Julie Mehretu: Grey Area
October 28, 2009–January 6, 2010
For the fifteenth project of Deutsche Guggenheim’s commission program, American artist Julie Mehretu will premiere a new suite of paintings. Inspired by a multitude of sources, including historical photographs, urban-planning grids, modernism, and graffiti, these semiabstract works explore the intersections of power, history, dystopia, and the built environment and their impact on the formation of personal and transcommunal identities.

Utopia Matters: From Brotherhoods to Bauhaus
January 22–April 11, 2010
Utopia Matters: From Brotherhoods to Bauhaus will examine a sequence of international case studies from the early nineteenth century through 1933, when the Bauhaus closed in Berlin and the ascendancy of Fascism and Stalinism curbed or negatively reframed artistic endeavors, and investigate the evolution of utopian ideas in modern Western artistic thought and practice.
