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.

SUMMARY:Black Orpheus: Jacob Lawrence and the Mbari Club
DESCRIPTION:Toledo Museum of Art | June 3-September 3 \nLevis Gallery \nThe exhibition features more than 110 objects\, including paintings\, sculptures\, reliefs and works on paper. Lawrence’s Nigeria series (1964-65) anchors the exhibition and appears alongside works by several Mbari Artists and Writers Club members\, including Duro Ladipo\, Twins Seven-Seven\, Muraina Oyelami\, Asiru Olatunde\, Jacob Afolabi and Adebisi Akanji. The show also includes letters Lawrence wrote to his friends in the United States about his experiences in Nigeria and copies of Black Orpheus (1957-67)\, the Nigeria-based literary journal that showcases the works of modernist African and African Diasporic writers and visual artists. \nThe exhibition is organized into five sections that offer insight into Lawrence’s experiences and emphasize the global diversity of the artists affiliated with Black Orpheus and the Mbari Artists and Writers Club. Nigeria\, the first section of the exhibition\, introduces viewers to Lawrence’s representation of the country through depictions of its splendid markets\, complex communities and permeable spiritual practices. Artists of Osogbo follows with works of several little-known Nigerian artists who learned a range of artistic traditions—printmaking\, batik textiles and painting—from older generations of Western and non-Western artists. Their images inspired younger generations. Zaria Art Society showcases a small group of Nigerian artists who met at the National College of Art & Technology and developed a philosophy called “natural synthesis\,” where the artists incorporated local aesthetics and cultural traditions with western-style art techniques to create a new modern art form. Across the African Continent features artists from other countries outside of Nigeria who also trained in European art styles yet featured iconography and stories from their own cultures as modes of new artistic expression. The exhibition concludes with Beyond the African Continent\, featuring artists from around the world whose dynamic creations mirrored those of their counterparts in Africa. \nBlack Orpheus: Jacob Lawrence and the Mbari Club is co-organized by the Chrysler Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art. It is curated by Kimberli Gant\, Ph.D.\, the Brooklyn Museum’s curator of modern and contemporary art and the Chrysler Museum of Art’s former McKinnon curator of modern and contemporary art\, and Ndubuisi Ezeluomba\, Ph.D.\, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art’s curator of African art and the New Orleans Museum of Art’s former Françoise Billion Richardson curator of African art.
