SUMMARY:NOMA Book Club Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow book lovers as we read and discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art\, artists\, art museums\, NOMA’s collections and exhibitions. Our full 2020 schedule and reading list has been announced. \nOrganized by NOMA’s Felix J. Dreyfous Library\, the Book Club is an informal group. You do not have to attend every meeting and we understand if you have to leave a discussion or program early. The book club offers several types of programs: a book discussion group that meets once a month (no reading in December)\, curatorial programs\, field trips\, and Meet the Author receptions. Most book club programs start promptly at noon\, but please arrive at 11:30 a.m. if you wish to bring a sack lunch or meet beforehand. NOMA will provide water and soft drinks. \nRSVP for the meetings you wish to attend so we can prepare the meeting space. \nPlease contact NOMA’s Education Department at 504.658.4128 or education@noma.org for information about joining the NOMA Book Club. \nJanuary 2020\nThe Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert Picador\nHenry Holt & Comany\, 2015\, ISBN: 1250062187 \nOver the last half-billion years\, there have been five mass extinctions\, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction\, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. In prose that is frank\, entertaining\, and deeply informed\, Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before. Providing a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes\, Kolbert shows how the sixth extinction is likely to be mankind’s most lasting legacy\, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human. \nTHURSDAY\, JANUARY 9\, 12 – 1 pm | CURATORIAL PROGRAM with Russell Lord\, Freeman Family Curator of Photography \nTHURSDAY\, JANUARY 30\, 12 – 1 pm | BOOK DISCUSSION

SUMMARY:NOMA Book Club Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow book lovers as we read and discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art\, artists\, art museums\, NOMA’s collections and exhibitions. Our full 2020 schedule and reading list has been announced. \nOrganized by NOMA’s Felix J. Dreyfous Library\, the Book Club is an informal group. You do not have to attend every meeting and we understand if you have to leave a discussion or program early. The book club offers several types of programs: a book discussion group that meets once a month (no reading in December)\, curatorial programs\, field trips\, and Meet the Author receptions. Most book club programs start promptly at noon\, but please arrive at 11:30 a.m. if you wish to bring a sack lunch or meet beforehand. NOMA will provide water and soft drinks. \nRSVP for the meetings you wish to attend so we can prepare the meeting space. \nPlease contact NOMA’s Education Department at 504.658.4128 or education@noma.org for information about joining the NOMA Book Club. \nFebruary 2020\nThe Glass Room: A Novel by Simon Mawer \nOther Press\, 2009\, ISBN: 1590513967 \nHoneymooners Viktor and Liesel Landauer are filled with the optimism and cultural vibrancy of central Europe of the 1920s when they meet modernist architect Rainer von Abt. He builds for them a home to embody their exuberant faith in the future\, and the Landauer House becomes an instant masterpiece. The honesty and idealism of 1930 quickly evaporate with the onset of World War II\, and the marriage also shows signs of strain. This family must leave their old life behind\, but the house’s story is far from over. As it passes from hand to hand\, from Czech to Russian\, both the best and the worst of the history of Eastern Europe becomes embodied and perhaps emboldened within the beautiful and austere surfaces and planes of the carefully designed house. \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 28\, 12 – 1 pm | BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

SUMMARY:Lecture: Herbert Bayer and the Bauhaus Legacy in America with Benjamin Benus
DESCRIPTION:NOMA invites artists\, curators\, and other special guests to speak throughout the year. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nBenjamin Benus\, an associate professor of art and design history at Loyola University in New Orleans\, specializes in the history of twentieth-century art and design\, with a focus on Central Europe in the years between the world wars. His research examines connections between avant-garde art\, scientific illustration\, and data visualization during this period. This talk will be held in NOMA’s boardroom on the second floor. \nAs director of the Bauhaus printing and advertising workshop from 1925 to 1928\, the Austrian-born artist Herbert Bayer helped to shape the school’s distinctive approach to graphic design. This talk\, presented in conjunction with the exhibition An Ideal Unity: The Bauhaus and Beyond\, considers how Bayer\, following his immigration to the United States in 1938\, continued to explore and develop Bauhaus design principles within a variety of media\, including book illustration\, advertising\, and exhibition design. \n

With the admonition to “write this down\,” Williams began to describe how slaves made coded quilts and used them to navigate their escape on the Underground Railroad. During the three years it took for Williams’s narrative to unfold—and as the friendship and trust between the two women grew—Tobin enlisted New Orleans native Raymond Dobard\, Ph.D.\, an art history professor and well-known African American quilter\, to help unravel the mystery.  \nTUESDAY\, MARCH 24\, 12 – 1 pm | BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
