This exhibition honors the singular vision and dedication of the determined woman whose name the art school bore. Neibert Chouinard started out with nothing but her love for young artists and their creative spirit and her generous need to offer them encouragement and training.The number and diversity of well-known artists who passed through Chouinard remains astounding crossing at least three generations: first Millard Sheets, Lorser Feitelson, Emerson Woelffer, Frederick Hammersley and later John Altoon, Robert Irwin, Connor Everts, Joe Goode, Ed Ruscha, Llyn Foulkes, John Mason and the next generation Chuck Arnoldi,Mary Corse, Larry Bell, Allen Ruppersberg, Tom Wudl, Elsea Rady to mention a few. They embody our history from plein air impressionism to post surrealism, from Abstract Expressionism to Light and Space, from Pop and Minimalism to the Conceptualism of the early seventies.

Christensen's large-scale paintings, most often done directly on walls, range from rough graffiti-esque scrawls to smooth geometric stripes, designs and type ("Emergency Exit," "I will never make it"). This first monograph tracks Christensen from his native Denmark to Berlin, Basel and the Prague Biennial, exploring his work as artist, curator and critic.

This married couple, each with a strikingly distinct body of work, has been selected to represent Denmark at the Danish Pavilion for the Venice Biennale in 2001 as their distinguished art seems more relevant now than ever. Ursula’s sustained work on expressive and narrative elements within paintings, objects, film, and ceramics has been a crucial force to the revival of painting as a narrative existential medium. And Henning, with his continued reworking and development of the fluxus concept within his compositions, sound works, objects, and actions, has maintained an artistic practice with a newly relevant social discourse.

During 1948-1951 a group of artists from three Northern European countries organized and issued a manifesto under the collective title “CoBrA” from Copenhagen, Brussels & Amsterdam. The group was involved within the context of the social, political, economic, and cultural chaos of postwar Europe, and also reponded to a variety of theories and ideas which had gained currency during the first half of the century. Cobra disbanded as a formal entity in 1951, but the works of this exhibtion, which range from 1940 to the early 1970’s, show that its brief existence had a tremendous impact on the later artists who participated in it, as well as on following generations.
