MOAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ANDREW SANDALL TOASTS THE WEST WING
DEAR FRIENDS, Upon frequent visits to the Museum of Arts & Sciences campus, visitors will notice an ever-evolving landscape. Whether it is the façade of ANDREW SANDALL the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art or the rapid ascent of the new Planetarium and changing exterior of the Root Family Museum trains, the Museum’s exterior and interior are undergoing a rapid transformation. Complete with a commemorative champagne toast, the state-of-theart West Wing rebuild is now well under way! The new West Wing will be rebuilt to the same higher elevation as the rest of the Museum – well above the flood plain – and is scheduled for completion in 2015. Excitingly, artworks from the West Wing galleries have been temporarily re-located in the North Wing’s Ford Gallery - and we hope you will come see some of your favorites in a new light. As the Museum rebuilds the West Wing with modern materials and equipment, as well as a contemporary design, so too will time-honored exhibits such as the Cuban Foundation Museum and the Center for Florida History be reinstalled with new designs and interpretations.
During this first part of construction, the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum is temporarily closed, and is scheduled to reopen the first week of June 2014. For updates on any of the construction projects, please check our website - www.moas.org The Museum’s annual Summer Learning Institute classes for 4-13 yearolds begins in June – you will find a full schedule as well as registration information in this issue of Arts & Sciences as well as at www.moas.org Nearer the end of the summer, we look forward to celebrating the opening of our new Planetarium with you. This state-of-the-art facility will allow us to present updated shows, and will improve visibility and offer extended openings in a modern venue. This will be the first of the construction projects to be completed. To thank you for your continued friendship and support, we invite each of our members to enjoy our special Member Appreciation Day on Saturday, April 26. Join us for a complimentary continental breakfast, a "Books by the Bag" sale, docent led tours and children's activities. See the calendar at www.moas.org for more details. We look forward to seeing you around the Museum during this exciting time of growth.

VOLUNTEER NEWS Her internship taught her a tremendous amount about museum sciences and operations, including each department’s role - Communication, Grants and Development, Education, Curatorial and Administrative as well as the valuable role of volunteers. She was amazed by the variety of topics featured in the Museum’s exhibits, events and programs, and was intrigued with the passion that everyone puts into his or her work. Whether it is about the Smithsonian Marine Station or the Florida Highwaymen, the curators and visiting speakers always demonstrate an extensive knowledge and years of experience in their fields and pass their enthusiasm onto the visitors.
“This experience at MOAS made me more aware of the scalability of exhibition, through a wide range of institutions, in a great team environment. I know now that artistic communication is mandatory to build one country’s or nation’s culture. ”

CONCEPTS AND CREATIVITY IN CUBAN AND AFRICAN ART BY CYNTHIA DUVAL, CHIEF CURATOR AND CURATOR OF DECORATIVE ARTS AND GARY R. LIBBY CURATOR OF ART
We have bid au revoir to Napoleon and now prepare the Ford Changing Exhibition Gallery to receive the Cuban Trust Collection of rare art and artworks for the duration of the building of our new West Wing. Alongside the Ford Gallery, in the "avenue" of the North Wing Corridor, we concurrently plan to install a selection of the MOAS African Collection. Juxtaposition of the creativity of these two rich cultures will provide a unique opportunity to compare and contrast history, artistry and vitality.

African tribal craftspeople have always been recognized through regional materials and style; their abstract iconography forms and usage thought to illustrate the concepts of individual tribal leaders. This very abstraction became a springboard to modernism for Pablo Picasso, who first encountered African artistry at a late 19th century Parisian Exposition for international arts. He could not tear himself away; “I stayed, O, I stayed…,” he is quoted as saying, “…but the smell, O the smell.” There was a rich dung-like atmosphere in the building, many of the sculptural objects included untreated animal skin and human and animal hair, plastered with mucus, even animal excretion. His "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon" of 1907 (The Young Ladies of Avignon, a red light district in Barcelona), illustrates the great effect these abstracted artifacts had upon him - a seminal moment in the European modern art movement. The images he painted of the “young ladies” an euphemism for prostitutes - were very obviously inspired by African tribal masks of the kind used for celebration, war and power; to conceal the individual and inspire fear, to mark young female and male initiation into adulthood, to drive away demon gods, or welcome in the cropenhancing sun and rain. Contrary to the creative shock and artistic awakening experienced by Picasso on his first exposure to the vitality of African art and its subsequent influence on the Avant Garde European art world, African ethnographical statuary had no effect on the far-away art world of Cuba whose artistic precepts over time evolved from the continued on page 10

inspired works of Europe’s Great Masters. This is exemplified by the earliest work in the collection: an image of the Coronation of the Virgin by Nicolas de la Escalara (17341804), followed by the elegant Colonial period with a portrait of a member of Cuba’s aristocracy by Vincente Escobar (1757-1834), all the way to the sugar-andtobacco-wealthy 19th century with such paintings as Estoban Chartrand's "Witches Hut" (1879), and Antonio Rodriquez Morey’s "Symphony in Green" (1899). The heart of the Cuban Foundation holdings at MOAS however, is the rich diversity of its 20th century works which exemplify not only the academic style, including portraits, landscapes and still lifes, but also the experimental and romantic, as in Mario Carreño’s "Setting Sun" and Daniel Serra-Badue's "Cuban Sweets." In spite of the influx of Africans into Cuba over the previous centuries introduced as forced labor for the plantations - their rich heritage was firmly suppressed, perhaps only visible in the vitality of Cuba’s performing arts with its pulsating Afro-Cuban musical rhythms.
Setting Sun, Mario Carreño
Only the four small and diverse 18th century portraits in the gallery by an unknown artist illustrate Cuba’s emerging integration of ethnicity, through careful rendering of individualized features, costume and pose. ∞

OVER AND OUT
BY: SETH MAYO, CURATOR OF ASTRONOMY
A STAR IS REBORN
For the last 42 years, generations of audience members have been immersed in the wonders of the Universe through the MOAS Planetarium. This unique and “stellar” facility has been an essential part of this organization: helping to underscore the term “science,” in the Museum of Arts & Sciences name. Like all good things, the current Planetarium has come to its end with its final show on March 30th, 2014 - closing one chapter and starting a new one with the eventual opening of the brand new facility later this year.

hile NASA was still daring to ferry astronauts to the moon during the Apollo era, the original Planetarium opened its doors in 1971 in what was a small, up-and-coming Museum in Daytona Beach. Spanning 40 feet across (medium sized in the planetarium world), the Planetarium's iconic dome screen was built of reinforced plaster that hung from a hexagonal enclosure. Funded by the Volusia County School District, this hemispherical screen became the backdrop to the heavens above. 120 Seats were concentrically placed around the floor to provide guests a full view of the dome. Stationed prominently in the middle of the seating area like a space-faring craft, was the original Goto Viewlex Venus star projector. This simple yet mechanically complex machine projected the vast array of stars, planets, the sun and moon accurately on the dome with tiny points of light. In what now seems like truly ancient tech, slide projectors were the goto device that provided stunning astronomical images along with
custom projectors that were able to display a whole array of effects, such as a meteor shooting by or the violent flash of a supernova. This eclectic mix of technology allowed the Museum to tour audiences, young and old, through the night sky, teaching the fundamental concepts of astronomy and inspiring many to pursue an interest in science. This mission of science education became paramount at MOAS through the Planetarium after its opening, placing it in high regard in the community and also acting as adjunct classroom for Volusia County for the numerous excited school children on field trips. Fast forward to 1988, and things really began to transform for MOAS. In a sad firework of sparks, the Goto Viewlex Venus star projector met its demise after close to 17 years of dedicated service. The Volusia County School District stepped in by purchasing a repurposed star projector for close to half a million dollars. This newer analog machine from Minolta (now Konica Minolta) called the MS-10, boosted the Planetarium's view of the continued on page 26

The new layout will provide a waiting/exhibit area for the Planetarium as well as an accessible entrance from inside and outside the building. heavens above with a pristine star field that also endured until the final show. The number of seats were cut down to 96 to make way for an improved layout and upgraded slide projectors and advanced computers were installed that laid the framework for automated shows. Its central computer - a Dell Pentium II purchased in 1994 - was state-of-the-art at the time. This computer allowed 'canned shows' to run off a tape that cued specific slides and projectors through the countless holes that dotted the Planetarium’s perimeter wall. For years these automated slide shows covered a plethora of concepts in astronomy like the telescopic adventures of More than Meets the Eye, Light Years from Andromeda, and the ever popular holiday show Tis' the Season. Along with daily night sky tours, the slide-based programs were shown to countless audiences into the new millennium. Astronomy and science were not the only focus for the MOAS Planetarium throughout its storied history. Laser shows have wowed audiences for decades with colorful projections of light coupled with the latest rock music. Beginning in the 1980s, the Planetarium became a test bed for new laser technologies that evolved quickly. Early on, the planetarium operator would assume the role of a “Laser DJ,” manually controlling the kaleidoscopelike laser effects in tune with the music. This job was a creative task for the operator, allowing them to infuse their imagination and creativity into each and every laser show. Computer control of
the lasers was eventually adopted and a partnership developed with Audio Visual Imagineering (AVI), an Orlandobased company that builds and produces laser equipment and content. The most advanced laser equipment to date for the Museum came in 2006 with the purchase of the SkyLase from AVI. An entire library of shows could be played from a hard drive and through this entirely digital laser projector, the music of hit bands such as the Beatles, Metallica, Pink Floyd, and U2 would play in sequence with the 3D-like effects of the lasers. Along with tremendous successes, throughout the years, there were also hardships for the Planetarium to overcome. In 2007, due to budget constraints, Volusia County was not able to fund the MOAS Planetarium as an adjunct classroom. Even though field trips were no longer free for the area’s public schools, many teachers still booked the Planetarium on their field trips – illustrating its importance in educating the community. Further complications came in 2009 when a massive storm dumped more than 27 inches of rain in the area, severely flooding the West Wing where the Planetarium was situated. The flood waters saturated the Planetarium’s carpeted floors and damaged the projectors that lined the walls. The Planetarium was closed for 6 months while repairs were made on the West Wing. Although the water destroyed a significant part of the Planetarium, much of the backbone equipment remained intact, allowing only star and
laser shows to be held from then on. The proverbial stars aligned when the Museum was granted FEMA funding and a generous Volusia ECHO grant to rebuild the West Wing and the Planetarium. The new Planetarium will enjoy a new location in between the Root Train Car shed and Root Auditorium. The new layout will provide a waiting/ exhibit area for the Planetarium as well as an accessible entrance from inside and outside the building. The relationship with AVI has gotten even stronger as they are now the prime contractors that will provide the stateof-the-art digital planetarium projector, dubbed OmniStar. This projector will not only display a beautiful and realistic night sky, but will also enable the Museum to explore the entire Universe and keep up-to-date on the most current research taking place from just one fisheye lens – a far cry from the Planetarium’s early days. Full dome HD Planetarium programs will take audiences on journeys only imagined and the daily show schedule will be expanded. The SkyLase projector will be placed in the new facility as well, continuing our laser music shows in the new and improved setting. A new 40-foot dome will be constructed and built by AstroTec, and will be made of perforated aluminum that significantly improves sound and visual quality and new seating, provided by Greystone, will provide a comfortable view. Moving from the old facility and into the new, there are many proud moments to look back on, but also many to plan for the future. This next chapter will only serve to inspire the next generations of audience members for decades and will hopefully leave a lasting memory on them. Come by our new Planetarium when it opens in late summer to be a part of this new era!
