GWATHMEY SIEGEL: Inspiration and Transformation

June 23, 2009-January 10, 2010, Hughes Wing

Inspiration and Transformation is the first museum exhibition devoted to the work of American architectural firm Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects (NYC). The firm designed the Cameron Art Museum, as well as many other notable museums, residences and corporate offices. This exhibition addresses eight Gwathmey Siegel projects, focusing primarily on five that represent major transitions in their forty-five year practice. The exhibition demonstrates the broader cultural currents in American modernist art and architecture, as well as the more specific inspiration of art associated with each of these commissions.

Winning IDEAs: Selected Product Designs 2008

April 17 - October 25, 2009 Galleria Cases

This exhibition features a collection of International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) winners. The IDEA Awards are presented annually by IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America), with selections made by an international jury of professional designers and academics. Each day, we live and work with products and objects whose functionality, beauty and availability are taken for granted. Few of us remember that these products are conceived, designed and put into production by industrial designers. The Cameron Art Museum's exhibition features a selection of the award-winning designs drawn from the 2008 IDEA competition, including Gold-, Silver- and Bronze-winning designs from the competition's 17 product categories: Commercial & Industrial Products, Communication Tools, Computer Equipment, Design Strategy, Ecodesign, Entertainment, Environments, Home Living, Interactive Product Experiences, Leisure & Recreation, Medical & Scientific Products, Office & Productivity, Packaging & Graphics, Personal Accessories, Research, Student Designs and Transportation.

KALEIDOSCOPE: Changing Views of the Permanent Collection

May 15, 2009-May 9, 2010 Brown Wing

This exhibition features selected paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, photographs, furniture, decorative arts and other objects drawn from the museum's permanent collection. The exhibition's configuration will change throughout the year, as individual works are rotated. This approach is taken to protect fragile works from prolonged exposure to light; to allow additional works to be exhibited; and to elicit new, unexpected associations between works of art. The first installation of KALEIDOSCOPE will be organized by color. The resulting juxtapositions are designed to yield unexpected and unusual relationships, as works of divergent periods, styles and subjects are seen together, related only by the artists' choices of color. Subsequent installations may be organized by single-artist installations, themes or subject matter.
