Newsflash! The UW Parking Garage is free today – it’s a work holiday. That means the doors are open and you can park there WITHOUT PAYING $15! Come on down! We’re open! But we are closed tomorrow, yes indeed. Happy Independence Day. Do something liberating!

Every Wednesday, the Henry staff meets. We talk about what’s coming up, new ideas, and plan new programs as a team – and often, we talk about The Big Picture. This morning, Henry Director Sylvia Wolf posed these questions: What does it mean to be a risk-taking institution? How do we take risks...
Tom Brush

Tom Brush Did it used to mean "I like it, but the rich donor types won't?" :-)
Artists with dedicated followings = no risk. Everyone, from casual art fans to major patrons, expects to be challenged occasionally by abstraction, ready-mades, taboo, rejection of technical virtuosity, and other deconstructions/affronts.
Showing obscure artists with static, inaccessible styles who insist on presentation without context is probably the clearest risk. Everything else is just diversity in programming.

Henry Art Gallery

Henry Art Gallery is asking YOU - what constitutes "risk-taking" for a contemporary art museum?

How about letting the art speak for itself by not mounting any text panels?
Henry Art Gallery
Henry Art Gallery
Great answers - and a great contribution to many current staff conversations. Thank you! I especially like "following the artists' lead." @Seth, - good point, and FYI - the Henry does mount pretty minimal texts, and those that are posted are definitely not "We think this, and you should, too." It's one of the things I like most about the Henry.

Anna Rybat amazing art. i'm so impressed!
