Experiencing the Wonder of Music within the Museum Walls</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Intern Jessica Curtis shares the details of her first Pianoforte Concert - going experience at the Museum (July 22, 2012)</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Pianoforte Series, sponsored by Harry Rowney, features a
variety of esteemed pianists playing in the Asheville Art Museum’s galleries.
Performing for a second time, Teresa Sumpter was the most recent performing
pianist in the Pianoforte Series on Sunday, July 22. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Teresa Sumpter is currently an Assistant Professor of Piano
and Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at Mars hill College where she teaches
applied piano, group piano, and music theory. She earned a Ph.D. in Music
Education with an emphasis in Piano Pedagogy and a Master of Music degree in
Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Oklahoma. She also
possesses a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance from Ball State
University. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The program began with:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the performance, Sumpter stood to address the audience
“from the heart”, thanking them for not only attending the performance, but
also addressing her personal intentions in performing for the Museum’s
Pianoforte Series. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sumpter described her passion for music through the medium
of piano as, “a love story.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Addressing
the audience, Sumpter stated how she intended to, “share with you my love
story, which is today’s recital.” Sumpter spoke of the music within the program
to have been simply, “been strung together by sure will.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sumpter’s passion for her musical medium illuminated the
East Wing as the audience sat in silent reverence at the tones and melodies
rising from the keys. Sumpter’s movement with the music brought about a concept
of personal meditation and release. Every note corresponded with an emotion.
Sumpter would take long breathes between her sets, almost as if she was
releasing the mindset of the previous set and preparing for the next. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next in the composition performed was:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sumpter spoke of this piece as Klavierstucke’s “journey to
which all 12 tones are equal.” Despite the opposing perspectives of the some Classicists,
Sumpter states that she defines Klavierstucke’s work as that of a Classicist,
and remarks that he “uses a broader language to express his musical thought.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Following Schoenberg was:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

on the transition of location. In the past, the Pianoforte Concert Series has
been located in Asheville Art Museum’s Gallery 6. It was Ms. Sumpter’s concert
on Sunday, July 22 that was the first to be relocated to the Pop Art Gallery in
the new East Wing of the Museum. Mr. Rowney and Nancy Sokolove, Manager of the
Museum’s Adult Programs Department, asked the audience to comment on the
acoustics and presentations on the new space. After the series, Sokolove noted
several audience members’ positive remarks in regards to the larger space and
room arrangement, making it easier to see the featured pianist. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, the concert was a success, enjoyed by an audience
of more than fifty Museum Members and visitors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The audience was captured by Sumpter’s passion,
and was inspired by the traditional classical music that this Pianoforte Series
presented. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

was the final Pianoforte performance for the summer; however, Pianoforte will return
this October with a recital featuring pianist Kimberly Cann. For more

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Lunchtime Art Breaks are a series of gallery talks and
presentations hosted by the Asheville Art Museum, typically twice per month on
Fridays from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. Our most recent Lunchtime Art Break featured
Asheville residents and artists Hoss Haley and Gabriel Shaffer. Both artists
engaged in dialogue and answered questions with participants about their work. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Haley has two featured works in the Museum: the lighting
installations in the Museum’s newly renovated Atrium and a large-scale
sculpture titled <i>Cycle</i>.<span> </span>Haley’s light installation design takes what
the artist calls a “structural approach” that is more reductive than minimalistic.
Haley spoke of how his biggest challenge with the light fixtures was balancing
the ideas of the lighting installation as both a functional light fixture and a
work of art. His large enameled steel sculpture, <i>Cycle</i>, was chosen as the inaugural site-specific art installation
for the Museum’s new East Wing <i>Artworks
Project Space</i>, or artist project space. The sculpture will remain on view
through the end of the calendar year before becoming part of the Museum’s
Permanent Collection.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Gabriel Shaffer, the artist behind a large-scale graffiti art
mural in the Museum’s Atrium titled <i>The
Writing on the Pharaoh’s Wall</i>, referred to his graffiti work as having raw
characteristics, as an art form commonly thought of as being completed without
commission or permission. But in contrast, Shaffer’s mural was especially
commissioned by the Museum for the public restrooms in the new Atrium. The
Museum recognized a prime opportunity to showcase the talent of a local artist
in the space, and to highlight the evolution of graffiti as an art form
increasingly utilized in the professional art world. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Shaffer spoke of the local elements reflected in his work,
noting the challenge of depicting the community using only a few images. The
artist combined images inspired by local music, literary references (Thomas
Wolfe), break dancing and street culture, ultimately tying the scenes together
with the common thread of what Shaffer described as “the town’s relationship
with art deco”. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In his artist statement Shaffer writes, </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">“The mural is inspired by multiple
elements, the predominant influence being the quilts of Gees Bend Alabama. In
addition to the quilts being extremely forward thinking and beautiful, they
have also become somewhat of a national treasure. Because of my extensive
experience with folk and outsider art, I have had the pleasure of viewing these
quilts, and have found their arrangements, use of color and recycled fabric to
be reminiscent of abstract hieroglyphics.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Shaffer spoke of the collaborative nature of his mural, which
reflects the diverse talent of several fellow graffiti artists from the
community who worked closely with Shaffer to complete the installation,
demonstrating a collaborative, quilt-like process. He spoke of several artists
on the forefront of Asheville’s street art scene, mentioning Ruiner, Sinker,
Mom’s Crew, Graffiti Masons, and the B Team, to name a few. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Shaffer’s intent was to create an open narrative with the
mural, allowing viewers to interpret the work for themselves. He felt that this
characteristic would allow an additional stream of consciousness to emerge in his
work. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Commenting on the unusual balance of showing graffiti art
within a traditional museum setting, Gabriel described the delicate issues
surrounding the production of graffiti and street art, often perceived as being
produced illegally. When visitors questioned the artist about the purity of the
mural as true graffiti, he described the mural as a “borderline” example,
commenting that graffiti may be less offensive to the viewer in this case
specifically because it was a legally commissioned work of art.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Always striving to bring new, enlightening and inspiring
experiences with American art to the surrounding community, the Museum warmly
welcomed the opportunity to showcase such cutting edge work in a safe, public
forum that allows for greater dialogue around the changing role of both art and
producer in the realm of graffiti art.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">For the second part of the Art Break, artist Hoss Haley spoke
with guests about his large-scale sculpture adorning the Museum’s new <i>Artworks Project Space</i>. Having worked in
sculpture on an increasingly large scale for more than three decades, the
artist’s main resource for the site-specific sculpture installation was
enameled steel from area scrap yards. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Haley spoke of how his relationship with the scrap yard over
the years has acted as an indicator of economics, witnessing over time a
correlation between the current state of the economy and the changing type and
quantity of materials coming in and out of scrap yards. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Haley also defined his recycling as being “green before being
green was cool.” This habit of wanting to recycle, in addition to his habit of
coiling things up—such as wadded paper thrown into a trash bin—has emerged in
his art as well. Haley particularly brought attention to the symbolism of
“wadding”. Wadding has become a natural human action to express an object’s
transition from a resource to waste. However, in practical circumstances,
disposing of a material in such a way only takes up more space and density.
This idea of wadding could be seen as an ultimate act of declaring something as
waste. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Through <i>Cycle</i>,
Haley observed the subconscious symbolism of recycling and waste. The artist
built special machinery to create large-scale recycled enameled metal pieces
representing the appearance of paper “wadded in [his] hand”. Haley spoke of his
adventure into the scrap yard as a form of “post-apocalyptic hunting”, using
the term “field dressing” when referring to himself and his team of assistants,
describing the process of seeking our discarded washing machines and “ripping
[them] open and throwing the guts out”, taking only the “skins” or outer shell
of the machines.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Expanding on the symbolism of material waste and
economic concerns brought to the viewer’s attention through <i>Cycle</i> Haley also spoke of the relatively
short life span of today’s washing machines—only two years on average. Being
either too expensive to service or simply out of date, it has become common
practice to discard machines and purchase new ones at an increasing rate. Such
fast turnover has made it nearly impossible for metal recycling plants, such as
those in Spartanburg, to keep pace. This was a revelation to Haley in his
creative process.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">In his artist statement Haley writes, </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%; margin-left: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">“</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">For decades the scrap yard has been a
major source of both raw material and inspiration. As the consumer demand for
cheaper products increases, the quality of the products decreases, as does the
life span of the goods…<em>Cycle</em> became a way to exaggerate the idea of
‘tossing away’ and to demonstrate the precariousness of this act. In the end
there was a satisfying moment in the process when the castoffs became
commentary.”<span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Lunchtime Art Breaks are often not only
educational and insightful, but also brimming with humorous undertones and
fascinating commentary from the very artists whose works are displayed in the
Museum, offering visitors a unique view into the thought process and ideas
behind a work of art. During this tour, Haley demonstrated the playful nature
of his work, picking up one of the remarkably lightweight balls making up <i>Cycle</i>, and acting as if to climb the
sculpture (both of which are not permissible for visitors to the Museum).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">In addition to these humorous actions, Haley also
commented on the earlier iterations of <i>Cycle</i>,
such as his idea to combine three of the balled-up washing machines. He
ultimately moved beyond the idea realizing that, “they just ended up looking
like snowmen.” Haley concluded his discussion of <i>Cycle</i> by mentioning his more current twist of the <i>Cycle</i> series. Now, he is making the
recycled enameled steel balls out of car and truck hoods from the late 1970s and
earlier. The new series in progress has more color than this installation of <i>Cycle</i> and is designed to hang on the
walls versus being structured in sculpture form.<span> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">When you think of the word
glass, what comes to mind?</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">A window? A picture frame? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">To most, glass is
stereotypically seen as an every day, inanimate object. Seen through artistic
eyes, however, Christina Bothwell and Robert Bender perceive glass very
differently. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Christina Bothwell and
Robert Bender are both artists featured in the <i>Glass Secessionism</i> exhibition at Blue Spiral 1, which celebrates
the 50th anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement and its relation to the
region dating back to 1962. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">The tour began in Asheville
Art Museum’s current exhibition, <i>Fire on
the Mountain: Studio Glass in Western North Carolina</i>, also celebrating the
50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the movement. Participants were not only able to
visually interpret the exhibitions but were also fortunate enough to hear from
Christina and Robert, who narrated the exhibitions, touching upon the
development, style, and intent of their respective works.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Nancy Sokolove, Adult
Programs Manager, organized the special Up For Discussion tour of Studio Glass,
introducing Robert and Christina’s work at the start of the tour as having a
“narrative quality”. Robert expanded on the idea of narrative quality in his
work by stating that, “although he has always been an artist, his first art
form was not glass blowing, but rather writing and illustrating children’s
novels”. It was not until meeting his wife, Christina Bothwell that their glassworks
began to thrive. Christina spoke of her passion for glasswork being
“intoxicating” as it “takes over” and acts like a “40 watt bulb with a thousand
currents”. Robert then stated how their relationship coincides with their
glasswork commenting, “We helped each other technically and creatively.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">With both Christina and
Robert being self-taught glass artists, many of their techniques arose from
mistakes and experiments made throughout their glasswork practice. One of their
personal experiments with glass is the technique of combining Bullseye glass (a
high-priced glass) with Opaque glass (a lower-priced glass). Although this
practice of combining the two glasses is untraditional, Christina and Robert
found that the cost effectiveness and resulting product were worth maintaining
their untraditional approach. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">In addition to combining
different types of glass, Christina also stated that she likes when bubbles
occur in her works stating, “[they] are my favorite thing.” Commenting on her personal
glass blowing techniques she stated, “You get surprises and you just have to
work with them.” Christina and Robert then concluded that it was through their
self-taught nature with glass that they could break away from the “technical
perfection” of other glass artists. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Both Robert and Christina
give credit to the glasswork community, which Christina later referred to as
the “Artist Covenant”, for their boldness and success.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Nancy Sokolove stated,
“That is what the glass workers are known for…their sense of community.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Robert’s final statement on
the topic was that the glassworker’s sense of support and community was simply
“good karma”. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">At the conclusion of the
tour, Christina was asked why she chose glasswork over ceramics. She replied,
“Glass transmits light and clay doesn’t…it just seems more alive to me.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #262626;">Up for Discussion: <i>Glass Secessionism</i>, provided
participants with a new perception of glass. After time spent seeing glass
through the eyes of artists Christina Bothwell and Robert Bender, glass
expanded beyond that of an everyday inanimate object to become a material of
art, transformation and creation.</span></span></div>

It highlights one of the important, but quieter, programs at the Asheville Art Museum, the Frances Mulhall Achilles Library. The library is located by the stairs leading up to the second floor. It features books, catalogs, magazines, videos and art images. All of this material is searchable in a computer catalog. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">On February 3, 2011, the library celebrated an important milestone; the nine thousandth item was added to the catalog. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Asheville Art Museum’s library is one of the largest resources of art publications in the region and is regularly used by staff, visitors, students and scholars. While the materials do not circulate, the Museum has a Teachers’ Resource Center that allows area school teachers to check out materials for use in the classroom.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Also thanks to a grant from Progress Energy, the library includes three computers with Internet access for further art research.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The success of the library is due to many supporters who have donated materials, but in particular to a small group of dedicated volunteer librarians. The current group consists of Leah Karpen, Fran Myers, Meg Miles and Martha Shepard. Most Thursday mornings find this dedicated and hard working group in the library cataloging new materials, re-shelving books and other tasks needed to maintain the library as the important resource that it is.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The library is free to Members or with paid admission, so check it out the next time you are in the Museum. If you are here on a Thursday morning, say hello to the librarians, they always love visitors.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094649790819293426.post-64456858508835954882011-02-01T11:42:00.001-08:002011-02-01T12:04:36.748-08:00Getting to Know Us: Membership and GroupsContinue getting to know us with this post from Rebecca Lynch-Maass, Membership Manager at the Museum.

This early Asawa work, one of few created while she was a student at Black Mountain College, is a stunning example of her early efforts with the looped-wire technique learned in Toluca, Mexico in 1947. Central to an earlier exhibition of her work was a large looped wire sculpture given to the Museum by Lorna Blaine Halper. The addition of this early basket form offers us the opportunity to build upon Halper’s significant gift and to showcase both an early and a later wire sculpture. This addition of a work by a Black Mountain College artist, and especially one created at Black Mountain College, adds to the ongoing efforts by the Museum to build a significant BMC Collection, and continues the Circle’s commitment to that Collection. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpjbe0JC8MiNnzJ4ik5ISW1YX8vGSFEkkUwQLZ_9fFiRIHq4YY9tH6iN96iqz5engHYtXm2tHG8pf4htaPY7XlTsChrYB0FRO4KMWw4gwpkSvRW_limBxWAvurCpmjh30xk1wHni2S9w/s1600/schanker_menonbench.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpjbe0JC8MiNnzJ4ik5ISW1YX8vGSFEkkUwQLZ_9fFiRIHq4YY9tH6iN96iqz5engHYtXm2tHG8pf4htaPY7XlTsChrYB0FRO4KMWw4gwpkSvRW_limBxWAvurCpmjh30xk1wHni2S9w/s320/schanker_menonbench.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568811325675693458" border="0" /></a>In anticipation of the upcoming exhibition <i>Artists at Work: American Printmakers and the WPA</i> (April 29 – September 25, 2011), Assistant Curator Cole Hendrix presented three works by WPA printmakers Minna Citron, Louis Schanker and Hyman Warsager<span style=""> </span>to the Circle.

class="MsoNormal">I have been on the Board of the Art Museum for many years; that can be serious stuff. The real fun is volunteering at the front desk/shop. Visitors are always interesting and share their museum and Asheville experiences. The staff always has something interesting for me to do between visitors.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The first Wednesday of the month is free at the museum from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. That fell on one of my volunteer days this month and what a great day! The <span style="font-style: italic;">Mountain Xpress</span> ran an excellent article about the <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Sewell Sillman</span> exhibit just before it closed but in time for the free visitors. We had guests from NYC, Canada, Illinois, Iowa, Florida, California, Colorado as well as Asheville and nearby counties. All of this on a cold day between snowstorms mid-week in Asheville. There were young couples with designer winter jackets, family groups taking advantage of a free day, a couple of people my age who were interested in moving here. Earlier in the day I suggested some young people might come back when it was free. One couple did, but another paid and spent a long time enjoying all three upstairs floors of the Museum as well as the outstanding <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Director’s Cut</span> exhibition in our ‘always free’ first floor community galleries. They appreciated my money-saving suggestion but had late afternoon plans.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP-xkAKlfAZ5ZFWnf0Qb-yQPQs10XXH-PooEPsNpeVk_ot-U3iQImrNjsA9UHEwIcELbnU3e_npPdMO-DUlrl0rkSqHrNL4zX-Zq5sABPz76yOf2kJkoTV9aOr-FVyGeUGIziD63j13k/s1600/Bob+and+Judy+Swan.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP-xkAKlfAZ5ZFWnf0Qb-yQPQs10XXH-PooEPsNpeVk_ot-U3iQImrNjsA9UHEwIcELbnU3e_npPdMO-DUlrl0rkSqHrNL4zX-Zq5sABPz76yOf2kJkoTV9aOr-FVyGeUGIziD63j13k/s320/Bob+and+Judy+Swan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561704646159080114" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Judy Swan (right) with her husband Bob at the Museum's 60th Anniversary Party at The Orange Peel.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094649790819293426.post-13978591434715078442010-12-29T13:04:00.000-08:002010-12-29T13:16:17.805-08:00Show us Your Original Photos!<span style="font-size:180%;">A</span>re you an amateur photographer who would love to share your work with other art lovers?

Although Sallie passed away in 2009, her legacy continues in her amazingly detailed watercolors of nature. This exhibition will be over in just a few weeks on December, though, so now is the time to come get your fill of Sallie's work, whether you've enjoyed it in previous visits, or if you haven't seen it at all. People often leave our exhibit feeling they have just had a taste of her wonderful work and want to know more! While attempting to learn more about her myself, I ran across a few great resources I would like to share.<br /><br />Of course, there is her <a href="http://www.salliemiddleton.com/about_01.html">Web site</a> which offers biographical information, anecdotes and an online store.<br /><br /><a href="http://toto.lib.unca.edu/findingaids/oralhistory/VOA/I_M/Middleton_S.html">Here</a> is an oral history as well as some great pictures of the artist from the library at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQRiY8QoiWeoafz3xfyWD6z9DrkNcjNg-LxB09lBtS_65O2fCeM7piBXiRzUxkLs2FQZcNa065Fb86Och4hHi6_DC-hmnybC3dDmznAaO7Zye8tESAmCeNt4JFzN9kJ94gwN8lURQxBI/s1600/middleton_002_mod.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQRiY8QoiWeoafz3xfyWD6z9DrkNcjNg-LxB09lBtS_65O2fCeM7piBXiRzUxkLs2FQZcNa065Fb86Och4hHi6_DC-hmnybC3dDmznAaO7Zye8tESAmCeNt4JFzN9kJ94gwN8lURQxBI/s320/middleton_002_mod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543908880513387554" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0sP5QqSdL4KVRRtRJMO1ElLwO4-9eUjTUVx2pknJF6sqKiW3d47Iq7BFsi_vwLd_BuOxP6kAxxVil8NxtIOQITgBFFFF_COwXl0nk1FiUGeJqPIyGH0G-2wUbJrJNL1oAScVpqEwJZ8/s1600/middleton_001_mod.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd0sP5QqSdL4KVRRtRJMO1ElLwO4-9eUjTUVx2pknJF6sqKiW3d47Iq7BFsi_vwLd_BuOxP6kAxxVil8NxtIOQITgBFFFF_COwXl0nk1FiUGeJqPIyGH0G-2wUbJrJNL1oAScVpqEwJZ8/s320/middleton_001_mod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543907809314995698" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj29RXAQUrhXlb8MluzDLQoXHOpChKCph87Pd6qzBvVXSlpQeOHNgFigGDYIWpvlL3ed4TdyRfqTUy37tdNrGCITIgBDJb2omclHJ-dfoEVV9aWG8j4vKser06L6TjsIEEjQilyCWaKsKs/s1600/middleton_003_mod.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj29RXAQUrhXlb8MluzDLQoXHOpChKCph87Pd6qzBvVXSlpQeOHNgFigGDYIWpvlL3ed4TdyRfqTUy37tdNrGCITIgBDJb2omclHJ-dfoEVV9aWG8j4vKser06L6TjsIEEjQilyCWaKsKs/s320/middleton_003_mod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543909020100283074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAZMuM4ebALyKOgrwxa0leoMim6oMVe8aSZ48_rJ-pj2WqpZhZDdfVD6vj1biumSboZhmUPdIO5PUvqGHiYmpo4oaTxowmUWPoUn2wM0_N9mjAqjZpHGEIBydBXhPiC6FAJgT9QxVaG4/s1600/middleton_004_mod.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAZMuM4ebALyKOgrwxa0leoMim6oMVe8aSZ48_rJ-pj2WqpZhZDdfVD6vj1biumSboZhmUPdIO5PUvqGHiYmpo4oaTxowmUWPoUn2wM0_N9mjAqjZpHGEIBydBXhPiC6FAJgT9QxVaG4/s320/middleton_004_mod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543909083647603378" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In our library at the Museum, we have also acquired the book, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Magical Realm of Sallie Middleton</span>, by Celestine Silby which was published in 1980.

Here, he is performing one of his avante garde musical pieces called "Water Walk," which involved a number of strange instruments like a bath tub, duck call, watering can and many more. During this time, Cage was teaching an experimental music class at New York City's New School. As you can see, this is a time when Cage's works were quite controversial. John Cage was one of the major creative voices in late 20th century art, both in his own work and his collaborations with Merce Cunningham and Robert Rauschenberg.<br /><br />Three weeks ago, the Museum's Work of the Week featured a musical notation for one Cage's compositions. It's nice to put a face with the art. Enjoy this fun and interesting video! And then look back at his work in the Work of the Week and in our Permanent Collection online.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='455' height='377' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzZfsz3ifqCEA1yi6Y6IAjxKLoz_ciBw46UcdPZaKxQFP5CWMgS61U3Vh1WNZQFWv7Pt1ODgG-MizAMGYjhJw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094649790819293426.post-59395251624300299112010-11-05T08:39:00.000-07:002010-11-10T06:54:59.176-08:00Holiday Shopping Just Got Better!With colder weather approaching and the fading of the colorful leaves, the Holidays are now on everyone's minds. But instead of subjecting yourself to crowded malls and last minute shopping, you should consider attending this year's Holiday Market at the Asheville Art Museum!<br /><br />As with every year, Museum Shop workers have gathered tons of great products from local artists and artisans. We have pottery, beautiful jewelry, wood-turned bowls, candles and so much more! We will also have several book signings by local authors like Jennifer Lipsey, Leo Monohan, and Katie Boyette. Not to mention all of the holiday music, treats, refreshments and beer kegs! It's not just a shopping extravaganza, it's a holiday PARTY!<br /><br />The Holiday Market begins on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tuesday, N</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">ovember 16</span> and will run through <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunday, November 21</span>. That's six full days of party and shopping opportunities! On the final day, November 21, we will also have a <span style="font-weight: bold;">SunTrust Sunday</span> which means FREE admission to the Museum AND a silent auction where you can bid on some more awesome local products. Plus you will get a chance to meet all of the artists who participated in the Market.

As a current student of film preservation and archiving, the Museum of Modern Art has been one of the leaders of film collection, preservation and projection for decades; their approach to film as an art form was unprecedented when they began to collect. Because of this, MoMA has an incredible film collection, which they mostly now keep off site in stable storage. They also have a film study room and quite an extensive archive of ephemeral material related to their films. Scholars and students can request films to screen and comb the archives, all from the comfort of the cozy study room.<br /><br />Ok, enough about film. The MoMA also has a wonderful contemporary art collection, which you probably know. I traversed the halls and maneuvered through the crowds to bring you some of the jewels on view (my opinion, of course).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6OB19taWANcaJCXmA7XnUhBKKgRv-05BwwXwuJUGNFk5yMEVSESVcr0fhE49VaHxH4tV_Wz54uoFRJK2wkAmF5cBsz69mRgI9YqNtgn3fnbDUd1l5jpcy9U9HZG_yuam3Dw6gzzQresU/s1600/kitchen2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6OB19taWANcaJCXmA7XnUhBKKgRv-05BwwXwuJUGNFk5yMEVSESVcr0fhE49VaHxH4tV_Wz54uoFRJK2wkAmF5cBsz69mRgI9YqNtgn3fnbDUd1l5jpcy9U9HZG_yuam3Dw6gzzQresU/s320/kitchen2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514413114027714" border="0" /></a>My first stop was MoMA's exhibition on kitchen design, <span style="font-style: italic;">Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen</span>. The exhibition traverses the history of kitchen design from efficiency during the war- The Frankfurt Kitchen- to post-war personalization options- Tupperware, new appliances and utensils, etc. which grew out of technological design innovations and expendable incomes. The exhibition then turned to the kitchen as a space for discourse on social and gender roles through art, literature, and performance works. Of course, I went through the circular exhibition backwards, to avert the crowds. It gave me a new perspective, where I began with the social and ended with the practical and historical. It was kind of perfect for me. Plus, they used a lot of audio visual material in the show- television clips, old commercials, art works- which made me happy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfObdYhz80g7DRCgYDb-c0ZP4GU_cM00ZE_7aGUXu8_bJW5Gn0ptBiFbZKpKtX0zXK2jRflie_EqdD4D6e8UWWkr5-rbBNpET-XtV0G-G06p7s4qZupEc_lLmYvtxlH6Pwau0idLO4IlQ/s1600/IMG00044-20101004-1317.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfObdYhz80g7DRCgYDb-c0ZP4GU_cM00ZE_7aGUXu8_bJW5Gn0ptBiFbZKpKtX0zXK2jRflie_EqdD4D6e8UWWkr5-rbBNpET-XtV0G-G06p7s4qZupEc_lLmYvtxlH6Pwau0idLO4IlQ/s320/IMG00044-20101004-1317.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514384382254914" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdyVMR8gBWKYym4XaBQ1v5_Q1xIQlW51K5u6HYDImVYks6lBpoiqxAH4oauaNwkHD6gQVrBMznY7OeqeF5gT0Ax0aEuo3_bq2GLV4k1rJA13sv8VeJm-v4yMbFQicQwKwMBMrMBRQX7s/s1600/kitchen.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 111px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdyVMR8gBWKYym4XaBQ1v5_Q1xIQlW51K5u6HYDImVYks6lBpoiqxAH4oauaNwkHD6gQVrBMznY7OeqeF5gT0Ax0aEuo3_bq2GLV4k1rJA13sv8VeJm-v4yMbFQicQwKwMBMrMBRQX7s/s320/kitchen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514407579676802" border="0" /></a>above: Anna and Bernhard Blume's <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A616&page_number=2&template_id=1&sort_order=1"><span style="font-style: italic;">Kitchen Frenzy</span></a>- where potatoes are used to show the frenzy felt by women stuck in the kitchen (and gendered stereotypes). Sometimes I feel that way when I am studying. It is part of the Kitchen Sink Dramas section, of course.<br /><br />Waiting for my timed entry to Matisse and <span style="font-style: italic;">Radical Invention </span>exhibition, I hopped over to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Contemporary Art from the Collection</span> exhibition, where watching the people is almost as fun as getting to know the works. Yoko Ono's 1961 <span style="font-style: italic;">Voice Piece for Soprano</span> resides in the foyer, and to the delight of the employees, patrons step up to a microphone and scream at the top of their lungs all day long. As you are looking through the galleries, you can hear yelling and screaming echoing throughout the building. Interesting. And at the entrance to the show is Kara Walker's 1994 piece, <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=110565"><span style="font-style: italic;">Gone</span></a>, a reaction to African American stereotypes in <span style="font-style: italic;">Gone with the Wind</span>. Just its scale is stunning- which I tried to show you here.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_beZDhpdWAWDNSoCrTQvBcvfNQGCejYUErOEUcpHJDxuG_v3nt95vDhbyOTaYyIhbuEZdPDLbEEnbH1CAdItAguDPD853FNTKpptA0FV3QT6X9mLbPnfye0OtgtxlfHEwrO9hGHqUMvQ/s1600/kara2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 166px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_beZDhpdWAWDNSoCrTQvBcvfNQGCejYUErOEUcpHJDxuG_v3nt95vDhbyOTaYyIhbuEZdPDLbEEnbH1CAdItAguDPD853FNTKpptA0FV3QT6X9mLbPnfye0OtgtxlfHEwrO9hGHqUMvQ/s320/kara2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514405595492450" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBP4gCu7vrh8yDIjS8B-52Nddrw8vOo_rX7tlcaUX1-y9t7ou03xaaCUOSJgCCAHAKTXn0lN3VPDkhStC-jbNSj0HXQEGAinrXU67nC-W-l6AQGYELsQpqlD5RFPECqtRmnGWysbgj_M/s1600/kara.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 127px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBP4gCu7vrh8yDIjS8B-52Nddrw8vOo_rX7tlcaUX1-y9t7ou03xaaCUOSJgCCAHAKTXn0lN3VPDkhStC-jbNSj0HXQEGAinrXU67nC-W-l6AQGYELsQpqlD5RFPECqtRmnGWysbgj_M/s320/kara.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514389424644642" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmKrtRjYAfFOJ_mnM1m_cX5N3o6529vOMNGfhpoQE1vpWwPnGQmYNhD0BYxF4oG9uT-FOkx18ZkOhOvrZ6NSQCun5kHLxU5PiQu_PPDFgngKpzeRn3BMmmuBDIhE_nEDMw4KhcU9MreTk/s1600/matisse.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 156px; height: 117px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmKrtRjYAfFOJ_mnM1m_cX5N3o6529vOMNGfhpoQE1vpWwPnGQmYNhD0BYxF4oG9uT-FOkx18ZkOhOvrZ6NSQCun5kHLxU5PiQu_PPDFgngKpzeRn3BMmmuBDIhE_nEDMw4KhcU9MreTk/s320/matisse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514738843892338" border="0" /></a>Matisse is not my favorite, but the exhibition they had up, from his period in 1913 back from Morocco to his departure for Nice in 1917, was fascinating in that it pointed out the 'process' noticeable in his art. Patrons can see sketch marks, sculptures side by side which document his progression, and works of experimentation as Matisse is honing his style. I couldn't take any photos of this one, so here is one of my favorite Matisse, because I am a fan of his use of negative space- <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A3832&page_number=47&template_id=1&sort_order=1">The Red Studio</a>- where the artworks littering the studio create the foundations for the walls, the floor, the furniture. It is the negative space that fascinates me.<br /><br />Then through the Paintings and Sculpture Galleries, and the Abstract Expressionist galleries rooms, where all the famous people you would recognize reside. and where all the people huddle around <span style="font-style: italic;">Starry Night</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Water Lilies</span>, and <i>Les Demoiselles d'Avignon</i>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkjvXvbkWEdPkHif0h6ETAlE_KJMmSqxPPw9_qAURdlCSNe6Eda-JRPk3R7HROltGGvfrsclr2lO52tsNFMVnOcV4rhbfRcnVDPJ1jKZjo5YLX_fs_1nt3bipXtgJmFdAg-Rbe3gwODlY/s1600/seurat.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 89px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkjvXvbkWEdPkHif0h6ETAlE_KJMmSqxPPw9_qAURdlCSNe6Eda-JRPk3R7HROltGGvfrsclr2lO52tsNFMVnOcV4rhbfRcnVDPJ1jKZjo5YLX_fs_1nt3bipXtgJmFdAg-Rbe3gwODlY/s320/seurat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514744685657890" border="0" /></a>I stood in front of Georges-Pierre Seurat's<a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3ADE%3AI%3A5%7CG%3AOV%3AE%3A1&page_number=5&template_id=1&sort_order=1"><i> Evening, Honfleur</i></a> for a while, moving closer and further away from it so that I could analyze the dots that not only cover the canvas but also the frame.<br /><br /><br />One of the gems of my visit was a small gallery located on the bottom floor, <span style="font-style: italic;">Abstract Expressionist New York: Rock Paper Scissors</span>, an offshoot of the larger Abstract Expressionist show, where artists' drawings are positioned next to their sculpture. Here their styles go from 2 to 3D. Louise Nevelson, David Smith, etc. gained new life for me.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifiylXHyIgsy2YoCNNqsq7IxLh6FTJrbenAn2tvJU9hbXJH9LSW-88jmYBRdxrIxlyNft9Kqs4xIJJGd7v4QgqVRAxHfursRcf8Iz0uWdxY76V3c_pbrX-hUJKGghTDut-Q0rpcy9y23U/s1600/ab2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 82px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifiylXHyIgsy2YoCNNqsq7IxLh6FTJrbenAn2tvJU9hbXJH9LSW-88jmYBRdxrIxlyNft9Kqs4xIJJGd7v4QgqVRAxHfursRcf8Iz0uWdxY76V3c_pbrX-hUJKGghTDut-Q0rpcy9y23U/s320/ab2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530513850191988130" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitsB2I4-Qg_BB87CRtu-FWJva9a_NRAQF-wgpOTkonWLOFqCdX9gmQQBRR5fzLmZxW1ckXfJGZirV-cAR0-fkt5zG0LfddIvkUQtol971Nzi0IRneqK0BtV5xx7teWZXNDpNrb3WHV0O0/s1600/ab3.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 82px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitsB2I4-Qg_BB87CRtu-FWJva9a_NRAQF-wgpOTkonWLOFqCdX9gmQQBRR5fzLmZxW1ckXfJGZirV-cAR0-fkt5zG0LfddIvkUQtol971Nzi0IRneqK0BtV5xx7teWZXNDpNrb3WHV0O0/s320/ab3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530513854296950850" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCQLzwvVOOHNQ3VMTGiAYuWgdF0nTznbw_PQsNnLCY9B6xTQveUBncyQkWy_AtSRs0NQ8Dte0aZb5rVmmLdGW6vXJqqbnNwM_lrs1sTtc02VZpOAz5dMULElf9Zwqz4RAUCxM1rVdM4U/s1600/ab4.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 82px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCQLzwvVOOHNQ3VMTGiAYuWgdF0nTznbw_PQsNnLCY9B6xTQveUBncyQkWy_AtSRs0NQ8Dte0aZb5rVmmLdGW6vXJqqbnNwM_lrs1sTtc02VZpOAz5dMULElf9Zwqz4RAUCxM1rVdM4U/s320/ab4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530513860404667170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdKu_7kMwIK5pHLMWgnATfvfHgBt9X9Co0YS9eZFPS8GNCza5CepbZOEXBUy0jKRRGZ-NNZ5TUvfg72sLgv5QX9KM9_ceC_iQZ_IO6wz9VbP4RRuPtvCBpf9eGKrs24aML2GRbk5-Pscs/s1600/wyeth.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 236px; height: 177px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdKu_7kMwIK5pHLMWgnATfvfHgBt9X9Co0YS9eZFPS8GNCza5CepbZOEXBUy0jKRRGZ-NNZ5TUvfg72sLgv5QX9KM9_ceC_iQZ_IO6wz9VbP4RRuPtvCBpf9eGKrs24aML2GRbk5-Pscs/s320/wyeth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530514744276304274" border="0" /></a>On a free Friday night, the crowds can get kind of crazy, so after three hours, I decided it was time to leave. On my way out the door, in a hallway near the toilets I looked over and there was Andrew Wyeth's <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=78455">Christina's World</a>. I couldn't help myself and I did what you just don't do in New York- I stopped abruptly. Wyeth in the hallway, and I almost missed it. In that moment, this city is worth all the craziness of crowds and litter and noise and metros.

But what does that really mean? The pieces in a museum’s permanent collection are just that -<span style=""> </span>they are a collection of pieces the museum has acquired and intend to keep. What I have learned is that permanent collections are vital to museums for a variety of reasons. They allow the organization to form goals and collecting strategies to better serve the community in a unique and stimulating way. <span style=""> </span></span></p> <p style="font-family: georgia;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Although many may not realize this, the Asheville Art Museum’s Permanent Collection actually consists of more than 2,500 works of art and nearly 5,000 architectural drawings! Like most museums, though, we have a limited amount of space to show our awesome collection in the galleries. We currently are only able to show about 3 percent of our entire collection. In our exhibition, </span><a href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/Current-Exhibitions/Looking-Back-Celebrating-60-Years-of-Collecting-at-the-Asheville-Art-Museum.html"><strong><i><span style="color: blue;">Looking Back: Celebrating 60 Years of Collecting at the Asheville Art Museum</span></i></strong></a>, guests are able to see how diverse our Permanent Collection really is. The even more exciting part is you are likely to see something new in the galleries every time you visit because our Executive Director and curators are always rearranging and adding new pieces.</p> <p style="font-family: georgia;" class="MsoNormal">The Asheville Art Museum is dedicated to strategic collecting <span style=""> </span>and considers these goals with each art acquisition. As a whole, the Museum has focused its expertise on 20<sup>th</sup> and 21<sup>st</sup> Century American art. It also seeks to include works from local artists and works of significance to Western North Carolina’s culture such as Studio Craft, Black Mountain College and Cherokee artists. We have important photographic pieces of our region and nationwide as well as contemporary photography. Our holdings also include large sculptures, Outsider Art and pieces reflective of the local community.</p> <p style="font-family: georgia;" class="MsoNormal">Many of the pieces in the Permanent Collection are gifts from artists or the families of artists who would like to continue the legacy of the artist and the work. Others are purchased through funds given by gracious benefactors and many are purchased by the Museum or through Museum groups such as the <a href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/Collectors-Circle.html">Collector’s Circle</a> and <a href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/Art-Nouveaux.html">Art Nouveaux</a>. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Now that you know a little more about our Permanent Collection, come experience it in the galleries or view even more at once in our </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/component/option,com_joomgallery/Itemid,184/catid,1/func,viewcategory/">online archive</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">. We also have a </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/General-News/Work-of-the-Week.html">Work of the Week</a> featuring information about a different piece from the Permanent Collection each week. We are very proud of our collection and love sharing it with the public! We also thank everyone who has contributed to our growing collection!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094649790819293426.post-73980578791497670012010-09-10T08:03:00.001-07:002010-09-10T08:16:09.498-07:00Docent Recruitment Photos<div style="text-align: left;">In honor of Docent Recruitment Day coming up on September 20, here are some pictures of docent activities throughout the years, just to get a taste of what you might experience as a volunteer docent at the Asheville Art Museum!

Their first and most frequent client was Josef <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Albers</span>, who entrusted them with the production of two instrumental portfolios: <em>Interaction of Color</em>, a book based on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Albers'</span> lessons in color theory, and <em>Formulation: Articulation</em>, a retrospective

class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Sillman</span> was a key collaborator in creating this portfolio, for he helped <span class="blsp-spelling-error"

Luckily, I’ve had the honor of working with an extremely diverse group of fellow interns and have found that we’ve gotten a TON of work accomplished over the past three months!<br /><br />All of us are scattered around different departments, so our work has been very different, but equally rewarding! Curatorial interns have been endlessly dedicated to adding pieces from our Permanent Collection to our online archive. This is an intimidating endeavor, since our Permanent Collection holds over 2,000 objects and 4,000 architectural drawings! Over the course of the summer, interns have managed to almost double the archive entries. That means countless hours spent researching, editing, typing and fact checking so that our Permanent Collection can be seen online by anyone, anytime, anywhere! <a href="http://www.ashevilleart.org/index.php?/How-to-Use-the-Collection.html">Click here to peruse the collection!</a><br /><br />Then there were those who spent their hours planning events, volunteering, organizing the Museum Shop and working on inventory. Some learned about grant writing and its importance to a great non-profit organization and others learned how to make a gallery installation go smoothly! And then some of us had the pleasure of writing the blog to let everyone know all the juicy details. :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWjtUUHY85r-kBAbengb5MB_HEBC4kxWLkiRTm0InLX-uUiBMvbFMF7KvbAKE5iRHuPnAQbllt8xpxCxbmVjMAHXGXL3us-UcCYqmqWblnuq6YBjVyjmtpqYL3ZXg5yr3NWWBKbfEFMog/s1600/DSC_3300.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWjtUUHY85r-kBAbengb5MB_HEBC4kxWLkiRTm0InLX-uUiBMvbFMF7KvbAKE5iRHuPnAQbllt8xpxCxbmVjMAHXGXL3us-UcCYqmqWblnuq6YBjVyjmtpqYL3ZXg5yr3NWWBKbfEFMog/s320/DSC_3300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502343951232106658" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Curatorial Intern Freeman helped with the installation of the exhi</span><span style="font-size:85%;">bition <span style="font-style: italic;">Sewell Sillman: Pushin</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">g Limits</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOsUCTDwjik5I_UeiZWdFmdhYhyphenhyphenTZTXhsEqJiGShOrvn22SqjuSzubaKBGQ-fDUmO1EwbNoxnuQckvebJ_IhqoKUOM2lYW0pawweErMIHM88VxeeFH2hTsHEbK0XH9zWFOdjNBQ3vjh7I/s1600/booth.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOsUCTDwjik5I_UeiZWdFmdhYhyphenhyphenTZTXhsEqJiGShOrvn22SqjuSzubaKBGQ-fDUmO1EwbNoxnuQckvebJ_IhqoKUOM2lYW0pawweErMIHM88VxeeFH2hTsHEbK0XH9zWFOdjNBQ3vjh7I/s320/booth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502344853117497138" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Communications Intern DeeAnna (me!) and volunteer Nikki helped work the Asheville Art Museum booth at Bele Chere</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_npwKmbT3lqf_HxfwqoQi1AKJbk7WtaQgXhev_ABCowr53XBtM-Z9hTEzoYhOUOjs1WZOCjSH_pW8BivyN7iIfe5gLVnaSbkRaleetTDIeL9ckVubQhHQoLMNLuHMJ1YFB0kqxMvt4ow/s1600/bildeCA2395AQ.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_npwKmbT3lqf_HxfwqoQi1AKJbk7WtaQgXhev_ABCowr53XBtM-Z9hTEzoYhOUOjs1WZOCjSH_pW8BivyN7iIfe5gLVnaSbkRaleetTDIeL9ckVubQhHQoLMNLuHMJ1YFB0kqxMvt4ow/s320/bildeCA2395AQ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502345571897736866" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Events Planning and Curatorial Intern Casey (right) had some fun at ArtMob's Summer Soiree event</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMv-WuSvAdp5D0rx42eGI6gtWAtAfL8ShzyUQxrSziuV2bh9klIlpNt8nmKpYk4bxlpVxRlZukE2yXwFtga2wMBR4R1cRGY2w0WTvZ7-1M2poVqDJ28oRjM0lswIcAU8PUQDjQ59y2jKM/s1600/Interns07.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMv-WuSvAdp5D0rx42eGI6gtWAtAfL8ShzyUQxrSziuV2bh9klIlpNt8nmKpYk4bxlpVxRlZukE2yXwFtga2wMBR4R1cRGY2w0WTvZ7-1M2poVqDJ28oRjM0lswIcAU8PUQDjQ59y2jKM/s320/Interns07.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502348377171691986" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">All of the girls at the Seventh Asheville Wine Auction + Art Gala<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">From left to right: Casey, Lisa, DeeAnna, Lindsay, and Sarah</span><br /></div><br />I would like to extend my gratitude to all of the interns and Museum staff for making this summer so enjoyable.

Voted the best arts and crafts fair in Western North Carolina, the Big Crafty NEVER disappoints. There was definitely an eclectic assortment of crafts, from pottery all the way to "organic armor." There were so many interesting and exciting booths, I’m afraid I spent a little too much money! I especially enjoy my unique print from Katie <a href="http://www.katiedaisy.net/">Daisy</a> and my eco-friendly jewelry from Smart Glass <a href="http://smartglassjewelry.com/smartglassjewelry.php">Jewelry</a>. The event is always a great way to experience the best of Asheville and the amazing artists who work here!<br /><br />The Big Crafty also lured many people into the museum, who strolled through some of our galleries and learned more about some of our events!

This awesome display of black and white photos is an exploration of folk crafts and music. Barnwell took the time to give us a behind-the-camera look at his collection.<br /><br />Barnwell said when the project culminated he knew he wanted to capture the functional crafts that people of Appalachia created – the types of hand made crafts that stretch far back in time and are considered by some a dying art. He said he always seeks subjects to photograph that have weight and substance and that will develop layers of meaning for different viewers.<br /><br />Barnwell sought subjects in varying crafts and music and traveled from East Raleigh, North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee and Lexington, Kentucky. Some of the photos in the exhibition include Doc Watson, John Hartford, Etta Baker, Jerry Douglas and Ralph Stanley Sr. Portrayed are other craftsmen creating pottery, woven baskets and blacksmithing.<br /><br />The captivating photographs were not always easy to come by, though. Barnwell said the biggest challenge was figuring out how create a portrait that would honestly speak of that person. He decided the best way to accomplish that was to capture them in their own workspace and environment, allowing them to feel comfortable. He would often make multiple trips to visit some of the subjects in order to develop trust and understanding before he photographed them.<br /><br />One of my favorite photos is of Ralph Stanley Sr. and his grandson. Although it looks like a simple portrait of a man and his grandson, the story is much deeper. Barnwell said Stanley is quite a serious man and it was very difficult to capture captivating pictures of him that Barnwell felt showed the essence of who Stanley was. It wasn't until Stanley's grandson came to visit that a smile crossed his face and he lit up for the camera. Barnwell was pleased to capture a touching moment between a famous musician and his family. <br /><br />One of Barnwell’s goals is to strip away society’s expectations of portraiture exemplified by contemporary photos of celebrities. He said people are so used to seeing pictures of celebrities, but not knowing any information about the person in the picture. In Barnwell’s photos, viewers already know the backgrounds of the subjects while the photograph weaves a story.<br /><br />Understanding an artist is the key to understanding an artist's work. Just as Barnwell had to understand his subjects, we also learned more about him! At the Art Break, we learned there is more to his photos than people creating crafts and music - it is a celebration of traditional art that is slipping away before us. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://ashevilleart.podbean.com/2010/06/">Here is the link to a podcast series of Barnwell’s Art Break talk</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
