  • Curator of Native American Art DEPARTMENT: Curatorial SUPERVISOR: Chief Curator DIRECT REPORTS: None LAST REVISION DATE: August 2020
    POSITION DESCRIPTION POSITION TITLE: Curator of Native American Art DEPARTMENT: Curatorial SUPERVISOR: Chief Curator DIRECT REPORTS: none LAST REVISION DATE: August 2020 The Montclair Art Museum is conducting a search to fill a three-year position of Curator of Native American Art. Funded by the Luce Foundation, the position offers an exciting opportunity for the Curator to work with the Museum’s renowned collection of Native art of North America. Overview The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) is currently accepting applications for a three- year, grant funded position of Curator of Native American Art. The Museum’s goal is to engage in further fundraising to establish this position as permanent. The selected hire will have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the presentation of MAM’s renowned collection of Native art of North America in its dedicated Rand Gallery and throughout the Museum more broadly. The Curator will work to achieve key goals of engaging current, innovative ideas around the representation of Indigenous communities and art museum collections and exhibitions, via collaborative approaches. Throughout the three- year period, the Curator will have access to an eight member Advisory Board of leading Native and non-Native scholars and artists, as well as MAM’s Chief Curator, all of whom will offer ideas and perspectives for consideration in developing the Museum’s Native American programs. The Curator will oversee the presentation of the Fall 2021 incoming traveling exhibition, Color Riot!, from the Heard Museum, featuring Navajo textiles from c. 1860 to 2018. Additional projects will include curating a site-specific artistic intervention opening in early 2022, and will culminate in September 2023 with a new installation of the Museum’s Native American collections in the Rand Gallery.

Like a snapshot it captures a moment in time, one that tells a compelling story that is rich in detail and resonates with meaning about the subject it represents. With this analogy in mind, we hope that as you read this account of our operations during fiscal year 2012 you will not only appreciate all that has been accomplished at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but also see how this work has served to fulfill the mission of this institution through the continued development and care of our collection, the presentation of a broad range of exhibitions and programs, and the strengthening of our relationship to the com- munity through education and outreach. In this regard, continuity is vitally important. In other words, what the Museum was founded to do in 1876 is as essential today as it was then. Fostering the understanding and appreciation of the work of great artists and nurturing the spirit of creativity in all of us are enduring values without which we, individually and collectively, would be greatly diminished. If continuity—the responsibility for sustaining the things that we value most—is impor- tant, then so, too, is a commitment to change.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “Politics of Snow II” Paintings by Diane Burko Bernstein Gallery, Princeton University Exhibition dates: April 4 – May 19, 2011 Politics of Snow II will be held in conjunction with a panel discussion featuring Michael Oppenheimer, the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs Department of Geosciences and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The panel discussion will take place on April 21, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. in Bowl 016, Robertson Hall, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ. A public reception will follow the panel discussion at 6 p.m. in the Bernstein Gallery adjacent to Bowl 016. Contact: Kate Somers Ph: 609.497.2441 Politics of Snow II is a series of sweeping views of majestic glaciers and mountains by Philadelphia artist, Diane Burko, who has spent most of her long and productive career creating landscapes in the tradition of the Hudson River School. But in this series, the paintings are not landscapes meant to transport viewers into a contemplative reverie on the sublime qualities of nature. If they are meant to do so, it is only temporary, because Burko’s mission is to wake us out of that reverie and force us to bear witness to man’s imprint on our natural world as it manifests itself in global warming. Using archival photographs of glaciers as starting points, Burko pairs these images in diptychs and triptychs, and other multiple configurations, with contemporary views of the same landscape 10, 50 or 100 years later.
