Dear members, friends, and guests,

2019 – 2020 Board of Trustees

We’re looking forward to an exciting new year of art and discovery at GRAM!

With the new year comes growth and reflection. The Grand Rapids Art Museum is excited to present our upcoming exhibitions opening January 25, A New State of Matter: Contemporary Glass and on view concurrently, Looking (at•into•through) Glass. An unusual material, glass is perfectly suited for artists to explore fragility, resiliency, transparency, and transformation. Featuring the work of 19 contemporary artists who are using glass in innovative ways, A New State of Matter allows each artist to tell a different story through their work, exploring broader cultural, political, and spiritual themes. Looking (at•into•through) Glass presents a selection of art and design objects from GRAM’s permanent collection that explores glass as a material one may look at, into, or through. We hope you’ll join us on February 7 for coffee and a guided tour of A New State of Matter with Chief Curator Ron Platt and Michigan artist, Norwood Viviano. The Museum’s permanent collection is continuously growing, and I’m thrilled to introduce our newest acquisition, Basket, by Kelly Church. A fifth-generation basket maker, activist, and member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians in Michigan, Church and her family harvest black ash trees in the swampy areas of rural Michigan, which are then woven into both utilitarian and decorative baskets. Church’s work ranges from traditional wedding baskets to more experimental works, like this basket made from vinyl window blinds. Since the early 2000s, Michigan has lost over 400 million ash trees due to the invasive emerald ash borer, and Church conceived of creating baskets from alternative materials as a way to preserve Native traditions, even when faced with the possibility of losing their traditional materials. The acquisition of Basket is part of GRAM’s ongoing commitment to acquire artwork and present exhibitions by artists representative of our diverse community. We’re eager to continue bringing diverse perspectives to our visitors, and excited to share these voices. I hope you’ll stop by our third floor galleries during your next visit and discover something new.

I look forward to seeing you around the Museum in the new year! Warm Wishes,

A New State of Matter: Contemporary Glass January 25 – April 26, 2020 Glass has been called a new state of matter because it is not purely a liquid, solid, or gas. Glass can transition from a liquid to a solid over a wide temperature range, causing it to be nicknamed “chameleon matter.” This quality makes it an ideal medium for a wide array of processes including blowing, kiln-forming, casting, and flame-working. Glass can be translucent, transparent, or opaque; it can refract images or reflect them back to the viewer; it is strong, yet delicate. These qualities make glass perfectly suited for artists to explore fragility, resiliency,

transparency, and transformation. This exhibition features work by contemporary artists who are using glass in innovative ways while also presenting its symbolic possibilities. Their artworks connect to broader cultural, environmental, political, and spiritual themes. Above: Charlotte Potter (American, b. 1981). Pending (Detail), 2014.

Each of the 19 artists included in the exhibition examines the material and symbolic potential of glass in unique and revealing ways. For example, artists Charlotte Potter and April Surgent use the ancient process of cameo glass engraving to consider relationships in the age of social media and climate change, respectively. Jeffrey Stenbom utilizes cast glass to spotlight the struggles facing the nation’s veterans. David Chatt, in a repetitive, labor-intensive process, covers found objects with thousands of miniscule glass beads to explore family and nostalgia. Amber Cowan repurposes American pressed glass to create intricate installations that reference a bygone era. The exhibition also includes work by Grand Rapids artist, Norwood Viviano. Viviano fuses fine arts practice with data and research findings in geography, economics, and the social sciences to create environments in which sensuous beauty and topical information coalesce. Viviano has said that, “the fragility of glass serves as a metaphor for balance between time, efficiency, and the inability of manufacturing to change and meet future needs.”  Featured artists include: Dean Allison, David Chatt, Amber Cowan, Steffen Dam, Morgan Gilbreath, Tali Grinshpan, Etsuko Ichikawa, Patrick Martin, Rachel Moore, Whitney Nye, Charlotte Potter, Michael Rogers, Erica Rosenfeld, Mary Shaffer, Jeffrey Stenbom, April Surgent, Judy Tuwaletstiwa, Norwood Viviano, and Jeff Zimmer.

Coming This Summer

In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940 Works from the Bank of America Collection May 21 – October 4, 2020 In A New Light: American Impressionism 1870—1940 presents groundbreaking paintings, prints, and drawings from acclaimed artists such as George Inness, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson, Daniel Garber, and Guy Carleton Wiggins, among others. This comprehensive exhibition of American Impressionism traces the emergence and evolution of a truly American style of art. The 130 works included in the exhibition reflect the changing mindset of America from the mid-19th to early 20th century. The exhibition concentrates on the regional artists’ colonies that were crucial to the American Impressionism movement, from the Northeast, to the Midwest, to the American West. Tranquil places for artists to share ideas and resources, these collaborative enclaves were often established in rural areas of great natural beauty, yet not far from urban centers. The exhibition explores the ways in which local artists interpreted America’s rural, maritime, and urban spaces and portray daily life using the Impressionist devices of brisk brushstrokes, a vibrant palette, and atmospheric effects.

In a New Light has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities® program and is the first major exhibition of American Impressionism at GRAM in over a decade.
