Organized by Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought and presented in partnership with Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN is the first comprehensive posthumous retrospective for the Louisianaborn artist, Tina Girouard, and showcases over forty years of the artist’s practice.

THE FIRST BLUE DOG (FLOOR 3)

George Rodrigue was a Louisiana painter known for his depictions of the landscape and people of Acadiana, as well as his later Pop Art paintings featuring the figure of a blue dog. This painting, Watchdog from 1983, was the first ever painting in what would become known as the Blue Dog series.

SEE THE SOUTH

SOUTHLAND (FLOOR 3)

Southland examines the role photographs have played in the visualization of the natural landscape of the American South. The exhibition explores the many technical and aesthetic methods photographers have employed in approaching the subject of the Southern Landscape. Highlighting the marshlands in Louisiana, the beaches of Florida, the flatlands of the Mississippi Delta and the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia, the exhibition shows the landscape of the American South is as diverse as the people of the region.

ON VIEW APR. 20 - SEPT. 22 2024

SOUTHERN ABSTRACTION (FLOOR 4)

From early innovators in oil to the contemporary vanguard of material exploration, this exhibition traces Southern abstract artists’ impact upon a critically important movement – widely considered to be America’s most significant contribution to art history. By including both 20th century and contemporary artists, academically trained and self-taught – this exhibition considers the legacy of Modernism in the American South.

ON VIEW MAR. 3 - OCT. 13, 2024

SOUTHERN CONTEMPORARY (FLOOR 4)

Southern Contemporary is an exhibition that brings together thirteen works of art created in the past twenty years by artists working in the American South, encouraging a dynamic conversation between the excitement of recent acquisitions and the familiarity of permanent collection highlights. Emerging artistic expressions across a variety of mediums and techniques are included alongside artworks by mid-career and established artists.
