Hello Docents-

Next Thursday, July 21, we will have a visit from Jonathan Katz here at Tacoma Art Museum to talk about Hide/Seek. If you are able to come, you are encouraged to do so. I haven’t had the opportunity to get more details from Rock as he is out of the office but I will get that to you next Tuesday. Meanwhile, if you can earmark that time to come, providing you are available, I do not think you will be disappointed!

 

An introduction to Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture

Thursday, July 28, 1 pm

 

Join co-curator Dr. Jonathan D. Katz for an introduction to Hide/Seek months before the exhibition comes to Tacoma. Learn about the power of sexual difference in American art in the context of this groundbreaking exhibition, scheduled to open at Tacoma Art Museum on March 17, 2012. Dr. Katz will address such themes as the role of sexual difference in depicting modern America; how major themes in modern art were influenced by social marginalization; and how art reflected society’s evolving and changing attitudes toward sexuality, desire, and romantic attachment.

 

Space is limited. Registration is required. – DETAILS TO COME

 

Thank you,

-Jana

TAM Docents:More Virna Haffer

Hello Docents-
Attached is a HUGE PDF of label text that I scrounged from the Curatorial files for Virna Haffer, upon request. I was not able to make any modifications (or, at least, I didn't feel comfortable doing so) and that makes for many pages. I will have a copy at the docent desk next week, if not before. Feel free to print or copy just what you want/need. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you,
-Jana

TAM Docents: Mummy Tour!

Hello Docents and VS Specialists-

Below is my current RSVP list for the tour of the Wrapped exhibition at the Washington State History Museum next Friday, July 29 at 1:30 pm. You can either meet there, or join us for lunch at Indochine at 12 pm (no-host but well worth it!). I will be making reservations (don’t worry, I will avoid the sunken table!) so I need to know who is coming for lunch. I hope that more of you can make it.

Dear Jana and Megan:

 

Was reading the latest edition of Time magazine and came across a picture of the Ruby Bridges painting by Norman Rockwell. It is now outside of the OVAL OFFICE in Washington, DC. until the end of October, 2011.

 

Thought you'd enjoy this story and perhaps post it for the docents to read.

And to think it hung at Tacoma Art Museum just a month ago!! Be sure to watch the little video clip attached to see Ruby and Obama!
