Sean Kelly is pleased to announce that an early neon work by Joseph Kosuth will be included in Sparking Dialogue, the inaugural exhibition of the Eunice and Julian Cohen Galleria in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. The much anticipated unveiling of the Linde Family Wing will be celebrated by twenty-four hours of events beginning with ticketed parties on September 17 and culminating in a free open house on September 18.
Sparking Dialogue is the first of a series of thematic exhibitions to be installed in the Linde Family Wing. Fittingly, Sparking Dialogue unites text-based, thought-provoking works to inaugurate a wing that combines exhibition walls with a lively social space designed to foster the discussion of contemporary art. Inspired by the Museum's keystone work in the Eunice and Julian Cohen Galleria - the scrolling LED Truisms by Jenny Holzer (1991) - this exhibition will include more than a dozen pieces by other international artists in addition to Joseph Kosuth, including Kay Rosen, Kader Attia, Claire Fontaine and Tracey Emin.
The Linde Family Wing, named in recognition of the generosity of Museum benefactors Joyce Linde and her late husband, Edward Linde, and their family, includes seven new galleries that will present innovative approaches to the exhibition of contemporary art within the context of the Museum’s encyclopedic collections, offering new perspectives and encouraging connections between art of the past and present.
