The new galleries for African art include an area for thematic focus exhibitions. The first exhibition brings together approximately 20 headdresses, masks, and costumes from the eastern Nigerian region of Africa. These works demonstrate the aesthetic relationships between the Igbo, Jukun, Igala, Ogoni, Boki, Idoma, Ibibio, and Ejagham cultures that lived between the Benue and Cross rivers. Many of the works are drawn from an important private collection.
Through her performances, films, and installations, Baltimore-born artist Sharon Hayes (American, born 1970) examines the intersection of history, politics, and speech, with a particular focus on the language of 20th-century protest groups. For this exhibition the BMA is presenting Hayes’ Ricerche: three (2013), a 38-minute video that debuted at the 2013 Venice Biennale and received a special mention from the Golden Lion award committee. The film questions attitudes of 36 students at an all women's college in western Massachusetts on issues of sexual and gender identity.
Baltimore-born artist Sara VanDerBeek is known for capturing fleeting moments in time, framing fragments of urban architecture, revealing abstract qualities of aging structures, and evoking an emotional response to the city’s changing neighborhoods. For her installation at the BMA, VanDerBeek (American, born 1976) photographed young dancers from the Baltimore School for the Arts and juxtaposed those images with others inspired by the BMA's archives and collection, particularly related to the museum’s world-renowned Matisse holdings. These images will also become part of an artist's book.
Charles Willson Peale, his sons, nieces and nephew were artists and naturalists whose portraits, miniatures, still lifes and silhouettes provide an eloquent and detailed chronicle of the most notable people and events of the republic’s early history. In addition to a selection of the family’s Baltimore-related artwork, this focus exhibition explores the origins and continued development of the landmark museum and portrait gallery opened in Baltimore by Rembrandt Peale in 1814, and which now is poised to reopen after restoration as the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture.
This exhibition showcases eight prints and drawings whose images are the result of a specific action or intention rather than a depiction of the action. Essentially, the artists are letting the object or action describe itself. For example, Trisha Brown’s image of a foot spinning is not a rendering of a foot in motion, but actually her foot pirouetting directly on the etching plate.
The ancient metalworking technique of repoussé, the art of raising ornament in relief from the reverse side, has a rich history. In America, repoussé-style silver became associated early on with Baltimore, largely through the influence of the China trade and its introduction of complementary carved and ornamented wares.
