AN AMERICAN CONSCIOUSNESS: Robin Holder’s Mid-Career Retrospective January 21 to April 17, 2011

An American Consciousness was the first retrospective exhibition of the internationally acclaimed printmaker and arts educator Robin Holder. Curated by Dorit Yaron, the deputy director of the David C. Driskell Center, the exhibition featured 65 works by the -based artist. Holder makes prints in a layering process: images, words, color and textures are overlaid with an aesthetic that is her own. The social and political consciousness of the works derive from her experiences as a person of mixed racial and cultural backgrounds. This retrospective engaged the viewer in Holder’s commitment, in EXHIBITIONS her words, “to exploring the woven texture of diverse cultures within Robin Holder (American, born 1952), families, communities and societies, through collaging, layering and Map of Nubia VI, 1989, linoleum print mixing printmaking techniques.” The exhibition was organized by the with stencils on rice paper.

This monographic exhibition of 46 paintings surveyed the career and impact of Edmund Lewandowski (1914 – 1998), an influential painter and art educator known for his images of industrial, urban and architectural scenery. The exhibition presented a wide array of these subjects rendered in varied styles and media. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lewandowski was one of the most important second-wave precisionists, who produced impeccably drafted yet poetic images from the industrial landscape as well as taut abstract compositions. His abstractions were largely based on industrial machinery, reflecting his belief that the forms of the machine “are as representative of our culture as temples and sculpture were of the Greeks.” The exhibition was curated by Dr. Valerie Leeds and organized by the Flint Institute of Arts. Edmund Lewandowski (American 1914 – 1998), Dynamo, oil on canvas, 1948. Collection of the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, Michigan, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Harold L. Frank, by exchange.

A place is more than a location on a map. It is the intersection of sets of concepts: physical features, historical significance, the relationships and memories of people, and the plants and animals that inhabit or frequent it. Its geography is therefore of the mind as much as it is of latitude and longitude. The exhibition The Prominence of Place: Dori DeCamillis and Susan Downing- Left: Dori DeCamillis (American, born 1963), Falling White explored different approaches to revealing both the Awake: Bankhead National Forest/Sipsey Wilderness, 2008, mixed media.

The text and placement of the notes locate the scene in a remembered past. Organized by the Mobile Museum of Art.

SHARED EXPRESSIONS 2011 July 22 to September 25, 2011

Shared Expressions 2011, a biennial exhibition composed of work juried from the most prominent art organizations in the Greater Mobile area, continued to be a popular and artistic success.

September 9 to December 4, 2011

This remarkable exhibition of 56 photographs, taken from March to July, 1956, is an intimate look at Elvis Presley at just the time he began his stunning rise from a barely known Memphis singer to his unprecedented stardom as the King of Rock and Roll. Freelance photojournalist Alfred Wertheimer was hired by RCA Victor in 1956 to shoot promotional images of a recently signed 21-year-old recording artist, Elvis Presley. Following the New York shoot, Wertheimer, intrigued by the singer’s charisma and candor, decided to follow Presley. For this period of time, Wertheimer had unparalleled access and documented Elvis on the road, backstage, in concert, in the recording studio and at home in Memphis, Tennissee. Elvis’ manager, “Colonel” Tom Parker, strictly controlled access to the singer just a short time later. The photographs document the remarkable time when Elvis could sit EXHIBITIONS alone at a drugstore lunch counter, just weeks from being one of the most recognizable faces in America.

The Museum’s 266 individual Adult Education programs served a total of 2,262 visitors last year. Lectures, gallery talks and special projects were coordinated with the year’s exhibition schedule.

The contemporary studio glass movement was featured twice, offering the opportunity for area artists to participate. In conjunction with Poetic Containers of Light: The Haverty Collection of International Studio Glass, glass artist Rene Culler, an assistant professor of art at the University of South Alabama, offered her perspectives on glass-making and discussed initiatives of USA’s new glass program at its new facilities. Later in the year, while in Mobile for the opening of their exhibition, Richard Jolley and Tommie Rush: A Life in Glass, the featured artists, assisted by James Breed, conducted a glass-blowing demonstration at the USA “hot shop.” In addition, Ed Edwards conducted a kiln- formed glass workshop at his downtown Mobile studio.

The distinctive content of Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer prompted area photographer Jane Tucker’s gallery discussion, Elvis Enlightened: Using and Appreciating Light in Photography and “It’s Now or Never!”: A Photo Collage Workshop, in which Tucker showed participants how to creatively preserve photographs.

This approach has resulted in better utilization of current resources and broader educational services to an increasingly diverse community.

For thousands of community members who could not otherwise participate in art experiences at the Museum, Outreach continues to provide a variety of programs and events for children and adults, many of whom have never visited the Museum. The result has been an introduction for many of a new life skill – the ability to create and take pleasure in visual art. LOCAL AND REGIONAL CULTURAL AND CIVIC FESTIVALS By providing carefully designed art activities, the Outreach department used easily obtained materials, sequential instruction by trained staff and volunteers, and clear goals to introduce families to engaging and collaborative art experiences. The on-site Family- Friendly Mardi Gras Festival continued to provide a unique total museum experience for participants to explore the “artistry behind the traditions.”

SMALL GROUP SESSIONS Trained art education staff and volunteers traveled throughout Mobile and the Gulf Coast, facilitating art- making opportunities to adult and youth participants with direct tie-ins to current exhibits and objects in the Museum’s permanent collection.

STUDENT AND LOCAL ART EXHIBITS From Museum-sponsored exhibits such as “Who I Am,” where student artists create a vision of the intersection of their heritage and culture, to the 1st Congressional

exhibit sponsored by Representative Jo Bonner, the EDUCATION depth and quality of art instruction along the Gulf Coast is evident. The Education Gallery continues to provide a dedicated space for young artists and their teachers to be exposed to the greater community.

PARTY TIME After producing a new brochure and providing expanded information on the Museum’s website, the Masterpiece Birthday Party program showed a 25 percent increase in reservations over previous years, and has proven to be an attractive alternative for parents and families interested in a more educational party choice.

All Outreach Education activities and programs were developed, organized and facilitated by trained art educators and volunteers. Through regular evaluation of our programs and representative post-program surveys, above: A child enjoys painting en plein air at BayFest.
