On the morning of Wednesday, May 20th, as heavy rains continued to pound Daytona Beach, we found several small leaks in the Center for Florida History. Staff members followed water intrusion protocol by securing objects, sandbagging, and attempting to keep all areas as dry as possible with wet vacuums. We held an emergency meeting mid-morning after it became apparent that we could not internally contain the water that was coming up from the ground through the museum’s foundation. A professional water removal and restoration company was on-site before noon that day.

By early afternoon, the Navy Canal along Museum Boulevard consumed the street and our entire south parking lot. The following day all retention ponds surrounding the museum overflowed. Despite all efforts to remove water, including an industrial pump delivered from Jacksonville, by late-night Thursday the museum’s lower galleries and offices had taken on considerable amounts of water. The flooding was contained to the west wing which is the area of the museum that is built much lower than the more recent additions. MOAS staff and disaster recovery contractors worked 24 hours a day to keep water levels at a minimum and ensure absolutely no objects were damaged during the flooding.

All water was removed by mid-day on Monday, May 25th. Emergency crews pumped an estimated 50,000 gallons of water from the museum’s lower galleries. The cleanup, still taking place as I write this, has been extensive. Drywall, carpeting, and all furniture have been removed. Built-in exhibit casework, all contained to the Center for Florida History, has been heavily damaged. The damaged areas include the Elaine and Thurman Gillespy, Jr. Gallery, the Center for Florida History, the Karshan Gallery, the Marzullo Gallery, the Cuban Foundation Museum Gallery, the planetarium, 10 staff offices, and some storage space. These areas represent about 25% of the museum’s 100,000 square feet of space.

Having to close for nearly four weeks for cleanup has had a severe impact on the museum’s already strained budget. We have operated for at least three weeks of 24 hour shifts to clean up the museum and the staff and contractors are to be commended for their excellent teamwork.

The curatorial staff has ensured that all art and artifacts within the museum’s vast collections have remained undamaged during this entire cleanup.

We are in the process, with the kind assistance of County Council Chair Frank Bruno and Senator Evelyn Lynn, both of whom were among the earliest officials to come to the museum’s aid, along with support from Mayor Glenn Richey, to come up with both short term and long term solutions to the museum’s problem. This is the fourth time in the past 10 years that the west wing of the museum has flooded. The floor of the west wing galleries is 36 inches below current building code.

The time has come for us as a community to determine how we move forward. As Florida’s only AAM accredited museum between Jacksonville and Orlando and as the state’s only general museum, we know the significance of our institution. We are obligated to do the best job possible for not only our residents and members today, but for the generations that will follow. Rebuilding the museum’s west wing, in some way, shape, form, or location is the only option.

For those of you who are able to help the museum at this time, your financial support to help ongoing operations is vital. For those of you who are able to assist with a long term solution, that will include considerable construction and remediation costs, this community and its future residents thank you beyond what you can imagine.

Finally, we encourage you to visit the museum this summer with your friends and family. The majority of the museum is open and ready for visitors including the new Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum featuring three new exhibits, the Root Family Museum, the Schulte Gallery of Chinese Art, the Bouchelle Gallery of International Decorative Arts, the Dow Gallery of American Art, and the Ford gallery which features the newly opened exhibition Ringling Retro: Selections of Modern and Contemporary Works of Art from the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

EXHIBIT FEATURE

A new installation in the Anderson C. Bouchelle Study Center and Gallery for the International Decorative Arts focuses on the history, glow and By: Cynthia Duval Chief Curator and Curator of Decorative Arts

sparkle of a grouping of impressive contemporary jewelry on loan from the Gary R. Libby Charitable Trust.

Chosen for their technical achievement, internationalism and their range of colors, and to highlight beauty, the gems are simply set; the majority of the rings in classic hoops, the bracelets and necklaces designed to resemble flowing rainbows and ribbons of colored light.

One demi-parure (necklace, bracelet and earring set) in particular stands out; a dramatic tour-de-force of almost-opaque Asian Indian rubies. It claims attention with stones of exceptional color and haunting depths of lavender and rose, only visible on the closest of inspections. The most beautiful rubies in the world are from Kashmir and Burma, and these July birthstones bring luck to all who wear them, historically protecting the wearer from plague and banishing sadness. They were once further thought to darken in color when danger threatened; resuming their natural hue when danger passed. These and similar opinions regarding the talismanic meanings and magical properties of colored stones come down to us from a variety of early sources since the days of ancient Babylon and Egypt, where colored stones were also associated with the colors of the planets; thus astrologically significant.

Recipes which not only included powdered rubies but also powdered emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones spiked with herbs and honey and sometimes dissolved in wine formed the basis of many formulas and remedies in the world of Europe’s alchemists until quite late in the 18th century, when their sheer expense gradually caused them to go out of use. When not reduced to medicinal powders or simply worn as objects of beauty colored gems have also been traditionally used as decorative elements on such items as goblets; thought to bring luck to all who drank from them. One such goblet was given

by Louis XI (1423-1483) to his brother the duc de Guienne after a family quarrel as a token of their renewed friendship and love.

Love plays a major role in the history of gems and jewels, and the collection on display whispers romance through its range of sapphire blues, its emerald greens, amethysts both delicate and richly purple, its delicious garnets, opals and diamonds of great clarity and beauty.

As seen in the gallery, the most preferred mounting for colored gems today - as well as for diamonds, is sterling silver, white gold or platinum (the silver is sometimes backed with gold to give stability); the pale silvery color specifically chosen so as not to detract from the stones themselves. This simplicity belies their true sophistication.

Technically, the installation runs the gamut of the jeweler’s art of stone-cutting from domed cabochons to multi-faceted brilliant and trillian-cut gems. Table-cut stones with stepsides contrast with others cut in the form of hearts, pentagons, ovals, triangles, lozenges and marquises. Most of the gems are anonymously designed and cut, but look for the delicate leaf inspired bracelet in diamonds and sapphires by Cartier, and the Renaissance-form rings of David Yurman, “jeweler to the stars.” Through their quality, technical achievement and elegant designs, the rings, necklaces and bracelets on display highlight and emphasize the continued importance of the Bouchelle Gallery as the museum’s Decorative Arts Study Center and add a modern glow to the antique objects already on exhibition.

Three New Children’s Museum Exhibits Arrive in Time for Summer!

By Christina Lane, Marketing & Communications Director With the opening of the children’s museum in November, MOAS has welcomed many new sounds, including the sounds of children squealing, laughing, and sometimes even crying when the time comes to go home. A day at the museum now provides something for the entire family to do, well everyone except the baby that is.

Through a partnership with the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia, the museum was able to fulfill the growing need for an exhibit that focused on engaging our youngest visitors. The Early Learning Play Center, which opened in June, has already been one of the most popular exhibits at MOAS.

EARLY G IN LEARNY PLA R E T N E C par tnership Presented in e with th

The center provides a bright, colorful, safe place for children ages 6 to 36 months to learn through play with a family member or caregiver. Comprised of five stations, the play area challenges infants and toddlers to engage in activities that develop motor skills, encourage early literacy, and build critical cognitive processes. Each center is accompanied by an adult-height text panel that gives adults cues on how to interact with children at each station and encourage new levels of exploration.

Look for this sign at the bottom of the ramp just to the right of the entrance to the Charles and Linda Williams’ Children’s Museum to enter the Early Learning Play Center from inside the museum!

Imagine seeing a note being played for as long as that note is held … this visual enhancement to music is now available at MOAS for children when they sit down and play the Bubble Keyboard in the children’s museum.

New CSI ExhiBit Would Make Sherlock Holmes Proud

By Zach Zacharias, Senior Curator of Education A new CSI exhibit in the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum, sponsored by Thomas Zane, will focus on careers in law enforcement and forensic investigation. As they learn about this exciting field, children will learn the basics of crime investigation, and, perhaps, be attracted to law enforcement as a career.

Four elements of scientific investigation will be highlighted in the exhibit: DNA analysis, witness investigation, fingerprint investigation, and fiber analysis. Interest in criminal investigation has increased with the soaring popularity of police and crime scene investigation television shows.

Since the premiere season of the well known CSI television series was broadcast in 2000-2001, a few pioneering schools and museums have addressed these interests in courses and hands-on exhibits. While many children may have seen these techniques used by television and movie actors, the real science of criminal investigation goes far beyond what children might see in the media. The CSI exhibit will give them a deeper understanding of the actual science that supports crime scene investigation.

Children will learn about the complicated science behind DNA analysis, including how samples are collected and the time needed to process them. Fingerprint and fiber analysis activities will challenge them to match fingerprints and fibers to reference samples. In another activity center,

16 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

children will learn to give police-style descriptions of persons under observation, comparing their notes with actual persons. These real CSI training activities will excite children’s senses and sharpen their thinking skills, giving parents yet another reason to bring their kids to our popular Children’s Museum.

Four elements of scientific investigation will be highlighted in the exhibit:

Oceanariums Bubble Keyboard Connects Music with Light

By Teresa Wright, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Oceanariums, LLC

Imagine seeing a note being played for as long as that note is held … this visual enhancement to music is now available at MOAS for children when they sit down and play the Bubble Keyboard in the children’s museum.

This new exhibit, designed and built locally by Oceanariums, LLC, will offer the museum’s youngest visitors the opportunity to strike a note on the keyboard and cause one of eight bubble tubes to light up and bubble. Each bubble tube has a corresponding note on the keyboard.

When that note is struck, its bubble tube will bubble and light up, showing the engraved letter note of the key.

The designing and building of this exhibit has been a great project for Oceanariums, LLC to further our support of education and the arts. The cut-away window in the exhibit will enable kids to see the electronic and air pump applications utilized to create music on this Bubble Keyboard.

The goal of the exhibit is to enable a visual connection for children, enhancing the musical experience and enabling an additional sensory association. A simple song played by a visitor will be a delight to the eyes, as well as the ears.

MUSEUM NEWS

MOAS is fortunate to have one of the greatest collections of art and art objects within the state of Florida. However, our ability to show all 50,000 pieces of the collection at any given time in our galleries is virtually impossible. Through the new Visible Storage Facility, we shall be able to present a greater number of pieces than ever before. This facility will be built through a generous donation from Helene B. Roberson and named after her, as well as with matching money from the Volusia County ECHO program. A number of members have asked me to explain the difference between an exhibition and a visible storage display, and I think it is appropriate to expound on this theme, outlining the differentials. Exhibitions are based on curatorial-inspired storylines; in open storage, the visitors are free to enjoy the art without guidance or restrictions.

There are various types of storage facilities in museums, as John D. Hilberry explained in a 2002 article in the American Association of Museums’ Museum News. The first type of facility is very similar to our very own Bouchelle Study Center for Decorative Arts. In fact, one of the models for Bouchelle was the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as outlined in a past issue of our Arts and Sciences magazine. In Bouchelle, MOAS objects are used as study pieces with minimal written information.

Morrison H. Hecksher, Lawrence A. Fleischman Chairman of the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum, in charge of the Luce Open Storage Gallery since its inception in 1988, is currently in the throes of upgrading the facility. This was set up with the then avant-garde installation of a bank of research computers. Today, when computers are an everyday aid to research for the average student and member of the public, the technical aspect of open storage is currently only one of the ways of providing information. “Open storage is an incredibly instructive way to show art,” Hecksher states, “the public is thrilled to be free to view so much without the guidance of labels and other educational tools. The study and comparison of works of art where personal impressions are everything is proving highly successful!”

CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION Wednesday, October 7, 10:00 AM

HENRY & MUDGE Having studied the open storage galleries of the Brooklyn Museum, which houses about 2,000 objects and covers approximately 4,200 square feet, the New York Historical Society and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, I have come to understand how our own facility would best serve our needs as well as those of the general public.

The New York Historical Society’s extensive facility occupies the entire fourth floor of that museum in Central Park West and contains approximately 40,000 artifacts collected by the museum during its nearly 200 years of existence. The Smithsonian American Art Museum houses more than 3,000 objects and is Washington D.C.’s first open storage. Harold Closter, Director of Smithsonian Affiliations (of which MOAS is an active member), says that many museums today are opting for open storage facilities as a way of making collections more accessible to the public; further fulfilling cultural and educational obligations to serve the community, while at the same time preserving collections for public trust. In Florida, Susanne White, Curator of the Smithsonian-affiliated South Florida Museum of Art and Bishop Planetarium in Bradenton, states that her museum’s open storage gallery is the “best permanent display in the whole museum—a fine educational tool which draws the public to discover treasures previously stored in locked storage areas.” A fascinating facet of museum visits, this open storage houses nearly 20,000 objects, primarily in the areas of paleontology, archaeology, minerals and shells.

26 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

Currently MOAS has two on-site storage facilities for art and art objects, both of which are overcrowded.

Our primary mission in building an up-to-date open storage facility is to create an environment that will not only stabilize artifacts and provide additional storage for collections and artifacts, but also bring to light previously unseen treasures. One of the most significant groupings of objects slated to be stored in this facility is the museum’s extensive collection of Napoleonic material, much of which was generously donated by Kenneth and Mary Mohan Dow.

Curators are currently evaluating proposed objects and working on the interior design of the facility, so that the museum maximizes the storage area and provides the public with the opportunity to see and enjoy the full nature and character of our collections.

For the public, there is both curiosity and excitement in “discovering the previously unseen.” It is anticipated that we shall start construction on the building itself early in the summer of 2010. Depending on the building schedule, the interior construction and curatorial workload, our new facility should be installed and ready to open to the public a few months after the building itself is completed.

Wednesday, November 18, 10:00 AM

Our plans are to start an endowment for the building of this facility so that the perpetual care of the whole of the MOAS collection is ensured. If you are interested in discussing a contribution to this fund, I welcome you to visit the museum and participate in our plans. Your support for this exciting project would be greatly appreciated, ensuring the Museum of Arts and Sciences of its rightful place as one of the leading institutions of its kind in the Southeast.

What is this “eye to the sky” that is generating all the buzz? A new ‘small radio telescope’ (or SRT), provided by the Daytona Beach Section of the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers, will generate valuable research information and excite the interest of secondary and post-secondary students in mathematics, astronomy, and engineering at MOAS. What is a small radio telescope and how does it differ from optical astronomy (using telescopes with lenses)?

While optical astronomy has been around since the time of Galileo four hundred years ago, radio astronomy has only been around since the 1930s.

Optical astronomy centers on a very narrow band of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum, which consists of a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, from low frequency to high frequency waves. We constantly encounter various electromagnetic waves in our everyday lives, from low-frequency radio waves and microwaves to high-frequency x-rays and gamma rays. Optical frequencies occupy a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, while

the section classified as radio waves occupies a relatively large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

3635 Clyde Morris Blvd., Suite 600 Port Orange (Located At The Surgery Center of Volusia)

The SRT at MOAS has been designed to receive emission radiation from objects in outer space in the frequency range around 1420 Mega-hertz. That frequency was selected because radiation emissions in that range are most strongly emitted by hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. Centering on that range, the SRT can collect data from a wide variety of celestial sources, such as the Sun, the planets Jupiter and Saturn, gaseous nebulae, and far away galaxies.

The data collected by the SRT cannot be seen by the naked eye. Collected by a large parabolic dish, the data is sent as a signal to a digital receiver that, in turn, downloads a data file as numbers to a computer. To demonstrate the existence of these radio waves from distant celestial objects, they can be converted to corresponding sound frequencies. The Sun’s converted radio data sounds like ocean waves crashing upon the shore, while Saturn’s converted radio data sounds like whales calling to each other in the depths of the ocean.

The SRT physically resembles the old television satellite dishes that mushroomed in peoples’ yards during the ‘70s and CONTINUED ON PAGE 36

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Richard Currier’s “Ambiguous Realm of the Undetermined”

By Jay Williams, Gary R. Libby Curator of Art

“My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined.

They determine nothing. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined.” - Odilon Redon (1840-1916) As an adjunct to the exhibition Ringling Retro: Selections of Modern and Contemporary Works of Art from the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the curators and registrar of the Museum of Arts and Sciences have selected modern and contemporary art from the permanent collection to hang in the entry area of the North Wing. This selection of first-rate paintings includes works of art by nationally and internationally known luminaries such as Alexander Archipenko, Carol Brown Goldberg, and Andy Warhol, as well as some of Florida’s best contemporary artists, including Nancee Clark, Hiram Williams, and Richard Currier. This article focuses on Currier’s Papaya (2002), one of the most striking and visually appealing paintings in this grouping.

Currier’s intriguing still life canvas captures the attention of visitors passing by, demands that they stop and take it in—but, paradoxically, the still life remains mysterious even after repeated viewings. As we gaze at the yelloworange slices of soft, juicy fruit in the foreground and notice the multitude of large round seeds falling along its angled surface, we are amazed by the freshness of its glowing surface and impressed with its raw sensuality.

By painting the still life from a low viewpoint—as though one were seeing the fruit slices from just above the table top—Currier makes us feel that we are on the same level as the papaya’s large dripping seeds, throwing our sense of scale into limbo. When Currier addresses a still-life subject such as fruits, vegetables, or flowers, he starts with only the literal object in mind, but he is never satisfied by a factual depiction of his subjects. “I keep painting until they become more than what they are.” By the time he had finished Papaya, he was thinking of the fruit slices as “ships.” He works the same kind of alchemy on all his still Papaya (2002), Richard Currier 32 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

“The still lifes are a way for me to ground myself.

Putting something in front of me and arranging it, I’m not working out of my head [from imagination].” ence, an extension of his own inner dialogue with the art object. Generally speaking, he starts with “not a direct thought, but random disconnected concepts.” Through the act of painting, his once disconnected thoughts and feelings coalesce into a congruent whole. The process is intuitive, not logical, he explains, “The subject tells me how it wants to be done.”

Currier’s approach to still life painting would make sense to any painter of similar subject matter from Holland’s golden age. Seventeenth-century Dutch masters such as Pieter Claesz (c. 1597 – 1660) or Willem Claesz Heda (1594 – c. 1680) took pleasure in portraying sensuous material objects that always carried a deeper symbolic meaning. Unlike Currier, who pursues a wide range of subject matter—from landscapes to figurative works and self-portraits—with equal enthusiasm, many Dutch masters of the still life were specialists. Some depicted the most fragile and luscious blossoms; others could make a curling sliver of lemon skin seem as appealing as any precious metal. Whether painting seasonal flowers in full bloom, half-peeled citrus, sliced bread loaves, or Levitation Slice (2006), Richard Currier

life subjects. No longer inanimate objects, Currier’s papayas, peppers, and watermelons are transformed into something magical. His watermelons float weightlessly; his peppers bend like dancers; and his papaya slices sail into a deep landscape that would have pleased Salvador Dali.

Like the French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon, Currier leads us into an “ambiguous realm” where natural objects assume poetic identities. As we feast on the visual banquet that Currier serves up, we may 34 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE

wonder about the deeper meaning of this experience.

Asked to explain the purpose behind Papaya and his other paintings, Currier says that the best art never makes a closed-ended statement. In fact, he feels that the word “statement” is vastly overused when discussing the purpose of art. A more important objective in painting is to make queries that may not have clear answers: “Art, to me, is a big question. . .” He likes making images that create a give-and-take with his audi-

Still Life (1634), Willem Claesz Heda

freshly caught fish, these painters celebrated the material pleasures of life in all their fullness. At the same time, they reminded their viewers that death and life go hand in hand that all earthly things pass away. While denying any specific moralizing meaning, Currier admits that some of his images might convey a similar potential for change. “They are not necessarily perfect images . . . There may be a sense of demise, eventually.”

While Currier has found figurative and landscape subjects claiming more of his time and attention in recent years, he periodically returns to still life painting, because it provides him with an inner experience that is quite different from working with more imaginary or allegorical subject matter. “The still lifes are a way for me to ground myself. Putting something in front of me and arranging it, I’m not working out of my head [from imagination].”

Clearly, this talented Florida native knows how to keep his viewpoint fresh and relevant to contemporary concerns. In the last five years he has produced some overtly political paintings (human figures wrapped in flags) and turbulent, atmospheric wetland landscapes that speak to environmental issues. Just as his Papaya makes us see fresh potential in the traditional still life, we can look forward to new work by Richard Currier in other subject matter that will be equally thought provoking. And we can be certain that he will surprise us from time to time with another monumental portrait of a member of the vegetable kingdom.

Selections of modern and contemporary art from the museum’s permanent collection will remain on view through the end of Ringling Retro, November 1, 2009.

RADIO TELESCOPE from page 30

‘80s. The SRT at MOAS consists of a ten feet in diameter parabolic reflector (a directional antenna) located atop a twenty feet high pole outside of the museum’s planetarium.

Size is important in astronomical research instruments. In the same way that a twenty inch optical telescope has better resolution than a two inch telescope, a radio telescope with a one hundred foot diameter will collect much more detailed data than the MOAS ten foot diameter SRT. Even a relatively small SRT is a useful instrument that can collect valuable data. The data collection and instrument manipulation software for the SRT was developed and tested by astronomers and support staff at the MIT Haystack Observatory in Massachusetts. They operate much larger radio telescopes that use similar software.

Above: Members of the SRT installation team pictured with Charles Husbands and Wayne Atherholt (far right)

As the SRT project moves forward, we look to using the instrument in innovative ways: summer camp components for youth programs, student science fair projects, and undergraduate and graduate student experiments. It can be used to study both simple and complex scientific concepts: parabolas, amplification, azimuth, elevation, diffraction, rotation of our galaxy and other galaxies, measurement of hydrogen concentrations in our galaxy, measuring galactic Doppler shift, measurement of daily solar flux densities, and many more. Initially, access to the SRT for research projects will be limited to only the MOAS site. In the future, remote access for qualified users is a possibility.
