Listed below are some of the highlighted events. For more information, visit www.wexarts.org.

Exhibitions
September 17–January 3, Luc Tuymans
Experience the work of Belgian contemporary artist Luc Tuymans in his first U.S. retrospective — and the most comprehensive presentation of his art to date. Considered one of the most significant European painters of his generation, Tuymans (b. 1958) draws on both the historical traditions of Northern European painting and the more recent heritage of photography, cinema and television.

Luc Tuymans fills the entirety of the Wexner Center’s galleries and features key paintings from 1978 to the present. Jointly organized by the Wexner Center and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), it premieres at the Wexner Center and will then be shown at SFMOMA, before traveling to Dallas, Chicago and Brussels.

Curators for the exhibition are Helen Molesworth, currently at the Harvard Art Museum (and formerly chief curator of exhibitions at the Wexner Center), and Madeleine Grynsztejn, who currently heads the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (and was previously a curator at SFMOMA).

Susan Philipsz: The Shortest Shadow
The Shortest Shadow features two pieces by Susan Philipsz, whose work examines the sensory and environmental effects of sound, and of song. Philipsz (b. 1965), who is originally from Glasgow but now lives in Berlin, often uses her own unaccompanied voice as the instrument for her stripped down, atmospheric installations. Her selections of music range from Irish and American folk tunes to songs by the Beatles and PJ Harvey, reinterpreted to fill the carefully chosen spaces they occupy.

The Beaches of Agnès (Agnès Varda, 2008)
Sept. 17–18, 7 p.m.
A crucial player within post-war French cinema, Varda has produced one of the most inventive and lyrical autobiographies ever committed to film.

Three Monkeys (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2008) 
Sept. 24–25, 7 p.m.

The Turkish American Association of Central Ohio (TAACO) will host a reception following the screening on September 24.

Special Events
Members Screening
Herb & Dorothy (Megumi Sasaki, 2008)
Sept. 30, 7 p.m.

On the surface, Herb and Dorothy Vogel seem like ordinary middle-class New Yorkers; he worked as a postal clerk and she worked as a librarian. But since the early 1960s, the couple has managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in the world. Through interviews with Herb and Dorothy and many of the artists whose work they have collected, this charming documentary shows how this collection came to be.

Performing Arts
Dance
Kidd Pivot and Crystal Pite, Lost Action 
Sept. 29, 8 p.m., Thurber Theatre at Drake Performance and Event Center
Kidd Pivot is a superlative seven-member dance company from Canada led by choreographer and dancer Crystal Pite, a former member of William Forsythe’s famed Frankfurt Ballet who also currently serves as associate choreographer of the prestigious Nederlands Dans Theater. Her work Lost Action offers a dynamic rumination on love and loss that’s as emotionally charged as it is thrilling in its virtuosic physicality.
