Gallery Talk: Cushner

Housed in the dynamic and multidisciplinary Katzen Arts Center, the American University Museum builds its programming on the strengths of a great college and great university. We focus on international art because American University has a global commitment. We show political art because the university is committed to human rights, social justice, and political engagement. We support the artists in our community because the university takes an active and responsible role in the formation of our contemporary art and culture.We present exhibitions that mirror American University’s aspiration to be the premier Washington-based, global university. Our programming puts the best art of our region in a national and international context. Our collections enable us to present the art history of Washington, while our Kunsthalle attitude brings the most provocative art of our time to our place.

Artist and special guest present on the exhibition "Cushner"

Artist, Steven Cushner and special guest Architect David Jameson, will discuss the exhibition &quot;Cushner&quot; in a gallery talk scheduled forSaturday, 2:00- 3:00pmCushner refers to and builds upon a solidly stylistic through-line from Steven Cushner’s past work to present work. More importantly, through the conscious manipulation of an array of subtlety, color choices and scale, Cushner pulls new experiences from his established style of painting. This is not a retrospective of the artist’s forty-plus year career; it’s a selection of what is happening in his studio today. The pieces range from small scale works on paper and wood cut prints to large scale paintings. The exhibition presents a mature artist at a powerful moment in his career. 

AU Museum partnered with HEMPHILL Artworks to develop this showing of Cushner’s more recent works in one of the largest exhibitions of his work to date. CUSHNER will give viewers a rare chance to view some of the artist’s monumental paintings up close. This event will be held in-person at the museum. <a href="https://www.american.edu/cas/museum/upcoming.cfm" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more about the exhibition.</a>Please direct any questions about this event to the museum&#x27;s main contact for this event, Patricia Edwine-Poku at ppoku@american.edu.Image: Steven Cushner, Tides, 2018.
