In Colonel Platoff on his Charger, 2008, painter Kehinde Wiley renders a centuries-old statement of prestige and authority—a man astride a powerful horse—with an insightful, contemporary twist. Wiley re-creates an 1815 image of a Russian Cossack colonel, but he replaces the military leader with a modern Black youth in street clothes. Learn some of what Wiley suggests with such a substitution. Led by a Modern docent.
ONLINE EVENT
Performed in the Modern's auditorium, “A Bridge of Searing Beauty,” the virtual Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth concert will present two composers whose works are rarely performed. The music of Frank Bridge (1879-1941) is beautiful in a highly romantic way and a great contrast to the classical style of Chevalier de St. George (1845-1899). Not only was there great contrast in their musical styles but in their lives, as well.

In hanabi-ra, 2002, Tabaimo uses animation to create a visual haiku relating the cycles of nature to the cycles of human life. This video takes its title from a Japanese phrase meaning "flower petal" and depicts a garden inside a human body. The garden undergoes various seasonal changes, and eventually the figure dissolves, leaving behind only pieces of paper.
Modern Contemporaries members (The Modern’s Under-Forty Friends!) are invited to join Michael Auping, former chief curator at the Modern, for a special look at the Museum’s newest exhibition, Mark Bradford: End Papers, which he guest-curated. Enjoy a relaxed evening of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a private, after-hours tour of the exhibition. Members will have the rare opportunity to ask Michael questions in an informal setting to learn more about Mark Bradford, the significance of this body of work, and how it came to be at the Modern.
