Side by side pictures of visual artists Gretchen Bender, Tomashi Jackson, Steve McQueen and Taryn Simon

The galleries are back! Exhibitions are now on view through December 27. We're excited to share with audiences a mix of archived work and world premieres: Aggressive Witness—Active Participant by Gretchen Bender, one of the earliest works commissioned by the Wex; Tomashi Jackson's Love Rollercoaster, a collection of five brand new canvases inspired by voter suppression and disenfranchisement in Ohio; Steve McQueen's rarely seen neon installation Remember Me; and Taryn Simon's Assembled Audience, a sound installation making only its second institutional appearance and made entirely of audio captured at performance venues around Columbus.

Would you like to know more about the artists? We have a beautiful gallery guide on site and we'll be sharing writings about them over the fall (We also have one more show to debut in the lower lobby: Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese: Political Advertisement X 1952–2020, coming October 26). In the meantime, below you'll find links to recent interviews with Jackson, McQueen, and Simon; in the case of Bender, who passed away in 2004, there's a talk featuring a representative of her estate, writer and curator Cay Sophie Rabinowitz.
