DESCRIPTION:Throughout the exhibition Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society\, artists influenced by Asian aesthetics will offer their perspective on the objects on view. \nRose Bratcher is an ensō painter and a monk at the New Orleans Zen Temple. In Zen\, ensō is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment\, strength\, elegance\, the universe\, and mu (the void). It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics.

SUMMARY:The Helis Foundation Artist Talk: Teresita Fernández
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Teresita Fernández for a discussion about her work as part of The Helis Foundation Artist Talk series. Fernández’s 60-foot mosaic mural Viñales (Mayombe Mississippi) is among the works on view in the expansion of the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. \nFernández’s work is characterized by an interest in perception and the psychology of looking. Her experiential\, monumental works are often inspired by a rethinking of landscape and place\, as well as by diverse historical and cultural references. Often referencing the natural world\, Fernández’s practice emphasizes the connection between place and material by using gold\, graphite\, iron-ore\, and other minerals that have loaded historical ties to colonization and the violence embedded in the landscape. She is a 2005 MacArthur Foundation Fellow and the recipient of numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship\, an NEA Artist’s Grant\, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Award. Fernández’s works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally at The Museum of Modern Art\, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; The Smithsonian Museum of American Art\, Washington\, D.C.; and MASS MoCA\, North Adams\, Massachusetts; among others. Fernández’s mid-career museum retrospective\, Teresita Fernández: Elemental\, is currently on view at Pérez Art Museum Miami and will tour throughout the United States. She lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. \nAdmission to NOMA is free for all Louisiana residents on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \n

SUMMARY:Artist's Perspective: Dawn DeDeaux discusses Tina Freeman: Lamentations
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the exhibition of photographs in Tina Freeman: Lamentations\, a seven-year photo-documentation of Louisiana’s wetlands and the glacial landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctic by Tina Freeman\, fellow artists\, including Dawn DeDeaux\, will offer their perspective on the subject matter. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nABOUT DAWN DEDEAUX\nNew Orleans-based artist Dawn DeDeaux has merged art with new technologies for decades to broaden art and audience engagement.

Mid-career works were large-scale installations and pioneering immersive\, synchronized media environments including Soul Shadows\, Women Eating\, and The Face of God that premiered at the 1996 Olympics. Latter works\, including Project Mutants\, The Goddess Fortuna and The MotherShip Series\, are inspired by environmental challenges.

SUMMARY:Activation of Brève braises with artist Manon Bellet and Justin Peake
DESCRIPTION:In the installation Brève braises\, artist Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper on the walls of the gallery in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and instruments as the move through and activate the installation. \nMusician Justin Peake will participate in this activation. \nJustin Peake is an New Orleans-based drummer\, composer\, technologist\, visual artist and researcher. His music features acoustic and electronic elements including his own interactive software instruments. He produces music for dance as well as audio-visual installations. He is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program\, where he focused on building new software for variably structured improvisation in performance. He has released music on the Moodgadget\, Ghostly International\, Ears & Eyes\, and Articulated Works labels.

DESCRIPTION:In the installation Brève braises\, on view in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, artist Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper upon the wall of a gallery. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers to gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and musical performances. \nMusicians from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) will perform for this activation.

SUMMARY:Gallery Activation for 168:01 with artist Wafaa Bilal
DESCRIPTION:Artist Wafaa Bilal will visit NOMA to interpret his interactive installation 168:01 in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. The work comprises a large bookshelf filled with blank\, white books which symbolizes the burning and looting of libraries in Baghdad during the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. Museum visitors are invited to transform the shelves from austere white to color by donating a book that will be shipped to the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad at the closing of the exhibition. In exchange for a new book (for sale in the Museum Shop) visitors may take home one of the white volumes\, which are meant to serve as a reminder that across the globe many people are denied equal access to knowledge. \nWednesday admission is free to all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nABOUT WAFAA BILAL\nIraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal\, an Associate Arts Professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts\, is known internationally for his on-line performative and interactive works provoking dialogue about international politics and internal dynamics. For his 2007 installation\, Domestic Tension\, Bilal spent a month in a Chicago gallery with a paintball gun that people could shoot at him over the Internet. The Chicago Tribune called it “one of the sharpest works of political art to be seen in a long time” and named him 2008 Artist of the Year. Bilal’s work is constantly informed by the experience of fleeing his homeland and existing simultaneously in two worlds—his home in the “comfort zone” of the U.S. and his consciousness of the ‘conflict zone’ in Iraq. Using his own body as a medium\, Bilal continued to challenge our comfort zone with projects like 3rdi and …and Counting. Bilal’s most recent body of work\, Canto III\, premiered in a solo booth at the New York Armory Show in 2015 and went on to be shown in the 2015 Venice Biennale. \nIn 2008 City Lights published Shoot an Iraqi: Art\, Life and Resistance Under the Gun\, about Bilal’s life and the Domestic Tension project. He holds a BFA from the University of New Mexico and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago; and the MATHAF: Arab Museum of Modern Art\, Doha\, Qatar.

SUMMARY:Under Three Things\, a performance by artist Cristina Molina in Ear to the Ground exhibition
DESCRIPTION:At 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. \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. \nAdmission to NOMA is free on Wednesdays for all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lina Iris Viktor in Conversation with Renée Mussai
DESCRIPTION:Join Renée Mussai\, Senior Curator and Head of Curatorial\, Archive & Research at Autograph in London\, as she speaks with artist Lina Iris Viktor\, whose work is currently on view in the Great Hall in Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred. The lecture is free with museum admission. \nABOUT RENÉE MUSSAI\nRenée Mussai is Senior Curator and Head of Curatorial\, Archive and Research at Autograph\, a London-based international\, nonprofit photographic arts charity\, with a remit in photography and film addressing cultural identity\, race\, representation and human rights. A scholar-curator with a special interest in African\, Black European and diasporic lens-based practices\, Mussai publishes and lectures internationally on photography\, curatorial activism and cultural politics. \nSince 2009\, she has been a regular guest curator and former non-resident fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. She is presently a Research Associate in the Visual Identities in Art and Design Research Centre\, University of Johannesburg\, and PhD candidate in Art History at University College London. She has curated numerous exhibitions in Europe\, Africa and the US \, including the critically acclaimed and internationally touring programmes and gallery installations\, Black Chronicles (2014 – 2018) and Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama\, Hail the Dark Lioness (2017 – 2020)\, currently touring the US. Her writing has appeared in artist monographs\, anthologies and journals such as Aperture\, and Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art. Her publications include James Barnor: Ever Young (2015)\, Glyphs: Acts of Inscription (2014; with Ruti Talmor) and the forthcoming Black Chronicles (2018/19). \nABOUT LINA IRIS VIKTOR\nLina Iris Viktor is a conceptual artist\, performance artist\, and painter. She lives and works itinerantly between New York and London. \nThe multidisciplinary approach to her work\, which weaves disparate materials and methods belonging both to contemporary and ancient art forms calls into question the nature of time and being. Her works are a merging of photography\, performance\, abstract painting\, along with the ancient practice of gilding with 24-karat gold to create increasingly dark canvases embedded with “layers of light” in the form of symbols and intricate patterns. Viktor regards these dark canvases to be “light-works”. Each provoke a philosophical commentary through material that at once addresses the infinite and the finite\, immortality and mortality\, the microcosm and macrocosm\, in addition to the socio-political and historical preconceptions surrounding ‘blackness’ and its universal implications. \nViktor’s multi-disciplinary practice is informed by a background in film which she studied at Sarah Lawrence College\, and her continued studies within photography and design at The School of Visual Arts\, along with an education in performance arts during high school. Viktor creates her own mythology as a painter\, sculptor\, photographer\, and performance artist. \nViktor has exhibited at Harvard Art Museums and The Cooper Gallery\, Harvard University\, Boston; The Kentucky Museum of Arts & Craft\, Louisville; and Spelman Museum of Fine Art\, Spelman College\, Georgia. Viktor has engaged in critical talks\, panels & lectures at Smithsonian National Museum of African Art\, Harvard University\, New York University\, The Institute of Contemporary Arts (London)\, King’s College London\, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, Saint Louis Art Museum\, and Autograph ABP.

SUMMARY:Inside the Studio with Leonardo Drew
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Brooklyn-based contemporary artist Leonardo Drew\, whose work\, Number 59S\, is currently on view in NEW at NOMA: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans through October 8th. Drew will be joined by New Orleans artist Dawn DeDeaux for a moderated discussion followed by questions from the audience. \nABOUT LEONARDO DREW\nLeonardo Drew was born in Tallahassee\, Florida\, in 1961\, and grew up in a public housing project in Bridgeport\, Connecticut. Although often mistaken for accumulations of found objects\, his sculptures are instead made of “brand new stuff”—materials such as wood\, rusted iron\, cotton\, paper\, mud—that he intentionally subjects to processes of weathering\, burning\, oxidization\, and decay. Whether jutting from a wall or traversing rooms as freestanding installations\, his pieces challenge the architecture of the space in which they’re shown.

Her universally compelling works are simultaneously personal and collective\, public and private\, local and global. Based in and deeply influenced by her native New Orleans\, Gilbert employs tools and processes of collaboration to create this host of widely varied projects with wildly diverse partnerings: her documentary filmmaker husband\, Kevin McCaffrey; poet/writers Andrei Codrescu and Yusef Komunyakaa; experimental theater directors Richard Schechner\, Julie Hebert\, and Kathy Randels; and Swiss cultural psychiatrist/anthropologist Jacques Arpin. \nGilbert’s public art has tackled tough issues of AIDS\, breast cancer\, war and death\, as it regularly finds its way to city streets across the globe. A few such projects\, often collaborative\, include: The Subject is War (1991)\, using bus shelters; Borders\, Boundaries & Bindings\, commissioned to appear as one of the first Central Artery Projects of Boston’s Big Dig in the streets of the South End (1993); Lunch EnCounter (2004)\, an installation and performance on desegregation; On the Line/Sur la ligne (2010)\, installed at 571 Projects Gallery and on the High Line in the Chelsea Arts District of Manhattan; and 30 Years/30 Blocks: a retrospective installation of place and public art work (2012)\, which appeared both inside and out at The Front in New Orleans’ St. Claude Arts District. \nABOUT CHEF CHRIS FITE AND THE ARTFUL PALATE\nFor eight Friday nights throughout the summer\, chefs from the Ralph Brennan restaurant group will offer Artful Palate cooking demonstrations in Café NOMA. Meet Chris Fite\, chef from Café NOMA\, as he prepares a dish and discusses “Eating Clean: How to Make Healthy Choices.” \nABOUT CRY-BABY\nFilmmaker John Waters is among the artists represented in Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans. In a tribute film festival\, NOMA will screen five of Waters’ outrageously obnoxious and funny movies. \nCry-Baby is a teen musical romantic comedy starring Johnny Depp as 1950s teen rebel “Cry-Baby” Wade Walker. The story centers on a group of juvenile delinquents who refer to themselves as “drapes” and their interaction with the “squares” of Baltimore. “Cry-Baby” falls in love with Allison (Amy Locane)\, a “square\,” and creates upheaval as their romance breaks social taboos. The film features cameo appearances by Troy Donahue\, Joe Dallesandro\, Joey Heatherton\, David Nelson\, Willem Dafoe\, and Patricia Hearst. (1990 | Rated PG-13 | 92 minutes) \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 as administered by the Arts Council of New Orleans.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA | '60s Dance Party for Hairspray screening | Artist Perspective with Nicole Charbonnet | Artful Palate: Latin Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. \n\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: ’60s Dance Party with Music by WWOZ deejay Neil Pellegrin\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table \n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Nicole Charbonnet\n7 pm: John Waters Film Festival: Hairspray (1988)\nMusical numbers from Tulane Summer Lyric Theatre’s cast of Hairspray\, along with special appearances by the Abita Queen Bees and the Priscillas from the Krewe of Rolling Elvi\n6:30 pm: Cafe NOMA by Ralph Brennan presents Artful Palate\, “Latin American Influences and Their Role in the Rebuilding of New Orleans” with Sous Chef Ryan Hacker from Brennan’s\n\nABOUT NEIL PELLEGRIN\, TULANE SUMMER LYRIC THEATRE\, THE ABITA QUEEN BEES\, AND THE PRISCILLAS\nNeil Pellegrin regularly hosts the Tuesday night 1950s’ Rhythm and Blues Show on WWOZ 90.7 FM. He developed an affinity for vintage R&B and rock ‘n’ roll as a teen (roughly 20 years ago). From there\, he began digging deep for obscure artists and tracks from the mid-20th century. He will spin tunes from the ’50s and ’60s in tribute to tonight’s screening of John Waters’ 1988 movie Hairspray. Come dance the Watusi\, the Twist\, the Frug\, and the Mashed Potato as NOMA’s Great Hall is transformed into a veritable Corny Collins Dance Show. The Abita Queen Bees\, a women’s marching club from Abita Springs\, will make special appearances throughout the night in their trademark beehive hairdos\, along with the Priscillas\, an all-women’s auxiliary club of the Krewe of Rolling Elvi who costume in tribute to Priscilla Presley’s late 1960s’ hair and fashion. Cast members from Tulane Summer Lyric Theater’s cast of Hairspray: The Musical will also perform two song and dance numbers from the show. \nABOUT NICOLE CHARBONNET\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans\, artists represented in the collection of Arthur Roger will present Artist Perspective lectures. \nNicole Charbonnet appropriates Americana imagery\, as well as compositions from noteworthy international artists\, as a way of stimulating a sense of nostalgia\, while also informing current social and political situations. For Charbonnet\, painting serves as a metaphor for the phenomenon of recollection. Her process of painting mimics or simulates the process of memory with its numerous layers and textures\, resulting in paintings that both illuminate the past and encourage interpretations that function as starting points in and of themselves. Charbonnet says of her process\, “Whether painting images or abstract gestures\, my paintings are textural and built up with layers over time. The superimposition of textures\, images\, collage\, words and paint create surfaces that retain or reveal a memory of preexisting stages\, resulting in a palimpsest in which some images\, shapes or words are obfuscated\, while others remain visible however shaped by previous or subsequent gestures and events.” \nABOUT CHEF RYAN HACKER AND THE “ARTFUL PALATE”\nFor eight Friday nights throughout the summer\, chefs from the Ralph Brennan restaurant group will offer Artful Palate cooking demonstrations in Café NOMA. Meet Ryan Hacker\, sous chef from Brennan’s\, as he prepares a Latin-inspired dish and discusses “Latin American Influences and Their Role in the Rebuilding of New Orleans.” \nABOUT HAIRSPRAY\nFilmmaker John Waters is among the artists represented in Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans. In a tribute film festival\, NOMA will screen five of Waters’ outrageously obnoxious and funny movies. \n Hairspray stars Ricki Lake as Tracy Turnblad\, an overweight teen who auditions for a spot on a popular teen dance program\, The Corny Collins Show. She beats out the spiteful Amber von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick)\, winning over Amber’s boyfriend (Michael St. Gerard) in the process. After meeting some black students at her school\, Tracy begins to push for more racial integration on the dance show. This gets her into trouble on many sides\, especially with Amber’s pushy parents (Sonny Bono\, Deborah Harry). The movie is a celebration of 1960s-era kitsch\, especially bouffant and beehive hairdos. (1988 | Rated PG | 96 minutes)

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA | Opening of Pride of Place | Artist Perspective with Simon Gunning | Music by Sabine McCalla
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. \nThe exhibition Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans opens to the public featuring more than eighty works donated to NOMA by renowned gallerist Arthur Roger. \n\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Sabine McCalla\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Simon Gunning\n\nABOUT SABINE MCCALLA\nSabine McCalla is an American folk singer. Born in New York City to Haitian immigrant parents\, she was strongly encouraged to learn how to play music from an early age by her mother. She grew up playing classical violin in orchestras. But as she grew older she found her true talent lay in her voice. McCalla began to sing ballads\, listening to old-time and country music. In 2014 she joined her sister in New Orleans and began writing and singing her own songs. Her music is based off of her own experiences\, poetry\, and the people who have effected her life. Her music raises a series of issues about womanhood\, perseverance\, poverty\, fear\, and love. McCalla is currently working on a self-produced E.P. recorded by Mash Potato Studios in the Holy Cross. \nABOUT SIMON GUNNING\nIn conjunction with Pride of Place\, on select Fridays throughout the run of the exhibition artists represented in Roger’s collection will discuss their careers and influences. \nAustralian-born Simon Gunning has lived in New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood for more than 30 years. His appreciation for the local scenery has never waned\, as is evident in his renowned\, intricately-composed oil paintings of the Southern Louisiana landscape. His compositions reflect familiar scenes — lush swamps interrupted only by egrets\, ibises and anhingas; ships lined up in the winding Mississippi river; industrial cargo lifts and cranes dotted with spotlights reflecting in the placid water; dogs and cats frolicking in streets lined with shotgun homes and jutting stoops. Despite his veneration\, his compositions are never sentimentalized. His edgy style of painting has been described as “an iconic personal statement about life\, death\, sorrow\, and a love affair with an exotic land.” He has a startling ability to capture scenes at the most felicitous time of day\, rendering the light and color that is so unique to the landscape. \nSimon Gunning was born in Sydney\, Australia in 1956. He studied painting and drawing from 1976-1978 at the National Gallery School of Art and the Victorian College of Art in Melbourne\, Australia. In 1999\, he was awarded a Visual Artist Fellowship by the Louisiana Division of the Arts. His work is included in many public and private collections including the New Orleans Museum of Art\, Percent for Art Collection at Louis Armstrong International Airport\, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, all in New Orleans; as well as in private and corporate collections in Paris\, London\, Los Angeles\, and Australia.

SUMMARY:'Kenneth Josephson: Photography Is': Noontime Talk between artist and curator
DESCRIPTION:Join curator Russell Lord and artist Kenneth Josephson as they give a Noontime Talk on the exhibition Kenneth Josephson: Photography Is. Noontime Talks are brief\, casual discussions on exhibitions or works of art in the galleries\, given by NOMA curators and special guests. \n\nAbout Kenneth Josephson: Photography Is\n\nThis exhibition presents a brief survey of the work of Kenneth Josephson (American\, born 1932)\, one of the most inventive photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. \nThroughout his career\, Josephson has explored photography’s central relationships: between light and shadow\, flatness and depth\, the real world and its representation\, and the image and the object. In his work\, these explorations take many different forms—multiple exposures\, richly printed street photographs\, landscapes\, and pictures of pictures—but these disparate works all share one thing in common: every Josephson photograph refers back to itself or to the processes that created it. While these ideas might lead to dry\, analytical images\, in Josephson’s hands they result in playful\, beautifully composed photographs that surprise\, challenge and delight. In one\, for example\, he photographs his own shadow looking down into a ravine. As a result\, his shadow is split by the depth of the ravine. In another\, the strange silhouette of a car\, which appears to be the result of darkroom manipulation\, is in fact un-melted snow\, preserved by the car’s shadow blocking the sun. \nThe world\, as it exists in his photographs\, seems to be made for photography\, but sometimes Josephson is the one who made it. His early images of bright white ferns in the forest record the dappled light filtering through the trees. Later\, however\, he painted the leaves white himself and then recorded the results of his actions. Collectively\, his work suggests a host of definitions for photography—photography is about lightness and darkness\, about immediacy\, about representation—but individually\, each photograph seems to celebrate the existence of photography\, to revel in the process that brought it into being\, and to delight in the simple fact that photography is. \n\nSPONSORS: Education and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Patrick F.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Artist Perspective with Skylar Fein
DESCRIPTION:Tonight at NOMA\, Skylar Fein will give an Artist Perspective in conjunction with the exhibition Visions of US: American Art at NOMA. Join us for great art\, live music\, free art activities\, a cash bar\, and more! \n\n5-8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30-8:30 pm: Music by Phil the Tremolo King\n6:30 pm: Artist Perspective with Skylar Fein: “Larry Rivers’ Eulogy for Frank O’Hara”\n\nAbout “Larry Rivers’ Eulogy for Frank O’Hara”\nSkylar Fein on Visions of US: American Art at NOMA \nForget that he once won a lot of money on The $64\,000 Question. Forget that he painted Napoleon as “The Greatest Homosexual\,” forget the scandalous “Frank O’Hara Nude With Boots” — even forget (if you can) that the model (O’Hara) was his lover and a world-renowned poet and a curator at MoMA at the time. Forget all of that. The topic on January 22 is the eulogy. Rivers’ eulogy for Frank O’Hara was one of the most infamous and explosive art world events of late-Sixties New York\, but you’ve never heard it. During this lecture\, Skylar Fein will read the eulogy\, courtesy of NYU Library special collections\, and relate it to the Rivers painting on view in Visions of US: American Art at NOMA\, situating this history within his own work\, and the larger history of Pop Art in the United States. \nAbout Skylar Fein\nSkylar Fein was born in Greenwich Village and raised in the Bronx. He has had many careers including teaching nonviolent resistance under the umbrella of the Quakers\, working for a gay film festival in Seattle\, stringing for The New York Times and as pre-med student at University of New Orleans where he moved one week before Hurricane Katrina hit. \nIn the fall of 2008\, his Prospect.1: Biennial installation\, Remember the Upstairs Lounge\, shined a spotlight on an overlooked piece of New Orleans history: a fire that swept through a French Quarter bar in 1973\, killing everyone inside. The worst fire in New Orleans history has never been solved. His installation walked visitors right through the swinging bar doors\, and offered visual riffs on politics and sexuality circa 1973. The piece was praised in Artforum\, Art In America\, The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker\, among others. In late 2009\, Fein had his first solo museum show\, “Youth Manifesto\,” at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The exhibition was an ode to punk rock as a force for social and cultural upheaval. True to form\, the opening reception was shut down by police responding to the look of the unlikely art-going crowd. \nSkylar Fein was the recipient of a 2009 Joan Mitchell Foundation Award and his work is in several prominent collections including The Whitney Museum of American Art\, The Brooklyn Museum\, The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation\, The Louisiana State Museum\, The Birmingham Museum of Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art. \nAbout Phil the Tremolo King\nPhil ‘the Tremolo King’ Vanderyken is one of those characters you will only find in the Big Easy. Born and raised in Belgium\, Phil immigrated to the US as a young hobo\, with a guitar and a few bucks in his pocket\, determined to follow his muse. Phil and his backup band ‘The Uptown Downtown Orchestra” currently have a residency at the Apple Barrel on Frenchmen Street and have played local venues like AllWays Lounge\, Tipitina’s\, Dragon’s Den\, Banks Street Bar\, the Palmer Park Arts Market\, Tip’s on the Tarmac ( Louis Armstrong Airport) and more. \nPhil’s music is a gumbo of trad jazz\, gypsy swing\, country\, blues and whatever else strikes his fancy. His original songs combine New Orleans roots music with a gypsy sense of melody. Living in the Big Easy with its many colorful characters provides a never ending source of inspiration. The “Uptown Downtown Orchestra” is Josh Wexler on piano and accordion\, and Peter Orr on mandolin. Josh has studied jazz at NYU and performed and recorded with many local artists like the Dapper Dandies\, Sarah Quintana and the Essentials. Peter Orr was an original member of legendary street jazz band the Loose Marbles which included Aurora Nealand and Meshiya Lake. He has released four CD’s as ‘Sneaky Pete” and is an accomplished writer and painter.Alex Levy\, on sousaphone\, has deep roots in New Orleans’ brass band community. He is currently playing with\, among others\, the Secondhand Street Brass Band\, the Brownsville Brass Band\, and Katrina Boudreaux. \n

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Artist Perspective with Regina Scully
DESCRIPTION: \nTonight\, Regina Scully will give an Artist Perspective talk on the exhibition Visions of US: American Art at NOMA. Plus\, enjoy live music by The Ramblin’ Letters\, free art activities\, and much more. Join us! \n\n5-8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30-8:30 pm: Music by The Ramblin’ Letters\n6:30 pm: Artist Perspective with Regina Scully on Visions of US: American Art at NOMA\n\nAbout Regina Scully\nRegina Scully will discuss concepts of landscape and abstraction in her own work and in relation to paintings in the NOMA exhibition\, Visions of US: American Art at NOMA. Landscape historically refers to a way of seeing the external world through the delineation of space\, while Scully’s abstract landscape paintings also consider space from the artist’s inner emotional viewpoint. Scully will look at both of these ways of mapping\, and consider the relationship between the external and internal world in painting though historical examples drawn from NOMA’s collection and her own recent work. \nScully lives in New Orleans\, Louisiana and maintains a daily practice in her studio in the Bywater. Born in Norfolk\, Virginia\, Scully received her B.F.A. in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design and her M.F.A. in Painting from University of New Orleans. A catalog of recent paintings and works on paper with an accompanying essay by Dan Cameron was published in late summer\, 2015. Scully recently returned from Englewood\, Florida\, where she attended an awarded artist residency at the Hermitage Artist Retreat. \nIn 2014\, Scully showed in solo exhibitions\, Terra Incognita in New Orleans and Translations in Houston\, following her solo exhibition\, Entrance in Chelsea\, NY at C24 Gallery at the end of 2013. Art Fairs in 2014 included Pulse New York\, the San Francisco Art Market\, Texas Contemporary and Project Miami. Scully’s paintings are in private and public collections including the Microsoft Art Collection\, (2010\, 2013)\, The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation Collection\, the Capital One Art Collection\, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. \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. The Ramblin’ Letters take their name from the song\, “I Don’t Want Your Ramblin’ Letters\,” by one of their greatest influences\, the Stanley Brothers. \nThe Ramblin’ Letters play a lot in and around the New Orleans area\, with regular gigs on Frenchmen\, the French Quarter\, Uptown\, on the Northshore\, and in Mississippi. More recently they have graced the stage at New Orleans icons Tipitina’s\, the Maple Leaf\, Le Bon Temps\, Abita Springs Opry\, French Quarter Festival and Audubon Zoo. They are gaining a reputation for their talented instrumentation\, rich vocal harmonies\, acapella songs\, and marathon sets. \n

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Artist Perspective with Adam Mysock
DESCRIPTION:Start your weekend off with NOMA! Join artist Adam Mysock for a special discussion on the exhibition Visions of US: American Art at NOMA. After the discussion\, stick around for a film screening on Chuck Close\, one of the artists featured in the exhibition. \n\n5-8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5-6 pm: NOCCA Choir\n6-8 pm: Opera On Tap!\n6:30 pm: Artist Perspective with Adam Mysock: “On Seeing and Being”\n7:30 pm: Film: Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress\n\nAbout “On Seeing and Being”\nOn Seeing and Being is a conversation lead by local painter Adam Mysock\, who will explore how our responses to images can help us develop a better understanding of our own identities. Reflecting on his own recent paintings and several more historical works in Visions of US: American Art at NOMA\, Mysock will tackle how factors such as scale\, time\, and duplication influence the relationship an audience has with an image\, an image has with its audience\, and an audience has with itself. \nAbout Opera on Tap!\nNew Orleans Opera’s popular “Opera On Tap” series was the first official franchise of an organization based in New York City. There are now chapters in Chicago\, LA\, San Francisco\, Denver\, Minneapolis\, St. Paul\, Atlanta\, and Boston. The group performs regularly throughout the metro area including French Quarter Fest and on The Steamboat Natchez. \nAbout Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress\nSince 1969\, when Chuck Close first exhibited his series of black-and-white portrait heads\, his paintings have fascinated the public. Working mostly from instant photographs\, Close paints in a style that vacillates between representation and abstraction. His colossal heads\, at first severe and confrontational\, explode with painterly energy\, mesmerizing the viewer with their mosaic-like surfaces. Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress traces the artist’s evolution and follows Close into New York’s contemporary art community.
