Dear Docents,
In the fall of 2008, Tacoma Art Museum will be showing an exhibition by Don Fels.
A copy of the catalog is at the docent bookshelf.
What is a Trade? Donald Fels and Signboard Painters of South India |
Northwest artist Donald Fels has been creating work around the connections between trade and culture for over a decade. For this project, Fels took as his conceptual starting point the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama’s voyages to India as a spice trader. Fels commissioned sign painters in India to collaborate with him to create thirteen large enamel-on-metal panels that examine the legacy of trade in India and how trade impacts cultures and populations beyond the simple exchange of goods.
This exhibition will be on view in Spokane from May 2 – June 29, 2008:

I do have a copy of the exhibition labels from the Spokane show—our labels will be slightly different. If you would like a copy of the Spokane labels, please let me know and I will email them to you individually.
Lastly, please refrain from buying the Don Fels catalog for now – I will give you more details in July.
Thanks for your time!
