SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Screening of Shirin Neshat's Looking for Oum Kulthum | Music by Joy Clark | Artful Palate cooking demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2019: 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. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5 pm: “This is My America” screening of films created by high school students in partnership with NOVAC\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Joy Clark\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Chef Chris Fite\n6:30 pm: Screening of Looking for Oum Kulthum\n\nABOUT “THIS IS MY AMERICA” AND NOVAC\nDuring a two-week intensive study program\, ten high school students from metro New Orleans worked in partnership with Sundance Film Festival award-winning filmmaker Garrett Bradley\, NOMA\, and the New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC) to create films in conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. These short films will debut in Stern Auditorium. Garrett’s silent films\, collectively titled America\, are shown on continuous loop in the exhibition gallery. \nAs the longest-running media arts non-profit in the South\, NOVAC provides education\, training and resources for Louisiana’s independent filmmakers and storytelling communities. NOVAC also offers video production and digitizing services for the general public. \nABOUT JOY CLARK\nJoy Clark’s musical artistry feels like a warm\, fresh twist on the fervently familiar. Her tranquil yet ardent original creations are a heady mix of her major influences. Think Tracy Chapman\, Lizz Wright\, Maxwell\, Anita Baker\, Stevie Nicks and Chris Eaton. Now add a bluesy bayou vibe with a splash of folk sensibility and a dash of alternative appeal\, and you’ll understand why this homegrown New Orleans singer/ songwriter/guitarist transcends both age and the ordinary. \nHaving studied her self-taught craft since the age of 12\, Joy truly embodies the bliss that comes with creating melodies and rhythms to celebrate peace and the undeniable power of love. Her music is often described as the essence of ease\, upliftment\, self-affirmation and sensitivity. It’s no wonder that she quickly rose to critical acclaim as a founding member of the disbanded Soulkestra. Joy has also performed with Water Seed\, and living-legend Cyril Neville\, and continues to enchant audiences throughout the Southern United States and around the world. \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF CHRIS FITE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm with Café NOMA chef Chris Fite. He will prepare crepes de Norton. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes in weeks to come through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT LOOKING FOR OUM KULTHUM\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, NOMA will screen movies by Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. A film within a film\, Neshat’s 2017 drama Looking for Oum Kulthum follows the plight of an Iranian woman artist/filmmaker named Mitra living in exile\, as she embarks on capturing the life and art of the legendary female singer of the Arab world\, Oum Kulthum. Through her difficult journey\, not unlike her heroine’s\, she has to face the struggles\, sacrifices and the price that a woman has to pay if she dares to cross the lines of a conservative male dominated society. (2017 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 30 minutes | Watch the trailer) \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. \n

Chouki will be joined by New Orleans-based jazz pianist Oscar Rossignoli. \nMahmoud Chouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the Southern United States.

He tells the stories of the inventor of the bentwood chair\, Michael Thonet\, and of the creators of the first molded plywood chair\, Charles and Ray Eames. He reveals the history of chairs to be a social history—of different ways of sitting\, of changing manners and attitudes\, and of varying tastes. The history of chairs is the history of who we are. \nTuesday\, July 9\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Mel Buchanan\, RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design \nFriday\, July 26\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group

SUMMARY:Gallery Activation of Brève braises with artist Manon Bellet
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:Friday Nights at NOMA: Artist's Perspective with Wafaa Bilal | Music by Keiko and Mateo | Artful Palate cooking demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2019: 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. \n\n\n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Keiko and Mateo\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Knut Mjelde in Café NOMA\n6:30 pm: Artist’s Perspective Gallery Talk with Wafaa Bilal\n\n\n\nABOUT KEIKO AND MATEO\nThe duo of Keiko and Mateo will present a musical journey through Japan\, France\, Jamaica and Cuba … with a hint of New Orleans’s spirit. Keiko is a pianist from Japan and has lived in New Orleans since 2006\, performing with George Porter Jr.\, Johnny Vidacovich\, Zigaboo Modeliste\, Russell Batiste\, and many other artists of the funk/blues/jazz fusion scene. Mateo is a tenor saxophonist and vocalist from France whorecently moved to New Orleans from Barcelona. He has performed Afro-Latin jazz\, traditional Cuban and world music. Keiko and Mateo met as members of the international touring band Playing For Change and have been traveling around the world together since 2016. \nABOUT WAFAA BILAL\nDuring the invasion of Iraq in 2003\, the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad lost their entire library due to looters who set fire to the collection. More than 70\,000 books were destroyed. Over thirteen years later\, few books remain for the students to read and study. In 168:01\, Iraqi-American artist Wafaa Bilal presents an austere white library that is both a monument to the staggering cultural losses endured throughout Iraq’s history\, and a platform for its potential rebirth. Comprised of a series of white shelves filled with blank tomes\, Bilal’s library doubles as a system of exchange that connects museum visitors directly to Iraq. Aimed at restoring the library’s lost archives\, 168:01 positions viewers as potential donors whose contributions fund educational texts from a reading list compiled by faculty members at the University of Baghdad. As book donations accrue\, the bookshelf becomes saturated with knowledge and filled with color as the white library is slowly replaced with books from this faculty wish list. In exchange for their contribution\, donors receive the blank tomes. At the end of the exhibition\, all donated books are to be shipped to the College of Fine Arts\, to help begin the process of rebuilding. \nAlso on view are images from Bilal’s The Ashes Series\, photographs of a set of miniature handmade replicas of environments destroyed during the Iraq War. Each of these three-dimensional models references a specific journalistic photograph of war-torn Iraq that was circulated in newspapers\, magazines\, and on the internet in the wake of conflict. \nImage credit: Wafaa Bilal\, The Ashes Series: Piano\, 2003–2013\, Archival inkjet photograph\, 40 x 50 in.\, Image courtesy of the artist © Wafaa Bilal \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF KNUT MJELDE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm withKnut Mjelde\, Ralph’s on the Park sous chef.

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:Book Club Curatorial 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 2019 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. \nJuly 2019 Selection\nNow I Sit Me Down: From Klismos to Plastic Chair\, A Natural History by Witold Rybczynski\nFarrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2016\, ISBN: 978-0374223212 \nIn Now I Sit Me Down\, distinguished architect and writer Witold Rybczynski chronicles the history of the chair from the folding stools of pharaonic Egypt to the ubiquitous stackable monobloc chairs of today. He tells the stories of the inventor of the bentwood chair\, Michael Thonet\, and of the creators of the first molded plywood chair\, Charles and Ray Eames. He reveals the history of chairs to be a social history—of different ways of sitting\, of changing manners and attitudes\, and of varying tastes. The history of chairs is the history of who we are. \nTuesday\, July 9\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Mel Buchanan\, RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design \nFriday\, July 26\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group
