SUMMARY:Object Lessons: Recollecting Museum Histories at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Kerstin Barndt in collaboration with Richard Barnes and Amanda Krugliak\, with original commissioned artwork by Richard Barnes \nThe history of the modern research university is unthinkable without collecting. At the University Michigan\, the first objects brought to campus in the late 1830s included a piece of copper from the Upper Peninsula\, bird skins\, an Anishinaabe canoe and pressed plants. Today’s collections encompass over 25 million specimens and artifacts. As the last exhibition before the closing of the Natural History Museum in the Ruthven Museums Building\, Object Lessons activates the memory of the museums building and richly illustrates the University of Michigan’s lasting effort to build collections in support of its academic mission and for the public. \nShowcasing original objects dating from 1837 to the present\, Object Lessons affords visitors a synthetic look at 200 years of collecting for science. Museum specimens\, artifacts and documents from the archives bring into focus the University Museum’s importance to early state history\, its first global collecting expeditions\, the changing relationship between culture and nature\, science and religion; and the transformation of research and collecting practices from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Not all of U-M’s historical collections survive; the exhibition reflects this fact by focusing also on the life cycle of collections\, on points of origin and decline\, and on the shifting valorization of objects over time. \nObject Lessons draws on collections housed in the University’s research museums (Paleontology\, Zoology\, and Anthropological Archeology)\, as well as the University Herbarium\, the Museum of Natural History\, the Stephen S. Clark Map Library\, the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the University of Michigan Library. \nMore information can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Curatorial Dilemmas: Representing Africa at UMMA with Pamela McClusky
DESCRIPTION:A series of talks by leading curators and thinkers in African art will launch a reimagining process for the forthcoming reinstallation of the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African Art. Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art. \nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004.\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums. \nAdditional featured speakers include:\nThursday\, October 19\, 7 p.m.: Mary (Polly) Nooter Roberts\, Professor\, UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and Consulting Curator for African Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) \nThursday\, November 30\, 7 p.m.: Christa Clarke\, Senior Curator Arts of Global Africa\, Newark Museum \n  \n\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center. \nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017). \n\nCuratorial_Dilemmas_poster
