Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. On April 5 the museum will host College Night\, allowing all students\, faculty\, and staff with ID from local colleges and universities free admission from 5 – 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Luna Loxx and DJ Legatron\n5:30 – 7:15 pm: Xavier University performance lab student presentations and dance performances throughout the museum\n6 – 8 pm: Under Three Things\, an interactive performance by artist Cristina Molina in Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art\n\nABOUT UNDER THREE THINGS BY CRISTINA MOLINA\nAt select intervals throughout the run of the exhibition Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art\, New Orleans-based artist Cristina Molina will host a series of intimate guided tours of the exhibition in which she will assume the perspective of the earth\, personified. [Read more about Cristina Molina in an interview published in NOMA Magazine.]\nDrawing upon cultural mythologies of the underworld\, Molina will guide museum visitors through a whispered exploration of the exhibition in which the different artworks in the exhibition constitute the topography of an imagined subterranean landscape. Inspired by the classical myth of Persephone\, who was doomed to spend a third of the year in the underworld\, Molina reimagines this mythological figure as an empowered goddess who harnesses the earth as a place of primordial cultural emergence. Spanning video installation\, performance\, photography\, sculpture and textile design\, Molina’s work privileges female protagonists to explore themes related to origins\, heritage\, and personal mythology\, and how they work in concert with natural and urban landscapes. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

Born in Grand Mamou\, Louisiana in 1941\, Sonnier was one of the first artists to incorporate light into sculpture: an innovation that forms the foundation of his subsequent work. Since the late 1960s\, Sonnier has continued to forge a sculptural language that defies easy categorization. From his earliest investigations of fleeting and unstable materials like lint\, latex and neon\, to his later expressions of the way architecture\, light and form come together to shape human experience\, communication and interconnection\, Sonnier’s art has radically reframed sculpture’s role and function. \nThe 15-minute documentary Keith Sonnier: Sketches to Neon by filmmaker Lana Jokel will be screened in Stern Auditorium. Filmed at two locations in the Hamptons\, the documentary follows Sonnier and Jokel to a local auto-body shop where the artist is transforming a 1950s Oldsmobile into a mobile neon sculpture. The second location is Sonnier’s Bridgehampton studio\, where he and Jokel discuss his process of transforming sketches and maquettes into neon works. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council. \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-at-noma-opening-of-keith-sonnier-until-today-music-by-bamboula-2000/ CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/UntilToday.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190308T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190308T210000 DTSTAMP:20251106T210657 CREATED:20190114T193416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190114T193416Z UID:42306-1552064400-1552078800@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:No Friday Nights at NOMA DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA will not be held on March 8.

SOBLOFF\nThe sixteenth annual Maya Symposium\, themed “The Center Could Not Hold: The Ancient Maya and Collapse\,” is a collaboration of Tulane University’s Stone Center for Latin American Studies\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, and Mexican Consulate in New Orleans. Scholars gather to share research and NOMA hosts the keynote address\, to be delivered by Jeremy A. Sobloff\, \nThe term “collapse” has\, in recent years\, become quite controversial in studies of Maya civilization\, and there is good reason to question the utility of this loaded word going forward. Jeremy Sobloff’s keynote talk will focus on understandings of cultural processes in the late 8th and 9th centuries and environmental events in the Maya Lowlands that culminated in what has often been seen as a political collapse. Moreover\, his talk will examine whether such understanding can help illuminate comparable trends at other times in Maya history and in other complex societies in general. \nSobloff is an External Professor of the Santa Fe Institute and past President of the Institute (2009-2015). He also is Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Anthropology\, Emeritus of the University of Pennsylvania. Before coming to the Santa Fe Institute\, he taught at Harvard University\, the University of Utah\, the University of New Mexico (where he was Chair of the Department)\, the University of Pittsburgh (where he also was Chair)\, and the University of Pennsylvania (where he was the Williams Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum from 1994-2004). He also was an Overseas Visiting Fellow at St. John’s College\, Cambridge\, England. His principal scholarly interests include: ancient Maya civilization\, pre-industrial urbanism\, settlement pattern studies\, archaeological theory and method\, the history of archaeology\, and the relevance of archaeology in the modern world. Over the past forty years\, he has undertaken archaeological field research in both Mexico and Guatemala. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

Eventually\, his stellar intelligence in mathematics and his boundless confidence in both attract the attention of the noted British mathematics professor\, G.H. Hardy\, who invites him to further develop his computations at Trinity College at Cambridge. Forced to leave his young wife\, Janaki\, behind\, Ramanujan finds himself in a land where both his largely intuitive mathematical theories and his cultural values run headlong into both the stringent academic requirements of his school and mentor and the prejudiced realities of a Britain heading into World War One. Facing this with a family back home determined to keep him from his wife and his own declining health\, Ramanujan joins with Hardy in a mutual struggle that would define Ramanujan as one of India’s greatest modern scholars who broke more than one barrier in his worlds.

Idiosyncratic\, catchy\, and rich with local talent\, the tracks showcase Williams’ impressive musicianship and unique capabilities as a songwriter. OffBeat Magazine says\, “it’s an impressively mature debut album.” \nABOUT EDMUND WHITE AND THOMAS BELLER\nNOMA’s Arts & Letters series welcomes authors\, poets\, journalists\, playwrights\, and literary scholars to the museum for public conversations that reflect on literature at the intersection of arts and culture. Edmund White\, a pioneering figure in gay literature and memoir\, will be interviewed by Thomas Beller\, an acclaimed nonfiction writer and professor at Tulane University.

Inspired by the classical myth of Persephone\, who was doomed to spend a third of the year in the underworld\, Molina reimagines this mythological figure as an empowered goddess who harnesses the earth as a place of primordial cultural emergence. Spanning video installation\, performance\, photography\, sculpture and textile design\, Molina’s work privileges female protagonists to explore themes related to origins\, heritage\, and personal mythology\, and how they work in concert with natural and urban landscapes. \nABOUT ANDREW MCCLELLAN\nTrained in European art of the early modern period (primarily 17th-early 19th centuries)\, Andrew McClellan has lectured and published widely on painting\, sculpture\, and architecture\, as well as the historiography and institutions of art. An overriding interest in contexts\, institutional frameworks\, and the reception of art led him to study the collecting and display of art and forms the basis of four of his books\, Inventing the Louvre: Art\, Politics\, and the Origins of the Modern Museum in Eighteenth-Century Paris (1999)\, Art and Its Publics: Museum Studies at the Millennium (2003)\,  The Art Museum from Boullée to Bilbao (2008)\, and The Art of Curating: Paul J.

In their art\, nature is not just as a resource to be protected or exploited\, but rather a generative force with its own sentient power. Mining earth both as a material and a metaphor\, the artists in this exhibition treat nature as a teacher: a model for negotiating the complexities of contemporary cultural life. Informed by a kind of elemental logic\, their art envisions new ways we might relate to the natural world\, as well as to one another. \nThe following ten-to-fifteen-minute Small Talks by artists represented in the exhibition will take place throughout the evening: \n\n6 – 6:30 pm: Cristina Molina is a visual artist who creates video installations that include still imagery and sculptural forms. Molina’s non linear\, hypnotic works centralize female protagonists within historical\, mythical\, and autobiographical narratives. Her artwork has been exhibited at various national and international venues.\n6:30 – 6:45 pm: Diedrick Brackens thoughtfully employs the language of weaving and textile making to explore the intersections of identity and sociopolitical issues in the United States. Brackens uses calculated woven algorithms that stem from the cultural histories of African\, American\, and European textiles to generate his intricate tapestries\, seeking to highlight the complexities of African-American identity while also focusing on the loom and its significance to cultural production.\n7 – 7:30 pm: Sara Madandar is a US-based artist from Iran. She currently works in painting\, sculpture\,video and performance. Her work is mostly about the relationship of the human to their bodies and covers. She materializes the issues of existing in an in-between space through construction and deconstruction of the canvas. Her work evokes a sensation out of destruction and touches on the cultural displacements of corporeality. Her video\, video installations\, and performances are influenced by her emigration and comparison between cultures.\n8 pm: Dan Alley grew up in Alaska and did his undergraduate work at Washington State University\, where he received a BFA in ceramics. In 2014 he earned an MFA in glass art and currently serves there as an adjunct professor.\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu led the ceremony\, attended by living legends of jazz\, music aficionados\, politicians\, and everyday people. The scene captured the history and culture of the city in microcosm—a city legendary for its noisy\, complicated\, tradition-rich splendor. In his new book City of a Million Dreams: A History of New Orleans at Year 300\, Jason Berry delivers a character-driven history of New Orleans at its tricentennial. Chronicling cycles of invention\, struggle\, death\, and rebirth\, Berry reveals the city’s survival as a triumph of diversity\, its map-of-the-world neighborhoods marked by resilience despite hurricanes\, epidemics\, fires\, and floods. \nBerry orchestrates a parade of vibrant personalities\, from the founder Bienville\, a warrior emblazoned with snake tattoos; to Governor William C. C. Claiborne\, General Andrew Jackson\, and Pere Antoine Sedella\, an influential priest and secret agent of the Inquisition; Sister Gertrude Morgan\, a street evangelist and visionary artist of the 1960s; and Michael White\, the famous clarinetist who remade his life after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina.

A Dream Deferred with Curatorial Fellow Allison Young\n\nABOUT BLATO ZLATO\nBlato Zlato (“Swamp Gold” in Bulgarian) is a New Orleans-based Balkan band featuring dreamy three-part vocal harmonies and hard-hitting instrumentals. Formed in 2015\, the band performs folk and composed music from the Balkans and Eastern Europe\, with a particular focus on Bulgarian songs and dark\, improvisational arrangements. Their debut album\, Swamp Gold\, was released in January 2017 and features traditional Bulgarian and Eastern European melodies interpreted through languid\, dark arrangements and improvisational continuous transitions. \nABOUT NOLA 4 WOMEN PRESENT EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN AND THE FOUNDING OF A MODERN MUSEUM\nThis panel discussion brings together Susan Taylor\, the Montine McDaniel Freeman Director of the New Orleans Museum of Art\, with modern day philanthropists and representatives from philanthropic organizations for a discussion of how extraordinary women have helped shape NOMA’s collection and mission from its inception to the present day. Panelists include Bethany Bultman (speaking about her late aunt\, Muriel Bultman Francis); Walda Besthoff\, major donor and joint namesake for the Besthoff Sculpture Garden; and Phyllis Taylor\, philanthropist and chair and president of the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. \nSponsored by \n \nABOUT EAR TO THE GROUND\nWorking with natural elements like earth\, wind\, water and fire\, the artists in Ear to the Ground show how nature can spur artistic innovation and spark new thinking about human culture and community. In their art\, nature is not just as a resource to be protected or exploited\, but rather a generative force with its own sentient power. Mining earth both as a material and a metaphor\, the artists in this exhibition treat nature as a teacher: a model for negotiating the complexities of contemporary cultural life. Informed by a kind of elemental logic\, their art envisions new ways we might relate to the natural world\, as well as to one another. \nABOUT MILDRED THOMPSON: AGAINST THE GRAIN\nAgainst the Grain marks the first solo museum presentation of the experimental wood works of the American artist Mildred Thompson (1936-2003) in more than thirty years. Made during the artist’s self-imposed exile in Europe\, Thompson’s wood pictures are only recently being rediscovered and presented in the United States. \nABOUT LINA IRIS VIKTOR: A HAVEN. A HELL.

A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation.

As every samurai needs a leader to whom he swears loyalty\, Ghost Dog has devoted himself the service of Louie (John Tormey)\, a low-level crime boss who once saved his life. When Louie’s superiors decide he must be executed\, Ghost Dog leaps into action\, methodically wiping out his many enemies. Along with a dizzying series of stylized shoot-outs\, Ghost Dog also features carrier pigeons\, characters who read Rashomon\, a French-speaking ice cream man\, and a score by RZA from the top-selling hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan\, who have their own well-documented obsession with Asian culture. Ghost Dog was screened in competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

She will be interviewed on stage by Susan Larson\, host of The Reading Life on WWNO\, New Orleans’s NPR affiliate\, and the author of The Booklover’s Guide to New Orleans. \nThe Arts & Letters Series is made possible through funding from the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival. \nABOUT SKYLAR FEIN\nSkylar Fein’s immersive installation Remember the Upstairs Lounge commemorates the 1973 arson at the Upstairs Lounge\, a popular gay bar in the French Quarter. The work is on view in the exhibition Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories. Fein\, whose work has long explored New Orleans’ many diverse subcultures and informal communities\, recreates this space to offer a haunting memorial to the event and those impacted by the tragedy. Comprising both real and fictional memorabilia of the era as well as crime scene photos and charred objects\, Fein’s installation examines notions of history\, memory\, truth and the slippages between them. Though a disgruntled customer was suspected\, no one was ever convicted for the crime\, which resulted in 32 casualties and countless injuries. Restaging this project almost exactly ten years after its original presentation in Prospect.1\, NOMA’s installation considers the continued reverberation of this unsolved crime for LGBT communities across New Orleans. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The Everyday Projects is a social media and educational outreach program aimed at challenging stereotypes\, bridging communities and building visual literacy through photography. It began in 2012 as Everyday Africa\, an Instagram account that uses photographs of everyday life to transcend media- driven stereotypes of Africa as a place overrun by disease\, poverty\, and war. It has since expanded into cities across the country\, including Atlanta\, Washington D.C.\, and the Bronx\, N.Y. At NOMA\, this project culminated in a display of selected photographs and texts that are displayed in dialogue with the artistic projects on view in Changing Course. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Working in a variety of mediums\, from paper mache to acrylic and charcoal on paper\, he renders second lines\, street musicians and the architecture of New Orleans with a nuanced eye towards intimate details—power lines and chain linked fences\, discarded sneakers and wood-paneled shot-gun houses that bear traces of their histories. Birch’s recent work questions the role that history plays in determining our present and future. His installation for Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories presents new works that focus on roots and bones\, the largely invisible structures that both sustain and support what we see above and around them. At the same time\, his work will refer museum visitors to associated artwork and performances staged offsite at a community-driven arts space that Birch is creating in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward. \nABOUT TEACHING BEYOND DOCTRINE: PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY BY ZEN MASTERS\nPainting and calligraphy by Zen monks has a long history in Japan. Introduced from China in the twefth century\, Zen (meaning “meditation”) has its origins in the teachings of the Buddha\, the sixth-century BCE Indian prince who taught that it was possible to be freed from suffering and the cycles of rebirth. \nThe paintings and works of calligraphy on view in NOMA’s Art of Japan Gallery were created by Zen masters during the Edo period (1615–1868). The most influential of these\, Hakuin Ekaku (168–1769)\, is credited with creating a new visual language for Zen\, by dramatically expanding its subjects and themes to include Shinto gods\, Confucian maxims\, Japanese legend\, folklore\, and scenes from everyday life. Hakuin’s immediate followers\, along with later generations of Zen masters\, have drawn on this rich visual vocabulary to the present day. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.
