With one exception, a public sculpture, the works featured are housed in the college archives. </p> <p>The chapters in the exhibit include Architecture in Visual Works, Drawings and Prints, Paintings, Photographic Objects, Sculpture, and Textiles. Many of the works had never been presented in an exhibit before; three were recent accessions. One example of a recent gift is an embroidered Chinese robe received in January 2020. It is emblematic of the College’s long and continuing history of involvement in Asia. It was a gift from H. H. Kung to the executive secretary of the 91ֱ�� Shansi Memorial Association (OSMA) in the 1950s. Kung received his early education from 91ֱ�� missionaries in Shanxi Province, China, just prior to the Boxer Rebellion. He came to 91ֱ�� for his bachelor’s, and went to Yale for a master's in economics. After 20 years as principal of the 91ֱ�� schools in Shanxi, he served in the highest positions of government and finance in China from 1928 to 1939, continuing his close relationship with OSMA in China and at 91ֱ��. </p> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption>A women's embroidered silk robe given to Margaret Leonard, executive secretary of the 91ֱ�� Shansi Memorial Association, by Hsiang-hsi Kung (1881-1967), an 91ֱ�� graduate who went on to hold top administrative positions in the government of the Republic of China. <br> Photo credit: Courtesy of 91ֱ�� College Archives</figcaption> </figure> <p>Another notable work with international significance in the textiles section of the exhibit is a gift from the Emir Faisal of the Arab Kingdom of Syria to 91ֱ��’s president, Henry Churchill King. Woodrow Wilson had appointed King as a co-leader of the King-Crane Commission in the Middle and Near East just after World War I. The Commission was charged with gathering petitions for self-governance from the peoples of the former Ottoman Empire to present at the Paris Peace Conference. The two garments, given by a daughter of Henry Churchill King, 91ֱ��’s president, were worn at a feast given for the Commission by Prince Faisal at his home outside Damascus. These fragile garments cannot be exhibited in an open library space, given the lack of adequate security and the special exhibit furniture and lighting they would require. This is a case in which the Archives holds unique materials that can only be exhibited in a museum setting, or online. The garments and many other works in the virtual exhibit were treated by the Intermuseum Conservation Association in Cleveland between 2008 and 2020 with endowed funds. </p> <p>With this new virtual exhibit we hope to engage college and other visitors in exploring artworks with significant back stories that inform 91ֱ��’s history. When the campus is fully open again, we can draw on the virtual exhibition to develop physical installations, with iPads for visitors to access <a href="https://libraries.oberlin.edu/archives/exhibitions/art-in-the-archives-of-oberlin-college"><em>Art in the Archives of 91ֱ�� College</em></a>. </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-02-01T12:00:00Z">Mon, 02/01/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Anne Salsich, associate archivist, 91ֱ�� College Archives</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>When 91ֱ�� College moved to remote learning in March of 2020 in response to COVID-19, the 91ֱ�� College Archives staff was required to identify and work on projects for remote work on short notice.

The museum hosts public programming throughout the year, including Tuesday Teas and Art Breaks programming, and professors use class visits to incorporate artwork into their course material. So what happens when the museum is temporarily closed due to a global health crisis? Befitting an art museum, the staff gets creative.</p> <p>From producing videos of curator talks, to sharing artwork on social media, staff at the AMAM are making their collections available to the public in ways beyond those methods used before the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> <p>“Our intention is to make the museum accessible during the closure,” says Eric & Jane Nord Family Curator of Education Jill Greenwood. </p> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption><em>MacArthur Nurses (Pushing)</em>, 2013, Jenifer K Wofford (American, b. 1971) Acrylic on canvas. Art Object Sales Fund, 2017.1</figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Sharing Art Through Social Media</strong></p> <p>The museum is largely focused on sharing its collection through its social media channels, with an emphasis on works connected to the theme of “health and healing through art.” The topic is particularly relevant right now during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it seems to resonate strongly. An image of nurses shared recently, paired with commentary about the work they’re doing and the lack of supplies, has garnered the most engagement of any previous post on the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/allenartmuseum/?hl=en">museum’s Instagram account</a> <span aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-external-link"></span>.</p> <p>“We’re sharing with our visitors as much as we can through social media,” says Walker Shadle, curatorial assistant in the museum’s education department. “Sometimes it will be on the theme of health and healing, and other times it may feature curators talking about various works.”</p> <p>According to Shadle, another social media trend the staff has embraced is the #museumfromhome hashtag. Museums across the country are using the hashtag to create a searchable repository of posts from any institution that uses it. When someone searches on a social media site using that hashtag, they will be greeted with artworks from myriad museums. </p> <p><strong>Gallery Talks Become Video Talks</strong></p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>Alexandra Letvin will lead a gallery talk on the work <em>St. Sebastian Tended by Irene</em>, 1625 Hendrick ter Brugghen (Dutch, ca. 1588–1629) Oil on canvas R. T. Miller Jr. Fund, 1953.256</figcaption> </figure> <p>When it comes to the museum’s public programming, what would normally take place as an in-person gallery talk led by a curator has taken on a different format. Curators instead talk about art through videos they’ve produced, and those videos are shared on the museum’s social media accounts. This allows the museum to extend the program’s reach from what might have been 20 people in person at the museum, to anyone who visits the AMAM’s social media. </p> <p>This spring, Alexandra Letvin, assistant curator of European and American art, will lead a talk focused on health and healing, using works in the museum’s collection featuring St. Sebastian, who is identified as the patron saint of plague victims. </p> <p>Those who follow the museum’s social media will also have the opportunity to see pieces from current exhibitions that are not on view due to the closure, including pieces in <a href="https://amam.oberlin.edu/exhibitions-events/exhibitions/2019/08/20/afterlives-of-the-black-atlantic"><em>Afterlives of the Black Atlantic</em></a> <span aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-external-link"></span>. A video discussion, led by Matthew Francis Rarey, assistant professor of the arts of Africa and the black Atlantic, is planned for later this semester.</p> <figure class="captioned-image obj-right"> <figcaption>A work by José Rodríguez, “\ ’sə-kər \,” 2019 from the exhibition <em>Afterlives of the Black Atlantic.</em></figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Connecting to Artwork in a Virtual Classroom</strong></p> <p>Typically, Hannah Wirta Kinney, assistant curator of academic programs, works with faculty to connect them with artwork at the museum. Often, classes come to the AMAM to look at works in person. With students, faculty, and staff working and taking classes remotely, that method was no longer viable, and Kinney had to devise an alternate plan. </p> <p>“My job is all about creating situations in which students and faculty are engaging with art in the original form,” says Kinney. “We often say, the digital image can’t replace the original—come to the museum. So figuring out how to keep the importance of objects while being able to support faculty has been an interesting challenge.”</p> <p>What has stayed the same for Kinney is the model she uses to work with faculty, but the method of presentation has changed. Now, Kinney creates digital presentations of the artwork to lead classes in a Zoom meeting. </p> <p>One of the surprising things Kinney has found is that there are benefits to presenting artwork digitally. Says Kinney, “We can look closely at a detail in a piece of artwork in a way that’s not possible in the gallery. There are also administrative rules that limit the number of works we can bring into the print study room, but that constraint has been removed. Finally, when you’re in the museum with a class, you have to think about time and how long it takes to move through spaces, but digitally, space is collapsed, so you have more time with the artwork.”</p> <p><strong>Looking Toward the Future</strong></p> <p>While the staff admits that they miss being in the museum and talking about the works of art in person, they have managed to find the opportunities among the challenges of the situation. “We have been looking for the bright moments,” says Kinney. “Changing what we’re doing, in small ways, can really help us rethink things... and maybe help us do our work better in the future.” </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2020-04-03T12:00:00Z">Fri, 04/03/2020 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Hillary Hempstead</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>During the temporary closure of the museum, staff have embraced the challenge of moving education online.

Watson is one of six finalists in the nation’s first intercollegiate online arts competition.</p> <p>Seniors from member colleges and universities “who have an exceptional portfolio and artistic drive” are nominated by their department chairs or deans before one round of AICUO judging that determines the finalists. The Grand Award and People’s Choice Award are announced later this year at the annual AICUO award reception, which includes a student panel, an art exhibition featuring finalists’ work, and an award ceremony.</p> <p>“This project could stand as a conglomeration of all the end goals I have had in making art at 91ֱ��,” Watson says. “While I do not believe that any of my past pieces have specifically dealt with the same subject matter as these pieces, their overall positioning as timestamps of moments and memories that seem monumental at time, but often fade in the face of new moments, is a unifying force between them that I can say has drastically improved in its execution.”</p> <p>Watson says his favorite piece from Losing is one entitled “Melanin,” which complements the project’s visual scheme of skin, race, and identity. The two-part piece features up-close photographs of skin, with each of the two photos overlaid with text — the first one reading “Melanin” and the second displaying a short poem. “I enjoy that the piece reflects a growth to a place of understanding that I was sorely lacking when I first arrived at 91ֱ��,” Watson added.</p> <p>Each contestant is judged anonymously by the AICUO and without knowledge of educational affiliation, a process that Professor of Art, Installation, Sculpture and Book Arts Nanette Yannuzzi-Macias says speaks to Watson’s skill and vision.</p> <p>“Working with Nyquon has always been a pleasure,” says Yannuzzi-Macias. “He works incredibly hard and is always pushing the material and conceptual boundaries of his artwork. Winning the AICUO award is a testament to the strength of Nyquon's work beyond the acknowledgment of our studio art faculty, who know quite well how talented he is.”</p> <p>Watson will receive his award on April 5, 2018 at Columbus College of Art and Design in the Acock Gallery, and his portfolio will permanently remain on the AICUO website for viewing purposes.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2018-02-22T12:00:00Z">Thu, 02/22/2018 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tyler Sloan '17</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p dir="ltr">Nyquon Watson ’18 is one of six artists who will compete for the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities’ Grand Award for excellence in the visual arts this spring.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2373">Awards and Honors</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2578">Art Exhibition</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2379">Student Life</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2570">Video</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25436">Studio Art</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/art" hreflang="und">Studio Art</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Nyquon Watson's piece "Melanin."</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Courtesy of Nyquon Watson</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Traveling Exhibit Examines 91ֱ��’s Social Justice Legacy in World War II</h1> <p>tsloan — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 19:30:48 +0000</p> <span>Traveling Exhibit Examines 91ֱ��’s Social Justice Legacy in World War II</span> <span><span>tsloan</span></span> <span><time datetime="2018-02-02T14:30:48-05:00" title="Friday, February 2, 2018 - 14:30">Fri, 02/02/2018 - 14:30</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p dir="ltr">91ֱ��’s history of embodying leadership and empathy in times of political and social turmoil makes the title of the upcoming traveling exhibit, <em><a href="/events/special-events/courage-and-compassion?utm_source=go.oberlin.edu&utm_campaign=Special%20Events&utm_medium=Multiple%20Media&utm_content=Courage-and-Compassion">Courage and Compassion</a></em>, especially fitting. The show, which explores the lived experiences of Japanese Americans during World War II — including Pearl Harbor, removal and incarceration, life in internment camps, and Japanese American veterans’ post-war struggle for redress — opens Saturday, February 17 in the Richard D. Baron ’64 Art Gallery.</p> <p>The interactive exhibit has been touring since July 2017 and will eventually be displayed in 10 cities. Each pit stop was selected for the specific role it played in supporting Japanese people during the 1940s. Planned by the Go for Broke Foundation, organizers asked 91ֱ�� to participate because of the <a href="http://www2.oberlin.edu/alummag/fall2013/internmentstudents.html">school’s decision</a> to recruit and admit nearly 40 Japanese American students during the war, and for <em>Nisei</em> (second-generation Japanese American) students’ activism. The local iteration of <em>Courage and Compassion</em> features permanent fixtures from the national show interlaced with pieces of 91ֱ��-centric history.</p> <p>“This exhibit reminds us of a history that is extraordinarily relevant today,” says Renee Romano, the Robert. S. Danforth professor of history at 91ֱ�� College and project co-director. “It offers us stories of local people who rejected wartime hysteria about Japanese Americans and who insisted that the United States live up to its democratic ideals. Today, as the nation again debates issues of immigration, citizenship, and belonging, it is vital that we grapple with America’s checkered history of exclusion.”</p> <p>Romano is spearheading the project with Julie Min, an 91ֱ�� resident and former exhibit developer who previously worked on public history projects about Japanese American internment. The two have arranged for an <a href="/events/special-events/courage-and-compassion/programming-schedule">event series</a> consisting of academic lectures, documentary film screenings, a performance by San Jose Taiko, and talks by internment survivors, including Alice Takemoto ’47, to accompany the show. Alumni from the Network of 91ֱ�� Asian Alumni are also gathering to visit the exhibit on March 10.</p> <p>“We thought about 91ֱ��’s particular history, both in its activism and its engagement with political issues of the day, but also its history of offering sanctuary to people who are vulnerable,” Romano says of how she and Min approached the exhibit. “It’s not like everyone at the time agreed or that these students came here and didn’t face any issues, but they did find that most people at both the college and in the town supported them, which is what makes this place very powerful. People stand up for each other in very interesting ways.”</p> <p>Romano has prioritized making the exhibit accessible not just to the college community, but to local schools. All of 91ֱ��’s eighth graders will take field trips to the exhibit, and thanks to careful coordination and grant funding, each of the 18 fifth-grade classes from Lorain County will visit as well. Since there are so many classes coming from Lorain, these students will split into smaller groups upon arrival with one class spending an hour at Courage and Compassion and the other going to the Allen Memorial Art Museum, then vice versa. Afterward, the classes will congregate for lunch at <a href="/studioc">StudiOC</a>, where they will buddy up with 91ֱ�� students to learn more about college life.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It's been a point for us to make the field trip engaging,” says Ava Prince ’18, the exhibit’s field trip coordinator. “We’re doing an activity where students have to ‘pack a bag’ according to the restrictions placed on incarcerated Japanese Americans — no pets, no cameras, and so on. With the 91ֱ�� students, I think it will be especially interesting to see our community portion of the exhibit, and for them to have a geographic connection to the past and take pride in their community.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The first event associated with Courage and Compassion will take place Monday, February 12, when professors from the classics, comparative American studies, history, and Africana studies departments host the panel, “What is Sanctuary? From International Historical Concept to 91ֱ��’s Present.” Transforming the project’s lofty vision into a reality also required dedicated assistance from student researchers, faculty members from several academic departments, the deans offices, the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, the 91ֱ�� College Library, the Office of Communications, 91ֱ�� College Taiko, the 91ֱ�� Heritage Center, and 91ֱ�� Shansi.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2018-02-02T12:00:00Z">Fri, 02/02/2018 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tyler Sloan '17</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><em>Courage and Compassion: Our Shared Story of the Japanese American World War II Experience</em> explores 91ֱ��’s role in providing sanctuary for Japanese American students during a tumultuous period of United States history.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2575">Activism</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2578">Art Exhibition</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2354">Campus Life</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2398">Community Education</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2366">Guest Artists & Speakers</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25381">History</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25336">East Asian Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/history" hreflang="und">History</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/east-asian-studies" hreflang="und">East Asian Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/comparative-american-studies" hreflang="und">Comparative American Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Kenji Okuda (back row, second from left), a University of Washington student who arrived here from an incarceration camp, was elected student body president of 91ֱ�� in 1943.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Courtesy of 91ֱ�� College Archives</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> </main></body></html>
