Matter: The Work of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien

Known for projects such as the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and the Phoenix Art Museum, they currently share the 2003 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professorship at the Yale School of Architecture.

This first major exhibition of their work highlights nearly 20 years of the architects' designs. Material samples, prototypes, furniture, wall panels, study models, and other artifacts represent both built projects and designs for works in progress.

Edgar Degas: Defining the Modernist Edge

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was known and admired as a master draftsman, an innovative explorer of sculpture, painting, and printing, and an acute observer of modern life. With his unique use of cropping as a compositional tool, his recycling of anatomical and compositional forms as vocabulary for larger scenes, and his reapplication of traditional drawing and sculpting techniques in ways that challenged the traditional artistic practice, Degas helped define the edge of modernism in visual culture. This small but comprehensive exhibit includes 20 examples of the artist's etchings, paintings, and sculpture.

The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, directed by Mark Lamos

The familiar tale of Kate and Petruchio comes to the Yale Rep stage with "retro-revolutionary" direction. While the play uses an all-male company of actors as would have been done in Shakespeare's time, it is set in today's Latino world with elements of modern media, video, and documentary art.
