This summer, the New Orleans Museum of Art will present The Baroque World of Fernando Botero, the first major U.S retrospective of the artist's work in more than 30 years. Recognized as one of the most well-known and commercially successful artists to emerge from Latin America, the Colombia native now has his work exhibited and collected by major museums around the world, including the New Orleans Museum of Art. The 100 paintings, drawings, and sculptures in this exhibition span the length of Botero's career-from paintings executed in 1959 in Colombia, to sculptures executed as late as 2005. The works were selected by John Sillevis, curator of the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, and editor and contributor to the accompanying exhibition catalogue. The exhibition is organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by John Sillevis, guest curator; David Elliot, Director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo; and Edward Sullivan, Dean of Humanities and Professor of Latin American Art at New York University.

Gallery Bienvenu Presents New Paintings featuring Jim Napierala and Arturo Mallman
August 2, 2008 - September 26, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
http://www.gallerybienvenu.com
Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525 - 0518
Mesmerizing and complex, the process-intensive paintings of New York City-based artist Jim Napierala superimpose the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism atop the rigor of the modernist grid. The paintings are the end result of a working method developed by the artist in 2000 and constantly evolved and adjusted since that time. Methodically taping off sections of a maple plywood panel, Napierala slices into the tape with a blade, creating curvaceous, biomorphic forms with a spontaneity reminiscent of Dadaist automatic drawing. Arturo Mallmann’s luminous paintings follow in this tradition, inviting us into landscapes that are half-geographic, half-psychological, and wholly immersive. Born in Uruguay, Mallmann has led a richly colorful life, residing and traveling throughout South America, Europe, and North America, and within these far-flung adventures lie the aesthetic and experiential influences that inform his haunting work. With acrylics, resin, and varnish, the artist layers and sands coat after coat of materials in a process that, like nature itself, is by turns additive and substractive. His austere compositions are often coalesce around the eternal motif of the horizon line, harkening to our primal human capacity for awe.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Chin and Shearer Short Films about 9/11 and Last Things
August 27, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 7:00 pm
Location: New Orleans Museum of Art, One Collins Diboll Circle, City Park
Phone: (504) 488-2631
A pair of thoughtful short films made in the wake of disaster, 9-11/9-11 by Mel Chin and Last Things by Ivor Shearer, will be screened at the New Orleans Museum of Art, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers. The program, scheduled to closely coincide with the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding of New Orleans, will be free to Louisiana residents. In this animated film, 9-11/9-11, Mel Chin creates a tale of two cities, a tragedy of two times, weaving a story of love and hope wrecked by overt and covert manipulations of power and the impact of these collective traumas. September 11, 2001-New York City. September 11, 1973-Santiago. The terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York scarred the trust of the American people; while the Chilean military overthrow of President Salvador Allende, which occurred on the same day 28 years prior, ushered in 17 years of autocratic rule that left countless victims of torture and more than 3,000 dead. Last Things is a fictional experimental art film exploring the uncertainty of the future of New Orleans. Inspired by Paul Auster's 1987 novel, In The Country of Last Things, and set in the future, the film portrays a surreal, dystopic world in which the federal government has closed New Orleans off from the rest of the country. An absurd and illogical world is created by those unwilling to leave. The film follows the activities of various characters as they navigate through a lawless world dominated by garbage and dependent on the recycling of found materials. Although the principle characters act as a guide to lead the viewer through this world, identification with these characters is kept at a minimum in an attempt to provoke critical thought and avoid escapism.

The New Orleans Museum of Art will present Coping with Katrina: Artwork from the Hyogo-NOMA Children's Art Therapy Initiative, an exhibition of artworks by children who lived through the 2005 hurricane and subsequent flooding. All of the pieces were produced by participants in the Hyogo-NOMA Children's Art Therapy Initiative, which has offered art therapy sessions at schools throughout the New Orleans area and at free day camps at the Museum. "The works express sincere emotions about the children's experiences with Hurricane Katrina," said Holly Wherry, the professional art therapist who has been on staff at NOMA since 2007 and who coordinated the sessions that led to this exhibition. "You see how they are coping three years after the storm, and you see their immense pride in New Orleans. All of the participating children have given permission for their art to be exhibited publicly in order to communicate their experiences and educate the public about art therapy.

Add to Itinerary |
Times: 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm
Location: The Voodoo Mystére Lounge, 718 North Rampart, at Orleans.
Phone: (504) 304-1568
The new Voodoo Mystére Lounge is pleased to announce its first ongoing special event: Punch 'n' Trudy, a Sunday afternoon get-together hosted by Miss TRU deMILLE (a/k/a Eric Martin Webb). Besides the Voodoo's regular bar service, Trudy will offer guests cups of her special punch. (We're changing the recipe from time to time, but expect Apricot Punch, the one with Apricot brandy and champagne, to start.) As if punch with the effervescent Trudy isn't special enough, she's joined each week by two extra-special friends of hers, there to help guests while away a lazy Sunday... Expert Tarot reader JENNIFER and saloon singer HELEN DAY. Between the three of them, Voodoo guests can savor the past (accompanying herself, Helen specializes in the great show tunes), the present (Trudy knows everybody), and the future (Jennifer prides herself on readings that are straightforward and low BS).
