2021-2022 Annual Report

The end of the fiscal year represents a particularly energetic and exciting time of the year. It is a time to both reflect on our recent accomplishments and anticipate new beginnings.

DIRECTOR'S LETTER

INTERIM

Kristin Sosnowsky

This year the LSU MOA celebrated the 10th anniversary of one of our most important community-based programs, the Neighborhood Arts Project (NAP). Started in 2012, NAP provides on-site arts programming in libraries, community centers and places of worship serving youth and families specifically focused on areas of our community where art education may be inaccessible. Under the direction of our new Museum Educator Brandon V. Lewis, this summer NAP conducted 25 sessions at 12 different sites across the Baton Rouge region serving over 700 youth who created well over 2,000 pieces of art. Recognizing the impact of NAP, the Mayor-President’s Office invited the MOA as a partner in the Summer of Hope initiative led by Safe Hopeful Healthy Baton Rouge. These programs are designed to foster artmaking in the community and provide an outlet for creative expression.

As you will read in this annual report, the museum had a slate of exhibitions and engaging programs. There were impactful collaborations with the LSU School of Art including The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection featuring works from the LSU School of Art's Ceramics Department, and Candice Lin: The Agnotology of Tigers in which LSU art students created alongside renowned visiting artist Candice Lin. LSU MOA also had State of the Art 2020: Record organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas travel to Baton Rouge, LA and Eugene Martin: The Creative Act displaying works from the museum's permanent collection. Throughout the 2021 2022 year, many acquisitions expanded the collection, specifically ceramics donated by E. John Bullard, which will be a valuable teaching resource as part of the museum's mission. Representing both historical and contemporary viewpoints, these exhibitions demonstrate the museum's commitment to serving as a cultural and intellectual resource both reflecting on our past while inviting dialogue around important social issues. As you are looking forward, I hope you set aside time to visit the LSU Museum of Art regularly.

Finally, LSU Museum of Art Executive Director Daniel Stetson retired this July after leading the organization for over six years. I hope you will join me in thanking Daniel for his dedicated service to the LSU Museum of Art and wishing him well in this new chapter of his life. I feel privileged to serve the LSU Museum of Art as the Interim Director during this period of transition and look forward to seeing you in the galleries.

MISSION

The LSU Museum of Art seeks to enrich and inspire through collections, exhibitions, conservation, and education serving as a cultural and intellectual resource for the University, Baton Rouge, and beyond.

VISION

To invigorate, inspire, and educate the community of Baton Rouge through the arts.

ADVISORY BOARD CHAIR'S LETTER

Nancy C. Dougherty

I began my first year as Chair of the LSU Museum of Art Advisory Board just as Baton Rouge was struggling to emerge from the claustrophobic effects of COVID and lock downs. Following months of holding Advisory Board meetings by Zoom, we were excited to hold the annual Membership Meeting of the LSU MOA in person in August of 2021. At the meeting, the membership had the opportunity to meet and to visit in person with one another and then to enjoy the Form & Fire ceramics exhibition upstairs in the galleries. Featured in the Form & Fire exhibition were American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection. A second exhibit, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection was presented in conjunction with Form & Fire and provided museum visitors with multiple opportunities to watch ceramic artists at work.

In September 2021, the LSU MOA Advisory Board was back to meeting and conducting its business by Zoom, but by March of 2022 we were ready to meet in person again. Meanwhile, LSU MOA continued to provide excellent exhibits under difficult circum stances. Outstanding exhibitions this year have highlighted LSU MOA’s ability to keep the museum open and operating during the age of COVID. Those exhibitions have included: The Agnotology of Tigers, featuring works by Candice Lin, State of the Art 2020: Record organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas and Eugene Martin: The Creative Act. Mr. Martin was an African-American abstract artist whose works are held in the LSU MOA’s permanent collection. Ms. Lin’s exhibition explored the history of indentured Chinese labor in Louisiana and beyond. Throughout the 2021 2022 year, the museum staff has gone above and beyond to provide a safe, welcoming, and educational environment at the LSU Museum of Art. Acquisitions during this period were outstanding as well, including the many ceramic pieces that have been generously donated by Mr. E. John Bullard.

I am very proud to be affiliated with the LSU Museum of Art, and I look forward to a great 2022 2023 year. Please remember to keep the LSU Museum of Art at the top of your list as a destination for enjoyment, enlightenment, and entertainment and to support the museum with your donations and with your presence. Also be sure to shop at the LSU Museum Store for the perfect gift or for just a little self-indulgence! Your support is critical to the museum’s growth and success.

“

A tiny gem not to be missed. Great art on display!

It's a great art museum for a city our size. They consistently have terrific traveling exhibitions. The permanent collections are eclectic containing some very good pieces, particularly the jade and Newcomb Pottery exhibits. Very much worth a visit.

EXHIBITIONS

The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection

July 8, 2021–February 13, 2022 / 11,152 visitors

2022 SEMC Bronze Award (under $25,000 budget Exhibition Category)

This exhibition was a collaboration between the LSU Museum of Art and the LSU School of Art, and was curated by LSU Ceramics Associate Professor Andy Shaw, former LSU MOA Curator Courtney Taylor, and former LSU MOA Educator Grant Benoit.

Inspired by the visiting artist tradition, The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection examined the energy and legacy of academic demonstrations. Included in this exhibition were over 200 bisque works crafted by visiting artists at LSU. The works are a valued resource for the School of Art’s top-ten ranked ceramics program. The “boneyard” refers to the unique display of bisque works on high studio shelves, used to show a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill. The ever-growing collection was displayed at LSU MOA to imitate the classroom use of the boneyard. Faculty and instructors pull bisque objects from the shelves to highlight specific techniques and attributes of form. This exhibition also featured rotating displays, a reading area to study ceramic forms and technique, and a demonstration space activated by MFA students, local artists, and visiting artists. Museum visitors shared in the boneyard tradition—watching clay transform and viewing artist-specific techniques shared in the openness of the craft tradition.

EXHIBITIONS

Form & Fire: American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection

July 8, 2021–February 13, 2022 / 11,152 visitors

2022 SEMC Gold Award (Campaigns Publication Category)

This exhibition was curated by Daniel E. Stetson, former LSU MOA Executive Director.

Form & Fire: American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection featured a collection of over 100 American studio ceramic works either on loan or promised as gifts by bequest to the LSU Museum of Art from E. John Bullard. This collection comprises artworks by 69 artists, including important figures in ceramics history such as Andrea and John Gill, Vivika and Otto Heino, Ken Ferguson, Wayne Higby, Roberto Lugo, Gertrud and Otto Natzler, Don Reitz, Daniel Rhodes, Richard Shaw, Charles Smith, Paul Soldner, Akio Takamori, Robert Turner, Peter Voulkos, Kurt Weiser, Marguerite Wildenhain, and more. The Bullard Collection will be studied over time by the public and students in support of LSU's top-ten ranked ceramics program.

LSU MOA thanks the following patrons for making this exhibition and a Form & Fire collection catalogue possible: Partner Sponsors Catherine Burns Tremaine, Becky and Warren Gottsegen, and E. John Bullard; Presenting Sponsors: Robert and Linda Bowsher; and Supporters Debbie de La Houssaye and Lake Douglas, and Brian and Jacki Schneider. Programming sponsored by Louisiana CAT.

Candice Lin: The Agnotology of Tigers

October 20, 2021–March 20, 2022 / 8,251 visitors

This exhibition was a collaboration between the LSU College of Art + Design, the LSU School of Art, and the LSU Museum of Art. Support was provided by The Winifred and Kevin P. Reilly Jr. Fund and generous donors to the Annual Exhibition Fund.

Candice Lin: The Agnotology of Tigers featured works based on archival images from LSU alongside a new configuration of Lin’s tobacco version of La Charada China. The installation featured a figure made of pressed tobacco leaves and other plants and materials representative of indentured Chinese labor trade. A distillation system dripped a tincture of tobacco, tea, sugar, and poppy onto an unfired porcelain sculpture crafted by LSU School of Art students during a workshop with Candice Lin at LSU MOA. This tincture of valuable colonial commodities speaks to the intertwined histories of plants and humans both within plantation economies and herbal medicine. As it dripped, it eroded the unfired porcelain—metaphorically dismantling the presumed associations of whiteness with purity, superiority, and hardness.

This exhibit was supported by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, as administered by the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

EXHIBITIONS

State of the Art: Record

March 10–June 19, 2022 / 8,259 visitors

This exhibition was organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas. The national tour was sponsored by Bank of America with additional support from Art Bridges. This exhibition and its programming were sponsored locally by a generous grant from Art Bridges

State of the Art: Record, an exhibition organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, explored the meaning of "record" to better understand the world around us. Recordings preserve information. This can include an idea, a sound, a moment in time—the important outcome remains the same: the record. The artworks in this exhibition revealed a broad expanse of this concept and were divided into three parts: historical record (preserving history and re-constructing history); seeking the intangible; and finding order. Some artists grapple with the constantly unfolding historical record. Others use their work as a way to record concepts too big for words or too abstract for simple explanation. Others employ their artistic skills to order their surroundings, transforming chaos into something manageable. Record speaks to the task of documenting the random, confusing, and sometimes inexplicable, and underscores a desire to return to the existing record in order to reconsider. Three State of the Art: Record artists visited LSU MOA and led programming, including Kellie Romany, Paul Stephen Benjamin, and Jenelle Esparza. Additionally, a zine was published by LSU MOA featuring submissions from an open call for art for participants to create their own interpretation of record (see pages 40 41).

Eugene Martin: The Creative Act

April 7–October 2, 2022 / 8,854 visitors

Curated by Olivia Peltier, former LSU MOA Registrar.

This exhibition featured the artwork of artist Eugene Martin, and included colorful acrylic paintings, collages, and black and white ink drawings. Regardless of the media, his style is distinct—balanced abstracted compositions springing from jumbled mixtures of undulating organic forms and repetitive geometric shapes. Working in a time that African American artists were often overlooked, Martin chose to shy away from the accepted practice of creating art with realistic, culturally-connected narratives, subject matter considered “appropriate” for people of color. Instead, he relied on introspection and emotion to produce artwork stemming from his intrinsic need and impulse to create. Highlighted in the exhibition were Martin’s unparalleled collages, which feature pieces or photographs of previously completed works. This form of artistic cannibalism represents an artist’s practice which was never static and always learning. Also featured were Martin’s circle drawings, a product of setting his own limitations on composition—just to see what he could do. Working only from within, Martin straddles styles and does not answer to any outside influence and simply creates. This exhibit featured a collaborative collage studio space with art making materials, where visitors could add their own Eugene Martin-inspired collage piece to the gallery wall.

All LSU MOA exhibitions are supported by the donors to the Annual Exhibition Fund.

NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS PROJECT

“

Engaging young people through the arts during the summer is truly fulfilling. It is the desire of the LSU Museum of Art's Education Department that every Neighborhood Arts Project participant returns to school with a better understanding and appreciation of the arts.

Brandon V. Lewis LSU MOA Educator & Manger of Public Programs

ART EDUCATION OUTREACH The LSU MOA Education Department spent the summer of 2022 engaging youth through art exploration during the Neighborhood Arts Project (NAP). NAP strives to open doors of imagination and inspiration in areas of the Greater Baton Rouge community that do not have accessible arts education avenues for children. The museum's Educator, Brandon V. Lewis, along with two LSU student workers, visited six East Baton Rouge Parish libraries, four community centers, and partnered with Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome's Summer of Hope Initiative led by Safe Hopeful Healthy Baton Rouge at sites across the city. The children explored quilting techniques and created mural paintings, drawings, and clay works.

Neighborhood Arts Project is made possible with the support of the following community partners: Office of Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, Bank of America, Art Bridges, Louisiana CAT, BREC, and the Summer of Hope Initiative.

The Boneyard: The Ceramics Teaching Collection Studio Space

The museum worked closely with the LSU School of Art Ceramics department, not only to curate the selection and to carefully receive works from their bisque collection, but to also feature students and faculty during tours, visiting artists workshops, and student-led demonstrations. Having the in-gallery studio space in The Boneyard uniquely allowed students to watch and learn from visiting artists and demonstrating students in the museum, and provided the general public an opportunity to participate. A series of ceramic demos were held by the following artists: Lisa Orr, Wes Brown (pictured above top left), Jessica Brandl (pictured above bottom left), Kyra Jackson (pictured above bottom right), Joe Nivens, Peter Smith, Matt Jones (pictured above top right), Amanda Proctor, Matthew Barton, and Denise Greenwood-Loveless. Making a studio space within the exhibition had a significant impact; it opened opportunities for visitors to see artists at work creating in a studio.

Working with Candice Lin while learning about her personal work and process was an amazing experience. During our workshop, we approached clay in a way that allowed the material to be more of an expressive medium with the weight of our collective thoughts and world views. I enjoyed seeing the result of my first time collaborating within a group with Candice and other artists.

Nickeyia Johnson BFA Sculpture & Ceramics, LSU 2022

Candice Lin Workshop with LSU Art Students

Candice Lin worked with art students at LSU to create the porcelain sculpture that was deteriorated by the distillation system of La Charada China (Tobacco Version). During this collaboration, students were challenged to recall an object broken in childhood that they had certain attachments to and an object that represented a time or moment of transformation. They discussed items that reflected things happening within themselves and in society over the past few years. This exercise led to the creation of a sculpture featuring elements such as pandemic masks and the products of pollution, all which were eroded and intentionally transformed over time by the distillation system.

The porcelain sculpture was created on site at LSU MOA 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 (some, not all students pictured below).

VISITING ARTISTS & ZINE PROJECT

Kellie Romany

State of the Art: Record artist Kellie Romany finds order by investigating the concepts of chromatic scales of skin color by staining ceramic discs that visitors can handle. At LSU MOA, visitors watched an opening reception performance of Can I Get a Witness? by Romany, during which she placed dripping discs as she read poetry. Romany also visited LSU MFA studios on campus and led a workshop for a LSU creative writing class, gave an artist talk at the museum, and facilitated a clay disc workshop at LSU MOA.

Paul Stephen Benjamin

State of the Art: Record artist Paul Stephen Benjamin presented a live stream performance of Daily Meditations. LSU MOA collaborated with the LSU Main Library to live stream his performance on campus, where viewers could respond live to the piece's question: "If the color black had a sound, what would it sound like?" Benjamin also created charcoal rubbings of the Daily Meditations vinyl installation in the LSU MOA lobby, producing a record of his work.

STATE OF THE ART: RECORD ZINE PROJECT

Jenelle Esparza

State of the Art: Record artist Jenelle Esparza's handwoven tapestries Dancer In An Unconscious Rhythm I & II preserve the history of labor and the resilience of the human body to heal itself. During her time at LSU MOA, Esparza demonstrated weaving techniques to children at Gardere Initiative, a Neighborhood Arts Project site, led a gallery discussion about her works with LSU History Professor Stephen Andes, and presented a free educator workshop on weaving traditions, which was well attended by local educators.

During the State of the Art: Record exhibition, LSU MOA held an open call for artwork submissions to be compiled into a zine publication. Participants were asked to submit their interpretation of 'record' in any media. A total of 121 submissions were gathered from the local community, Therese Knowles' ceramics high school class at the LSU-University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, LSU MOA Advisory Board members, and beyond. The museum also partnered with the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library and the LSU College of Art + Design to set up a collage art-making table, encouraging participation and facilitating accessibility to this open call.

H. PARROTT BACOT LECTURE SERIES

To honor the legacy of H. Parrott “Pat” Bacot, longtime curator of the LSU Museum of Art, LSU MOA created a Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series in 2021 which focuses on Decorative Arts held in LSU MOA’s permanent collection–a collection greatly indebted to the efforts of Pat Bacot.

The H. Parrott Bacot Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series invites experts and artists from the decorative arts field annually to the LSU Museum of Art to view, research, and respond to LSU Museum of Art’s decorative arts collections.

ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

ART EDUCATION OUTREACH AND VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING

The LSU MOA along with visiting artists went to local schools and libraries to lead ceramic demos and educational activities. The museum also continued to hold virtual programs throughout the year including a Celebrate Clay Series. This provided opportunities for the public to learn from artists featured in LSU MOA exhibitions and museum professionals.

FREE FIRST SUNDAYS AND FREE FRIDAY NIGHTS

The museum offers free museum admission with exhibition-specific activities for children and adults once a month, along with free Friday nights. Programming in 2021–2022 was well attended and included exhibition tours for both the public and classes, hands-on artmaking activities, ceramic demos, and more. We thank the following sponsors of Free Friday Nights and Free First Sundays: Louisiana Lottery Corporation and IBERIABANK, a division of First Horizon, for sponsoring free admission, and Louisiana CAT for sponsoring programming.

LSU MOA JOINED MUSEUMS FOR ALL

To create accessibility to visitors, LSU MOA joined Museums for ALL. With this program, visitors can show their EBT card and photo ID at the admissions desk and receive unlimited free admission for up to 4 individuals. Museums for All is a national, branded access program that encourages individuals of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. Museums for All is an initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal agency based in Washington, DC. The initiative is administered by the Association of Children’s Museums through a cooperative agreement with IMLS.

FOCUS

ON

VISITOR EXPERIENCE

COVES (Collaboration for Ongoing Visitor Experience Studies) is a program by Art Bridges designed to unite museums in systematically collecting audience-level data, with a focus on institutional and field-wide improvement. LSU MOA began the program in the spring of 2022 gathering feedback on visitor experiences in the galleries using tablets loaded with an on-site survey. The data collected will tell LSU MOA staff who visits, why they visit, what they see or do in the galleries, and how they feel about their overall experience at the museum. Better understanding of the visitor’s experience allows us to make improvements using this feedback to engage our community and the public more effectively.

YOUR GIFTS CREATE IMPACT.

Director's Excellence Fund Excellence funds are discretionary dollars carefully targeted to meet emerging opportunities and immediate needs that arise. These generous dollars support areas such as staff training, equipment purchases, travel, and other needs that come up due to shifting circumstances, the unexpected or emergencies.

Creative Education Spaces Capital Gifts will be used to realize renovations on two floors of the Shaw Center that will enhance and enlarge the usable space for art and community events, and provide support for specialized equipment needs, such as computers, print making equipment, specialized sinks, interactive touch screens for our classrooms, and other studio equipment. This support will modernize our multi-purpose space, our conference/ teaching room and create our first true museum classroom/studio/maker’s space usable by all ages.

Exhibitions Endowment Fund Endowed gifts will provide support for bringing excellent exhibitions to LSU MOA. A robust exhibitions program that presents historic and contemporary exhibitions relies on available resources to schedule exhibitions, sometimes many years ahead. An endowment would do just that and allow for greater opportunities to be planned for and realized.

Annual Exhibitions Fund Gifts and Sponsorships fund the annual changing exhibitions program. Exhibitions are the core of our educational mission, as our programs resolve around the content of these changing projects, and this targeted support is the foundation upon which these projects are based.

Acquisitions and Collection Care Gifts will provide support for LSU MOA staff to grow and protect our vast collection.

Conservation Gifts will support individualized conservation efforts, depending on the greatest need for our permanent collection’s care.

Acquisitions Gifts will provide the opportunity to collect important artwork based on the gaps in LSU MOA’s collection and collecting priorities.

Education Gifts allow our educator to develop program materials, provide students of all ages amazing content and art materials/supplies based on our exhibitions, and give area teachers opportunities for continuing education credits.

Diversity And Inclusion Initiatives Gifts to support diversity and inclusion initiatives will help us enact intentional policies that will impact collections, community, and professional practices at the LSU MOA and in the museum field.

People And Programs Graduate Assistantships: Gifts will fund opportunities for graduate students to gain real-world work experiences that prepare them to jump-start their careers in museums, education, and the arts while also supporting the work of the LSU MOA staff in the specialized areas of exhibitions, collections, and education.

Artist Residencies Gifts will help LSU MOA collaborate with the LSU School of Art and our community to empower artists to advance their creative pursuits, while contributing to our exhibitions and educational programming. LSU MOA's collaborative relationship with the LSU College of Art + Design strengthens relationships among the museum, the university, and the community. LSU MOA collaborates with the LSU College of Art + Design, LSU School of Art, other LSU Colleges and Departments, and our community to empower artists to advance their creative pursuits while contributing to our educational programming. Visiting and exhibiting artists present public lectures and gallery talks, meet with LSU students in their classes, and conduct student workshops on campus and at the museum.
