Upcoming Exhibitions

This intimate exhibition of approximately 11 works by Maryland-based artist Annet Couwenberg reveals the intersection of science, art, technology, and history that makes textiles such a fascinating art form.

Tomás Saraceno is creating an ambitious, site-specific installation that will be suspended across the BMA’s recently renovated East Lobby. The composition combines clusters of iridescent-paneled spheres with a sweeping “spiderweb” of black ropes that will be woven onsite across a two-story open area bordered by the lobby staircase and mezzanine.

For 40 years, Al Loving experimented with materials and process to expand the definition of modern painting, drawing on everything from free jazz to his family’s quilting tradition. In the 1980s, Loving broke free of the flat image, using heavy rag paper to make three dimensional collages in brilliant colors. Spiral Play features 12 of these collages, some of them monumental in scale.

Los Angeles-based artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby will debut a suite of new paintings that draw upon her experience of moving from Nigeria to the United States, maintaining ties to her family in Nigeria, and building relationships in America.
