    SPRING/SUMMER BULLETIN 2011 vimuseume of artsws and design Dear Friends, Board of Trustees Holly Hotchner LEWIS KRUGER Nanette L. Laitman Director Chairman What a whirlwind fall! Every event seemed in some way or another a new milestone for JEROME A. CHAZEN us all at 2 Columbus Circle. And it all started with a public program that you might have Chairman Emeritus thought would slip under the radar—Blood into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro BARbaRA TOBER Chairman Emerita Jodorowsky. Rather than attracting a small band of cinéastes, this celebration of the Chilean- FRED KLEISNER born, Paris-based filmmaker turned into a major event: not only did the screenings sell Treasurer out, but the maestro’s master class packed our seventh-floor event space to fire-code LINDA E. JOHNSON Secretary capacity and elicited a write-up in the Wall Street Journal! And that’s not all, none other HOllY HOtcHNER than Debbie Harry introduced Jodorowsky’s most famous filmThe Holy Mountain to Director filmgoers, among whom were several downtown art stars, including Klaus Biesenbach, the director of MoMA PS1. A huge fan of this mystical renaissance man, Biesenbach was StaNLEY ARKIN DIEGO ARRIA so impressed by our series that beginning on May 22, MoMA PS1 will screen The Holy GEORGE BOURI Mountain continuously until June 30. And, he has graciously given credit to MAD and KAY BUckSbaUM Jake Yuzna, our manager of public programs, for inspiring the film installation. CECILY CARSON SIMONA CHAZEN MICHELE COHEN Jodorowsky wasn’t the only Chilean artist presented at MAD last fall. Several had works ERIC DObkIN featured in Think Again: New Latin American Jewelry.

    Boise Art Museum Annual Report 2005 – 2006 May 1, 2005 – April 30, 2006 MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FY 2006 marked a successful year for the Boise Art Museum. I am very proud of the staff for continually exceeding extremely high standards and maintaining a passion for the visual arts. Our ambitious exhibition and education programs set the Museum apart as the premier art institution in Idaho! The exhibition A Ceramic Continuum: Fifty Years of the Archie Bray Influence provided an opportunity to showcase BAM’s impressive ceramics collection alongside work from the groundbreaking artist-in-residence program at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Art in Helena, Montana. Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime exhibited this well-known American artist’s paintings and drawings along with photographs by Alfred Stieglitz and Todd Webb. Educational programs related to O’Keeffe, including lectures, studio classes, teacher institutes and demonstrations, gave participants unique, first-hand experiences for understanding the works of art. Internationally recognized artist Hildur Bjarnadóttir of Iceland shared her cultural traditions and methods with teen Girl Scouts in a workshop focused on her exhibition, Hildur Bjarnadóttir: Unraveled. BSU faculty, students, and general BAM audiences attended a discussion with Hildur to learn about her contemporary interpretations of traditional craft forms. The exhibitions The Daily News and Deborah Oropallo: Twice Removed gave students and visitors opportunities to learn about contemporary art inspired by everyday objects such as newspapers, toys, vegetation and internet images. Throughout the year, BAM presented a wide variety of media: paintings in oil, acrylic, and watercolor; traditional and digital prints; photographs; pastel and charcoal drawings; ceramics; fiber; video; and wood and metal sculptures.

Abstract The field of craft has been dominated by debates surrounding types of objects and material, how-tos, lists, and genealogies, and today there is an increasing turn towards craft theories which do not necessarily address an object. This study brings the object back into craft discourse. “Indisciplined Ceramic Outhouses and Blob-like Glass Bunnies: Four Case Studies on Canadian Prairie Ceramics and Glass” is an object- inspired study of the work and craft-related practices of Victor Cicansky (Saskatchewan), Ione Thorkelsson (Manitoba), Marty Kaufman (Alberta), Altaglass (Alberta), and Mireille Perron (Alberta).
