EXHIBITION PREVIEW

FRIDAY, APRIL 28

9:30–11:30am Museum Fellows, Members, and Special Guests

From her early self-portraits in clown makeup, which explore expressions of individuality, stereotypes, and ways of masking identity, to portraits of family members and friends that provide glimpses of intimate life moments, in good times as well as in illness and death, Beverly McIver’s poignant large-scale paintings reveal her personal journey. Born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina, McIver is nationally recognized for her powerful autobiographical portraits and is currently the Ebenshade Professor of the Practice in Studio Arts at Duke University. Beverly McIver: Full Circle presents the career arc and continued ascent of contemporary artist Beverly McIver. This survey show featuring nearly fifty works from the last twenty-five years demonstrates the diversity of the artist’s bold thematic approach to portrait painting.

Beverly McIver: Full Circle is organized by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and curated by Kim Boganey, Arts and Culture Manager, Museum of History and Art, Ontario, California. Generously supported by Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management; with additional exhibition support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and Craven Allen Gallery.

Free | Registration Required

SATURDAY, AUGUST 5

10:30AM–12PM

Inspired by the Gibbes permanent collection we will discuss The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair.

David Drake is recognized as one of the most accomplished nineteenth-century potters in the United States. Even though his pots—many inscribed with original verse—sit in museums across the nation, he is too often passed over when considering the early foundations of African American poetry. Join us for a conversation about the recent publication Praise Songs for Dave the Potter with editor and historian P. Gabrielle Foreman, artist Jonathan Green, and poet Glenis Redmond as they discuss how Drake’s pottery and poetry have inspired contemporary artists who claim him as an artistic ancestor.

VISITING ARTISTS

ROBIN HOWARD

APRIL 24 – JUNE 11

RANSOME

MAY 1 – JUNE 11

STUDIO TWO

Ransome incorporates a variety of symbols, patterns, and marks to create rhythmic properties. These gestures find a nities in hip-hop music’s experimental samplings and rural quilters, who use what is at hand to assemble, collage, and create.
