HYPERALLERGIC PODCAST
Our interactive installation #dancelab seems to be a hit. Open less than a week, there have already been 3,000 dances!
What is #dancelab?
A collaboration between the DAM, Wonderbound dance company, and Legwork Studio, #dancelab is a participatory dance experience, where you, the visitor, are invited to follow dance steps choreographed exclusively for this installation. Then see your movements projected in large format, into an MTV-like music video for all to see. No dance experience or skills are needed.
If you prefer, you also can read this in English.
Gracias a una beca del Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), el Denver Art Museum trabajará con cuatro artistas locales para presentar el programa Cuatro [4]: A Series of Artist Interactions durante el próximo año. Los artistas crearán proyectos inspirados en nuestra colección de arte precolombino y arte colonial español. Nos complace darle la bienvenida al primer artista de la serie, Carlos Frésquez, un artista célebre chicano y nativo de Denver.
Katherine Dunham (depicted above), Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova, Fred Astaire, and Martha Graham are a few of the acclaimed dancers and personalities that have enthralled audiences over this past century. These and many more famed dancers are exquisitely depicted by American artists in this Denver Art Museum exhibition Rhythm & Roots: Dance in American Art.
For this month’s Untitled, we’re joining in on the action of Women of Abstract Expressionism and celebrating an amazing collection of female artists and women warriors from Denver and beyond. Get ready for a night of laughs, drama, and good times at Untitled: Power House.
Talks and Tours
The Denver Art Museum is showcasing a first-of-its-kind exhibition and you won’t want to miss it. Women of Abstract Expressionism, on view June 12−September 25, features 12 women artists who were often overlooked by an art movement defined by men.
Even before it opens, Women of Abstract Expressionism received major media coverage. And for her years of work putting this exhibition together, DAM curator Gwen Chanzit was recently named one of 16 Female Curators Shaking Things Up in 2016.
As visitors race to experience the final days of the Denver Art Museum exhibition Samurai: Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Collection, we highlight a piece from the show that features a race of another sort. The room-dividing, folding screen, or byōbu (shown above), features a famous scene from samurai history.
Racing into History
Celebrate Japanese culture and pop culture throughout the Denver Art Museum with a collection of unique experiences. I'm Andrew Novick, and I've curated detours, performances, demos, snacks, and fun with my own vision and determination. You can start by creating a samurai helmet or mask and proceed through Untitled: Rising Sun in the way of the samurai....
Learning Ancient Secrets
Nuestra cuentista, Laura Slack, ha relatado historias acerca de las obras de arte de DAM por más de un año durante nuestro programa Cuentos del Arte, el cual se lleva a cabo el primer sábado de cada mes durante CelebrARTE. ¡Este verano, Laura contará sus cuentos en español! Laura es muy graciosa, energética y llena de sorpresas. El mes pasado tuve el placer de charlar con Laura acerca de su carrera como cuentista y su experiencia en DAM. Esto es lo que aprendí:
