New Works
A Juried Exhibition of Works by Members of the Artspace Artists Association
March 14 – April 25, 2009

New Works is an annual juried exhibition for members of the Artspace Artists Association. The Artspace Artists Association is a professional artist membership organization. Artists are accepted into the membership through a jury process that occurs twice per year. The exhibit represents work created within the past twelve months. It is an opportunity for Artspace Artists to present their most current and innovative work.

Trevor Schoonmaker is the juror for this year’s New Works exhibit. Schoonmaker is Curator of Contemporary Art at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. His first exhibition at the Nasher was Street Level: Mark Bradford, William Cordova & Robin Rhode in 2007, which traveled to the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. In 2008 he organized the retrospective exhibition Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool, which is traveling to the Studio Museum in Harlem, Santa Monica Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston. He is currently organizing the international group exhibition, The Record, for the Nasher in October, 2009. Prior to joining the Nasher, Schoonmaker was organizer of numerous exhibitions including The Magic City (2000), Black President: The Art and Legacy of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti (2003-2005), DTroit (2003–2004), Propeller (2005), and The Beautiful Game: Contemporary Art and Fútbol (2006). Schoonmaker has curated, written, and lectured on contemporary art for many institutions, including the Barbican Centre London, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, Detroit Institute of Arts, New Museum of Contemporary Art, Seattle Art Museum, Studio Museum in Harlem, Tate Britain, Urbis, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. He is the editor of Fela: From West Africa to West Broadway (2003).

Schoonmaker will be selecting work for exhibition as well as award recipients. The Award Presentation will begin at 8pm in Gallery 1 during the First Friday Gallery Walk reception, April 3.
