XUHONG SHANG
Xuhong Shang, a Shanghai-born painter, photographer, and international
artist will create a new installation of his work for the Muskegon Museum
of Art. Shang has exhibited his work both internationally and throughout
this country and is known for his visually lush conceptual and abstract
paintings, installations that explore many of the paradoxes of
representation and reality, and for his photography that focuses on the
edge between the reality and the visual, metaphor and meaning, and
which heightens the relationship between the viewer and the art form.

HERMAN MILLER:
ART WITH A PURPOSE
An exclusive nationally touring exhibi-tion, organized by the Muskegon
Museum of Art with its inaugural show-ing in 2009, that explores the
collaborative design enterprise at Herman Miller, Inc., the Zeeland,
Michigan-based company that has used design to solve problems for
the home and workplace for almost ninety years, while, at the same
time, creating the icons of modern design that are infused throughout
the culture today. The exhibition showcases archival holdings of
concept models, drawings and completed masterworks of design in
furniture and the decorative arts. This exhibition has been created and
is circulated by the Muskegon Museum of Art, Muskegon, Michigan in
association with The Henry Ford, Dearborn, Michigan. It is supported in
part by a grant from Herman Miller, Inc. The national tour dates will run
from Janu-ary 2010 through December 2013.
