Check out the latest interactive prototype for the new ArtLens Gallery (formerly Gallery One) and help us test it! The new ArtLens Exhibition will be an experiential gallery that puts you, the viewer, into deeper conversation with masterpieces of art by using barrier-free technology that showcases art in the foreground. Scheduled to open in June 2017, this space will include all new interactives and installations of artwork from CMA’s collection.

Plus, see the NEW ArtLens Studio, which uses cutting-edge technology to give families the chance to use movement and play to connect with the CMA collection together. Newly reinstalled for CMA’s 2016 centennial, ArtLens Studio provides a unique introduction to the museum’s collection while building the foundations for visual literacy in the next generation of art connoisseurs.

4:00 – 4:50; Exhibition Tour: Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks, Beau Rutland, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art

Brooklyn-born artist Jean-Michel Basquiat filled numerous notebooks with poetry, wordplay, sketches, and personal observations ranging from street life and popular culture to themes of race, class, and world history. The first major exhibition of the artist’s notebooks, Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks features over 150 pages of these rarely seen documents, along with related works on paper and large-scale paintings.

A self-taught artist with wide-ranging interests, Basquiat was influenced by comics, advertising, popular culture, African American history, and everyday life. Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks emphasizes the distinct interplay of text and images in Basquiat’s art, providing unprecedented insight into the importance of language in the artist’s process.
