This event is free to NOMA members (admission prices to apply for other visitors) and open to the public\, along with a reception following the talk on NOMA’s third floor. For more information about the 14th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium\, titled “Monumental Landscapes: How the Maya Shaped Their World\,” please visit the university’s website. \nMusic for the night is by the Arpa Quartet\, a Latin jazz group\, from 5:30 – 8:30. \nABOUT DR. ARLEN CHASE AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN CARACOL\, BELIZE\nAt A.D. 650 the city of Caracol\, Belize\, covered more than 200 square kilometers and was economically and socially integrated through a dendritic road system that connected the city’s edges with its central hub\, an architectural complex rising some 143 feet above its adjacent plaza. The inhabitants of the city\, numbering at least 100\,000 people\, resided in over 9\,000 residential groups. These household groups produced goods for broader distribution and shared in a distinctive Caracol cultural and religious identity; their residential units were also intermixed with extensive agricultural terracing that served their subsistence needs. Public architecture and plazas were localized at causeway termini and junctions throughout the city and served administrative and economic purposes. When examined holistically\, Caracol’s impact on the ancient Maya world was substantial. The city constituted a monumental ancient Maya landscape not only for its site size and population\, the scale of its agricultural terraforming\, and the ritual integration of its its populace\, but also for its interaction with\, and at least temporary incorporation of\, other Maya sites within its political sphere (specifically Naranjo and Tikal in Guatemala). Thus\, while a relative “latecomer” among Maya centers\, Caracol is a paramount example of how the Maya could and did shape their world. \nArlen F. Chase (Ph.D. 1983\, University of Pennsylvania) joined the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas in August 2016 as a professor in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. For the previous 32 years of his career\, he was at the University of Central Florida where he last served as an associate dean in the College of Sciences and as a Pegasus Professor in Anthropology. His research interests focus on archaeological method and theory in the Maya area with particular emphasis on contextual\, settlement\, and ceramic analysis and secondary interests on urbanism\, ethnicity\, and epigraphic interpretation. For 33 years he has co-directed annual excavations at Caracol\, Belize; before that he worked on a seven-year project at Santa Rita Corozal\, Belize. He has also carried out fieldwork in the countries of Guatemala and Mexico as well as in Arizona and Pennsylvania in the United States. He has authored over 150 articles and book chapters. His writings may be found at www.caracol.org.

This exhibition celebrates the theater and spectacle of Venice—in public and private life—in paintings\, costumes\, furnishings\, glass and ceremonial regalia. Renowned for its beauty and singularity\, Venice played a central role in the history of Western art. In the 18th century the city experienced a revival in the arts and was the premier destination for intellectuals and travelers. The city and its inhabitants cultivated and eulogized a tradition of street life\, festivals and fashion. \nGuest curated by Giandomenico Romanelli\, the former director of the Civic Museums of Venice\, A Life of Seduction examines this culture of display and sensuality through four primary themes: A City That Lives on Water\, The Celebration of Power\, Aristocratic Life in Town and Country and The City As Theater. \nVanessa Schmid\, Senior Research Curator for European Art\, will guide visitors through this timely exhibition\, opening eleven days prior to Mardi Gras\, past paintings that depict Carnival in Venice along with 18th-century masks and costumes. Schmid contributed an essay to the catalogue that will accompany this exhibition on an exceptional series of paintings by Joseph Heintz the Younger.

Born in Martinique\, raised in Paris\, she studied piano for many years before moving to New York City where she joined the Living Theater and then decided to devote her life entirely to music. She studied guitar with Ted Dunbar through the Jazz Mobile program. She started to play electric bass with blues harmonicist Sugar Blue\, with whom she toured with Memphis Slim\, Louisiana Red and Willie Mabon.

Combine this with her divine appearance onstage and welcoming demeanor\, which creates a uniquely personal entertaining experience\, for both large and more intimate audiences. Perhaps her greatest feature\, however\, is her New Orleans style\, bringing the listener back to the bayous of Louisiana she calls home. Her shows are fun\, sultry\, old-fashioned\, sexy\, and sometimes silly; a musical journey to the Crescent City. \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-family-art-activities-jayna-morgan-music/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Friday_Nights_at_NOMA_logo-1375216699.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170120T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170120T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T084252 CREATED:20161222T201545Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161223T151247Z UID:20082-1484931600-1484946000@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Gallery Talk on George Dunbar\, Amanda Shaw music DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30  to 8:30 pm: Music by Amanda Shaw\n6 pm: George Dunbar: Elements of Chance: Gallery Talk with Katie Pfhol\n\nAbout George Dunbar\nJoin curator Katie Pfohl as she gives a Gallery Talk entitled George Dunbar: Landscape and Place. \nThis talk explores NOMA’s current exhibition George Dunbar: Elements of Chance\, focusing on Dunbar’s role in introducing abstract art to the South. Dunbar’s richly textured works explore abstract art’s connection to landscape and place\, and this talk will introduce Dunbar’s unique vision for abstraction and highlight Louisiana’s pivotal—if widely underestimated—role in the broader story of 20th century American art. \nAbout Amanda Shaw\n\nAt 24 years old\, fiddle player and singer\, Amanda Shaw is part of the new breed of young\, roots-based musicians (i.e.\, Lumineers\, Mumford\, Ed Sharp\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, Alabama Shakes) who have embraced both traditional sounds and pop sounds of the mainstream. Her roots lie in Louisiana\, mixing her classically trained violin playing with Cajun dancehall melodies and vocals that drip sweet cherry pie and southern girl grit.  Amanda counts Loretta Lynn\, Dolly Parton\, Shania Twain\, Chrissie Hynde\, and Bonnie Raitt as her primary influences. Not only for their strong vocals and powerful styles\, but also because they broke new ground with their crossover success and successfully integrating the sound of their roots to the mainstream and this reflects in her own girl-powered sexy\, sassiness of her live performances\, her sharp witty lyrics and her fashion statements. Amanda has spent her youth implementing the same mission as her role models\, becoming one of the leading Cajun fiddlers today. Her deep talent led to becoming one of the youngest headliners at music festivals not only throughout the world. \n\n  \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-gallery-talk-george-dunbar-amanda-shaw-music/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/WIDGET-George-Dunbar-portrait.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170113T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170113T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T084252 CREATED:20161222T195651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170531T193459Z UID:20077-1484326800-1484341200@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: "Celebrating the Senses" lecture\, Hockney film DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30 to 8:30 pm: Music by Ben Redwine\n6:30 pm: Seeing Nature lecture: Vanessa Schmid: Celebrating the Senses\n8 to 9 pm: Film: David Hockney: A Bigger Picture\n\nAbout Celebrating the Senses\nVisitors to the Seeing Nature exhibition have been captivated by Jan Brueghel the Younger’s exquisite paintings of the five senses. NOMA curator Vanessa I. Schmid will focus on the series in her lecture and tour on Friday evening. We will start in the auditorium with a lecture to give context for the paintings\, including: the tradition of ‘Kunstkammer’ (or curiosity chambers of wonders)\, Jan Brueghel’s art (and that of the Brueghel Dynasty)\, and Antwerp as a port and artistic center in the period. The second half of the discussion will take place in the galleries. Schmid previewed the Seeing Nature exhibition in a NOMA video. \nAbout David Hockney: A Bigger Picture\nFilmed over three years\, this documentary is an unprecedented record of a major artist at work. It captures David Hockney’s return from California to paint his native Yorkshire\, outside\, through the seasons and in all weathers. It tells the story of a homecoming and gives a revealing portrait of what inspires and motivates today’s greatest living British-born artist. (2009\, 60 minutes) A colossal landscape by Hockney is included in NOMA’s current Seeing Nature exhibition. \nAbout Ben Redwine\nNew Orleans based clarinetist Ben Redwine feels equally comfortable playing Brahms or Ellington. He is devoted to the performance of new classical music and old jazz\, as well as to teaching the next generation of performers and teachers. He served as an Assistant Professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington\, DC from 2012-2016.

Nunn has transferred the time period to the Victorian Era of the late 19th century. Two twins\, Viola (Imogen Stubbs) and Sebastian (Steven MacKintosh)\, are separated when their ship capsizes. Each believes that the other has drowned. Viola washes ashore on the coast of Illyria. She disguises herself as a man and assumes the name Cesario so that she can take a position as an aide to the Duke\, Orsinio (Toby Stephens). Orsinio desires Olivia (Helena Bonham Carter)\, who refuses his attentions. He also flirts with Maria (Imelda Staunton)\, Olivia’s maid. Orsinio sends Cesario as an emissary to Olivia. The foppish Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Richard E. Grant) also seeks Olivia’s love. He is a friend of her besotted uncle\, Sir Toby Belch (Mel Smith). With the clownish philosopher Feste (Ben Kingsley)\, all these members of Olivia’s household plot to embarrass the dour Malvolio (Nigel Hawthorne)\, a butler who has no tolerance for frivolity. They fool Malvolio into thinking that Olivia desires him\, and when he confesses his love\, Olivia orders him imprisoned as a madman. Sebastian then turns up and is mistaken for Cesario. A series of mishaps follows. (1996\, 125 minutes) \nAbout Cathy Anderson\nCatherine Anderson promotes the harp as an instrument of beauty\, healing\, and artistry.

In this lecture\, Dr. Rachael DeLue considers this question\, characterizing the manner in which European and American artists from various time periods and regions approached the representation of nature as a unique way of seeing and understanding the world. Focusing on works from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection\, Dr. DeLue discusses how translating nature in all its vastness and complexity into pictorial form through paint and canvas—as a geographer would with topographic surveys and maps—provided these artists and their audiences with a way of deriving profound meaning from nature’s infinitely varied phenomena and forms. \nAbout Rachael Z. DeLue\nRachael Z. DeLue is Associate Professor of art history at Princeton University.  She specializes in the history of American art and visual culture\, with particular focus on intersections among art\, science\, and the history and theory of knowledge.  She is currently at work on a study of Charles Darwin’s diagram of evolution in On the Origin of Species as well as a book about impossible images.  She serves as the editor-in-chief of the Terra Foundation Essays\, and she edited Picturing (2016)\, the first volume in the series.  Publications include George Inness and the Science of Landscape (2004)\, Landscape Theory (2008\, co-edited with James Elkins)\, and Arthur Dove: Always Connect (2016). \n  \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-seeing-nature-lecture-rachael-z-delue/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Manet.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20161209T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20161209T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T084252 CREATED:20161118T222209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170531T194121Z UID:19361-1481301000-1481317200@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Author Maxwell Anderson and artist Scott Andresen DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art On the Spot\n5:30 to 8:30 pm: Music: The Ramblin’ Letters\n6 pm: Book signing: Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know by Maxwell Anderson\n7 pm:  Artist Perspective with Scott Andresen: George Dunbar: The Practice of Cultivation. As a planner and builder Dunbar manipulated the landscape around him\, many of these processes became forms of inspiration in his art. This talk will focus on how aspects of personal narrative find their way into an abstract artistic practice by exploring many integral series of George Dunbar’s career.\n\nAbout Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know by Maxwell Anderson\nThe destruction of ancient monuments and artworks by the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has shocked observers worldwide. Yet iconoclastic erasures of the past date back at least to the mid-1300s BCE\, during the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt’s 18th dynasty. Far more damage to the past has been inflicted by natural disasters\, looters\, and public works. \nArt historian Maxwell Anderson’s Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know analyzes continuing threats to our heritage\, and offers a balanced account of treaties and laws governing the circulation of objects; the history of collecting antiquities; how forgeries are made and detected; how authentic works are documented\, stored\, dispersed\, and displayed; the politics of sending antiquities back to their countries of origin; and the outlook for an expanded legal market. Anderson provides a summary of challenges ahead\, including the future of underwater archaeology\, the use of drones\, remote sensing\, and how invisible markings on antiquities will allow them to be traced. \nAbout Scott Andresen\nScott Andresen is an artist who lives and works in New Orlean. His collage and mixed media based works explore themes of repair and the joining of the unlikely. He received his MFA from Yale University and BA from Hunter College and has over 50 group and solo exhibitions to his name including the Jack Tilton Gallery\, Lehmann Maupin Gallery\, Exit Art\, Naples Museum of Art and The Bronx Museum. He has attended residencies at Socrates Sculpture Park and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council while also receiving grants from New York Foundation for the Arts\, the Pollock Krasner Foundation\, and the Jacob Javits Fellowship. Scott is an Assistant Professor at the LSU School of Art where he oversees the Foundations program. \nAbout The Ramblin’ Letters\nFormed in 2008\, The Ramblin’ Letters have become one of New Orleans’ most popular bluegrass bands. The Ramblin’ Letters are Michael Millet on guitar and lead vocals\,  John Norwood on dobro and mandolin\, John Depriest on banjo\, Harry Hardin on fiddle\, and Will Jordan on upright bass. They play traditional and gospel bluegrass in the old time style.

Thomas (David Hemmings) is a nihilistic\, wealthy fashion photographer in mod “Swinging London.” Filled with ennui\, bored with his “fab” but oddly lifeless existence of casual sex and drug use\, Thomas comes alive when he wanders through a park\, stops to take pictures of a couple embracing\, and upon developing the images\, believes that he has photographed a murder. Pursued by Jane (Vanessa Redgrave)\, the woman who is in the photos\, Thomas pretends to give her the pictures\, but in reality\, he passes off a different roll of film to her. Thomas returns to the park and discovers that there is\, indeed\, a dead body lying in the shrubbery: the gray-haired man who was embracing Jane. Has she murdered him\, or does Thomas’ photo reveal a man with a gun hiding nearby? Antonioni’s thriller is a puzzling\, existential\, adroitly assembled masterpiece. (111 minutes) \nAbout Calvin Johnson\, Jr.\nCalvin A. Johnson Jr (born November 21\, 1985) is a saxophonist\, composer\, bandleader\, and actor born and raised in New Orleans\, Louisiana. A third-generation musician\, Calvin has played the saxophone since age 7\, and has studied under Edward “Kidd” Jordan\, as well as Clyde Kerr Jr. and Kent Jordan at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA).

Tonight we celebrate William A. Fagaly\, the Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art\, who has retired from the New Orleans Museum of Art after fifty years of service. Come help us toast Bill and send him off in style! \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art On the Spot\n5:30 to 8:30 pm: Music: Bamboula 2000\n6 pm to 8 pm: John R. Kemp book signing\n7 pm: Film: ART 21: Boundaries\n\nAbout Bamboula 2000\nBamboula 2000 is deeply rooted in the soul of Congo Square in New Orleans. This exciting music and dance experience formed 22 years ago in 1994 has become beloved in New Orleans and beyond. Bamboula 2000’s music is influenced by New Orleans\, the Caribbean and Africa. The group has won the prestigious Big Easy Award for Best World Music group three times and has been nominated 8 times. In addition\, Bamboula 2000 reaches thousands of children annually through their Imagination Tour dance and drum workshops. \nWorld music percussionist\, Luther Gray\, leads the group. He has performed all over the world with Bamboula 2000 and The Guardians of the Flame Mardi Gras Indians. \nBamboula 2000 spans three hundred years of Congo Square history and culture yet continues to innovate in the 21st century. \nAbout ART 21: Boundaries\nWho and what limits our freedom of expression? In what ways do cultural differences affect our understanding of art and other forms of communication? How do an artist’s process and choice of medium affect our perception of his or her work? This episode features artists who synthesize disparate aesthetic traditions\, present taboo subject matter\, discover innovative uses of media\, and explore the shape-shifting potential of the human figure. \nDavid Altmejd’s sculptures\, suffused with ornament\, blur distinctions between interior and exterior\, surface and structure\, representation and abstraction. The collective assume vivid astro focus fuses sculpture\, video\, drawing\, and performance into carnivalesque installations in which gender\, politics\, and cultural codes float freely. Sculptor Lynda Benglis‘s radical and pioneering invention of new forms with unorthodox techniques contains within it a reverence for cultural references that trace back to antiquity. Tabaimo‘s drawings and video installations probe unsettling themes of isolation\, contagion\, and instability that seem to lurk beneath daily existence in contemporary Japan. \nAbout John R. Kemp\n\nIn the Museum Shop\, author John R. Kemp will sign his new book “Expressions of Place: The Contemporary Louisiana Landscape.” Kemp embarks on a journey across the rural and urban landscapes of Louisiana via the talents of thirty-seven artists. Kemp writes about Southern artists for numerous regional\, national\, and international magazines and covers the New Orleans art scene for the New Orleans public television show Steppin’ Out.

She was born and raised in a rural Missouri town nestled between St. Louis and Memphis. The result is music influenced by rock\, blues\, jazz\, folk\, country\, r&b\, gospel\, small towns\, big dreams\, and a hodge-podge of everything growing in the Mississippi River delta. \nAfter an undergraduate career spent mostly on the tennis courts and in the painting studios of Southeast Missouri State University\, Amanda landed in New Orleans to pursue a degree from Tulane Law School in the heart of musical and artistic creativity. It has been this city’s authentic spirit of rebirth and creation that has given rise to Amanda’s most recent musical endeavors. Her music revels in the notion of rising from ashes and reincarnating oneself with each life lesson. It is a collage of snapshots of pure emotion that come from living each day to the fullest. \nAbout Woman in Gold\nSix decades after WWII\, an elderly Jewish woman (Helen Mirren) returns to Vienna in order to reclaim family belongings that were once seized by the Nazis in this poignant drama based on a true story. Chief among those items is the Gustav Klimt painting “The Lady in Gold.” With the help of her ambitious young lawyer (Ryan Reynolds)\, the woman takes her fight all the way from Austria to the U.S. Supreme Court.

By blending the most compelling aspects of chamber music and opera\, Lyrica Baroque represents a new expression of classical music\, one that appeals to chamber music lovers\, opera lovers\, and symphony lovers alike. \nWhether playing baroque\, classical or their own arrangements\, Lyrica Baroque combines the soaring beauty of operatic singing with the exquisite sounds of woodwinds\, strings\, and piano. The result is an intimate\, vocally inspired interpretation that infuses the repertoire with great variety and drama. \nAbout Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection\nSeeing Nature explores the development of landscape painting\, from a small window on the world to interpretations of artists’ personal experiences with their surroundings on land and sea. It reveals the power of landscape to locate the viewer in time and place—to record\, explore\, and understand the natural and man-made world. This exhibition presents masterpieces spanning five centuries by artists such as Paul Cézanne\, David Hockney\, Edward Hopper\, Gustav Klimt\, Claude Monet\, Thomas Moran\, Georgia O’Keeffe\, Gerhard Richter and J.M.W. Turner. \nIn the 19th century\, the early impressionists focused on direct observation of nature. This exhibition is particularly strong in the works of Claude Monet. Five Monet landscapes spanning 30 years are featured\, from views of the French countryside to one of his late representations of water lilies\, Le Bassin aux Nymphéas of 1919. Cézanne and his fellow post‐impressionists used a more subjective approach to creating works such as La Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1888-90). Also on view is Austrian painter Gustav Klimt’s rare landscape masterpiece\, Birch Forest of 1903\, exhibited for the first time since 2006. \nSeveral works in the exhibition offer varying interpretations of a single location. Venice’s romantic vista is seen through multiple lenses\, from Canaletto’s detailed renderings\, to J.M.W. Turner and Thomas Moran’s dreamy visions\, to Manet’s photographic crispness and Monet’s nearly abstract composition.

Dubbed by Offbeat Magazine as “One of the hardest working musicians in New Orleans” she performs in a wide range of musical acts\, most importantly her own band that performs her original music. She is also leader of Muevelo\, a hot Salsa band that performs Cuban music. She is one of The Honeypots\, a dynamic harmonious girl group\, as well as another female collective\, The New Orleans Nightingales. \nShe released her New Orleans debut CD\, “Singing For My Supper” on Threadhead Records in 2010\, which WhereYat Magazine called “a pleasing mix of styles and tempos”. More recently with The Honeypots\, their 2013 Threadhead CD\, “Something Sweet” was nominated for Best Roots CD by “Offbeat” Magazine. She will soon be releasing her next record\, “Love Is All”\, with songs performed with her band plus many other New Orleans musicians she plays well with.\nShe has a long list of Festival appearances such as The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, The French Quarter Fest\, Congo Square Rhythms Festival\, The Freret street Festival\, The Voice of the Wetlands Festival\, Telluride Jazz Fest\, High Sierra Music Fest\, and The Radio Indigo Blues Festival in Bangalore India. \nAbout Something in the Way: A Brief History of Photography and Obstruction\nBased on NOMA’s permanent collection\, Something in the Way: A Brief History of Photography and Obstruction explores photography’s relationship to the world it records through a diverse selection of photographs that include obstructing elements or remind us that the photograph itself is often an obstruction to the real world. \nSince the earliest days of photography\, photographers have had a contentious relationship with the real world. Unlike other forms of picture making\, in which the author has total control over each element in the picture\, every photograph is a negotiation between what exists in front of the camera and what the photographer is willing to include. Some photographers have employed methods to eliminate distracting parts of the picture—masking out sections of the negative\, manipulating the print\, etc.—but others have chosen to accept everything within the frame\, even when certain elements in the picture obstruct others. Still others\, especially in the twentieth century\, intentionally sought out obstructions\, framing the world with bold occlusions that prevent us from seeing part of it. Sometimes playful\, sometimes staunchly conceptual\, these photographs draw attention to photography’s dual dependence on the real world and on the photographer\, who determines how much of that world we get to see. Even more recently\, photographers have begun exploring how the photograph\, or even the act of photographing\, is itself an obstruction to the real world. This exhibition brings together fine art and documentary photographs\, anonymous snapshots\, and conceptual works\, to explore these various relationships between photography and obstruction.

After earning his doctorate from the Slavic Department at the University of California\, Berkeley\, Brumfield taught at the University of Wisconsin and at Harvard University (Assistant Professor of Slavic Languages). He is currently Professor of Slavic Studies at Tulane University. \nAmong his books are: Gold in Azure: One Thousand Years of Russian Architecture (1983)\, The Origins of Modernism in Russian Architecture (1991)\, A History of Russian Architecture (1993; chosen a “Notable Book of the Year” by The New York Times Book Review)\, Lost Russia: Photographing the Ruins of Russian Architecture (1995; 2015) and Landmarks of Russian Architecture: A Photographic Survey (1997). All of these books are illustrated with his own photographs. Brumfield has also published 26 books in Russia\, most of which are dedicated to Russia’s architectural heritage. His most recent book is Architecture at the End of the Earth: Photographing the Russian North. \nBrumfield’s photographs\, part of the collection of the Photographic Archives of the National Gallery of Art\, have been exhibited in museums in this country and in Russia. His work has been supported by the Library of Congress and by numerous fellowships and awards\, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship and a NEH Fellowship at the National Humanities Center. In 2002 Brumfield was elected to the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences\, and in 2006 he was elected honorary member of the Russian Academy of the Fine Arts. \nAbout Architecture at the End of the Earth: Photographing the Russian North\nCarpeted in boreal forests\, dotted with lakes\, cut by rivers\, and straddling the Arctic Circle\, the region surrounding the White Sea\, which is known as the Russian North\, is sparsely populated and immensely isolated. It is also the home to architectural marvels\, as many of the original wooden and brick churches and homes in the region’s ancient villages and towns still stand. Featuring nearly two hundred full color photographs of these beautiful centuries-old structures\, Architecture at the End of the Earth is the most recent addition to William Craft Brumfield’s ongoing project to photographically document all aspects of Russian architecture. \nThe architectural masterpieces Brumfield photographed are diverse: they range from humble chapels to grand cathedrals\, buildings that are either dilapidated or well cared for\, and structures repurposed during the Soviet era. Included are onion-domed wooden churches such as the Church of the Dormition\, built in 1674 in Varzuga; the massive walled Transfiguration Monastery on Great Solovetsky Island\, which dates to the mid-1550s; the Ferapontov-Nativity Monastery’s frescoes\, painted in 1502 by Dionisy\, one of Russia’s greatest medieval painters; nineteenth-century log houses\, both rustic and ornate; and the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Vologda\, which was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 1560s. The text that introduces the photographs outlines the region’s significance to Russian history and culture.

Her father and five of his brothers were big band swing musicians\, and music was always a part of family gatherings. She has lived and performed in New York City\, Los Angeles and internationally. She has recorded and released three standard jazz cover albums and two original composition albums receiving critical praise for all. Carmela was nominated for a New Mexico Music Award for best jazz original composition\, has appeared in several feature films and been a part of the Musicians Assistance Program\, a division of Music Cares. Her new album release Myths and Legends is a collection of original songs written by Carmela about difficult women\, love gone wrong\, and the dreams and spirits within us all. The recording also includes two covers from Duke Ellington and Al Anderson. \nAbout Wassily Kandinsky\nRussian painter Wassily Kandinsky is generally regarded as an originator of abstract painting and one of the most important innovators in modern art\, both as an artist and as a theorist. He only started painting when he was thirty years old after training as a lawyer in Moscow\, suddenly abandoning his home and profession and traveling to Munich to study art. His talent quickly tested the constraints of art school and he began exploring his own ideas. \nBeginning in 1903\, his work was exhibited throughout Europe and often caused controversy among the public\, critics and his contemporaries. Kandinsky’s unrelenting quest for new forms produced works of a great many styles. His earlier works\, both abstract and figurative\, are characterized by a romantic superabundance of brilliant colors and complex patterns. \nIn the 1920’s\, his work took him to the extremes of geometric abstraction\, with sharply etched outlines and clear patterns. In very late works\, Kandinsky blended the free\, intuitive image of his earlier years with these geometric forms to create a more elegant\, beautifully balanced style. Accompanied by spectacular images of the artist’s greatest work. \n  \n \n  \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-music-carmela-rappazzo/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Friday_Nights_at_NOMA_logo-1375216699.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20160909T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20160909T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T084252 CREATED:20160821T163327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160907T212519Z UID:17965-1473440400-1473454800@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Movies in the Garden: WALL-E DESCRIPTION:Movies in the Garden is back!

This series is curated by Laszlo Fulop\, UNO Associate Professor (Documentary\, Video Writing). \nUrbanized is a feature-length documentary about the design of cities\, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects\, planners\, policymakers\, builders\, and thinkers. Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area\, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth\, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing\, mobility\, public space\, civic engagement\, economic development\, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain. Who is allowed to shape our cities\, and how do they do it? Unlike many other fields of design\, cities aren’t created by any one specialist or expert. There are many contributors to urban change\, including ordinary citizens who can have a great impact improving the cities in which they live. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world\, Urbanized frames a global discussion on the future of cities. \nAbout Laszlo Fulop\nLaszlo Fulop teaches Documentary Production\, Script Analysis\, Spring Film Production\, Video Writing\, and Screenwriting. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Orleans in 2000. \nIn the past few years\, Fulop has been credited as director\, producer\, videographer\, and editor in various film and television projects\, including documentaries\, feature films\, TV pilots\, and short films. His credentials include an Addy Award and several film festival appearances. His recent work includes Tim’s Island\, a documentary about Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans co-directed\, co-produced\, and edited by Fulop. The film is available from IndiePix. \nThe Sunken City: Rebuilding Post-Katrina New Orleans\, his documentary co-directed and co-produced with Marline Otte (Associate Professor\, History Department\, Tulane University)\, has been screened at film festivals and various college campuses nationwide and internationally. The documentary is available from Sky Merchants and from Amazon. \nAbout Café NOMA’s 2016 Artful Palate Summer Cooking Series\nChefs of the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group will soon demonstrate their own culinary masterpieces at Café NOMA’s Artful Palate\, the fifth annual summer cooking series featuring nine artfully inspired demonstrations at the historic New Orleans Museum of Art. Friday evenings are FREE for all café guests and patrons to partake in the presentation\, and savor samples as each artful dish is created. \nIn conjunction with the launch of NOMA’s exhibition The Essence of Things: Design and the Art of Reduction\, the talented executive chefs\, sous chefs and mixologists of Café NOMA\, Ralph’s on the Park\, Red Fish Grill\, Brennan’s\, and Napoleon House will share their culinary vision inspired by the exhibition’s focus on the art and practice of minimalism.
