THE PAIRING WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ACTIVITY TO NAME OR LABEL THE PAIR WITH MAGNETIC WORDS AND WILL BE GOOD MATERIAL FOR SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH. THIS SMALL CHANGE IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTION WILL BE AN INNOVATIVE AND SIMPLE WAY OF LOOKING AT OUR COLLECTION IN A NEW LIGHT. THE PAIRING WILL BRING INTO QUESTION THE INDIVIDUAL WORKS THEMSELVES, THE PARTICULAR PAIRING AND THE NATURE OF MUSEUMS, CURATION AND THE VISITOR'S ROLE IN THIS PROCESS. THE SIMPLE ACT OF AN UNUSUAL PAIRING WILL SPARK DIALOGUE BETWEEN VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM MAKING THEIR VISIT INTERACTIVE IN A NEW WAY. GEORGE CATLIN'S AMERICAN BUFFALO, ORGANIZED BY THE SMITHSONIAN AMERICAN ART MUSEUM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART GILCREASE AND CHANGING VISIONS GALLERIES, MAY 10 - AUGUST 25, 2013 OPENING PARTY: MIX'D MEDIA, MAY 9 GEORGE CATLIN WAS AMONG THE EARLIEST ARTISTS OF EUROPEAN DESCENT TO CHRONICLE THE MASSIVE HERDS OF BUFFALO ROAMING THE GREAT PLAINS OF THE AMERICAN WEST. IN MANY WORKS, CATLIN PORTRAYED HOW TRULY IMBEDDED THE GREAT MAMMAL WAS IN THE DAILY LIVES OF AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES. HIS BRILLIANT CANVASES SHOW HOW THE BUFFALO WAS USED IN MULTIPLE FACETS OF DAILY LIFE, FROM FOOD AND SHELTER TO CEREMONY AND NAMING. CATLIN NOTED THAT WITHOUT SOME GREATER MEASURE OF RESTRAINT ON THE PART OF ADVANCING SETTLERS, THE BUFFALO WOULD SOON BE ERADICATED FROM THE PLAINS. HE CALLED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A "NATION'S PARK" SET ASIDE FROM DEVELOPMENT AS A REFUGE FOR BOTH BUFFALO AND NATIVE TRIBES. HIS VISION CAME TRUE, IN PART, IN 1872 WITH THE FOUNDATION OF YELLOWSTONE, THE WORLD'S FIRST NATIONAL PARK. GEORGE CATLIN'S AMERICAN BUFFALO PRESENTS 40 ORIGINAL CATLIN PAINTINGS ACCOMPANIED BY INFORMATIVE LABEL COPY EXPLORING HIS REPRESENTATION OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN/BUFFALO RELATIONSHIP. CATLIN'S ROLE AS AN EARLY PROPONENT OF WILDERNESS CONSERVATION AND NATIONAL PARKS WILL ALSO BE EXAMINED. AMAZING ANIMALS: JOHN JAMES AUDUBON TO ANDY WARHOL BISON GALLERY, MAY 10 AUGUST 18, 2013 SOME OF THE EARLIEST AND MOST IMPACTFUL RENDERINGS OF AMERICAN WILDLIFE CAME IN BEAUTIFUL PRINT PORTFOLIOS PRODUCED BY GREAT ARTISTS SUCH AS JOHN JAMES AUDUBON AND GEORGE CATLIN. THESE BEAUTIFUL HAND-COLORED ENGRAVINGS DISPLAYED THE BEAUTY AND BOUNTY OF THE AMERICAN WILDERNESS TO AUDIENCES IN THE EAST AND ABROAD IN AN ERA BEFORE THE CAMERA. LATER ARTISTS SUCH AS ANDY WARHOL AND WALTON FORD TOOK UP ANIMAL SUBJECTS AND CREATED THEIR OWN AMAZING PORTFOLIOS OF AMERICAN WILDLIFE. IN WARHOL'S CASE, HE CELEBRITIZED ANIMALS ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR THEIR PROTECTION. FOR FORD, THE HISTORY OF DEPICTING WILDLIFE IS AS MUCH AN INSPIRATION AS THE ANIMALS THEMSELVES. FORD DRAWS UPON AUDUBON AND CATLIN IN PARTICULAR IN HIS VIBRANT PRINTS THAT ASK POINTED QUESTIONS ABOUT HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO WILDLIFE. ANCIENT TRADITIONS: THE WHETZEL COLLECTION OF PUEBLO AND PRE-PUEBLO POTTERY KUHN GALLERY, MAY 18 OCTOBER 6, 2013 THIS EXHIBITION PROUDLY DISPLAYS A COLLECTION OF PUEBLO AND PRE-PUEBLO POTTERY RECENTLY DONATED BY MR. AND MRS. JOSHUA C. WHETZEL, JR. THE EXHIBIT SHOWCASES THE VARIOUS AESTHETIC AND SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATIONAL MODES EMPLOYED IN PUEBLO AND ANCESTRAL PUEBLO CERAMICS. WHILE FOCUSING ON ANIMAL REPRESENTATIONS, THE EXHIBIT WILL ALSO FEATURE REPRESENTATIONS OF NATURAL PHENOMENA AND THE ENVIRONMENT THAT ARE PRESENT, IN VARYING LEVELS OF ABSTRACTION, ON MANY OF THESE OBJECTS. THIS EXHIBITION BRINGS TO THE FOREFRONT A CULTURAL GROUP THAT HAS BEEN LARGELY ABSENT FROM THE ART HISTORICAL CANON AND WILL HELP VISITORS SEE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN POTS MADE OVER 1000 YEARS AGO WITH THOSE MADE IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES. THE LOST BIRD PROJECT SCULPTURE TRAIL AMPHITHEATER, JUNE 14 NOVEMBER 10, 2013 THE LOST BIRD PROJECT RECOGNIZES THE TRAGEDY OF MODERN EXTINCTION BY IMMORTALIZING NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN TO EXTINCTION. TO DATE, BRONZE MEMORIALS FOR THE PASSENGER PIGEON, THE CAROLINA PARAKEET, THE LABRADOR DUCK, THE GREAT AUK, AND THE HEATH HEN HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN LOCATIONS DIRECTLY RELATED TO EACH BIRD'S DECLINE. THE SCULPTURES ARE SUBTLE, HOPEFUL REMINDERS OF SPECIES NOW LOST. A SUBSEQUENT COLLECTION OF THE FIVE SCULPTURES HAS MADE ITS WAY TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND THE UNITED STATES. AS A GROUP, THEY ARE MELANCHOLY, YET AFFIRMING. THEY COMPEL US TO RECOGNIZE THE FINALITY OF OUR LOSS, THEY ASK US NOT TO FORGET, AND THEY REMIND US TO GUARD AGAINST FURTHER EXTINCTION. INSTALLED IN THE MUSEUM'S NEW AMPHITHEATER ON THE SCULPTURE TRAIL, THESE AVIAN SCULPTURES WILL HAVE A POWERFUL IMPACT, WHERE CONNECTIONS CAN BE MADE TO OTHER THREATENED SPECIES IN NEED OF HELP.

DARWIN'S LEGACY: THE EVOLUTION OF WILDLIFE ART GILCREASE AND CHANGING VISIONS, OCTOBER 12, 2013 MAY 4, 2014 DARWIN'S LEGACY: THE EVOLUTION OF WILDLIFE ART EXAMINES THE INTERCHANGES BETWEEN SCIENCE AND ART. IN THE FIELD OF WILDLIFE ART, THESE CONNECTIONS RUN PARTICULARLY DEEP. CHARLES DARWIN'S GROUNDBREAKING WORK ON THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIES SPURRED SUBSEQUENT GENERATIONS OF ARTISTS TO CLOSELY EXAMINE THE NATURAL WORLD AROUND THEM. HOW AN ANIMAL FUNCTIONED WITHIN AND ADAPTED TO ITS ENVIRONMENT BECAME AS IMPORTANT AS AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF HOW IT LOOKED. BEGINNING WITH JOSEPH WOLF AND CONTINUING WITH BRUNO LILJEFORS, EUROPEAN ARTISTS WERE KEEN OBSERVERS AND RECORDERS OF A WIDE RANGE OF SPECIES. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SCIENTISTS AND ARTISTS HAVE CONTINUED TO THIS DAY. THIS EXHIBIT WILL EXAMINE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SCIENCE AND ART FROM THE 1800S TO TODAY, ENDING WITH CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLES BY ARTISTS SUCH AS LARS JONSSON, BART WALTER, AND LANEY. COLLECTORS CIRCLE XV KUHN GALLERY, OCTOBER 19, 2013 JUNE 1, 2014 THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF COLLECTORS CIRCLE IS AN OCCASION TO CELEBRATE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PAST AND BUILD ENTHUSIASM FOR THE FUTURE. FOUNDED IN 1998, MEMBERS OF COLLECTORS CIRCLE HAVE MET REGULARLY OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS TO HELP THE MUSEUM ACQUIRE WORKS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY FOR THE PERMANENT COLLECTION. TO DATE, COLLECTORS CIRCLE HAS CONTRIBUTED OVER 75 WORKS OF ART, MANY OF WHICH ARE DISPLAYED IN THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION GALLERIES, OTHERS ARE REGULARLY ON VIEW IN CHANGING EXHIBITIONS. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE WORK BY ALBRECHT DURER, TITIAN RAMSAY PEALE, FRANK BENSON, AND ANNA HYATT HUNTINGTON. WONDER CABINET: A COLLECTION OF CURIOSITIES MEMBERS GALLERY, NOVEMBER 15, 2013 APRIL 13, 2014 WONDER CABINET WILL BE A NEW TAKE ON THE TRADITIONAL CABINET OF CURIOSITIES, ALSO CALLED A CABINET OF WONDER, OR WUNDERKAMMER. THESE PERSONAL COLLECTIONS OF OBJECTS HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING IN THE RENAISSANCE. THE CABINET WAS A REFLECTION OF THE PERSON COLLECTING, CATALOGUING, AND ARRANGING. IT WAS A SOURCE OF CONTEMPLATION AND MARVEL. THE COLLECTIONS INCLUDED WHAT WE WOULD NOW CLASSIFY AS OBJECTS OF NATURAL HISTORY, ART OBJECTS, ANTHROPOLOGICAL SPECIMENS, MIXED IN WITH OTHER OBJECTS OF QUESTIONABLE VERACITY AND ODDITIES. THESE COLLECTIONS WERE PRECURSORS TO THE MODERN MUSEUM. THE COLLECTION WAS A WAY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TO DISPLAY HIS WEALTH AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF A "COMMUNITY" FOCUSED EXHIBIT CURATED BY BRONWYN MINTON, ASSISTANT CURATOR OF ART. WONDER CABINET WILL INCLUDE OBJECTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION, ITEMS ON LOAN FROM SELECT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND ART COMMISSIONED FOR THE EXHIBIT. WONDER CABINET WILL ELICIT A NEW SENSE OF AMAZEMENT AND AWE FOR THE NATURAL WORD. MIX'D MEDIA NOVEMBER 14, 2013 CONSERVATION GALLERY BISON GALLERY, NOVEMBER 16, 2013 APRIL 13, 2014 EXPANDING ON THE LONG-LIVED BISON GALLERY INSTALLATION, THIS EXHIBIT WILL EXPLORE A VARIETY OF CONSERVATION STORIES. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, AMERICA HAS PRIDED ITSELF ON ITS VAST LAND AND RESOURCES, THE AESTHETIC BEAUTY OF ITS MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS, AND THE FREEDOM ASSOCIATED WITH ITS EXPANSIVENESS. IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO CREATE A MOVEMENT TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE LAND AND WILDLIFE THAT CREATED THE COUNTRY'S IDENTITY. CONSERVATION PIONEERS INCLUDING THEODORE ROOSEVELT, ALDO LEOPOLD, JOHN JAMES AUDUBON, JOHN MUIR, AND OTHERS STARTED A MOVEMENT THAT WOULD DETERMINE FUTURE GENERATION'S EXPERIENCE WITH WILDLIFE AND NATURAL RESOURCES FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES. AMERICAN WILDLIFE ARTISTS HAVE HELPED TO CAPTURE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE RESULTS OF CONSERVATION THROUGH DEPICTING WILDLIFE STILL FOUND TODAY, AS WELL AS THOSE THAT ARE SIMPLY A MEMORY. IN SOME INSTANCES, PAINTINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS ARE THE ONLY RECORD OF CERTAIN SPECIES THAT WE HAVE TODAY. ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE IN THE PAST FEW CENTURIES, THERE IS STILL MUCH TO BE DONE. THIS INSTALLATION EXPLORES OUR CONSERVATION STORY USING SPECIFIC ANECDOTES ABOUT ANIMALS INCLUDING RANGING FROM THE PASSENGER PIGEON TO THE PRONGHORN ANTELOPE. BRANCHING OUT FROM THE FAUNA OF NORTH AMERICA, THIS INSTALLATION FEATURES CONSERVATION STORIES FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE. ELEGY: THE AFRICAN PHOTOGRAPHY OF NICK BRANDT KING GALLERY, JANUARY 18 APRIL 20, 2014 "NICK'S EXQUISITE PHOTOGRAPHS AROUSE DEEP EMOTIONS. THEY INSPIRE A SENSE OF AWE AT THE BEAUTY OF CREATION AND THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK THROUGH HIS WORK WITHOUT SENSING THE PERSONALITIES OF THE BEINGS WHOM HE HAS PHOTOGRAPHED." -JANE GOODALL NICK BRANDT'S TRANSCENDENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF AFRICAN ANIMALS AMAZE THE SENSES AS THEY INSPIRE APPRECIATION FOR THEIR SUBJECTS AND FOR THE ARTIST BEHIND THE CAMERA. BRANDT IS KNOWN FOR NOT USING TELEPHOTO LENSES, SO THAT THE VIEWER CAN SEE AS MUCH OF THE SKY AND LANDSCAPE AS POSSIBLE, SEEING THE ANIMALS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THAT WAY, THE PHOTOS BECOME AS MUCH ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE PLACE AS THE ANIMALS. AND BEING THAT CLOSE, THE VIEWER GETS A REAL SENSE OF INTIMATE CONNECTION TO THE SPECIFIC ANIMAL.
