2016 Annual Report

Oklahoma State Unversity (OSU) is committed to maintaining a learning environment that is free from discriminatory conduct based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual

orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or protected veteran status. OSU does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs

and activities. Examples of sexual misconduct and/or sex discrimination include: sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and intimate partner

violence, stalking, or gender-based discrimination. OSU encourages any student who thinks that he or she may have been a victim of sexual misconduct or sexual

discrimination to immediately report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator (campus contacts below). Students may also report incidents of sexual misconduct or

sex discrimination to a faculty or sta member, who is then required by federal law (Title IX) to notify the Title IX or Deputy Title IX Coordinator. If a reporting student

would like to keep the details conﬁdential, the student may speak with sta in the Student Counseling Center (405-744-5472) or the University’s Victim Advocate

(Suzanne Burks: 405-744-5458). For more information regarding Title IX violations, please go to: http://1is2many.okstate.edu. This publication, issued by Oklahoma

State University as authorized by the director of the OSU Museum of Art, was printed by CareerTech at a cost of $150.00. 10 / February 2017 #6393

FROM THE BELLY OF OUR BEING: ART BY AND ABOUT NATIVE CREATION

Sept. 27, 2016 – Jan. 28, 2017 | Reception: Oct. 25, 2016

This exhibition showcases contemporary Indigenous women

working in sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, painting and instal-

lation whose art is known to honor the female deities in the

artists’ tribal genesis stories. The exhibition explores how

these feminine forces continue to impact current ideals about

female behavior and gender roles.

OKLAHOMA AND BEYOND: SELECTIONS FROM THE GEORGE R. KRAVIS II COLLECTION

Feb. 28, 2017 – July 8, 2017 | Reception: March 2, 2017

Including more than 40 works, this exhibition looks at pri-

vate art collecting through history and the eyes of Tulsa col-

lector George R. Kravis II. While Kravis’s design collection

is nationally renowned, his ﬁne art collection has rarely been

exhibited. The selection of paintings, works on paper, sculp-

ture, and furniture is accompanied by pairings of the col-

lector’s comments and anecdotes about his collection with

discussions on the collecting and the critical reception of

modern and contemporary art.

THE ART OF ASIAN LANGUAGES

April 4, 2017 – June 10, 2017 | Reception: April 4, 2017

This exhibition explores intersections of art and language in

East Asian culture through contemporary Asian art. Examples

include both Asian characters, which are image based, with the

Western alphabet, whose letters signify sounds. Representing

a variety of styles, media, and presentation modes, the art-

works demonstrate the ﬂuid boundaries between written

language and art. The works further respond to recent changes

in Asian politics and social environments as well as conveying

the complex cultural heritage. Through offering the opportu-

nity experience Eastern and Western cultural perspectives, the

exhibition seeks to raise awareness about various global issues.

The third in our New York Project, a series of exhibitions

bringing the work of major New York artists to Oklahoma,

Kiki Smith: Paper Trails will present a selection of the art-

ists’ drawings and prints, accented with sculpture from var-

ious periods. Heralded as one of the most distinctive voices

of her generation, Smith has been preoccupied with consider-

cally, culturally, historically, and personally. This exhibition

highlights Smith’s passion for paper as she has explored the

female condition.

ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG’S WORLD

Jan. 31 – June 10, 2017

Robert Rauschenberg’s World introduces two major paint-

ings by Robert Rauschenberg (1925 – 2008) recently loaned

to the OSU Museum of Art. One of the most inﬂuential art-

ists of the second half of the twentieth century, Rauschenberg

used radical mixtures of methods with traditional art mate-

rials and found objects to create collage-like compositions

drawn from mass media and popular culture.

These two large-scale paintings mark another period of inno-

vation. Between 1990 and 1991, the artist introduced paint-

ing or silkscreening with a mixture of wax and pigment onto

polished stainless sheets and used heat to ﬁx them.

The two paintings will anchor a series of exhibitions that

incorporate changing selections of works from the perma-

nent collection by Rauschenberg contemporaries.
