the proliferation of steam engines and whaling ships to the military and political
battles at home and abroad-unfold across more than 100 works that reveal Turner's

contemporary subjects in a revolutionary style-an accomplishment that established

Amon Carter - Sandy Rodriguez in Isolation
Exhibition on Display: Through April 17, 2022
Explore the healing power of art through Sandy Rodriguez in Isolation,
featuring 30 new works on paper created by the Los Angeles–based painter during
her recent Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency in Southern California. Impacted
by the rapid news cycle of rising COVID-19 fatalities and nationwide demonstrations
against police brutality, Rodriguez turned to the surrounding desert as a guide for
her response. She collected botanical specimens native to the region with medicinal
and utilitarian applications, which she studied, painted, then processed as handmade
paints to create possibilities for healing past and present trauma through the
recovery of Indigenous knowledge systems.

The Modern - FOCUS: Jill Magid
Exhibition on Display: January 21, 2022 - March 20, 2022
Throughout Jill Magid's career, she has carried out extraordinary tasks for her
projects. The Brooklyn-based artist inserts herself into established systems of
control to engage them from within. As part of her approach to artmaking, she
has trained as a spy, police officer, and journalist to be embedded in Afghanistan.
Magid creates space within institutions of power where individual agency can
flourish, ultimately destabilizing set rules and regulations in favor of new,
more equitable relationships. For her exhibition at the Modern, Magid will show
new works, including drawing, sculpture, and installation, alongside the film
Tender Balance, 2021, and related works developed for the 2021 exhibition
