The University of Trash, a project by Michael Cataldi and Nils Norman
May 10 - August 3, 2009
The University of Trash is an experiment in alternative architecture, urbanism, and pedagogy produced through SculptureCenter's Artist-in-Residence program. Drawing from utopian ideals and radical urban projects undertaken since the 1960s, the artists have created an installation that functions as a temporary, makeshift University - hosting courses, lectures, presentations, and workshops. Five collaborations occupy distinct and specially designed architectural spaces in SculptureCenter's central gallery and courtyard. Working with students, artists, local organizations, activists, and academics, the University consists of a complex of multiple departments and interactions both onsite and off. A Free Skool program will operate within the University, offering the public the opportunity to propose their own courses - open and free for all who sign up and attend throughout the duration of the exhibition.

Rashid Johnson: Smoke and Mirrors
May 10 - August 3, 2009
For his first solo museum show in New York, Rashid Johnson will present a number of new large-scale sculptural works that suggest altars, entertainment consoles, or constructivist-like abstractions alongside photographs and works in other media. Considered one of the up and coming artists whose work has been termed "post-black", Johnson engages with racial identity but in ways that insist on fluidity and contradiction. Johnson uses materials such as steel, poured wax, and shea butter, while juxtaposing relics and artifacts in an approach that flirts with the shamanistic.
