The tour is a general museum tour for a group of 9 people total, 5 international students with 4 adults from their host families.

 

No docents are scheduled on this shift, so if you want to stick around and do the afternoon docent shift on Jan. 27, that would be great too!

sub needed in March

We are going on a trip in March and I need  subs for 3/16 (3rd Thursday--lots of action) and 3/30.  The shift is from 10 to 2. I would gladly do your sift for you sometime if you can do mine.

Update: Untitled by Fischli & Weiss

This is an explanation of and some comments on Untitled by Peter Fischli and David Weiss, as given by Rock.

 

---

The projection is two slides projected onto the same space. The tricky bit is that the two slides change simultaneously but one fades into the second. Also, each single slide is actually two images superimposed into one. So, for each pair of slides, there are a few moments when there are four different flower images layered on top of one another!

 

Also, there is less of a sense of seasonal change than [Rock] expected. There is certainly a rhythm but it is less pronounced. It is easy to see as the flowers change in color from whites through pastels to vivid yellows and oranges and reds. There is also a noticeable progression in flower size.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Chihuly Floats

 

Greetings all:

 

We’ve had some change (and therefore confusion) with the title of the wonderful glass now installed in the stone garden. Pasted below is the final text for our labels.

 

The title is “Ma Chihuly’s Floats” and the installation itself, reflected in this title, is dedicated to the memory of the artist’s mother. She passed away this week.

 

 

 

 

Dale Chihuly (United States, born 1941)

Ma Chihuly’s Floats, 2006

Blown glass

 

Collection of the artist, installed in memory of Viola Chihuly 

 

A Tacoma native and internationally acclaimed artist, Dale Chihuly began his Niijima floats series in 1991. He brings them home to Tacoma in this installation, which is adjacent to Tacoma Art Museum’s permanent display of its premiere Chihuly collection.

 

The stone sculpture at the center of the museum is in the form of a wave. It was created by Seattle-based artist Richard Rhodes. Forty of Chihuly’s Niijima floats—balls of glass resembling glass spheres used on Japanese fishing nets—are placed on this metaphorical stone wave. Niijima is the name of the island in Japan where Chihuly began this series. The artist explained the creation of the floats, saying: “It is interesting that the most difficult series I have ever blown are the floats, considering the sphere is the easiest form to make in glass. It’s the most natural form you could blow. But it’s not natural at this scale. ”

FW: February Training Schedule

Thanks to Sid for noticing my mistake – the second training session is available in an AM and PM session. I mistakenly emailed you some contradictory information.

It is the January 18, 6 – 8 pm training session that is only available in the evening.

 

• Wed. Feb. 15, 6:00-8:00pm, OR Mon. Feb. 20, 10:30am-12:30pm – Great American Thing workshop: docent presentations on artists. (Don’t worry, this has yet to be organized. Like Sense of Place, each docent will research an artist.)

 

Thanks for your time!
