It's time for the Denver Art Museum to think local
For all of its accomplishments over the past decade — assembling a formidable Impressionism collection, establishing itself as fashion powerhouse, overhauling its galleries — the Denver Art Museum still has some ground to cover when it comes to serving artists on its own turf.
That said, it’s a different day at DAM, and there are fresh possibilities. Rory Padeken, the museum’s new curator of modern and contemporary art, is just days on the job. He takes on an important position that calls for overseeing a growing collection of art from the past two centuries and staging shows that connect the institution’s customers to the living artists of our time. Contemporary art makes encyclopedic museums relevant.
His work does it all, connecting the dots between serious figures in art history and the graffiti and street artists who push the definitions of expression in our own age. His installations can be romantic, sexy, political and very violent, but it is all brought together by a daunting level of skill rendered via paintbrush, spray can and cutting knife. Both his content and his process are complicated mysteries that keep viewers enthralled.Suchitra Mattai is in the middle of her artistic moment.
