Mary Heilmann: To Be Someone
Location: Wexner Center Galleries
http://www.wexarts.org/ex/index.php?eventid=2451
Mary Heilmann
To Be Someone
Sat, May 10 - Sun, Aug 17, 2008
Wexner Center Galleries
This nationally touring show is the first retrospective of work by influential New York-based painter Mary Heilmann. A pioneer of infusing abstract painting with influences from popular culture and craft traditions, Heilmann is one of the most important yet least recognized artists in the United States today.
One of the very few female abstract painters of her generation, she has nevertheless maintained a steadfast commitment to producing eccentric, engaging, visceral paintings. Featuring 75 works from the last three decades, the exhibition also explores Heilmann’s interest in ceramics, decorative arts, film, and music. It is organized by the Orange County Museum of Art. The show also tours to the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, in 2008. A catalogue featuring essays by Elizabeth Armstrong, Johanna Burton, Dave Hickey, and Al Ruppersberg accompanies the exhibition.

Jeff Smith: Bone and Beyond
Location: Wexner Center Galleries
http://www.wexarts.org/ex/index.php?eventid=2371
Jeff Smith
Bone and Beyond
Sat, May 10 - Sun, Aug 17, 2008
Wexner Center Galleries
Based in Columbus, Jeff Smith is one of the country's most acclaimed and influential comic book artist/writers, best known for the epic graphic novel Bone.
In 2005, Time magazine called Bone, which Smith wrote and drew, one of the 10 greatest graphic novels of all-time. This exhibition—a partnership between the Wexner Center and Ohio State University's Cartoon Research Library—will include approximately 75 original drawings: primarily original black-and-white pages from Bone, with a smaller selection of full-color Bone covers and post-Bone work, including original drawings from Smith's recent Shazam series for DC Comics and from Rasl (forthcoming), a time-travel story.
The exhibition will also include a selection of original comics whose artists Smith cites as direct influences, among them examples from Walt Kelly's Pogo, Will Eisner's The Spirit, George Herriman's Krazy Kat, Charles Schulz's Peanuts, Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury, and E. C. Segar's Thimble Theatre. The exhibition is organized by Lucy Shelton Caswell, professor and curator of Ohio State's Cartoon Research Library, and David Filipi, the Wexner Center's curator of film and video. The catalogue features an introduction by Caswell, and essays by Filipi, Sandman creator Neil Gaiman, and cartoonist and scholar Scott McCloud.
A related show will be on view nearby in Ohio State's Cartoon Research Library (the entrance is just north of the Wexner Center's main entrance, along the sidewalk under the "grid").
