Meet the Makers

For nearly 30 years, Tina Barney has realistically

showcased the human condition through the eyes of the

social elite; indeed, she has been described as a DianeArbus of the rich. Using a large-format, 8-by-10 view

camera, Barney was also one of the first photographers

to present color work on a grand scale that rivaled most

20th-century paintings. Her photographs expose the

emotional and psychological currents that course just

beneath the surfaces of perfect trappings and banal

gestures. While the myth that material comfort ensures

personal contentment is an alluring one, Barneys

photographs undermine such illusions in their refusal

to serve as commemorations of happy times, importantgatherings, and ritualized affection.

Tina Barneys work was featured in the recent MIA

exhibition, Embarrassment of Riches: Picturing Global

Wealth. Her photographs are held in the Yale University

Art Gallery, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the

Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Museum of

Contemporary Photography, among other collections.

.IN CONVERSATION.. .

Photo Shoot

Photography has changed the way we understand sports and athletes. It not only captures key moments in games, but

also brands teams and transforms players into superstars. Photo Shoot will feature photographer Katherine Turczan

and professional athletes in conversation about how images are created, and how they project impressions and ideas

about the athletes identity in the public eye.

Participating athletes will be announced on artsmia.org closer to the events date.


Thursday, April 12, 6 p.m.


Matt Cullen and Katherine Turczan

Dont Love Your Books to Death!

Saturday, May 19, 11 a.m.

Friends Community Room

Dianna Clise

Books share our lives more intimately than

many works of art. Whatever the digital age may

bring, books are not just disembodied ideas and

language; they are also physical objects that

express a moment in history. Bindings must bind,

and pages must turn. Books stand on shelves

in our homes where we cook, smoke, spray

perfume, burn candles, and light fires. We affect

them as much as they affect us.

Environmental conditions and handling

can contribute to the preservationor the

deteriorationof books in private collections.

Whether you prefer graphic novels, cookbooks,

or medieval illuminated manuscripts,

understanding those factors that can damage

your books will help you improve the well-being

of your library.

Dianna Clise works atMidwest Art Conservation

Center(MACC). Before 2007, she interned

at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa,

Ontario, at Tate Britain in London, England,and at the National Museum of Natural History

in Washington, D.C. She has also worked as

a book and paper conservation technician at

Etherington Conservation Center in Greensboro,

N.C., and is a member of the American Institute

for the Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works

and its Canadian counterparts.

.LECTURE ..

2012 Regis Master: Richard Shaw

Saturday, May 26, 2 p.m.


Richard Shaw will reflect on his career and experiences

of working with clay and address major influences

on his lifes work. Shaws painting and sculpture

background (he earned his B.F.A. at the San Francisco

Art Institute) served him well as a student under

Robert Arneson at the University of California, Davis,

in the mid-1960s. Instead of creating ceramic sculpture

that was larger than life as Arneson did, Shaw moved

toward replication through his amazing trompe loeil

(literally, fool the eye) pieces. These grew from

tabletop objects to walking figures, such as Gubbins

Returnsin the MIAs collection, and demonstrate

the artists eye for detail as well as mastery of the

porcelain medium in his meticulous replication of

the figures components, including a wine bottle,

cardboard box, and spool of string. This move from

static, three-dimensional still lifes toward movement

and anthropomorphism imbued a new aspect to his

sculpture, perhaps inspired by the work of his father,

an animator for the Walt Disney Company.

Richard Shaw is the ceramic artist named Regis

Master for 2012 in this now 15-year series presented

with the Northern Clay Center. This series has includedmany of the major makers of works in clay over the

age of 65, who have made a substantial impact on the

medium in the last century and now the 21st century.

Co-presented by Northern Clay Center.
