Featured Exhibition

With work by more than 20 artists and collectives from diverse international backgrounds, the exhibition In __ We Trust addresses this complex nature of money, as well as, its relationship to art. Works in the exhibition take currency as a material or subject, involve transactions, precious materials, and alternative forms of exchange. Anchored by select pieces from previous decades, the exhibition focuses on work made since the 2008 financial crisis. On view October 3, 2014 - March 1, 2015.

Dec 18, 2014

For Immediate Release:December 17, 2014 Media Contact:Nancy Colvin, 614.629.0303 nancy.colvin@cmaohio.org COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART AND THE #JJ COMMUNITYUNVEIL LARGEST MOBILE PHOTO EXHIBITION (Columbus, OH) The Columbus (OH) Museum of Art and the #jj Community present #MobilePhotoNow, the largest mobile photography exhibition ever organized by a museum, February 6 March 22, 2015. #MobilePhotoNow highlights the emerging art form of mobile photography and the impact of social media and smart phones as a means of creative expression. One of our goals at the Museum is to foster creativity, said Nannette V. Maciejunes, CMA Executive Director. #MobilePhotoNow speaks to that goal and to our commitment to innovation and our belief in the transformative power of art. Smart phones and social media have dramatically changed photography, said Jennifer Poleon, CMA Digital Communications Manager and organizer for #MobilePhotoNow. People all over the world can experiment, create and connect thanks to the camera we carry in our pockets. #MobilePhotoNow is the next evolution in CMAs ongoing initiative to connect people to art and each other. In 2012, CMA was the first museum to present an exhibition drawn entirely from Instagram. CMA used its critically acclaimed exhibition The Radical Camera: New Yorks Photo League, 1936 1951 as the inspiration for a series of photo hunts. The prompts, based on the assignments the original Photo League artists gave one another, generated more than 800 submissions and gave life to an installation of 30 works in the Museums Community Gallery.The energy generated by the Photo Hunts attracted the attention of Josh Johnson whose #jj on Instagram is one of the worlds largest and most active communities of photographers. CMA and #jj Community partnered throughout October to post themed photo challenges that engaged the mobile photography community. More than 5,000 photographers from 89 different countries submitted nearly 45,000 images. The resulting exhibition, co-presented by CMA and #JJ, will feature more than 300 images from nearly 230 photographers representing 40 different countries.
