October 2018 Selection
Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling by Ross King
Walker Books, 2003. ISBN: 978-0802713957
Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling recounts the fascinating story of the four extraordinary years the artist spent laboring over the twelve-thousand square feet of the vast ceiling, while war and the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him. A panorama of illustrious figures intersected during this time—the brilliant young painter Raphael, with whom Michelangelo formed a rivalry, the fiery preacher Girolamo Savonarola, and the great Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus.
Tuesday, October 16, 10 am – 5 pm | A rare, oversized book of photographs of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings in their pre-restoration condition will be on display in the Felix J. Dreyfous library

ABOUT BLATO ZLATO
Blato 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.
ABOUT NOLA 4 WOMEN PRESENT EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN AND THE FOUNDING OF A MODERN MUSEUM
This 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.

Taylor Foundation.

ABOUT EAR TO THE GROUND
Working 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.
ABOUT MILDRED THOMPSON: AGAINST THE GRAIN
Against 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.
ABOUT LINA IRIS VIKTOR: A HAVEN. A HELL. A DREAM DEFERRED.
Lina Iris Viktor is widely recognized for her exploration of art’s connection to history, spirituality, and prophecy. Recasting factual and fantastical narratives surrounding America’s involvement in the founding of Liberia, Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation.
Friday 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.

Under Three Things, a performance by artist Cristina Molina in Ear to the Ground exhibition
2018-10-31 13:00 - 15:00
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. Drawing 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.

JR X TIME: "The Gun Chronicles: A Story of America"
2018-11-01 19:00 - 21:00
This timely one-night-only installation in NOMA’s Great Hall is a collaboration between project between JR Artist and TIME Magazine that seeks to facilitate an unbiased and honest conversation about gun control. Admission is free.
ABOUT “THE GUN CHRONICLES: A STORY OF AMERICA”
It’s a truly American story: 325 million people, more than 265 million guns, 35,000 deaths a year and one 227-year-old constitutional right. To move beyond the familiar debate, TIME partnered with JR, an artist and photographer known for documenting social issues. In three U.S. cities profoundly affected by guns—Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.—the collaborative partners invited people to share their views, describe their experiences, and search for common ground. The project documents hunters and activists, teachers and police officers, parents and children.
JR and his team created a live mural of each person featured in the project. Individuals were filmed in slow motion, interacting with someone else in the mural, creating a living artwork which vividly depicts the issue of gun rights and gun violence. Each side of the issue is represented by individuals and groups sharing their stories and visual interactions. On a broader level, the live mural will be projected all around the U.S. and the project and made available to the public as a tool for gathering communities and creating meaningful dialogue.
About the image: JR photographed 245 people to create as mural for the cover of the November 5, 2018, edition of TIME. To view the entire mural and learn more about “The Gun Chronicles,” visit the project’s website.
