SUMMARY:Lecture & Reception for A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Reception for A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso from the Dr. Timothy Collins Collection with Megan Fontanella\, Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York\n\nYoung Picasso in Paris\nTuesday\, July 18 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nMembers: $70 | Non-Members: $100\nEnjoy an exclusive look at A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso from the Dr. Timothy Collins Collection. Megan Fontanella\, Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York will lead the event with a lecture. \nA Graphic Journey presents an insightful gathering of approximately 60 prints by one of the great masters of the 20th Century\, Pablo Picasso. It provides a unique window into a significant era in art history and takes a serious look at the artist’s development and creative process. Best known for his paintings and sculptures\, Picasso was also a major innovator in the medium of printmaking. He made prints throughout his career — his first in 1899\, when he was still a teenager\, and his last in 1972\, when he was 90 years old. \nThe exhibition illustrates the three major phases of Picasso’s printmaking career\, as well as his signature artistic themes. A special feature of this collection is the number of proofs it contains. These proofs illustrate the unique working relationship Picasso maintained with his printers and their workshops\, and allow for close examination of the working process behind it. Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions\, Los Angeles\, CA. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMegan Fontanella is Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance\, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York. Her research encompasses late nineteenth- through mid-twentieth-century European and U.S. avant-gardes\, with a particular focus on dealer networks and collecting patterns. Since joining the institution in 2005\, Fontanella has curated or co-organized over thirty exhibitions for the Guggenheim’s constellation of museums in Bilbao\, New York\, Venice\, and formerly Berlin\, as well as developed shows abroad for the traveling exhibitions program. \nTo mark the opening of the exhibition A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso at the Huntsville Museum of Art\, Guggenheim curator Megan Fontanella examines the artist’s initial forays into Paris as a young man and the impact of the contemporary subjects and styles he encountered there. Pablo Picasso (b. 1881\, Málaga\, Spain; d. 1973\, Mougins\, France) arrived in the city of light from Barcelona in autumn 1900\, during the final weeks of the Exposition Universelle. Though the nineteen-year-old Spaniard spoke little French\, he absorbed everything Paris had to offer over his initial two-month stay\, and again after his return to the capital the following spring through the end of 1901. Picasso patronized not only the art galleries\, but also the bohemian cafés\, raucous nightclubs\, and sensational dance halls that permeated his hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre. Le Moulin de la Galette (ca. November 1900)\, one of the artist’s first paintings in Paris and recently the subject of a conservation research and treatment project at the Guggenheim\, is a highlight from this pivotal juncture in the artist’s development. Picasso’s early work presages the social disenfranchisement that he brought into sharper relief in his subsequent Blue Period (1901–04) through his depictions of the exploited and vulnerable. On the precipice in 1900\, Picasso eventually crafted a singular practice reflective of his time. \nPresenting Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Member Preview Day of Rania Matar: SHE
DESCRIPTION:Member Preview Day\nRania Matar: SHE\nFriday\, August 18 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nMuseum Members Only\nThe Huntsville Museum of Art invites our Museum Members to attend an exclusive\, Members-only preview of our newest exhibition\, Rania Matar: SHE\, the day before it opens to the public. Docents will be leading two tours of this exhibition for our Members. Take a deep dive during your preview day by attending a tour at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. \nBorn and raised in Lebanon\, Rania Matar moved to the United States in 1984. She has dedicated her work to exploring issues of personal and collective identity through photographs of female adolescence and adulthood. Matar works both in the United States and the Middle East in an effort to focus on notions of identity and individuality within the context of the underlying universality of these experiences. \nSHE features 50 large-scale color images of young women in their 20s—the ages of Matar’s own daughters—leaving the cocoon of home and transitioning into womanhood. In earlier projects\, Matar photographed young women in relation to the controlled environment of their bedrooms. Here\, she captures them in the larger arena they find themselves in after leaving home—the global and complicated backdrop that now constitutes their lives in transition. Organized by The Museum Box LLC\, Boston\, MA.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Preview Party for Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Preview Party with Grant Kirkpatrick for Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination\n\nGenerous Support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges \nThursday\, October 12 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nEnjoy an exclusive first look at Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination before it opens to the public. Grant Kirkpatrick will lead the event with a lecture. \nReforestation of the Imagination combines traditional sculpture with augmented reality (AR). By using technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects\, two disparate environments are portrayed. \nThe setting is an apocalyptic landscape far in the future. The initial environment consists of five landmasses\, which support the glass stumps. Except for the painted shelf mushrooms and tree rings on the stumps and logs\, the scene is colorless. The landmasses surround a sixth rocky outcropping that features a large fiberglass stump. The central stump sprouts beautifully grotesque bronze\, then glass appendages. This improbable growth has survived the devastation to create a new botany. \n“Other than the central stump\, the landscape appears at first glance to be barren. Yet\, upon viewing the tree rings aided by AR technology a second environment is revealed. Plants appear (both fruit and flowers) which have evolved from existing flora. They have developed dramatic appendages and the skills necessary to adapt and flourish in this radically different environment. From accessing nutrients in ways that symbiotically improve their surrounding conditions\, to cultivating protections from new threats\, these adaptations are unexpected\, beautiful\, and optimistic. This is nature reimagining itself. The imagination cannot be exterminated. It just recreates itself.” —Ginny Ruffner \nAbout the Artist: \nSeattle-based artist Ginny Ruffner trained at the University of Georgia\, graduating with honors and an MFA in drawing and painting. Ruffner has had more than eighty five solo exhibitions and several hundred group shows\, and her flameworked and mixed-media sculptures and installations can be found in numerous national and international collections. Seattle public art installations include a 30 foot tall kinetic water feature downtown and a permanent installation in the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. Recent augmented reality projects\, in collaboration with Grant Kirkpatrick\, include Weston Riff at Photo Center NW; Branches at Seattle International Film Festival; and Poetic Hybrids at the Seattle Art Museum. She has written two books and been the subject of an award-winning full-length documentary\, A Not So Still Life: The Ginny Ruffner Story (2010). Ruffner has lectured and taught extensively and has served as artist-inresidence at schools and universities around the world. \nGrant Kirkpatrick is an emerging animator and new media artist based in Seattle. After studying at Cornish College of the Arts for three years\, he graduated with a focus on motion design and animation. Coming from a fine arts background\, Kirkpatrick has considerable interest in the intersection of art and technology\, particularly VR/AR\, game design\, and mixed-media work. \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination is organized by the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges\, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative\, Elizabeth and James Eisenstein\, Ed and Kathy Fries\, Shelby and Frederick Gans\, James Renwick Alliance\, Colleen and John Kotelly\, Betty and Whitney MacMillan\, Jacqueline B. Mars\, Kim and Jon Shirley Foundation\, and Myra and Harold Weiss.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Preview Party for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Preview Party with Jeffrey Forgeng for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum\n\nThursday\, November 9 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nEnjoy an exclusive first look at The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum before it opens to the public. Jeffrey Forgeng\, Curator of Arms and Armor and Medieval Art at the Worcester Art Museum\, will lead the event with a lecture. \nFrom the warriors of ancient Greek legends\, to the knights of the Middle Ages\, to the superheroes of today’s popular culture\, the idea of personal body armor has an enduring hold on the human imagination. Armor is as old as human civilization\, and has been used in various forms in societies around the globe\, but full suits of articulated steel plates were made only in Europe\, and only for a brief time in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This exhibition explores the story of armor in its golden age. \nSuits of armor are among the most popular objects with museumgoers\, but there are few significant collections of armor in the Americas. In 2014\, the Worcester Art Museum acquired the Higgins Armory Collection. While most of this rare collection is in storage awaiting the creation of a dedicated arms and armor gallery\, there is a unique opportunity to share these objects with a national and international public. Visitors will discover the diverse and often surprising stories embedded in these powerful objects. Far from the ungainly exoskeleton we often imagine today\, the suit of armor was made to be sleek and stylish—painstakingly engineered\, elegantly designed\, and treasured as the expression of its owner’s taste\, sophistication\, and prowess. \nThis exhibition was organized by the Worcester Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Opening Day - "Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass"
DESCRIPTION:October 25\, 2024 – January 12\, 2025 | Huth\, Boeing\, Salmon & Haws Galleries\n\nClearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass is a first-of-its-kind\, groundbreaking exhibition giving broader and overdue recognition to a wide range of contemporary Native American and indigenous\, Pacific Rim artists working in glass. \nThe stunning art in the exhibition embodies the intellectual content of Native traditions\, newly illuminated by the unique properties that can only be achieved by working with glass. Whether reinterpreting traditional stories and designs in the medium of glass\, or expressing contemporary issues affecting tribal societies\, Native glass artists have created a content-laden body of work. These artists have melded the aesthetics and properties inherent in glass art with their cultural ways of knowing. \nA secondary focus of the exhibition—a historical perspective—presents the fascinating story of how glass art came to Indian country\, mainly through the pioneering work of Lloyd Kiva New (Cherokee)\, a founder of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA)\, and of Dale Chihuly\, who taught the first Native artists to work in glass. While Chihuly is not Native\, he has long wielded a major influence on American Indian glass artists\, and his own art has (in turn) taken inspiration from the designs and shapes of Native basketry and textiles. This comprehensive exhibition is the first of its kind to salute and document the sublime flowering of Native glass art. \n\n \nDr. Letitia Chambers \n\n  \nVisit: hsvmuseum.org/clearly-indigenous-native-visions-reimagined-in-glass-october-25-2024-january-12-2025/ \nDr. Letitia Chambers\, former CEO of the Heard Museum in Phoenix\, Arizona\, curated the exhibition together with artist and museum consultant Cathy Short (Citizen Potawatomi Nation)\, and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, which originated this seminal exhibition. \nThe studio glass art movement began in the 1960’s and has developed into a significant genre of fine art.  The contemporary Native American arts movement also began in the 1960s with the founding of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe.  The book\, Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass\, tells the story of how these two movements came together in the 1970’s when Dale Chihuly\, perhaps the best-known American glass artist and an innovator in the field\, set up a glass art teaching program at IAIA.  Over the nearly 50 years since\, American Indian artists have created an extraordinary body of glass art.  The Clearly Indigenous exhibit showcases the works of the leading Native glass artists. \nClearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass was originated by The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture\, Santa Fe\, New Mexico. The traveling exhibition was curated by Dr. Letitia Chambers\, and is toured by International Arts & Artists. \nOrganized by International Arts & Artists \nLeadership Sponsor\n\nAdditional Support\nHuntsville Museum of Art Guild and Alabama State Council on the Arts
