The Board of Directors of the Matheson History Museum is pleased to announce the hiring of Kaitlyn Hof-Mahoney as the museum’s new executive director. Hof-Mahoney previously served as a volunteer, curator of collections, and acting administrator.
“In my role as Curator of Collections my favorite part has been learning something new almost every day in speaking with our visitors, attending our programs, facilitating research appointments, meeting with community partners, and conducting exhibition research. As Executive Director, I look forward to continuing to build relationships with the Alachua County community.”
Hof-Mahoney takes over the 27-year-old institution after serving as the acting administrator for seven months. A graduate of Auburn University and the University of Florida, Hof-Mahoney began volunteering at the Matheson in the fall of 2015 and was hired as the full-time curator of collections in January 2018.

As Executive Director, Kaitlyn will strive to enhance our financial sustainability, build strong community partnerships, and provide the quality programming that is essential to better understanding our world, past and present.”
Hof-Mahoney’s vision for the Matheson is a three-part approach that focuses on Friends, Funds, and Facilities. She states that, “these three pillars will create a solid and sustainable foundation for the Matheson to carry out our mission and continue to serve Gainesville and Alachua County.”
GEORGIA
Georgia College celebrated two new state-of-theart construction projects—one just breaking ground and the other finishing up— on Wednesday, Sept. 29. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for Georgia College’s new $3.4 million Andalusia Interpretive Center at 2628 N. Columbia Street in Milledgeville.
Shovels of dirt were turned to commemorate the start of construction for Andalusia’s new Interpretive Center. The 4,860 sq. ft. building is designed to blend in with the historic architectural aesthetics of the site. Alumna and author Flannery O’Connor spent her last years at the Andalusia farmhouse, composing many of her short stories, articles and letters.
The center will be used as a point-of-entry for public tours at Andalusia. There will be an exhibition room, research area, gift shop, offices and rental facilities. Outside, there will be a story-telling courtyard and walkway connecting to the rest of the property.
“I’m excited about the opportunities this new center will bring,” said Matt Davis, director of historic museums. “From a state-of-the-art exhibition and collection

The LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA has an exhibition titled Candice Lin: The Agnotology of Tigers on view October 22, 2021 to March 20, 2022. This exhibition is a collaboration between the LSU College of Art & Design, the LSU School of Art, and the LSU Museum of Art. In one gallery features the installation by Candice Lin titled La Charada China (Tobacco Version) and in our portrait gallery contains a porcelain sculpture that was created on site at LSU Museum of Art with LSU School of Art students Kyra Jackson, Matt Jones, Nickeyia Johnson, Cecelia Moseley, Gillian Harper, Lu Colby, Paul Acevedo Gomez, Thras Kalaitzidis, and Ali Saunders during Candice Lin’s visiting artist workshop. During the workshop with Candice Lin, students recalled an object broken in childhood that they had certain attachments to and an object that represented a time or moment of transformation. They discussed objects they felt reflected things happening within themselves and society in the past few years. This exercise led to the creation of this sculpture which will be eroded over time by the distillation system of La Charada China (Tobacco Version). Candice Lin is also a Prospect.5 artist and has work on view at The University of New Orleans St. Claude Gallery.
Candice Lin: The Agnotology of Tigers features recent works based on archival images from LSU alongside a new configuration of Lin’s tobacco version of La Charada China. Central to Lin’s project, La Charada China features a stereotypical “coolie” figure made of pressed tobacco leaves alongside other plants and materials entangled in the indentured Chinese labor trade. The installation derives from a syncretic, divination-type gambling game practiced in the Caribbean primarily by Chinese laborers. In Lin’s hands, she speculates that this game could have functioned within the community as a way to redistribute wealth. A distillation system drips a tincture of tobacco, tea, sugar, and poppy onto an unfired porcelain sculpture. This tincture of valuable colonial commodities speaks to the intertwined histories of plants and humans both within plantation economies and herbal medicine. As it drips, it erodes the unfired porcelain—metaphorically dismantling the presumed associations of whiteness with purity, superiority, and hardness. In this exhibition, Lin worked with students at LSU to create the porcelain sculpture that will later be destroyed in the liquid process.
Lin’s installation illuminates sublimated histories of social violence and a politics of forgetting that obscures the history of indentured Chinese labor and its dehumanizing effects still manifest in global policies and lingering stereotypes. Lin’s most recent works explore how these processes intersect with LSU football’s “Chinesebandits” and cheerleaders who dressed as “coolie” laborers.
This exhibition is a collaboration between the LSU College of Art & Design, the LSU School of Art, and the LSU Museum of Art. Support is provided by The Winifred and Kevin P. Reilly Jr. Fund and generous donors to the LSU Museum of Art Annual Exhibition Fund.
Candice Lin works primarily in sculpture and installation.

Born in Concord, MA, Lin now lives and works in Los Angeles where she serves as Assistant Professor of Art at UCLA. Lin is also a Prospect.5 artist: work featured as part of Prospect.5 will further explore her research into Louisiana’s history of indentured Chinese labor.
SOUTH CAROLINA
The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC is pleased to present the exhibition Dyani White Hawk: Hear Her. Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota) is a visual artist and independent curator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her work illuminates society’s consistent ignorance of Native people. With her video, photography, and works in other media, she aims to use the language of visual art to bring light to the deep chasm between our understanding of history and the truth. Her work weaves together forms from the canon of Western art along with the visual languages and traditions of Native people. In doing so, her work spotlights Native women, whose strength and fortitude over centuries have helped their peoples’ languages and cultures to survive.
On view in Hear Her, White Hawk’s video installation Listen presents a series of Native women speaking the language of their people. Each film takes place on the land of each participant’s nation, and viewers hear the respective languages without translation. As such, White Hawk puts a focus not only on the resonance of each speaker, but she also reveals society’s collective ignorance of the people, culture, and language of those native to the land on which we live.
White Hawk’s photography installation I Am Your Relative confronts the gross stereotypes and distorted
caricatures that dehumanize and commodify Native women. The exhibition serves as a true locus for the convergence of multiple Humanities including the visual arts, language, human geography, and history, all working in sync to give visibility to the invisible and fill a vital gap in our collective knowledge.
This project is sponsored in part by South Carolina Humanities, a not-for-profit organization; inspiring, engaging and enriching South Carolinians with programs on literature, history, culture and heritage. An educational program inspired by this artist and exhibition with a local middle school is funded in part by a grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission Arts Education Project.
Dyani White Hawk: Hear Her is on view from January 14 to February 26, 2022.

The Artists Inside Outsider Art draws from the Museum’s permanent collection of artworks that are often referred to as “Folk Art,” “Outsider Art,” or “Self-Taught Art.” The collection, some of which will be on display for the first time, dates between the 1940s and the 1990s and includes well-known southern artists like Thornton Dial, Minnie Evans, and R. A. Miller. Primarily self-taught, these “outsider” artists often use bright colors and found or recycled materials like wood, clay, and metal.
Outsider art can have many definitions, but most agree that it includes forms of creative expression that exist outside accepted cultural norms or the realm of “fine art”. The exhibition dives into some of the challenges in using different descriptors but eschews much of controversy surrounding the collecting and selling of “outsider art” or “self-taught art”. Rather than perpetuating

stereotypes that these artists somehow belong outside of the art world, The Artists Inside Outsider Art is an attempt to reconcile that marginalization by acknowledging that these artists have their own agency, and through their agency, they have made art that reflects their cultural experiences. For Faculty Curator Dr. Lana Burgess, this exhibition is personal. “When I began my curatorial career in Alabama, I had the opportunity to meet some of the artists exhibited here. Talking to and working with them, I learned how many of them created art without a specific audience in mind, but for themselves. I invite visitors to come and celebrate the ingenuity of the men and women who literally took materials readily available and combined them with personal inspiration to make expressive southern contemporary art.”
The Artists Inside Outsider Art will be on view from November 8, 2021 through March 5, 2022.

sponsored by Conley and Conley Attorneys at Law. Hudson is a former English professor, stockbroker and farmer originally from Dyersburg, Tenn., who owns the largest private collection of for-sale antiquarian maps, globes, books and prints in the world. The spark of inspiration for his collection came from visiting an antique map shop on High Street in London while taking a summer course at Oxford University in 1964. His collection today includes more than 17,000 maps and more than 700 globes of various ages, sizes and designs. Many can be found in his shop, Murray Hudson – Antique Maps, Globes, Books & Prints, in the former Halls, Tenn., Post Office at 109 Church Street, where he also sells vintage sheet music and antique posters.
“Because ‘discovery’ is even in the name, I’ve always thought Discovery Park would be the perfect place for an exhibit of some of my collection,” said Hudson. The team at Discovery Park that undertook the task of creating an exhibit from Hudson’s collection found it challenging to narrow down the items that will appear in the exhibit. “Each time we visited Halls and explored this collection with Murray, we likened the experience to stepping into Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School or a magical wizard’s lair,” said Jennifer Wildes, the museum’s senior director of exhibits and collections. “There was so much there we wanted to share with our guests, but only so much room. We selected the items that we thought were the most interesting and that tell the story of the physical history of the world as we knew it, starting as early as the 1500s.”
One extremely rare item that will be on display when the exhibit opens on Dec. 2 is the very first edition of the first atlas of America, printed in 1795, which houses 21 maps. Another early map features Rome as it existed in 1595 and includes hand-written notes made by Abraham Ortelius, the father of modern cartography, the practice of drawing maps.

Murry Hudson is a former English professor, stockbroker and farmer who has amassed the largest private collection of for-sale antiquarian maps, globes, books and prints in the world. Some of his collection will be on display at Discovery Park of American in Union City, Tenn., Dec. 2, 2021 – March 1, 2022.
Those exploring the exhibit will also get to see rare globes that range from the two-and-a-half-foot wide diplomat’s globe from 1918 that focuses on political geography to one of the smaller curiosities in his collection, an 1840s boxed globe from Germany that shows Texas as an independent republic, just before it was annexed by the United States. One globe that will be on display has personal significance for Hudson. Painted on a gourd, it includes a scene from “The Wizard of Oz.” Hudson’s late wife, Bonnie Hudson, was a great-granddaughter of L. Frank Baum, author of the famous children’s book series that was later adapted for the classic 1939 film.
When asked if the collection will include any treasure maps, Hudson replies that in his collection, “the globes and maps are the treasure.”
