Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

    FY 2012 Annual Report Dear Members and Friends, We launched Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012) with the Currier’s first video exhibition entitled Shifting Terrain. Organized by Assistant Curator Nina Bozicnik, the exhibition featured nine videos by seven accomplished regional artists, all of whom explored the theme of landscape in distinctive ways. From there, we reflected on the dynamic, turbulent decades of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s with iconic images in Backstage Pass: Rock and Roll Photography, organized by the Portland Museum of Art, Maine. The FY12 exhibition program celebrated the Currier’s own growing photography collection in a show organized by Kurt Sundstrom, A New Vision: Modernist Photography in Spring 2012.

The Symposium committee has sought diverse presentations about these three categories hoping to appeal to widely different tastes. Yet perhaps each one of us is a maker and also a conceptualist AND a career minded person, merging many tastes. Might not a collector of art jewelry, who happens to be a business executive, be engaged with our three categories just like a beginning metals student? Of course they are, for we are all brought together by that great cultural bonding agent, art and its creative process. Let us share our different tastes and celebrate our common passions as we gather for a day all about art! We are excited to be part of this grand adventure and pleased to have attracted not only our esteemed speakers but the following organizations, among others, who are contributing toward our programs: The Bellevue Arts Museum The Allied Arts Foundation The Pratt Fine Arts Center Northwest Designer Craftsmen Artist Trust The Northwest Bead Society Facere Jewelry Art Gallery Jewelry Resource and Supply Allcraft Denise Wallace (Chugach Aleut) and Samuel Wallace: Female Mask with Goggles pin/pendant. 1996 Newsletter cover image: Sterling silver and turquoise Belt buckle by Lee Yazzie, Navajo. 2004 2 www.seattlemetalsguild.org The Eleventh Annual Northwest Jewelry and Metals Symposium 2006 Makers : : Careers : : Concepts Mark your calendars for Saturday October 21, 2006, from 8:30am to 6:00pm, and join us at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in lovely Volunteer Park.
