SUMMARY:Film Screening and Conversation: World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Museum of Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for the thirtieth annual Day With(out) Art by presenting STILL BEGINNING\, a program of seven newly commissioned videos responding to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic by Shanti Avirgan\, Nguyen Tan Hoang\, Carl George\, Viva Ruiz\, Iman Shervington\, Jack Waters/Victor F.M. Torres\, and Derrick Woods-Morrow. The program is included with museum admission; free to NOMA Members. \nThe seven short videos range in subject from anti-stigma work in New Orleans to public sex culture in Chicago\, highlighting pioneering AIDS activism and staging intergenerational conversations. Recalling artist Gregg Bordowitz’s reminder that “The AIDS crisis is still beginning\,”* the video program resists narratives of resolution or conclusion\, considering the continued urgency of HIV/AIDS in the contemporary moment while revisiting resonant cultural histories from the past three decades. (*The phrase first appeared in Bordowitz’s installation Drive (2002) and was recently displayed as a banner at the Art Institute of Chicago.)  \nA panel discussion moderated by Jennifer Williams\, NOMA’s Public Programs Manager\, will follow the screening featuring Sian Green and Angie Brown\, members of the Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies\, a national non-profit health organization based in New Orleans. Green and Brown are both featured in the video I’m Still Me by Iman Shervington. \nABOUT VISUAL AIDS\nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. In 1989\, Visual AIDS organized the first Day Without Art\, a call to the art world for mourning and action in response to the AIDS crisis. For Day With(out) Art’s thirtieth year\, over 100 institutions worldwide will screen STILL BEGINNING\, recognizing the important and necessary work of artists\, activists\, and cultural workers who have responded to AIDS while emphasizing the persistent presence of the epidemic.  \nIn 1989\, Visual AIDS organized the first Day Without Art\, a call to the art world for mourning and action in response to the AIDS crisis. Every year since\, Visual AIDS has coordinated and publicized events at museums\, universities\, and arts organizations to highlight the ongoing urgency of the epidemic. \nFeatured Videos\nShanti Avirgan\, Beat Goes On \nBeat Goes On is an all-archival video portrait of Keith Cylar (1958–2004)\, the co-founder of Housing Works and a central figure in the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) NY. \nCarl George\, The Lie \nThe Lie is the latest in an ongoing series of short films drawing on found footage and original materials from the artist’s archive. Offering “ruminations on ruined nations\,” the film aims to expose the links between war\, poverty\, AIDS and capitalism\, and discredit the persistent mythologies that bind them all. \nNguyen Tan Hoang\, I Remember Dancing \nI Remember Dancing brings together an intergenerational cast of trans and queer “gaysians” ruminating on the past and future of AIDS\, activism\, gay culture\, love\, and (un)safe sex. \nViva Ruiz\, Chloe Dzubilo: There is a Transolution \nViva Ruiz invites transgender AIDS activist\, artist\, and beloved friend Chloe Dzubilo (1960-2011) to speak via never before seen Hi-8 footage filmed by Chloe’s then-partner Kelly McGowan. \nIman Shervington\, I’m Still Me \nI’m Still Me highlights Sian\, a Black woman living with HIV in Louisiana\, who works in partnership with the Institute of Women & Ethnic Studies to address the disproportionate effect of HIV on Black women in the South. \nJack Waters/Victor F.M. Torres\, (eye\, virus) \nThrough an experimental collage of video and pictographs\, (eye\, virus) explores how conversations around disclosure\, stigma\, and harm reduction shift across generations and from public to private realms. Collaboratively produced with Victor F.M. Torres and Nikki Sweet. \nDerrick Woods-Morrow\, Much handled things are always soft \nDerrick Woods-Morrow will document the geography of the public sex culture of Black Chicago from the 1960s through the 1980s\, in conversation with photographer and longterm survivor Patric McCoy.

SUMMARY:Fragmented Landscapes Film Series
DESCRIPTION:On four select Saturdays at 2 pm throughout the run of Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana\, NOMA will screen a series of films curated by Maaike Gouwenberg of Deltaworkers collectively titled Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia. \nDecember 7 |  New Ideas about Landscape \nDecember 14 | A Country That is Not of This World  \nJanuary 11 | Stories and Place  \nJanuary 18 | The Louisiana Landscape (Read more about the selected films) \nIn a rapidly changing Louisiana\, the natural landscape becomes part of daily life. The fluidity of the marshlands that grow from sediment brought by the Mississippi from the north\, and the human interactions that change the course of that natural process\, are a constant reminder of our presence in—and impact upon—the area. Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia presents films that focus on landscapes—films that present the landscape as a way to communicate ideas about representation\, where the medium of film is the key to examining the landscape in relation to political histories. The films presented in Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia are linked to human interference\, painful pasts\, and the rule of law. \nABOUT MAAIKE GOUWENBERG\nMaaike Gouwenberg is a curator and producer working between Europe and the US. Since 2017 she is affiliated with Performa\, co-director of Deltaworkers international residency program in New Orleans\, and she is part of the mid-length committee at International Film Festival Rotterdam. After running multidisciplinary exhibition space Expodium in Utrecht\, Gouwenberg participated in the De Appel Curatorial Program (2006-2007) and worked at If I Can’t Dance\, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution (2007 – 2011). She produced major projects at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam including Alexandre Singh’s “The Humans”\, Michael Portnoy’s “Relational Stalinism – The Musical\,” and “The Ten Murders of Josephine” with Rana Hamadeh. In 2010\, Gouwenberg initiated A.P.E. (art projects era) with artist Keren Cytter and curator Kathy Noble. \nFilm still from The Brother by Léa Triboulet

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: Ancestors in Stone with Curator Ndubuisi Ezeluomba
DESCRIPTION:Gallery talks are casual conversations between artists\, curators\, and other special guests with NOMA visitors frequently scheduled throughout the year. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nJoin Curator Ndubuisi Ezeluomba for a discussion about Ancestors in Stone\, an exhibition centered upon a recently acquired akwanshi stone monolith from the Cross River region of Nigeria\, supported with figures and objects rendered in part or whole in stone from other regions of West Africa. The show speaks to the significance of stone as both a natural element and a significant material in the veneration of ancestors. Although carved stones represent ancestors\, uncarved stones may also represent ancestors. Such characteristics suggest the importance of stone to this and other African cultures. \nImage: Akwanshi\, c. 16th century\, Stone\, Ejagham artist\, Nigeria\, Museum purchase\, Francoise Billion Richardson and Robert P.

SUMMARY:PhotoNOLA Keynote Address: Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the citywide PhotoNOLA Festival\, NOMA will host the keynote address by Keith Calhoun and Chandra McCormick\, a husband-and-wife team of New Orleans-based photographers born and raised in the Lower Ninth Ward who have documented Louisiana and its people for more than 35 years. \nPlease RSVP for limited seating in the NOMA Auditorium. \nThe work of Calhoun and McCormick spans the music culture of New Orleans\, including brass bands\, jazz funerals\, social aid and pleasure clubs\, and Mardi Gras Indians. They have documented river baptisms in rural Louisiana and African American laborers\, ranging from sugar-cane scrappers to dockworkers and longshoremen at the Port of New Orleans. As proponents of social activism through photography\, Calhoun and McCormick have been granted rare access inside the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola beginning in the 1980s and continuing to today\, resulting in a series they titled Slavery: The Prison Industrial Complex. In 2014\, their work was selected for the 56th annual Venice Beinnale. They have been featured on the PBS NewsHour\, CBS Sunday Morning\, National Geographic\, Aperture\, and The New Yorker\, and their photographs have been exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art\, The Louisiana State Museum\, and The Smithsonian Institution’s Anacostia Museum\, among others. Learn more and view works from their portfolio by visiting the couple’s website. \nCalhoun and McCormick will sign copies of their book Louisiana Medley in the Museum Shop following the lecture.

SUMMARY:NOMA Book Club Curatorial Program

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.

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:Friday Nights at NOMA: Gallery Talks about Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2020: 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. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table \n5:30 – 8:30 pm | Music by Susanne Ortner and Catherine Bent \n6 pm | Exhibition walkthrough of Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana with Curator Katie Pfohl \n7 pm | Gallery Talk about Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana with Curator Nic Aziz \n7:30 pm | Gallery Talk about Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana with Project Coordinator Dorthy Ray of the 1811 Slave Rebellion Reenactment \nABOUT SUSANNE ORTNER AND CATHERINE BENT\nThe duo of Susanne Ortner on reeds and Catherine Bent on cello will perform in the Great Hall. New Orleans-based German clarinetist and saxophonist\, and composer Susanne Ortner is equally conversant in jazz\, classical\, and a variety of ethnic music. Catherine Bent is a Berklee College of Music professor who found herself in Brazil\, with no Portuguese to speak of available to her\, but she quickly was embraced by the choro community in Rio de Janeiro. Choro is a string-based music genre\, so even though Bent didn’t speak the language\, her instrument did the communicating for her. \nABOUT INVENTING ACADIA: PAINTING AND PLACE IN LOUISIANA\nA variety of tours and discussions related to Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana will be conducted\, with particular emphasis on the portrayal of African Americans in nineteenth-century landscape paintings of the state. Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana is the first major exhibition featuring Louisiana landscape painting in more than forty years. Exploring the rise of landscape painting in Louisiana during the nineteenth century\, the exhibition reveals Louisiana’s role in creating—and exporting—a new vision for American landscape painting that was vastly different from that found in the rest of the United States. The exhibition shows how landscape painters from across the globe came together in Louisiana to form a new school of landscape painting that rivaled all others in the country. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is presented by The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate and 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.
