SUMMARY:Book Club Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. It is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book! In addition to monthly book discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections. Books are selected in advance and planned for the entire year according to the exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the selected titles. Meetings are held in person or via Zoom\, determined at the beginning of each month. All meetings begin at 12 pm. \nFor more information on the NOMA Book Club please contact NOMA’s Curator of Education\, Tracy Kennan\, at tkennan@noma.org or (504) 658-4113. \nREGISTER NOW \nNOVEMBER\nThe Last Leonardo: The Secret Lives of the World’s Most Expensive Painting by Ben Lewis\nBallantine Books\, 2019\, ISBN: 1984819259\n \nIn 2017\, Leonardo da Vinci’s small oil painting the Salvator Mundi was sold at auction. In the words of its discoverer\, the image of Christ as savior of the world is “the rarest thing on the planet.” Its $450 million sale price also makes it the world’s most expensive painting. \nFor two centuries\, art dealers had searched in vain for the Holy Grail of art history: a portrait of Christ as the Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci. Many similar paintings of greatly varying quality had been executed by Leonardo’s assistants in the early 16th century. But where was the original by the master himself? In November 2017\, Christie’s auction house announced they had it. But did they? \nThe Last Leonardo tells a thrilling tale of a spellbinding icon invested with the power to make or break the reputations of scholars\, billionaires\, kings\, and sheikhs. Ben Lewis takes us to Leonardo’s studio in Renaissance Italy; to the court of Charles I and the English Civil War; to Amsterdam\, Moscow\, and New Orleans; to the galleries\, salerooms\, and restorer’s workshop as the painting slowly\, painstakingly emerged from obscurity. The vicissitudes of the highly secretive art market are charted across six centuries. It is a twisting tale of geniuses and oligarchs\, double-crossings and disappearances\, in which we’re never quite certain what to believe. Above all\, it is an adventure story about the search for lost treasure\, and a quest for the truth. \nBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP | FRIDAY\, NOVEMBER 30\, 12 pm \n\n  \n                                                \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art 2021: Enduring Care
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Museum of Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2021 by presenting ENDURING CARE\, a video program highlighting strategies of community care within the ongoing HIV epidemic. The program features newly commissioned work by Katherine Cheairs\, Cristóbal Guerra\, Danny Kilbride\, Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad and Uriah Bussey\, Beto Pérez\, Steed Taylor\, and J Triangular and the Women’s Video Support Project. \nFrom histories of harm reduction and prison activism to the long-term effects of HIV medication\, ENDURING CARE centers stories of collective care\, mutual aid\, and solidarity while pointing to the negligence of governments and nonprofits. The program’s title suggests a dual meaning\, honoring the perseverance and commitment of care workers yet also addressing the potential for harm from medications and healthcare providers. ENDURING CARE disrupts the assumption that an epidemic can be solved with pharmaceuticals alone\, recasting community work as a lasting form of medicine. \nDrop by NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts anytime between 10 am and 5 pm on Wednesday\, December 1\, to view the video program. This program is included with museum admission\, and on Wednesdays\, Louisiana residents receive free admission\, courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nReserve Tickets \n\nDive into the following discussion guide to further investigate the topics\, themes\, and ideas explored in ENDURING CARE. \nDownload \n\nAbout the Films\nKatherine Cheairs\, Voices at the Gate\nVoices at the Gate juxtaposes the bucolic landscapes inhabited by women’s prisons with archival and contemporary audio recordings of poems\, essays\, and interviews produced by women of color in the early 19990s at the intersection of incarceration and HIV & AIDS activism. \nKatherine “Kat” Cheairs is a filmmaker\, educator\, curator\, activist and community artist.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Club: Curatorial Program with Katie Pfohl
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. It is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book! In addition to monthly discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections. \nBooks are selected in advance and planned for the entire year according to the exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the selected titles. Most of the titles are available for purchase in store at the NOMA Museum Shop. \nFor more information on the NOMA Book Club please contact NOMA’s Curator of Education\, Tracy Kennan\, at tkennan@noma.org or (504) 658-4113. \nREGISTER NOW \nJanuary 2022\nVirtual Curatorial Program | Tuesday\, January 18\, 12 pm\nwith Katie Pfohl\, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art \nStephen Hawking: A Memoir of Friendship and Physics by Leonard Mlodinow\nPantheon\, 2020\, ISBN: 978-1524748685\n \nOne of the most influential physicists of our time\, Stephen Hawking touched the lives of millions. Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking’s collaborator and friend\, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in a unique and deeply personal portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius\, who pours his mind into uncovering the mysteries of the universe—ultimately formulating a pathbreaking theory of black holes that reignites the discipline of cosmology and paves the way for physicists to investigate the origins of the universe in completely new ways. We meet Hawking the colleague\, a man whose illness leaves him able to communicate at only six words per minute but who expends the effort to punctuate his conversations with humor. And we meet Hawking the friend\, who can convey volumes with a frown\, a smile\, or simply a raised eyebrow. Mlodinow captures the indomitable spirit of his friend\, offering us insights from one of physics’ greatest practitioners about life\, the universe\, and the ability to overcome daunting obstacles. \n\n\n  \n                                                \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

SUMMARY:Pedro Segundo in the Great Hall
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the closing of Dawn DeDeaux: The Space Between Worlds\, Pedro Segundo presents a solo percussion performance in NOMA’s Great Hall. A musical composition by Segundo is featured in DeDeaux’s work Where’s Mary\, and this special event is inspired by that score and the exhibition’s themes of beginnings and ends. \nDoors open at 5:30 pm\, and the performance begins at 6:00 pm. Visitors are invited to explore the galleries after-hours until 7:30 pm. \n$15 General Admission | $5 for Members \nGet Tickets \nAbout the Exhibition\nDawn DeDeaux: The Space Between Worlds is the first comprehensive museum exhibition for the pioneering multimedia artist Dawn DeDeaux. Since the 1970s\, DeDeaux’s practice has spanned video\, performance\, photography\, and installation to create art that exists at the edge of the Anthropocene. Anticipating a future imperiled by the runaway population growth\, breakneck industrial development\, and the looming threat of climate change\, DeDeaux has long worked between worlds of the present and the future. \nLearn More \nAbout Pedro Segundo\n\nPedro Segundo is the embodiment of dynamism. Equally at home behind 18th-century-style kettle drums and a five-piece drum kit\, Pedro makes every object he touches a channel for his incredible musical energy. \n\n\nPedro grew up in Portugal and was reared on an eclectic blend of gospel\, classical\, swing and world music. All of these genres have spurred him on to his singularly unique approach to percussion. \nIn 2010 he became the house drummer of Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London\, England whilst finishing his Timpani and Classical percussion degree at Guildhall School of a music and Drama. \nHe has performed around the world with such artists as Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields as guest timpanist with Sir Neville Marriner\, Murray Perahia\, and Joshua Bell\, and more recently with Judith Owen\, Dennis Rollins\, Cyrille Aimée\, as well as Chineke! Orchestra at the BBC proms’21. \n\n\nLocally\, you can catch Pedro’s work at NOMA as part of Dawn DeDeaux’s retrospective\, weekly gigs at Pontchartrain Hotel or Royal Frenchman Hotel\, or his upcoming debut with the Louisiana Philharmonic on March 24\, 2022. \n\nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community. At this time\, visitors to the museum ages 12 and up are required to show proof of two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine (or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine)\, or negative results of a Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of your visit.

They are available for purchase directly from our partner vendors. \n\nAbout First Fridays at NOMA\nEach month\, the museum presents First Fridays at NOMA\, an after-hours inclusive programmatic mix of live DJs and bands; local creatives speaking about their favorite works of art; a range of performance and dance; and unique experiences of all kinds in response to art from across time and place. Participants will meet artists\, get creative\, and immerse themselves in New Orleans’s creative community. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project\nLilli Lewis. Photo by Liz Hogan. \nAs the story goes\, Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born\, Lewis’s mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble\, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces\, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound\, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are\, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project is more than a band. It’s a pan-generational cult of radical decency that delivers heart-throbbing\, earnest rock and soul that “makes you want to put your hands in the air\, shout hallelujah and shake your booty for the rest of the night\, with enough energy to power a large city” (Jamie Anderson\, indie-music.com). \nLewis is said to have “Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s virtuoso commitment to her instrument and Odetta’s vocal power\, creating a show that is a force of nature.” The Louisiana Red Hot Records artist has two releases on the label of Dumpstaphunk\, Honey Island Swamp Band\, and 2018 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Cyril Neville. \nThe regular LLP lineup is a cosmic swarm of fellow idealist music nerds: Smokey Brown (Think Less\, Hear More)\, Wade Hymel (Dash Rip Rock)\, Ryan Murray (Marina Orchestra\, Bloco Jacare)\, Ole Oddlokken (Noisewater) and master composer/virtuoso bassist Dr. Jimbo Walsh. Willing to traverse any musical terrain\, LLP bears the spirit of days when everyone still believed music could change the world. \nLearn More \nIn the Galleries\nKeith Duncan (American\, b. 1967)\, Grambling State University Drum Major 2\, 2020\, Acrylic on wallpaper mounted to canvas\, Museum purchase\, P. Roussel Norman Fund\, E-2021-14.1\, Courtesy of the artist and Fort Gansevoort © Keith Duncan \nNEW at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art spotlights contemporary art recently purchased or gifted to the museum\, focusing on works by BIPOC\, LGBTQIA+\, and female-identifying artists. The second in a series of exhibitions that began in 2017\, NEW at NOMA reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to make the art on its walls more reflective of the community that it serves. The installation\, which will rotate over time\, features work by local\, national\, and international artists\, and champions the work of emerging and underrepresented voices\, including those within New Orleans. \nIn 2020\, NOMA dedicated its available acquisition funds to purchasing works by BIPOC artists; more than half of the 20 works acquired are by artists from or working in New Orleans. As NOMA strives to become even more equitable and inclusive\, the museum’s commitment to addressing exclusions in the past by collecting through new acquisitions will continue through 2021 and beyond. \nLearn More \nAbout Rearranging the Planets\nCreative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nLearn More \nAbout Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative\nJane Place Neighbrohood Sustainability Initiative is a community land trust and housing rights organization committed to creating sustainable\, democratic\, and economically just neighborhoods and communities in New Orleans. \nLearn More \nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community. At this time\, visitors to the museum ages 12 and up are required to show proof of two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine (or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine)\, or negative results of a Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of your visit.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion: Margaret T.G. Burroughs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual panel discussion about the life and work of painter\, activist\, and poet Margaret T.G. Burroughs. \nBorn in Saint Rose\, Louisiana\, Burroughs spent much of her professional career in Chicago\, where she was a cofounder of the DuSable Museum of African American History\, the nation’s first independent museum celebrating Black culture. \nNOMA recently acquired the artist’s only self-portrait\, which is now on view in the museum’s modern art galleries. This extraordinary work reflects Burroughs’s lifelong commitment to highlighting the contributions of Black artists to art history. It also illuminates the underestimated role African art played in the history of Modernism.  \nKatie Pfohl\, NOMA’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, will moderate the discussion with gallerist Dr. Stella Jones; Charlie Johnson\, President of the New Orleans chapter of the National Conference of Artists; and Ndubuisi Ezeluomba\, NOMA’s Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art. \nThe group will discuss Burroughs’s legacy and how this self-portrait helps tell a more complete story of art history—one that looks to a lineage of African art instead of just the Western European canon. \nRegister Now \nThis live virtual panel discussion is free with advanced registration and will take place via Zoom. After you register\, you’ll be sent an email including a link to access the talk on Thursday\, February 10.

SUMMARY:Steve Lands: Rearranging the Planets
DESCRIPTION:Creative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Gladney; Amari Ansari; and Cubs the Poet. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nPerformances take place in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts on Friday\, February 18\, and Saturday\, February 19\, at 8 pm. \nTickets are $30 | $25 for members \nBuy Tickets \n  \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. He later attended the prestigious New Orleans Center of Creative Arts\, where he studied with Michael Pellera\, Chris Severin\, Ellis Marsalis\, and Jason Marsalis. While in high school\, he toured parts of South Africa with the Batiste Brothers Band from New Orleans. Shea is a 2014 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, where he studied jazz piano with Dan Wall. He continues to travel and engage in different projects throughout the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\nAlfred Jordan Jr.\nBorn in New Orleans in 1993\, Alfred Jordan Jr.’s parents noticed the gift that was on their son. Growing up in church\, gospel music played a huge part in molding him as a drummer. Alfred’s skill sprouted\, awarding him a full scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music graduating with a B.A. Alfred’s love for music turned into his profession\, landing his gig as the current drummer for Big Sam’s Funky Nation and has also been fortunate to work with Donald Harrison\, Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Kent Jordan as well as his collective projects NwaSoul Project and Bignatiouss. Alfred is forever grateful knowing this is “for the love of music.”\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nWe have watched Xavier Molina grow as an artist since 2006 when he first picked up the trumpet. Xavier has blossomed into a singer/songwriter\, drummer and trumpeter with a heart dedicated to making great music. Xavier has played with several independent bands in the New Orleans\, Atlanta and Alabama areas\, and never ceases to amaze the audiences anywhere.\n\n\n\n\nMax Moran\nMax Moran is a Louisiana born musician and composer who has become a first-call bassist across several genres in New Orleans’ thriving music scene.

He started his career first as a sideman to many inspiring contemporary young artists performing original music\, while also accompanying and learning from New Orleans legacy artists who keep the traditions of their city’s music alive and thriving. He has become known as a versatile music producer working in studios writing\, recording & performing songs for world-class artists including Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Jamison Ross\, Wendell Brunious\, MonoNeon\, John “Papa” Gros\, Elzhi\, Nesby Phips\, Fiend and many others. In 2016 he co founded the independent record label Bubble Bath Records with 3 other friends that helps to educate\, elevate & empower over twenty young artists who need support in navigating the music industry. “The Dream Catcher”\, the debut album from Maestas’ alt-rock band Juan Tigre\, is music inspired by the iconic high desert imagery of New Mexico and imbued with the expansive folklore of the Southwest.\n\n\n\n\nGladney\nGrammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and composer Gladney is a leading contemporary exponent of the saxophone. A 6th generation native of New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward\, Gladney has performed and traveled professionally since the age of 12. Along with his work with The Rumble and the Jake Shears Band (Scissor Sisters)\, Gladney leads his own self-titled band and is preparing to release his debut EP and album this year.\n\n\n\n\nAmari Ansari\nAmari Ansari brings a fresh voice to the saxophone. The son of a gospel pianist\, the Alabama native credits his earliest interest in music to southern gospel and the late Alabama jazz educator Dr. Frank Adams Sr. Upon moving to New Orleans in 2009\, he was the recipient of the University of New Orleans’ Ellis Marsalis Jazz Scholarship where he would go on to graduate with a Master’s Degree in Music. This introduction to the Marsalis family led him to meet NEA Jazz Master Delfeayo Marsalis\, eventually becoming a long time member of the Marsalis led band the Uptown Jazz Orchestra. With his feature on Marsalis’ 2019 release\, Jazz Party \, Downbeat Magazine called Amari’s style\, “Hank Crawford meets Maceo Parker.”\n\n\n\n\nCubs the Poet\nCubs the Poet has been writing poems since 1989. Later in life\, he studied psychology in school and began thinking for himself. It wasn’t long before he decided to study life outside of the classroom. He began typing poems on a typewriter\, in the middle of the French Quarter on Royal Street\, in New Orleans\, Louisiana. He is now an artist-in-residence at the Columns Hotel and his Poetraits blend portraiture and poetry.\n\n\n\n\nFrancis Wong\nFrancis Wong grew up in the New Orleans area and escaped into art from a young age. He attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and attended the University of New Orleans studying fine art and film.

His creativity and his eye for art were instrumental in his success as a tattoo artist. His journey as a tattoo artist\, which began at the age of 15\, took his art to another level. Soon\, his focus shifted to painting on canvas. \nFollowing Hurricane Katrina\, Jay traveled to further his art education. He studied in Washington\, DC\, and Cape Town\, South Africa. ​In December 2015\, Jay presented his first solo art show called Retro●Spective. There\, he introduced a series of paintings focused on his life experiences in New Orleans ghettos in the ’90s. In January 2017\, he presented his second solo art show Year of the Camo\, a series of paintings. He has had the opportunity to present personal art pieces to various celebrities and is honored to share his most recent works with you.

We invite you to slow down\, view the art\, and also truly listen to yourself and one another in this immersive meditative experience for paired listening sessions\, led by Freedom At The Mat. \nFreedom at the Mat is an online and offline me-time community destination for women to pursue and obtain freedom from emotional scars and everyday challenges as we intentionally pursue the desires of their hearts. \nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValerie’s Food Truck\nValerie’s Food Truck offers a selection of Creole food for purchase in front of the museum.\n\n\n\n\nMahmoud Chouki\nNOMA is pleased to work with internationally renowned multi-instrumentalist and composer Mahmoud Chouki\, who will organize musical performances for each First Fridays program in collaboration with museum staff. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community.
