Centered on The Mall in Washington, D.C., the Institution operates major faci- lities and activities throughout the country and overseas. It is one of the world's leading research centers and encompasses the world's largest museum complex, attracting millions of visitors annually to its museums, galleries and zoological park. Many others also view Smithsonian traveling exhibitions, which appear across the United States and abroad, and the annual Folklife Festival. As custodian of the National Collections, the Smithsonian possesses more than 100 million art objects, natural history specimens and artifacts. These collections are displayed for the enjoyment and education of visitors and are available for research by the staff of the Institution and by hundreds of visiting students, scientists and historians each year. Other significant study efforts draw their data and results directly from terrestrial, marine and astrophysical obser- vations at various Smithsonian installations. The Smithsonian complex presently consists of 13 exhibition buildings in Washington, D.C. and New York City in the fields of science, history, technology and art; a zoologi- cal park in Washington, D.C. and an animal conservation and research center near Front Royal, Virginia; the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum, which performs research and exhibit activities in a low income area of the city in cooperation with the community; a preser- vation, storage and air and spacecraft display facility at Suitland, Maryland; two natural preserves in Panama and on the Chesapeake Bay; a photo-biological laboratory in Rockville, Maryland; an oceanographic research facility at Link Port, Florida; astrophy- sical stations in Massachusetts and Arizona; and supporting administrative, laboratory and storage areas. Effective by mid-1986, the Smithsonian Institution will be reorganized along more functional lines to achieve strengthened coordination and oversight of related programs. The position of Assistant Secretary for Museums has been established combining the line responsibilities previously held by the Assistant Secretaries for History and Art and Museum Programs. All museums and closely related program and supportive activities are being assigned to this position. Similarly, the position of Assistant Secretary for Research has been established, replacing the Assistant Secretary for Science, with direct responsibility for the Institution's research programs and certain closely related sup- portive activities. It is expected that these two new Assistant Secretaries will work closely together in oversight of the total body of work under their purview. In another action, the development function has been redefined to allow bureaus and offices to exer- cise more direct fund-raising efforts in coordination with the Office of Membership and Development. These changes are not reflected in this budget. Smithsonian Goals and Functions The goal of the Smithsonian Institution is to promote the increase and diffusion of knowledge. To accomplish this goal, the Smithsonian conducts a broad variety of programs alone and in cooperation with other institutions, universities and government agencies in the United States and abroad. These programs include: — Collections management : The Smithsonian Institution has the legal responsibility (20 U.S.C. 59) to serve as the official repository of the National Collections which contain more than 100 million art, technological and cultural history objects and natural history and anthropological specimens and artifacts. The responsibility involves the acquisition, documentation and conservation of these — materials along with detailed record keeping or cataloguing, regular inventories and storage or display in secure and atmospherically controlled environments. — Basic research : The Smithsonian, by virtue of its staff, collections, data bases and research facilities, is a unique international resource in basic research. Complementing industrial, Federal and university research, the Smithsonian's long- terra research activities provide critical continuity to the Nation's research enterprise in a number of disciplines. Smithsonian research serves as the foun- dation for the Institution's public activities. The accuracy and currency of the Institution's exhibitions and the quality of its public education programs depend directly on the research of the staff. —Exhibitions, including performances and festivals or celebrations : These pre- sentations constitute one means of diffusing knowledge on a wide scale. In Washington, D.C. and New York City, Smithsonian museums , galleries and the zoolog- ical park devote exhibit space to showing significant objects, specimens and animals from the permanent collections. In addition, temporary exhibitions with loan materials enhance these presentations, adding fresh concepts and ideas further enriching visitor experiences. Through the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, over 100 exhibitions are seen annually by millions of people in most states and the District of Columbia. Live perfor- mances, festivals, celebrations, lectures and records also are enjoyed by millions of people. — -Education : Education programs of the Institution offer enormous variety in content and form; they range from in-depth, scholarly symposia to activities for fun and enjoyment and reach all ages from young children to senior citizens. They include classes and workshops, guided tours by trained docents, and radio, television and motion picture programs, sponsored by the individual museums and by centralized offices including Fellowships and Grants, Symposia and Seminars, and Elementary and Secondary Education.

  • Whistler's 'Peacock Room' Reinterpreted at the V&A
    Visual Arts Whistler’s ‘Peacock Room’ reinterpreted at the V&A The installation by Darren Waterston is, like the original, an ‘overbearing exercise in decadence’ ‘Filthy Lucre’, Darren Waterston’s installation, a recreation of Whistler’s ‘Peacock Room’ © Amber Gray Lucy Watson JANUARY 24 2020 Opening this weekend at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is a new installation: a reinterpreted, restaged 19th-century room. It is, according to its 21st-century creator Darren Waterston, “grotesque”. “Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room” was one of the few forays into three dimensions by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the American painter best-known for his austere 1871 portrait of his mother. Completed in 1877, the original was a dining room in a Kensington house, covered in vivid jade and gold chinoiserie murals and commissioned for the home of Frederick Richards Leyland, a shipping magnate, to display his collection of Asian ceramics. The room was completed by Whistler while his patron was abroad. On his return, Leyland hated it. Two years later, Whistler fell into debt, including to Leyland, and was forced to auction his home and studio in Chelsea. There for inspection by the creditors was a painting called “The Gold Scab: Eruption in Frilthy Lucre (The Creditor)” — in which Leyland was caricatured dressed as a peacock, surrounded by bags of money and sitting atop Whistler’s house. As a final withering statement, the painting was placed in the gilt frame that had been designed for the Peacock Room. https://www.ft.com/content/a76066b0-3d80-11ea-a01a-bae547046735 1/28/2020 Whistler’s ‘Peacock Room’ reinterpreted at the V&A | Financial Times 'The Gold Scab: Eruption in Frilthy Lucre (The Creditor)' by James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1879) The original interior is in Washington DC’s Freer Gallery of Art, but the V&A has brought a version to Kensington, moments from the Prince’s Gate apartment for which it was designed.

  • Textiles in Contemporary Art, November 8, 2005-February 5, 2006
    Term Limits: Textiles in Contemporary Art, November 8, 2005-February 5, 2006 Early in the twentieth century, artists of many nationalities began to explore the textile arts, questioning and expanding the definition of art to include fabrics for apparel and furnishings as well as unique textile works for the wall. Their work helped blur, for a time, distinctions among the fields of fine art, craft, and design. By the 1950s and 1960s artists working in fiber, influenced both by their studies in ancient textile techniques and by twentieth-century art theory, began to construct sculptural forms in addition to the more conventional two-dimensional planes. The term Fiber Art was coined in the 1960s to classify the work of artists who chose fiber media or used textile structures and techniques. It was joined in the 1970s by Wearable Art, applied to work that moved Fiber Art into the participatory realm of fashion. These labels did not only define and introduce these movements, they also set them apart, outside the mainstream. Some critics, focusing solely on medium and process, and disregarding conceptual values, associated work in fiber automatically with the terms craft and design, a distinction that renewed old and often arbitrary hierarchieswithin the art community. Although categorization sometimes provides valid context, it is important to remember that any given term has a limited capacity to encompass and explain an object, an idea, or a movement. At the same time, it limits one's ability to perceive creative endeavors without the shadow of another's point of view. The boundaries implied by terminology can marginalize or even exclude artists whose work blurs the traditional lines separating art, artisanry, and industry.

  • Stories of the Beautiful: Narratives of East–West Interchange at the Freer
    Stories of the Beautiful Narratives of East–West Interchange at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Lee Glazer Complex networks of East–West interchange and cross-cultural encoun- ters—what Cynthia Mills, in her introduction to this volume, describes as “dynamic international relationships”—have played a defining role in the formation and development of the Smithsonian Institution’s art museums generally, but perhaps most especially at the Freer Gallery of Art where, as the marketing department once proclaimed, “America meets Asia.”1 When the Freer, the first art museum of the Smithsonian, opened to the public in 1923, it was also one of the first American museums to exhibit Asian objects in an aesthetic rather than ethnographic context, juxtapos- ing them with a select group of contemporary American paintings. As the historian Steven Conn has noted, the Freer posited “a fundamental aes- thetic connection” between past and present, East and West that was based on a cosmopolitan ideal of “sameness, commonality, and especially cultural cross-fertilization.”2 Indeed, when the museum’s founder, Detroit industrialist Charles Lang Freer, offered his collection of Asian antiquities and American art of the Aesthetic Movement to the nation in 1904, he explained to Smithsonian Secretary Samuel P. Langley that in spite of their diversity, his artistic holdings were part of an interconnected series constituting a harmonious aesthetic totality. Like James McNeill Whistler, the expatri- ate American who encouraged Freer’s interest
