Michael Auping, Chief Curator at the Modern, has consistently made time to talk with artists about the nature of their work throughout his thirty-year career. Observations, memories, and stories from years of studio visits and conversations have culminated in Auping’s most recent book, 30 Years: Interviews and Outtakes. For Tuesday Evenings Auping highlights some of these “interviews and outtakes” while giving a sense of the relationships and insights art has afforded him as he has worked with some of the world’s most creative and interesting individuals.

6 pm - Reception and book signing
7 pm - Lecture
Melissa Miller, an Austin-based artist, is known for her enchanting and sometimes perplexing allegorical paintings of animals that serve as metaphors for human behaviors and circumstances. These beautifully rendered and thoughtfully conceived paintings are the subject of a recently published monograph, Melissa Miller. With text by Susie Kalil and an essay by Michael Duncan, the book spans Miller’s work from the 1970s to paintings made within the past few years. For Tuesday Evenings Miller presents the thoughts and images captured in the book as well as her most recent work.
September 25
HeHe is a collective founded in France by UK artist Helen Evans and German artist Heiko Hansen. Recognized internationally with the 2001 CyNet Art Award, HeHe is based on a commitment to renovation and creation that recognizes the strength of past design in its exploration for new innovations. HeHe’s work is concerned with social and cultural issues as it strives to reshape existing technology into new critical usage with the spectator as its epicenter. For Tuesday Evenings Evans and Hansen offer a gaseous definition of transport and pollution making from a cultural perspective as they present Pollution & Transport Making.
October 2
Mona Hatoum is a British/Palestinian artist splitting her time between London and Berlin. Recognized in the 1980s for visceral performances that focused with intensity on the artist’s own body, Hatoum has since become known for a minimal aesthetic and her use of a diverse array of materials to create installations and objects that cunningly twist traditional notions of art and the world. For Tuesday Evenings Hatoum presents her poetic, often baffling, but always compelling art that has so rightfully won significant critical acclaim.
October 9
Julie Eizenberg, of Koning Eizenberg Architecture Santa Monica, California, is a licensed architect in California and Australia. She is recognized for her expertise involving cities, educational institutions, and private developments and as an astute observer and institutional iconoclast. Her investigations have reshaped thoughts about the conventional buildings of everyday living. Having recently completed a book titled Architecture Isn’t Just for Special Occasions, Eizenberg brings her expertise in the nature and practice of architecture to Tuesday Evenings at the Modern.
October 16
Cauleen Smith is an artist, screenwriter, filmmaker, and art writer currently living in Boston, where she teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art. Smith is known for her provocative films, screenplays, and installations that deal with historical and cultural translations of the time and space between North America and Africa. Her films have been screened at impressive venues including the Sundance Film Festival and the Studio Museum in Harlem. For Tuesday Evenings Smith presents Open Spaces and the In-Between.
October 23
Alfredo Jaar is an artist, architect, and filmmaker stationed in New York. His work has been shown extensively around the world, including in the Venice, São Paulo, Johannesburg, Sydney, Istanbul, Seville, Kwangju, and Brighton Biennials, as well as Documenta in Kassel. Known for his six-year Rwanda Project, which brought much-needed attention to the genocide of Rwanda and the criminal indifference exhibited by the world, Jaar’s work strives to make a difference as socially minded installations and projects focus on overlooked or dismissed issues and locations. His most recent work focuses on Angola. For Tuesday Evenings Jaar presents IT IS DIFFICULT.
October 30
Charles Long is an artist based in Los Angeles known for his collaborations with the British pop band Stereolab and, more recently, for his inventive freestanding sculptures derived from a keen awareness of the world around him. Living and working in Los Angeles for the past five years, Long has come to think of the LA River as a found object. As the location of his studio since 2003, Long has used his daily experience with the essentially ignored and ever-changing force of the river as inspiration for an ongoing body of work, which he presents in knowirds.
November 6
Michael Auping, the Modern’s Chief Curator, brings Declaring Space: Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein to Fort Worth. The works created by these artists had a dramatic effect on the complex development of space and color in abstract painting as it evolved in the years following World War II. For Tuesday Evenings Auping provides insight into these artists’ profound influence on a set of spatial themes evoked in abstract art in the latter half of the twentieth century, which led to the engagement of what Auping terms as “a new realm of abstract theater.”
November 13
Callum Innes, an artist living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland, is known for his meditative process of applying and removing paint until he achieves the perfect balance of give-and-take in his monochrome works. Short-listed for the 1995 Turner Prize and similarly recognized throughout his career, Innes’s paintings are pure in their approach while complex in their effect. The Modern’s collection includes Exposed Painting: Mars Black, 2002, part of a series for which Innes has become known. For Tuesday Evenings Innes presents his entire body of serene and enigmatic paintings.
