Daniel Gordon wins the Foam Paul Huf Award, Allan McCollum’s wooden shapes go to Idaho, Maya Lin maps lost species, and more in this week’s roundup.
- Daniel Gordon has won the 2014 Foam Paul Huf Award, awarded each year to a young, talented photographer under the age of 35. Gordon was selected from a pool of 100 candidates from across the globe. He will receive €20,000 and an exhibition at the Foam Museum in Amsterdam.
- Carrie Mae Weems’s photography is on view at Gallery Paule Anglim (San Francisco, CA). In Subject & Witness Weems makes “reference to the past through costume, objects and historical sites” and provides “an opportunity to test our memories and to look at human relationships as they function today.” Closes April 18.
- Josephine Halvorson is an artist-in-residence at the University of Puget Sound (Puget Sound, WA). Living Art , the university’s visiting artist series, allows students, staff, and faculty to learn from and develop relationships with artists who interact with them through lectures, demonstrations, one-on-one meetings, and critiques. Halvorson will participate in a panel discussion on March 26 at 4pm, and give a talk on March 27 at 7pm.
- Allan McCollum’s Shapes project is included in the group exhibition Creativity at Work at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts (Ketchum, ID). For each iteration of Shapes, McCollum works with businesses near the exhibition venue. For Shapes from Idaho, Sun Valley Center worked with Bellevue-based Jason Georgiades of JG Works to create 144 wooden signs, each featuring a unique shape from McCollum’s system. Closes May 24.
- Mike Kelley, the traveling retrospective exhibition, will open at the Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (California) on March 31. Occupying the entirety of the Geffen, the show brings together over 250 works made by Kelley between 1974 and 2012. Closes July 28.
- Maya Lin’s online project What is Missing? presents a dot-based map of the world, with each dot representing a species or plants that has disappeared. According to the website, the project’s mission is to “create, through science-based artworks, an awareness of this current crisis, connecting the disappearance of species to primary causes—habitat degradation and loss.” Online visitors are invited to contribute personal memories to the project.
