1. "The Super 'Bowl'Show: Still Life Prints, Drawings, Photographs and Vessels"kicks off at the Detroit Institute of Arts—just in time for Super Bowl XL. Jay Musler's 1981 glass Ritual Vessel is an all-star among 30 bowls and approximately 100 works on paper depicting vases, glasses, and tureens from such artists as AndréKertész and Janet Fish. January 25–April 30; 313-833-7900; dia.org.

2. In "Karen LaMonte: Absence Adorned,"an American shows off the Czech glass-casting techniques she learned while on a Fulbright scholarship in Prague. And she'll be on hand at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, for the opening of the show. To transfer a photograph onto her cast-glass Lark Mirror 2004, she employed a photo-resist process developed to copy portraits onto gravestones. December 10–September 4; 253-284-4719; museumofglass.org.

3. The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford focuses on the Amistad Center for Art &Culture's collection in "Double Exposure: African-Americans Before and Behind the Camera."More than 80 images range from 1850's daguerreotypes to recent digitally manipulated images. The past and present come together in Albert Chong's 1986 C-print Cousin Shirley: He sprinkled flower petals on a portrait of an ancestor and photographed the combination.
