Brett Zongker (Associated Press), Recent News, artdaily.org, 24 April 2012

Art Gallery of Ontario counts on Picasso mania

Martin Knelman, The Toronto Star, 24 April 2012

 

TORONTO, ON - " "Give me a museum and I’ll fill it," Pablo Picasso once said. That was no idle boast, and the current world tour of "Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso" in Paris has been demonstrating the point in cities as unlikely as Richmond, Va., and Seattle, where it drew 230,000 and more than 400,000 visitors respectively. You can bet the leadership team at the Art Gallery of Ontario is hoping the Spanish-born giant of 20th-century art will work his crowd-pleasing magic at the Grange, where this large and spectacular exhibition opens a four-month run officially on Tuesday."

Tate Modern unveils underground space – the Tanks – devoted to live art

Gallery says two former oil tanks will be filled with performances and debates, starting this summer

Mark Brown, The Guardian, 23 April 2012

 

LONDON, ENGLAND - "Dropping in to Tate Modern's new underground oil tank spaces this summer might mean seeing a performance of minimalist dance, taking part in a debate on what it is to be an immigrant or experiencing work by an artist who most recently filmed naked men playing five-a-side football. The gallery has revealed details of the Tanks, described as the world's first museum space dedicated permanently to live art, installation and performance. They will open on 18 July, 10 days before the Olympics, and be filled this summer and autumn with a 15-week festival of art."

 

Luminato’s Weisbrodt blends artists to create new works

Martin Knelman, Toronto Star, 23 April 2012

 

TORONTO, ON – "Since settling into an Annex duplex, [Luminato’s artistic director, Jorn Weisbrodt] has spent much of his time playing "Getting to Know You" with Canadian artists and cultural leaders. "I’ve talked to a lot of people, and, so far, everyone has been open and enthusiastic about working together," he says. Indeed, despite some past friction with Luminato, the Toronto arts world seems to be embracing him. No wonder. At 39, Weisbrodt, who grew up in Hamburg, is warm, unpretentious, flexible and amazingly fluent in English. "Jorn distinguished himself among a group of highly qualified artistic directors," recalls Daniel Weinzweig, managing director of Searchlight Recruitment, which specializes in finding the best candidates for top jobs in the culture world."

Museum aims to help popular science fully evolve in the Philippines

Dean Irvine, CNN, 26 April 2012

 

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - "Maria Isabel Garcia doesn't get as many angry reactions to her work as she used to. For over ten years she has been one of the Philippines only science writers in a national newspaper, and during that time received her fair share of disparaging comments from readers in the devoutly Catholic country. Yet as the curator of The Mind Museum, the Philippines first modern, purpose-built science museum, her work now is a lot more palpable and potentially contentious than her newspaper column."

Art and Fashion Rub Elbows

Elisabetta Povoledo,The New York Times, 25 April 2012

 

ROME, ITALY - "Fine arts and luxury brands have long crossed paths, creating a blend of culture, merchandising and branding. The most recent Italian example of this cross-cultural association comes via the Paris-based artists Lucy and Jorge Orta, who created an installation for Maxxi, the National Museum of the 21st Century Arts in Rome. The artwork was commissioned by the Italian luxury men’s wear label Ermenegildo Zegna in a win-win-win situation — the brand gets visibility, the artists get to work and the cash-strapped museum gets much-needed private financing."

Joanne Chianello, The Ottawa Citizen, 24 April 2012

Beyond musty artifacts

Museums should be hotbeds for lively debate, says a Carleton professor whose book has been nominated for the Donner Prize

Peter Robb, Ottawa Citizen, 23 April 2012

 

CANADA – "Now 66, the former director of the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology, now a distinguished professor of art history and Canada Research Chair in modern culture at Carleton University, [Ruth] Phillips is experiencing the surprise of her life: Her book Museum Pieces: Towards the Indigenization of Canadian Museums has been nominated for a Donner Prize, the $50,000 annual award that goes to the best Canadian book on public policy. The award will be handed out in Toronto May 1. The surprise for Phillips is that a book about Canadian museums ranks high as a public policy statement. But she is also quietly pleased by the recognition. And by the fact that by this nomination a discussion about the important role museums play in society gets some prominence."

 

George Orwell museum to come up in Bihar

Firstpost, 23 April 2012

Carys Mills, From Monday's Globe and Mail, Published Sunday, Apr. 22, 2012 8:38PM EDT, Last updated Monday, Apr. 23, 2012 12:38PM EDT

 

KINGSTON, ON — "The shuttering of Canada’s oldest prison has opened up the possibility of turning the Kingston institution into a tourist destination comparable to Alcatraz. The federal government announced the cost-saving measure of closing the aging Kingston Penitentiary last week. The shutdown will begin next year and will be complete by 2014-15. [text omitted] Once the fortress closes, it could bring something else to Kingston, if there’s support and funding to ensure it isn’t left dormant. “People have a fascination with the correctional system.… people visit Kingston just to drive by the institutions, so I think there’s a tremendous opportunity there,” said Jeff Garrah, CEO of the Kingston Economic Development Corporation."

Museum of Man retooling itself for the 21st century

James Chute, Union-Tribune San Diego, 22 April 2012

 

SAN DIEGO, CA - "If you grew up in San Diego, you inevitably took a field trip to Balboa Park’s Museum of Man, where among the musty mummies and ancient artifacts you likely saw some 10th century human skulls. "People always remember those skulls with the holes drilled into them," said Seth Mallios, head of the anthropology department at SDSU. There are still bones at the 97-year-old anthropology museum, whose building, with its Spanish-style dome and the California Tower, is a San Diego icon. But with a new exhibit opening Saturday — “Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America” — the museum will also be displaying skateboard decks. And it has built a ramp to accompany the Smithsonian-generated exhibition, which will be on display until early September. The skateboard exhibit is part of the once-troubled, seemingly moribund institution’s efforts to transform itself into a museum for the 21st century. Passive presentations of artifacts are being replaced by interactive, creatively contextualized, multifaceted exhibits that better fit the organization’s new vision.

 

Go West, Young Religion: Mormonism on Exhibit

Edward Rothstein, The New York Times, 22 April 2012

 

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — "The president, according to Mormon doctrine, is literally a seer, a prophet — the president, that is, of the church. Usually American presidents have a somewhat lower reputation. Now that Mitt Romney, an active Mormon, is aspiring to the more mundane office, new attention has come upon the faith that guides him. And much of that attention has been accompanied by controversy, confusion and concern about how Mormonism fits into American society. For a glimpse of how Mormons see themselves, though, it’s worth visiting the Church History Museum of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here. Created by believers, for believers, the museum shows how close to the center of American life Mormons consider themselves to be."

State museums are so antiquated

Monumental state treasure-houses such as the Louvre or the Met ignore the stories of the individual. Exhibitions should become ever more intimate and local

Orhan Pamuk, The Guardian, 20 April 2012

 

ISTANBUL, TURKEY – "I love museums and I am not alone in finding that they make me happier with each passing day. I take museums very seriously, and that sometimes leads me to angry, forceful thoughts. But I do not have it in me to speak about museums with anger. In my childhood, there were very few museums in Istanbul. Most of them were simply preserved historical monuments or – quite rare outside the western world – they were places with an air of the government office about them."

Celebrating Innovation in Museums – Feature Article: Breathing New life into Old Fossils: Exploring the Ancient Seas at the Manitoba Museum

Holli Moncrieff and Dr. Graham Young, Muse (CMA), Vol XXX/2, Issue 3-4, March/April 2012, p30-41

 

WINNIPEG, MB - "Museums have long enjoyed their status as popular places to while away a lazy afternoon, or take a field trip with a classroom of students. However, engaging the interest of the public is more challenging than ever in this age of video games, text messaging, and computers. A key to maintaining the relevance of the museum lies in creating highly interactive, dynamic exhibitions that challenge past perceptions of how we learn. The Ancient Seas exhibition in The Manitoba Museum’s Earth History Gallery, which opened in the spring of 2010, is a prime example of this new type of learning environment. A dramatic animated exhibition that is the first of its kind in Canada, Ancient Seas transports visitors to an ecosystem that existed millions of years ago."
