Nasher reveals artists for 2010's The Record

Our excitement about the Nasher Museum's future exhibition The Record, slate for Aug. 2010, just skyrocketed with the announcement of a partial list of featured artists. An effort of the museum's Curator for Contemporary Art Trevor Schoonmaker, the show will explore the record's unique cultural and artistic role.

Check out the artists that made the list:

Laurie Anderson (b. 1947 USA), Felipe Barbosa (b. 1978 Brazil), David Byrne (b. 1952 Scotland), William Cordova (b. 1971 Peru), Satch Hoyt (b. 1975 UK), Jasper Johns (b. 1930 USA), Taiyo Kimura (b. 1970 Japan), Christian Marclay (b. 1955 USA), David McConnell (b. 1975 USA), Mingering Mike (b. 1950 USA), Dave Muller (b. 1964 USA), Robin Rhode (b. 1976 South Africa), Dario Robleto (b. 1972 USA), Ed Ruscha (b. 1937 USA), Malick Sidibe (b. 1935 Mali), Xaviera Simmons (b. 1974 USA), Fatimah Tuggar (b. 1967 Nigeria), and Carrie Mae Weems (b. 1953 USA).

David Byrne and imaginary musician Mingering Mike are accompanied by such museum stalwarts as Jasper Johns and sound artist Christian Marclay (whose Video Quartet just vacated the Nasher), making this exhibition a reason to start the countdown until Aug. 19, 2010.
