Cleveland Museum of Art’s reinstalls contemporary art galleries with focus on artistic forms, social issues Updated 5:30 AM; Facebook Share CLEVELAND, Ohio The trustees of the Cleveland Museum of Art took a dim view of modern and contemporary art half a century ago. Today, after decades in which the museum revved up its interest in new art, it’s a different story. With more than 750 works in its growing collection of contemporary art, the museum has enough bandwidth to periodically refresh the roomy contemporary galleries in its East Wing with new arrangements of strong works by leading figures from around the world.

It comes dressed in many forms: fibre art, tapestry, weaving, embroidery, knitting, and often spreads beyond the borders of art into fashion, design, science and technology. ....
Aaron Sorkin Great art will be made from this time, about this time, inspired by this time. While we wait for that to emerge, we asked 75 artists to open up about their creative travails and triumphs a year into the pandemic. The questions we asked them are ones you may be asking yourself: Did you make anything that mattered? Who and what comforted you? Which moments will you remember? Which ideas would you like to forget? What would a do-over look like? And what’s still on your to-do list as “normal” comes into focus? Through interviews and written answers, edited and collected here, they let us into the life of a creative mind in quarantine. But they asked to share one caveat: “Obsessing over what it did to ....
