The National Museum of Women in the Arts presents P(art)ners: Gifts
from the Heather and Tony Podesta Collection, an exhibition of 28
contemporary photographs and sculptures drawn from the more than 300
works the couple has donated to the museum. P(art)ners demonstrates
the Podestas' shared collecting vision and honors their participation
in the inaugural TEDWomen conference in Washington D.C.
The Podestas' collaborative collecting practice inspired the NMWA
staff to hand them the curatorial reins for this exhibition. The two
have articulated the themes for P(art)ners and selected the works.
Images of the female body or allusions to it (such as seen in G-Force
Dive, a witty sculpture by E.V. Day (American, b. 1967) made from
women's thong underwear stretched into the shape of fighter jets) present
multiple views of contemporary feminine identity.
These works exploring the female body are paired with photographs of
architecture. Although they are built by and for people, the interior
spaces lack human presence and appear surprisingly abstract. The
Podestas note that images of constructed environments complement those
of the human figure: "They are what remain of us when we're not
there."
Heather and Tony Podesta each head their own government relations firm
in Washington, D.C., but they travel to contemporary art fairs and
biennials around the world to discover outstanding new artists.
P(art)ners features a striking series of photographs about travel by
Nicoletta Munroe (American, b. 1968). For her "Paris Métro" series,
Munroe, who has also worked as an art director in Hollywood, shot the
brightly colored seats on the platforms of Paris's subway system. The
rows of seats seem to stand in for the people who fill the stations
each day.

UnNaturally features over 40 visually stunning works by fifteen
artists who employ artificial materials to create simulations of
nature that explore the frequently blurred boundary between culture
and our environment, raising provocative questions about the mediated
environment in which we live. UnNaturally plays on our nostalgia for
an idealized pre-industrial past in which human beings and nature
coexisted harmoniously in an unspoiled landscape.

Allan deSouza, Keith Edmier, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Jason
