The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is pleased to announce its exhibitions and programs for the coming year. In keeping with the museum’s rich history as a pioneering contemporary art institution, 2023 at The Aldrich will feature a series of exhibitions and projects by bold artists who push the boundaries of artistic expression.
Executive Director Cybele Maylone says: “2023 will, as always, be a year of firsts at The Aldrich, with first museum exhibitions and first releases for a range of artists, as well as first presentations of new bodies of work. But the year will also include one last one: 30 years after his first curatorial project for the museum, Richard Klein will conclude his incredible tenure at The Aldrich with the engaging group show Prima Materia.”
52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone On view until January 8, 2023
52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone revisits and celebrates the landmark exhibition Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists, curated by Lucy R. Lippard and presented at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in 1971, a new list of 26 female identifying or non-binary emerging artists representing the development of feminist art practices over the past five decades. 52 Artists span the entire museum – the first exhibition in The Aldrich’s new building, which opened in 2004. 52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone is organized by The Aldrich Chief Curator Amy Smith-Stewart, who will bring together the up-and-coming six artists and independent curator Alexandra Schwartz with Caitlin Monachino, Curator and Publications Manager.
