Fred Wilson Exhibition Opens at Neuberger Museum on 3/19

The Fred Wilson exhibition at the Neuberger Museum of Art features a survey of the artist's career from 1995 to the present, and a site-specific installation created in direct response to the Museum and its community. The show is on view from March 19 through July 30.

Wilson did extensive research into the Museum's collection and archives, and created an artistic intervention in its exhibition spaces that explores hidden agendas and how power is perpetuated by society's institutions. The artist gives prominence to diversity and considers how it is articulated within the context of a museum.

The Neuberger Museum of Art opened on the campus of Purchase College, SUNY, in 1974 with a core collection donated by one of the greatest private collectors, philanthropists, and arts advocates of the twentieth century, Roy R. Neuberger. Today, the Neuberger is more active and vibrant than ever. Critically acclaimed exhibitions and a wealth of educational tours, lectures, and interactive programs engage the many parts of our broad community. The Neuberger is a center of teaching and learning for all stages of life.

The Museum is located at 735 Anderson Hill Road in Purchase, N.Y. (Westchester)
