Spring/Summer 2016 SPRING/SUMMER 2016 new exhibitions // 03 continuing exhibitions // 08 mam programs // 10 education + outreach // 11 art classes // 12 art park // 14 MAM Award // 15 DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS | Laura J. Millin This year MAM proudly celebrates its 10th anniversary of the Lynda M. Frost Contemporary American Indian Art Gallery, a space devoted exclusively to programming of American Indian artists in perpetuity. The gallery is representative of MAM’s ongoing commitment to provide perspective, foster cultural understanding, and fight racism by exhibiting, collecting, and building educational programs on contemporary American Indian artwork and artists. 02 A turning point occurred in 1997 when Salish artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith started gifting her message-laden, energetic works on paper to MAM’s collection to create a holding of her work near her home, the Flathead Indian Reservation. The seed that Jaune planted, along with our sorely missed friend and patron Marshall Delano, has blossomed into the Lynda M. Frost Contemporary American Indian Art Gallery, and a concerted focus in the Permanent Collection of art by Indian artists that today consists of 170 objects and is recognized nationally. A recent bequest from the estate of Helga and Bill Hosford dedicated to purchases of Contemporary American Indian Art greatly assists our efforts to add to this collection. To honor and build on these achievements, MAM is planning to host a series of residencies and exhibitions with contemporary American Indian artists over the next few years that will provide new opportunities for living artists to create work, interact with the public, and generate new scholarship and public resource materials while strengthening and expanding this imperative collection. Upcoming residencies include collaboration with the UM School of Art and Matrix Press to bring Sara Siestreem back to Missoula in Fall 2016, followed by Molly Murphy-Adams in Spring 2017. Ryan Fedderson will create a site-specific installation designed for MAM. A bronze sculpture created by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith specifically for permanent placement in the Missoula Art Park is in the early design phase. In addition, Senior Curator Brandon Reintjes will teach an art history course at UM on Contemporary American Indian Art incorporating MAM’s collection and upcoming exhibitions. With these important programmatic initiatives, we strive to address an ever broader public with a fresh view of MAM’s mission, while defying traditional notions and stereotypes of art created in and about the West, Western art, and “Indians” which still dominate the region. Certainly we hope to reinforce MAM’s identity as the source for contemporary art in the region. In closing, I wish to express our sorrow over the loss of Rick Bartow (December 16, 1946 – April 2, 2016), who touched all of us deeply through his art in Dogs Journey: A 20-Year Survey, exhibited in MAM’s Frost Gallery in 2012, and with his generous and playful spirit as a storyteller and teacher in two visits to MAM in 2012 and 2014. We are pleased to present Rick’s expressive art again this summer in the group show Not Vanishing: Contemporary Expressions in Indigenous Art because, of course, his profound vision will live on forever though his art.

The precise marks reveal a microcosm within the whole image and reflect on the meditative nature of Shimoda’s art-making. In contrast to the drawings are a series of painted six-inch cubes. Where Shimoda’s drawings are abstractions and use all over mark-making across the page, the cubes are instead purely reductive. Shimoda moves to a three-dimensional surface but one that is pure in form. The surface texture reveals layers of white paint worked over the dark marks underneath, erasing by addition, and reducing the final image to an elemental state. A counterpoint to the drawings and paintings is a set of small artist books. The pictures in the accordion folded books are representational drawings of flora and fauna that Shimoda has encountered on her walks. The realistic depictions of nature are an accessible entry into the work in the exhibition. Each body of work displays the contemplative and meticulous approach in Shimoda’s work, and encourages the viewer to look at the natural world in a different way.

One of the museum’s most treasured col- lections was featured in The Movement of Impressionism: Europe, America, and the Northwest, a survey of how a painting style spread from late 19th-century Paris to the Northwest. The museum’s works by Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Au- guste Renoir along with works by Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, and others were supplemented by important loans of Northwest impressionists. The winter season featured The Secret Language of Animals, a two-gallery exhibition exploring the changing ways artists used animals as symbols for human relationships across three centuries of American and European art.

  • BPA's Native American Art Collection
    NATIVE AMERICAN ART COLLECTION BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION BPA’s Native American Art Collection 1 BPA’s Native American Art Collection Cover art: “Vision Seekers,” Virgil “Smoker” Marchand, p. 12 Introduction Since the 1980s, BPA has built an art collection featuring significant paintings, prints and sculptures in the Native American tradition. The collection represents the breadth and diversity of expression found in the traditional forms as interpreted by contemporary artists. BPA’s collection reflects the agency’s strong commitment to the diverse history, culture, landscape and peoples of the region. We decided to publish this brochure in celebration of Native American Heritage Month, to share insights into the artists and the artworks in our collection. As a steward of the region’s land and waters, BPA acknowledges its ongoing role in respecting and protecting the environment and all of its cultural resources. Recognizing the tribal histories, and their continuing resonance is of the utmost importance. As we work in consultation with Native American nations, we seek to support and honor their cultural traditions as well as contemporary interpretations. BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION Letter from the Sound Pat Austin, 1935 Moving to Alaska in 1965, Pat Austin found a place of artistic inspiration and a supportive and dynamic arts community. She would stay there for over three decades, teaching printmaking at University of Alaska, holding solo shows at the Anchorage Art Museum, and publishing poetry. At the time this print was made and acquired by BPA, in the 1980s, Austin was widely celebrated for her prints inspired by the Alaskan landscape, history, and way of life.

  • Visitor's Guide
    VISITOR’S GUIDE September 9, 2017 through February 11, 2018 All quotes by Louise Erdrich from her novel The Round House “From the government’s point of view, the only way you can tell an Indian is an Indian is to look at that person’s history. There must be ancestors from way back who signed some document or were recorded as Indians by the U.S. government, someone identi- fied as a member of a tribe. And then after that you have to look at that person’s blood quantum, how much Indian blood they’ve got that belongs to one tribe. In most cases, the government will call the person an Indian if their blood is one quarter—it usually has to be from one tribe. But that tribe has also got to be federally recognized. In other words, being an Indian is in some ways a tangle of red tape. On the other hand, Indians know other Indi- ans without the need for a federal pedigree, and this knowledge—like love, sex, or having or not having a baby—has nothing to do with government.” p. 30. Ka’ila Farrell-Smith painted this work when she became a member of a federally recognized tribe. She presents her enrollment number on the blan- ket’s red stripe. Describe her painted response to this experience. How does tribal enrollment affect the story of The Round House? What are you a member of, and do your memberships define Ka’ila Farrell-Smith your identity? Enrollment, 2014 Oil on canvas “During the old days when Indians could not prac- tice their religion—well, actually not such old days: pre-1978—the round house had been used for ceremonies.” p.
