundaries of ceramics\, resulting in objects that recall familiar forms while also springing from his own imagination. The exhibition marks the first large-scale solo show for the artist in a major art museum. \nWedel’s practice is grounded in the exploration of human psychology. With experimentation playing a pivotal role\, he challenges himself to embrace chance\, possibility\, and failure. The resulting works are a story of creation and destruction. In Wedel’s own words\, his work is the phenomenal debris that is shed from being human. \nMatt Wedel: Phenomenal Debris is organized by the Toledo Museum of Art and curated by Diane Wright\, senior curator of glass and contemporary craft. This exhibition is sponsored locally by season sponsor ProMedica and presenting sponsors Susan and Tom Palmer\, with additional support from the TMA Ambassadors and the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC).

SUMMARY:Seeing Stars\, Divining Futures
DESCRIPTION:Toledo Museum of Art | February 3-June 18 \nGallery 1 \nSince the Stone Age\, people around the world have looked to the night sky to make sense of the universe and ourselves. The cosmos—the sun\, moon\, orbiting planets\, and twinkling stars—have inspired stargazing astronomers and artists alike\, while practitioners of astrology use the position of celestial bodies to gain insight into our characters and predict our futures. Notably\, in both Western and Eastern astrological traditions\, zodiac signs are often visualized in animal forms\, each zodiac representing certain characteristics in people’s personalities. \nSeeing Stars\, Divining Futures highlights the long history of human interest in the cosmos and its impact on earthly affairs. The exhibition showcases works from the Toledo Museum of Art’s collection that demonstrate the integration of art and divinatory practices across eras and cultures. From representations of the zodiac to tarot cards and images of fortune tellers\, we invite you to explore how artists communicate our desire to know the unknowable and foresee the future.

SUMMARY:Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo
DESCRIPTION:Toledo Museum of Art | April 29-November 26 \nCanaday Gallery\nAlexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo \nAdmission to the special exhibition is $10. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) and Superblue will present Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo at the Toledo Museum of Art\, April 29-Nov. 26. The installation marks the artist’s first solo presentation in the United States and her largest indoor installation to date. \nThe site-specific\, immersive installation simulates a natural dawn chorus\, the daily call and response performed by birds in the spring and summer to defend their territory and call for mates. In Ginsberg’s artwork\, the natural dawn chorus is slowly taken over by artificial birds\, whose calls are generated using machine learning. Drawing on the significance of the region’s location on spring migration flyways\, Machine Auguries: Toledo reflects on the decline of bird populations caused by human action. \nThe installation features the growing light of an artificial dawn and foregrounds our current environment where habitat destruction\, climate change and the effects of noise and light pollution are disrupting the dawn chorus. Birds — critical to functioning ecosystems — are being forced to sing earlier\, longer\, louder or at higher pitches\, ultimately threatening their populations as only the species that adapt can survive. Ginsberg trained a generative adversarial network (GAN) — two neural networks that work in a “call and response” and are sometimes used to create lifelike but fake images. She used tens of thousands of field recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and documented different bird species iconic to the Toledo region\, including the northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) and the gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis). \nA suspended lighting array spanning the gallery transports viewers from the deep blue of the Toledo predawn through to the pinks and golds of the sunrise. Visitors sit together in a clearing under the artificial sky and listen to a solo call and response between a real and synthetic bird. Over time\, those calls grow into the crescendo of the dawn chorus. \nDuring the days of the machine learning process\, the artificial birds become increasingly lifelike. They incrementally improve as their calls grow in fidelity\, mimicking how many bird species develop their song by learning from each other in the wild. In Machine Auguries: Toledo\, the machine learns from the disappearing birds. Machine Auguries was the first artwork to use GAN with sound when it was originally commissioned with a UK chorus by Somerset House\, London\, for the exhibition 24/7. \nAlexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo is organized by Superblue and Jessica S. Hong\, the Toledo Museum of Art’s curator of modern and contemporary art. The installation is sponsored locally by season sponsor ProMedica\, the presenting sponsors Susan and Tom Palmer\, the Rita B. Kern Foundation and the Trumbull Family. Additional support provided by Dana Incorporated\, Taylor Cadillac and the Ohio Arts Council.
