Driving the American Dream: 1970s Car Design

June 15 – September 14, 2024

Highlighting the era of Expo ’74, join us as we wax nostalgic about cars from the 1970s. We’ll consider design trends and changes in the world that ushered in a new age of automaking in the United States. We’ll look with fresh eyes at some of the “funky rides,” classic cars often overlooked but stuck in America’s collective memory. This summer, roll through the 70s with the MAC!

Joe Feddersen: Earth, Water, Sky

September 28, 2024 – January 5, 2025

Joe Feddersen: Earth, Water, Sky showcases the breadth of the artist’s 40-year career, including printmaking, glass, weaving, and ceramics. Moving fluidly among media, Feddersen has cultivated a visual vernacular that draws upon recognizable signs, symbols, and forms. He transforms the familiar into a world of juxtapositions that confront how we see, use, and treat the natural world. In so doing, Feddersen foregrounds his Plateau-Native viewpoint that values our interconnected relationships in the landscape. From miniatures to wall-sized installations, the exhibition features over 100 works and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue.
