Beyond the Archive: Gallery talk Paintings by Reem Bassous with Deb Nehmad March 26 • 1:30pm • Free December 3, 2015–March 27, 2016 with museum admission

Hawai‘i-based artist Reem Bassous’s new work presents her interrogation of a post-Lebanese Civil War exis- tence, where cultural erasure and assertions oscillate under prolonged political instability. As a survivor of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), Bassous unhinges the memories from her youth and explores the contemporary implications of historic unrest by situ- ating her personal experience in a national trajectory. Instead of recounting the past in archival detail, Bassous has re-conceptualized the human figure as the personification of her generation and as her home city of Beirut, in an effort to describe the shared trauma of a locale and its inhabitants. Bassous’ ghostly figures dissolve into the very material of which they are made, just as Beirut bears the scars of conflict, both ancient and recent, having been built and rebuilt over time—a history that informs the artist’s painting process. Bassous renders the ways in which political crisis is internalized through the use of thick layers of acrylic that blur the distinction between interior and exterior settings; patches of sky and architectural motifs disrupt otherwise domestic environments. This new series echoes the disillusionment caused by recurrent upheaval, and it underscores the artist’s desire to interpret history as a way of stabilizing the present. In Beyond the Archive, Bassous confronts the impact of protracted sectarian strife upon the identity Deborah Nehmad: WASTED of person and place by shifting focus away from an January 29–May 8, 2016 isolated moment in the crisis toward the effects of long-term social conflict endured over many years.

Doris Duke Theatre concession, and special event catering. Silver will work closely with Honolulu Museum of Art Café co-managers Kyle Little and Jackie Walden, and Spalding House Café chef-manager Susan Lai-Hipp. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Silver’s impressive resume includes stints at the opulent Alain Ducasse New York and Le Louis XV in Monaco, as well as landmark Manhattan eatery The ‘21’ Club. He has also done stages in France at Michelin-starred restaurants Les Prés d’Eugénie and Hostellerie de Levernois. Most recently he was executive chef and banquet chef at the Hawai‘i Convention Center, where he learned to cook for thousands and beefed up his management skills. Silver cooked an “audition” lunch for deputy director Allison Wong and tasters she handpicked (including museum trustee Alan Tomonari, who as the former head of Neiman Marcus Honolulu knows a thing or two about restaurants). The chef showed a knack for using (mostly) ingredients already in the café kitchen in fresh, yet simple ways. Dishes included a broccoli soup with parsley cream and dollhouse-size garlic croutons, and a wonderfully crisp on the outside, moist on the inside pan-seared salmon with tomato confit and lemon-dill beurre blanc. Now in the process of learning and evaluating the museum’s food opera- tions, Silver plans to unveil a new Honolulu Museum of Art Café menu in early 2016. Silver sees a direct correlation between what he does and what his new place of employment does. “The power of food is its ability to make people feel happy, satisfied, and entertained,” says Silver. “It’s an artistic craft in that it touches people—that’s what art is for me.

What makes Kuniyuki Susan & Stephen Chamberlin Marilyn Gleysteen Mark Olsen Betty Lou Williams her such a dedicated member? “People come to the library and that’s Donald Laird Diane & Jan Koch-Weser Litheia Hall Phillip Olsen & Gail Hudson Betty & Robert Ching Wo their place to go,” explains Roberta, “it’s their place to relax, calm down, Patricia Lang Paul Chesley Hannelore Herbig Karlyn & William Pearl Margaret & William Won to get away, or cool off, and that’s what the museum is for me.” To her, the Adrienne Wing & Clifford Lau Caroline Choo Ida Holtsinger Misako & John Pearson Marilyn Emi Yabuta museum is a great leveler—“even if you don’t know you like art or need John Levas Timothy Choy Linda & Michael Horikawa Frances Pickens Beatrice T. Yamasaki art, it’s here, there’s something you could relate to. The museum brings Cathy & Steven Levinson Henry Clark, Jr. Mary Imes Cherye & Jim Pierce Sylvianne & Curtis Yee in a diversity of people and is inclusive of everyone.” She rides her bike Deanna & Robert Levy Colette & Jerry Coleman Nancy Jackson Sarah & Duane Preble Barbara Young Violet Loo everywhere and would love more bike racks at the museum to encourage Mary & Sam Cooke Lynne Johnson & Randy Judith Pyle & Wayne Pitluck Jan Zastrow Marlene & William the community to get around Honolulu using alternative transportation.
