Diverging Streams: Eastern Nigerian Art
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.
Black Box: Sharon Hayes
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.
Front Room: Sara VanDerBeek
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.
On Paper: Spin, Crinkle, Pluck
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.

JEWELS: Journaling to Emerge Wholly Empowered to Love Self is a visual journaling program aimed at youth (ages 10 through 18) in Baltimore's disadvantaged neighborhoods to provide them with an outlet to express themselves and their concerns THEIR way, but also constructively. It teaches the healing power of both visual art and the written word, and shows them how to use both to express their feelings and be heard.
