COSTA MESA, CA, (January 10, 2023)<\/strong> \u2014 CEO and Director of the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) Heidi Zuckerman today announced the museum\u2019s 2023 program will include solo exhibitions dedicated to the artwork of Daniel Arsham, Jennifer Guidi, and Yu Ji. In 2023 OCMA will also present an exhibition of paintings by Alice Neel, the second iteration of the museum\u2019s inaugural collection installation 13 Women, and a special commission by Tony Lewis. These will be among the first exhibitions mounted at the new OCMA, which opened on October 8 on the campus of Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. The museum\u2019s new 53,000-square-foot building, designed by Morphosis under the direction of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne and Partner-in-Charge Brandon Welling, offers 25,000 square feet of gallery space for an inspiring and distinctive exhibition program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSince opening the doors to our new home three months ago, we have been delighted to welcome over 70,000 visitors to our inaugural exhibitions,\u201d said Zuckerman. \u201cWe\u2019re now looking ahead to 2023 when the museum will take advantage of the opportunity to be the first US museum to present solo exhibitions of Daniel Arsham, Jennifer Guidi, and Yu Ji\u2019s incredible bodies of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organized by Zuckerman, Daniel Arsham: Wherever You Go, There You Are (February 17\u2013May 28, 2023) will be on view in The Anton and Jennifer Segerstrom Permanent Collection Pavilion, Avenue of the Arts Gallery, James B. and Rosalyn L. Pick Gallery, and Visionaries Gallery. The exhibition features a survey of the American artist\u2019s work across all disciplines including sculpture, drawing, design, and installation. The Arsham exhibition will precede Alice Neel: Feels Like Home (June 23\u2013October 22, 2023), a selection of 40 paintings by one of the foremost American figurative painters of the twentieth century, organized by Courtenay Finn, OCMA Chief Curator. Concurrently, Yu Ji: A Guest, A Host, A Ghost (June 23\u2013October 22, 2023) will go on view in OCMA\u2019s James B. and Rosalyn L. Pick Gallery and Visionaries Gallery on the mezzanine level. Curated by Courtenay Finn, OCMA Chief Curator, A Guest, A Host, A Ghost comprises the first ten works in the Chinese artist\u2019s acclaimed ongoing series Flesh in Stone. OCMA will also present an installation by American artist Tony Lewis commissioned for OCMA\u2019s Avenue of the Arts Gallery. Building on the artist\u2019s ever-expanding engagement with drawing, Lewis will create a new site-responsive work that engages directly with the museum\u2019s architecture (June 23, 2023\u2013March 10, 2024).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jennifer Guidi: So it is. (September 15, 2023\u2013January 6, 2024), also curated by Zuckerman, will feature a survey of new work representing the American artist\u2019s layered painting practice in The Muzzy Family Special Exhibitions Pavilion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The museum will also continue its inaugural exhibition 13 Women (February 17\u2013August 20, 2023), which pays homage to the thirteen women who founded the Balboa Pavilion Gallery, the earliest iteration of OCMA, in The Muzzy Family Special Exhibitions. Rotating works in and out throughout the run of the show, 13 Women includes work by collection artists Chantal Joffe, Sharon Lockhart, Zanele Muholi, Rosa Navarro, Lorna Simpson, Mary Weatherford, and Carrie Mae Weems, among others. Commissioned for the opening of OCMA\u2019s new building, Of many waters… (2022) by Sanford Biggers, a 24-foot wide by 16-foot-tall multimedia outdoor sculpture will remain on view through August 13, 2023.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt continues to be incredible to watch our audiences engage with the new building, to watch it come alive as people move through the skybridges and galleries. The light-filled and open spaces have allowed us to tell stories across disciplines, materials, and timelines and to conceptualize history in new ways. This openness is at the center of what OCMA is about,\u201d said Finn.<\/p>\n
