The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of Anselm Kiefer: Velimir Chlebnikov, the most ambitious outdoor exhibition in the Museums history on view to the public May 27 through October 1, 2006. The exhibition will feature a series of thirty paintings housed in a purpose-built pavilion that recreates the dimensions and character of Kiefers own atelier in France. The paintings and the pavilion are Kiefers tribute to the visionary Russian thinker Velimir Chlebnikov (1885-1922), who lived a brief and tumultuous life as a leading figure in the Russian avant-garde during World War I and the Russian revolution. The paintings cast Chlebnikovs ideas in the theater of the historic sea battle, incorporating actual model ships into the surfaces of his paintings.

In addition to Anselm Kiefer: Velimir Chlebnikov, The Aldrich is pleased to open two new exhibitions including Land Mine, featuring the work of three artists, Laleh Khorramian, Wangechi Mutu, and Michael Zansky, in addition to a solo project by Julian Opie, Sara dancing sparkly top.
