2023 A LOOK BACK

Dear Friends,

I look back at 2023 with great pride in our accomplishments and with poise towards next year and beyond. 2023 has been a year of continued institutional foundation building with great investments in our staff, buildings, IT, and collections. Very excitingly, it has been a year of applying what we learned from the COVID 19 pandemic and racial uprisings that confronted cultural institutions across the nation with core questions around purpose, relevance, and safety.

At the Speed, we took the opportunity in the summer of 2022 to begin the museum’s first comprehensive strategic planning process in several years. In the past 18 months of boards and staff co-creating our new strategic plan, we debated how our mission statement, “invite everyone to celebrate art forever” does, or should look like in practice. Our conversations about this question have remained at the forefront of our minds. We view it as an institutional imperative as well as a valuable creative exercise, challenging ourselves to design new ways to make the museum an inviting and welcoming space of community belonging; to continually expand the communities to whom we are extending the invitation; and to rethink how we are inviting visitors to engage with the museum, our collections, space, and programs.

The past year, we took a few deliberate steps towards broadening our invitation into the museum. Our Rounding the Circle: The Mary and Al Shands Collection was a gorgeous installation of one of the most significant collections of contemporary art ever gifted to the Speed. It is a collection that brings together many extraordinary Kentucky artists with artists from around the globe celebrating both artists from home and abroad in equal measures. Mary and Al Shand’s unparalleled bequest of art to our museum corroborated the importance of the Speed as a Kentucky arts organization both supporting local talent and bringing international artists to the Commonwealth.

Of equal importance was Louisville’s Black Avant-Garde: Robert L. Douglas, the first exhibition in a series of 6 culminating in a major project in 2027 of artists that were part of the Black Avant-garde in Louisville. This curatorial initiative of exhibitions and publications is designed to produce scholarship and draw critical attention to Louisville as a historically and culturally significant arts ecosystem led by Black artists between 1950 - 1980. We are humbled and thrilled to share this important aspect of the cultural history of our city.

Furthermore, and critically important to fostering a sense of belonging for marginalized communities, we are complementing our collections with critical “truth and acknowledgement” research and interpretation that sheds light on the dark side of Western civilization, progress, and domination. In our Kentucky Gallery, the exhibition The Bitter and the Sweet: Kentucky Sugar Chests, Enslavement, and the Transatlantic World 1790-1865 re-examines the Kentucky sugar chest—an antique object often shrouded in nostalgia and

appreciation for craftsmanship—within the broader, intertwined contexts of the Trans-Atlantic trade economy of the time, with its vicious human toll of enslavement, and complex transportation and merchant systems that brought sugar to Kentucky.

We have continued our significant undertaking of re-installing our galleries and had the opportunity to acquire important works of art from diverse makers across time and geographies, including Henry Gudgell’s Walking Stick (previous, page 92), Chiffon Thomas’s Uvea, and a once-known Peruvian artist’s portrait of Saint Martin de Porres (right, page 95). Complementing this shift in curatorial practice, our Learning, Engagement, and Belonging team has leaned into an interpretive framework of “mirror/window/door” that is shaping our approach to visitor materials, exhibition text, and overarching experiential goals: art can act as a mirror, where we see ourselves reflected; a window into a new world, opening our minds to new perspectives; and a door, helping us transform as human beings. On a practical level, this has included providing resources for contemplative practice, such as guided journaling exercises and open-ended prompts throughout the galleries. In doing so, we aim to invite visitors in with a varied array of interpretations and points

of engagement to discover what resonates or sparks their interest, prioritizing their own experience, personal inquiry, and growth as much as the knowledge shared traditionally in the museum context.

Finally, we hosted the ground planting celebration for the Speed Art Park, a major milestone that will transform the 3 acres around the museum into a new green space filled with native plants, comfortable seating, and our growing collection of outdoor sculptures. Free and open to the public 24/7/365, our new ungated art park will take “open invitation” to another level, creating the ability for community members to view and engage with works from our collection at any hour, at no cost, beyond the physical walls that obscure the galleries from passersby.

Our new Speed Art Park is intended as a welcoming destination for the whole community to connect with art, nature, and each other, creating art-filled spaces for contemplation and recreation alongside wellness-focused programs like yoga, meditation, and outdoor learning.

None of our initiatives are possible without the generous support of our many members, donors, sponsors, and daily visitors. We are grateful beyond measure for your tremendous generosity. The Speed comes to life through and with all of you and your belief in our institution makes us who we are today.

Warmly,

Raphaela Platow, Director of the Speed Art Museum

A MUSEUM FOR EVERYONE

Learning and Engagement programs at the Speed allow guests of all ages to discover the power of art and creativity. From guided tours to workshops and summer camps, the Speed provides something for everyone.

School and Teacher Programs

In our first full year of offering in-person K-12 school tours postCOVID-19, the Speed engaged 3,156 students in guided and self-guided tours at the Museum, an increase of 215% from the 2021-2022 school year. This engagement success is a significant first step toward meeting our Strategic Plan goal of meeting or exceeding pre-pandemic school engagement by 2027. Surveys of teachers following these experiences showed us how impactful they were: “Some of my students had never been to a museum before…The experience changed them, and they were excited to get back and create.” “My students LOVED the field trip. They were so inspired and talked about the trip for the rest of the school year.”

According to those surveys, 92% of students were engaged with learning activities such as exploration of the interactive Art Sparks gallery. 92% of teachers said the Museum visit inspired their group, reinforced skill development and classroom learning, and supported the development of critical thinking skills and creativity.

Our school engagement team reinvigorated our Art Detectives program this year to rave reviews from teachers: “I loved the hands-on approach to investigation with the white gloves.” “This program provides an opportunity for our students who may not get many chances to visit a museum.” 1,127 JCPS elementary students experienced the Art Detectives program at ten Title I elementary school sites participating in the summer JCPS Backpack League, through support from Brown-Forman Foundation. Over four hours of programming at each site, Teaching Artists used the STEAM crate to explore objects and provided art-making materials for hands-on creative activities. Chris Burba, Director of Title I, II, and IV and Summer Programming at JCPS commented, “I love, love, love this partnership! Thank you for joining us this summer.”

In August and September 2023, thanks to support from Caesar’s Foundation, the Speed served 863 students in 36 Fourth Grade classes across Floyd County. “Art Detectives gave my students a chance to learn about important history by using a hands-on experience, making the learning more fun/interesting for them. They had a great time with this activity!” -Teacher from Grant Line Elementary. The Speed’s Teaching Artists brought Art Detectives crates containing artworks and

“Art Detectives helps students to be curious, ask questions, and investigate.”

other objects to all nine Floyd County elementary schools, engaging students in a fun introduction to the study of material and visual culture. Students thought more deeply about the objects, looked for clues about the origin and purpose of the objects and how the objects were made, and worked with other students to find answers.

As additional ways to support teachers, we continued collaborating with the Curatorial team and area teachers to develop and test K-12 curriculum units and make high-resolution photographs of the Speed collection available to teachers so they can explore art with their students in their classrooms. The Speed’s Teacher Professional Development Workshops during the 2022-2023 focused on Social Emotional Learning (SEL), through topics such as “Relaxation and Abstract Art,” “What Makes You So Spectacular?”, and “Repurposed on Purpose.” Each workshop had the goals of providing teachers with a classroom-ready activity featuring a specific art-making process and a focused SEL strategy to help students and teachers reflect and develop ways of supporting themselves and each other. We also welcomed 701 university students to the Museum for tours and conversations around the Speed collection and special exhibitions.

Youth and Family Programs

To provide early experiences with art and opportunities for families to connect with each other, we reinvigorated early childhood and family programs at the Speed early in fiscal year 2023. These programs also connect with our Strategic Plan goal to expand opportunities for lifelong learners, families, youth, and audiences who are not currently engaged with the Speed. We presented our first Family Day at the

Speed in December 2023 and have continued to welcome families for seasonal celebrations during which multi-generational families spend time together enjoying activities like scavenger hunts through the galleries, art-making activities, performances, storytelling, exhibit tours, and family Chat Spots. Our family programming also included participating in the 2023 Louisville Cultural Pass and presenting a special Summer Family Night in July.

Beginning in February 2023, we started offering Baby Playdates on the first Wednesday and Toddler Takeover on the second Wednesday of each month. Through surveys, parents have shared that they value these programs because they offer opportunities for their kids to interact with other kids; experience the art at the Speed; and enjoy sensory and tactile activities, movement-based games, and art making. Through the year, 346 parents and children attended one of the programs and each month we continue to see regular attendees, along with a steady increase in new families joining the fun.

Five, week-long summer day camps offered a variety of fun, handson activities that encourage youth and teens to be creative thinkers, bold art makers, and playful collaborators. Campers interacted with practicing artists, spent time in the Speed galleries, and showcased their personal creativity to their families and the Speed team. Make a Mural campers got to paint directly on the walls in the Art Sparks classrooms. “I was a little bit nervous to meet people, but I just knew it was going to be fine because I was just going to be doing what I love,” said Sadaya Smith, a participant in the Make a Mural Camp. The Intro to Animation campers got to screen their films on the big screen in the Speed Cinema. And the Teen Portfolio Intensive participants got a head start on artistic and college applications,

with lasting impact. To expand the inclusion and sense of belonging for the camps and welcome additional communities, we increased the number of scholarships offered to young participants, making it possible for 12 youth to participate in a camp at no cost. This included three teens from the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs who participated in the Teen Portfolio Intensive due to a new partnership with that organization.

“I thought it would be great to get this opportunity to work with them, especially with kids from all over the city and Kentucky. They came up with their own designs, we all did a design workshop, so they all created different pictures and something they wanted to see.” -Jaylin Stewart, Make a Mural Camp instructor.

Teen and Adult Programs

Attendance for our monthly Clothed Figure Drawing series has steadily increased through FY2023. This coincided with program adjustments made to increase the diversity of representation in the models and make unique connections to Speed exhibitions and collection. Connecting with the Global Speed Lecture Series on Japan, we partnered with Japan America Society of Kentucky (JASK) to offer special sessions of Clothed Figure Drawing. Local drag queen Chyna Versace modeled for the June session. The September session was inspired by our exhibition, Louisville’s Black Avant-Garde: Robert L. Douglas, and offered a unique Clothed Figure Drawing experience related to Douglas’ works Clothed Sinobia: I’m Thinking of You and Nude Sinobia: Now I’m Only Thinking of Me to shed light on the duality of his work as an artist, mentor, and thinker. The updated approach to this program has also helped us to

strengthen existing community partnerships and begin relationships to reach new audiences.

We have also welcomed new presenters and strengthened connections to Speed exhibitions for the Adult Workshop series, which provides opportunities for participants 16 years and older to explore their creative side and learn new art making skills. This includes a collaboration with No More Red Dots; Studio Sessions with Letita Quesenberry and Vian Sora, two artists featured in Rounding the Circle: The Mary and Al Shands Collection; and an exploration of portraiture with Lance G. Newman II, connected with the exhibition Louisville’s Black Avant-Garde: Robert L. Douglas. Adult guests and families can also connect with their creative sides during After Hours by participating in our open studio artmaking activity that connects with the event theme and offers fun for all ages.

We have continued our rewarding partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association to present Memories at the Museum, a monthly program for those living with early- and middle-stage memory loss and their care partners. This meaningful program that combines a tour of a gallery or special exhibition with a hands-on artmaking activity reaches those in our community who benefit from tapping into their own creativity, along with social connections with others.

During this period, the Learning, Engagement, and Belonging team also created new approaches to gallery interpretation at the Speed. For the special exhibition, Rounding the Circle: The Mary and Alfred Shands Collection, we created audio content to share multiple voices and perspectives, designed a gallery guide and a children’s activity book, and created three response walls across the Museum

for guests to share their thoughts and experiences. In addition to the drop-in Collection Highlights Tours led by our Docents that guests of all ages enjoy, we began a new program in October 2022 called Speed Chat Spots to encourage informal conversation in the galleries. Each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2-3pm one or more Speed Docents wearing large “Let’s Chat!” buttons welcome guests to the galleries and invite them into conversation about the exhibitions. This program has been popular with Docents and guests alike!

To facilitate reflection and conversation around the exhibition, Amy Sherald’s Portrait of Breonna Taylor: In the Garden, we partnered with Mental Health Lou and No More Red Dots Peace Through the Arts team to present two series of programs in the exhibition. The first, Celebrate You Sundays, offered guests the chance to explore their internal landscape through a guided meditation workshop, followed by an open-ended participatory art-making experience. Inspired by Felix Gonzales-Torres’ work on view in this installation, guests created rubbings of inspirational statements to keep and share with others. The second series, Community Conversations, were drop-in conversations facilitated by Mental Health Lou intended to support members of our community in learning and healing together.

EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING

Community Days

Community Days are a celebration of art, culture, and people that occurs on the last Sunday of each month. Community Days bring artist-led sessions, music performances, explorations of Speed exhibitions, and other unique experiences to guests. Over fiscal year 2023, Community Day topics included: a Dia de los Muertos event; a New Year celebration featuring the creation of vision boards and self-care exercises; a celebration of Black culture centered around the exhibition Kentucky Women: Helen LaFrance; a celebration of Women’s History Month; the opening celebration for the exhibition Space for Belonging: I Am Here; two events centered on the exhibition Amy Sherald’s Portrait of Breonna Taylor: In the Garden that featured Louisville artists Braylyn Resko Stewart and Sara Noori who created a site-specific mural for this installation; and Aflora 2023 at the Speed, presented with La Casta Center.

Cultural Gallery Experiences

Cultural Gallery Experiences for schools and community partners occur throughout the year at the Speed. These experiences are planned with groups that have a certain cultural topic of interest or need that could be served by the experience. These programs can be tours only or can include specific art experiences for the

students. Programming this year included an indepth experience for students at W.E.B. DuBois Academy with teachers from AA Clay Ceramics Studio and multiple “Beyond the CROWN” experiences at the Speed for students from Grace James Academy.

Platinum Collective

Community Connections is an umbrella of programming that gives a platform to marginalized and underrepresented voices through artmaking. The Platinum Collective is a community of energetic and curious people (aged 55+) who connect over art, shared experiences, and conversation. In 2023, the Speed engaged the Platinum Collective in a series of eight-week jewelry-making workshops that culminated in a public event at the Speed. Each session, held either at the Speed or at the Americana Center, included a light lunch and time for socializing, along with the instruction and jewelry-making, providing opportunities for the participants to connect with others while learning a new creative process and then sharing pride in their creations. The jewelry workshops led to new and deeper friendships, along with continuing connections to the Speed. Many of the participants shared that the “biggest takeaway” for them were the friendships they forged during the program. The

culminating event was a warm, intimate gathering and the space was filled with a sense of delight from the participants in seeing each other, meeting family members, and showing off their creations. The teachers also prioritized providing inclusive learning environments for all students and incorporating flexibility into their teaching methods to meet participants’ access needs. Participants shared that the experience gave them: “friendship, joy, a chance to not think about cancer treatments, challenge, a mental vacation, art therapy, sharing ideas, amusement, compassion, and revitalization.”

Speed For All

The only program of its kind, Speed for All is our unique and highly successful membership program that provides a free family Museum membership to anyone for whom cost is a barrier. Speed for All is an important part of inviting everyone to the Museum. This signature membership program expands access to the Museum and allows us to reach more people, diversify our audience, and create relevant and engaging programming for a wide range of communities. Speed for All is an opportunity to build lasting relationships with our community by not only providing free admission, but inviting all members to return year-round for events, exhibitions, and programs.

PROGRAMMING

After Hours

Music. Drinks. Art. After Hours shined in 2023 with unique performances and community partnerships.

January kicked off the year with the final days to view Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau

Visionary with over 1000 guests in attendance. The event included a performance by Sky Creature, a movement, visual art, and music experience. Throughout the year, musical performances by local and out-of-state performers headlined each month’s event. Some highlighted performances included local acts Producing a Kind Generation, DJ Always, Phourist and the Photons, and Roadie. We welcomed New Orleans based Trumpeter and composer Jelani Bauman, and Texas based Bobby Falk Contemporary Jazz for their album release. June was a 90’s themed night where many guests came dressed for the occasion and enjoyed the opportunity to get on stage and sing with Full Contact Karaoke. December ended the year with a highly anticipated Prom theme. Guests came ready to dance the night away with DJ JohnQ, enjoyed gallery talks in Stories Retold: American Art from the Princeton University Art Museum, and taking their photo to commemorate their night.

In 2023 we were able to partner with artists, community partners, and local businesses.

Performances and collaborations included Redline Performing Arts, local artist panel talks, Lipstick Wars, Asia Institute Crane House, Ambo Dance theater, University of Louisville Cultural Center, and more.

Lecture Series

Lecture series were presented on our 1st Thursdays and free Sundays for all to attend and enjoy. In 2023 the Global Speed series featured Japan. Speakers included Miwako Tezuka who spoke on a variety of Japanese artists and the “making-of” the field of postwar Japanese art and its continuing impact on the world of Art History.

Mira Locher from the University of Manitoba also joined us for a historical review of Zen Gardens in Japan. To round out the series Janice Katz presented on the Japanese print collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

In August we hosted local artist, Vian Sora in conversation with Contemporary Curator Tyler Blackwell for the Alfred R. Shands III and Mary N. Shands Master Series. The audience enjoyed learning more about Vian Sora’s start in her career in Iraq and how it continues to evolve now that she calls Louisville home.

In September, the Adele and Leonard Leight Series: Art, Design and Innovation hosted Susie Silbert, an independent curator and writer in the glass field. Her lecture shared how artists use the power of reflection to reanimate Indian craft traditions that have been lost over time, interpreting movement in the glass shops as hip hop, and building community through glassblowing.

Additional talks this year included a presentation from Current Speed Artist, Sky Hopinka and a conversational talk on Louisville’s Black Avant Garde: Professor Robert L. Douglas with moderator, Jabani Bennet and professors from University of Louisville David Anderson and Brandon McCormick.

EXHIBITIONS

Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau Visionary

October 21, 2022 – January 22, 2023

Czech-born Alphonse Mucha (1860 – 1939) was one of the most celebrated artists in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. As an influential force behind the art nouveau movement, he created sumptuous posters and advertising—promoting such everyday products as cigarette papers and tea biscuits—that transformed the streets of Paris into open-air art exhibitions. Alphonse Mucha:

Art Nouveau Visionary celebrated the Mucha Trust Collection’s first major U.S. tour in 20 years, featuring a vast array of posters, illustrations, ornamental objects, and rarely seen sculpture, photographs, and self-portraits.

EXHIBITIONS

Current Speed: Sky Hopinka

November 16, 2022 – February 19, 2023

For this installation, the Speed presented three major film works made by Hopinka over the last six years: I’ll Remember You As You Were, not as What You’ll Become (2016), Lore (2019), and Mnemonics of Shape and Reason (2021). These fantastical, abstracted videos urge us to consider our own relationships to life, landscape, and memory as colorfully romantic, somewhat delirious contemplations assembled on both digital and 16mm film. Hopinka’s works sometimes veer towards experiments in evoking nostalgia, made more potent by intermittent threads of poetic text or historical prose. He is deeply invested in language as a cultural signifier and tool; his films sometimes feature words in Chinuk Wawa (an endangered pidgin “trade” language that originated in the Pacific Northwest in the 19th century) or Ho-Chunk. The artist has said “Indigenous art is the art of the indescribable things that you can’t think of in English. The meaning isn’t the shape of words, but rather it’s found in those crevices between the facts and the information we’ve been taught to understand of ourselves, those slick spaces where the spirit slips through that I don’t have the words for, that you don’t have the words for. All the things that surprise us—by not only our humanity, but the humanity of others.”

Current Speed is a new series of changing contemporary art exhibitions that introduces the Kentuckiana community to new and emerging artists as well as celebrated mid-career artists previously underrecognized in the region. The Current Speed exhibition series is initiated and organized by Tyler Blackwell, Curator of Contemporary Art at Speed Art Museum.

Kentucky Women: Helen LaFrance

August 26, 2022 – April 30, 2023

Gathering together works drawn from the Speed’s collection and private loans, Kentucky Women: Helen LaFrance explored the art and life of this remarkable artist. LaFrance documented her western Kentucky rural and small-town experiences, rooted in Mayfield and around Graves County. Her sense-memory paintings feature moments recalled from everyday life: church picnics, shared meals, parades, and quilting bees. Working across a variety of mediums, including collage, sculpture, painting, and dollmaking, LaFrance’s vibrant and life-affirming artwork documents a century’s worth of Kentucky living.

Space for Belonging: I Am Here

April 30, 2023 – June 4, 2023

Space for Belonging: I Am Here is an exhibition that explores the power of sharing your personal story. ‘I Am Here,’ is a bold declaration that demands a claim to the space in which an individual stands. Throughout this digital photography exhibition, led by visual storyteller, T.A. Yero, participants explored the craft of storytelling through still photographs. Lighting, composition, and movement can visually give words to our lives, and they paint stories that intrigue and engage many. During this 8-week art program participants were able to see how their unique stories also find ways to intersect with others in theme and acquaintance. This exhibition series extends an invitation to relate and respond to the photographs that paint the narrative of others’ lived experiences.

Through the Community Connections program, the Speed Art Museum seeks to positively impact our community by creating artistic platforms that amplify the voice of individuals and groups that have been largely unheard of. We do this by strengthening our connection with others by building reciprocal relationships based on shared understanding and compassion.

Rounding the Circle: The Mary and Al Shands Collection

March 24, 2023 – August 6, 2023

Rounding the Circle: The Mary and Al Shands Collection celebrated the extensive and significant collection of contemporary artworks assembled by the late Alfred R. Shands III (1928-2021) and Mary Norton Shands (1930-2009). This presentation also commemorated the transformative gift of art made to the Speed Art Museum, numbering over 100 artworks.

It was Al Shands’s wish that the contemporary art collection he and his late wife, Mary, amassed at their Great Meadows estate in Crestwood, Kentucky be displayed together in a public exhibition before being dispersed to museums across the state. In this way, he sought not only a closure to the collection’s life at Great Meadows, but also a bridge to the works’ future lives in other contexts. Shands, a former Episcopalian priest, hoped to mount an exhibition that would be dynamic but also contemplative—a place where museum visitors could be inspired and explore what meaning the works could spark in their own lives.

Artists in the exhibition included such renowned figures as Anish Kapoor, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Siah Armajani, Petah Coyne, Olafur Eliasson, Elizabeth Murray, Afredo Jaar, Betty Woodman, Sol LeWitt, and Tony Cragg, alongside leading Kentucky artists such as Vian Sora, Cynthia Norton, Kiah Celeste, and Sandra Charles.

Louisville’s Black Avant-Garde: Robert L. Douglas

June 30, 2023 – October 1, 2023

Robert L. Douglas (1934-2023), Professor Emeritus at the University of Louisville, was a visual artist, community organizer, teacher, and mentor to generations of artists and thinkers. Featuring paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures, this exhibition presented rarely seen work from throughout the artist’s career, demonstrating the breadth of his artistic practice and depth of his impact locally and regionally.

The exhibition was organized by the Speed Art Museum and curated by Dr. fari nzinga, Curator of Academic Engagement and Special Projects at the Speed, with support from Sarah Battle, Coordinator of Academic Programs and Publications, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, whose oral history research project, Painting a Legacy: the Black Artistic Community in Louisville, 1950s-1970s, provided a scholarly foundation for the exhibition.

Through a generous donation from Eleanor Bingham Miller, general admission to the Museum was free Wednesdays through Saturdays for the duration of Louisville’s Black Avant-Garde:

Kentucky Women: Alma Wallace Lesch

May 19 – October 29, 2023

Kentucky Women: Alma Wallace Lesch explored the wide-ranging, fiber-based artistic practice of Alma Wallace Lesch (1917-1999) through the themes that defined her work: ruminations on place, memory, nature, faith, female identity, and creative experimentation. The exhibition featured significant works by the artist from the Speed’s collection, including a massive nine-foot-tall by fifteen-foot-wide wall hanging, Full Bloom (1966), originally created as commission for Louisville’s former First Lincoln National Bank. Other exceptional pieces came from the holdings of the University of Louisville and from a private collection.

Born in western Kentucky’s McCracken County, Lesch learned as a child the familiar needle arts of quilting, embroidery, and sewing. Working as a professional fiber artist beginning in the 1960s, she took these traditional skills, as well as those of weaving and vegetable dyeing, and transformed them to create complex, richly layered compositions that quickly gained her national and international recognition.

Lesch became especially well-known for her collaged fabric portraits. Making innovative use of found and reworked materials, she created faceless, abstracted compositions that frequently centered women as strong, independent figures within the small-town life familiar to Lesch. Her explorations of female identity were only one aspect of her continual experimentation; throughout the works in the exhibition, one experiences her endlessly creative combinations of pattern, texture, and color.

Lesch’s further contributions to art and artists came through her role as a lifelong educator. Beginning as an elementary school teacher, she returned to college in her forties to receive an M.Ed. at the University of Louisville with a focus on fiber. Afterward, she taught at the late Louisville School of Art from 1961 to 1978 and at the University of Louisville from 1975 to 1982.

¡Afloramos!

March 18 – August 21, 2022

¡Afloramos! Una exhibictión de artistas latinx | An exhibit of Latinx artists We are here and we FLOURISH! Curated by Ada Asenjo.

The Latinx community is often seen as a homogenous entity. We are, in fact, quite diverse. Each country has its own flavor, and though we may be similar, each is quite distinct. Some of us have lived in the US for many years and are adept at code-switching. Some have just arrived and struggle with adapting. All of us are here and continuously interacting with the differences within our community as well as dealing with the different cultural values of the greater society and North American sensibilities. Despite this, we cultivate a sense of place because the land on which we stand roots us, and therefore we FLOURISH!

This exhibition consisted of multi-varied expressions of who we are, expressions of our heritage, the longings of our souls, and our heart’s desires. This has been the goal of Aflora which started at La Casita Center in 2019 as an organic movement that gathered talented artists from the Latinx diaspora in an effort to empower our people as we decolonize art. In 2022 a grant from the Curate

Purchase Inspire program of Louisville Visual Art allowed us to establish a permanent exhibit in the “events building” at La Casita. This building, previously an unused Catholic school gym, is alive with the energy of those that move in its midst. The art in this exhibit will now accompany those individuals and families who come for assistance, as well as those fighting for positive and life-enhancing systemic changes.

Amy Sherald’s Portrait of Breonna Taylor: In the Garden

June 7 – November 26, 2023

In the Garden was a special installation centered around Amy Sherald’s portrait of the late Breonna Taylor. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was murdered by Louisville Metro Police officers who illegally entered her apartment in March 2020. In the wake of this event and other violent instances like the Minneapolis murder of George Floyd, massive protests demanding justice and renewed social equality for Black and brown bodies commenced across the world.

Sherald’s painting of Breonna Taylor was originally commissioned for Vanity Fair magazine’s September 2020 issue as a public memorial to Taylor’s life and the ongoing quest for social justice. In 2021, the portrait was jointly acquired by the Speed Art Museum in Louisville and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

In the Garden, which was sited throughout Galleries 1-2, was a special presentation mounted to invite reflection, dialogue, and community contemplation. This installation, which also featured artworks by leading contemporary artists Anthony Akinbola, Firelei Báez, Andrea Bowers, María Magdalena Campos-Pons, vanessa german, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ebony G. Patterson, Nari Ward, T.A. Yero, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, explored themes of loss, joy, injustice, growth, and sorrow. Comprised of collection artworks and special loans, it was partially inspired by “Breonna’s Garden,” a virtual reality experience co-created by Ju’Niyah Palmer, Breonna Taylor’s younger sister. In addition, Louisville artists Braylyn Resko Stewart and Sara Noori were invited to create a site-specific mural for this installation. Amy Sherald’s Portrait of Breonna Taylor: In the Garden was developed with significant guidance from Breonna Taylor’s family.

Throughout the course of this installation, the Speed offered public and community programming around the topics of personal healing, gun violence, and empowerment.

Stories Retold: American Art from the Princeton University Art Museum

September 29, 2023 – January 7, 2024

This prestigious loan exhibition was an opportunity to present the best of the celebrated collections of American art from the Princeton University Art Museum. Nearly one hundred works spanning four centuries of American art history were showcased in a wide-ranging exhibition that examined how the meanings of objects change over time, and in different contexts. Museum collections slowly evolve over the decades to reflect shifting priorities and perspectives, and as a result, objects and artworks are considered and presented in ever-changing ways. Stories

Retold: American Art from the Princeton University Art Museum revealed many of the fascinating, challenging, and even controversial stories that have been told about these artworks over time – and offered us compelling new ways of seeing these works to reflect the times in which we now live.

This exhibition was made possible by the leadership support of the Terra Foundation for American Art and organized by the Princeton University Art Museum.

Sam Gilliam (1933 – 2022)

September 16, 2022 – February 18, 2024

In honor of his recent passing, the museum has dedicated a gallery to displaying the works of the eminent abstractionist, Sam Gilliam. The installation, Sam Gilliam (1933 – 2022) is a celebration of his life and legacy as a Louisville-bred, world-renowned figure in modern and contemporary art. Gilliam transgressed boundaries, rejected convention and in the process taught us all how to see and think about art and life in new and more challenging ways. Featuring five career-spanning examples of Gilliam’s work from the museum’s permanent collection, the installation highlights Gilliam’s groundbreaking explorations of intense color, improvisational techniques, and geometric elements that meld painting with sculptural form.

GROWING & CARING FOR THE COLLECTION

Its permanent collection is the cornerstone of much of a museum’s work. It reflects the spirit and values of the organization, inspires creativity and reflection, provides a meaningful and familiar touchstone to regular museumgoers, and excites and engages fledgling art lovers. In many ways, a collection is an organic thing that develops and changes as the organization—and the larger artistic community—evolves. At the Speed, the curators are constantly assessing, refining, and growing the collection to better serve the needs of our community, and behind the scenes we constantly strive to improve how we present and care for the objects entrusted to us.

In 2023, sixty-eight new works of art were added to the collection. Acquisitions were wide-ranging, building on strengths within the existing collection while simultaneously expanding the diversity of artists represented. Highlights include a seventeenthcentury Dutch painting of ships along a coastal town by Isaac Willaerts, a rare, reliefcarved walking stick by nineteenth-century African American artist Henry Gudgell demonstrating the cultural legacies of the African diaspora, a 3D animated video work by contemporary artist Jacolby Satterwhite, and a group of twenty drawings and prints by famed New Yorker magazine illustrator Saul Steinberg.

As work on Phase I of Speed Outdoors commenced, planning was well underway for the future installation of thirteen pieces of outdoor sculpture. On a warm summer evening, landscape architects and lighting designers converged on the Speed, and, together with Curator of Contemporary Art Tyler Blackwell, they conducted lighting studies, envisioning how the outdoor sculpture might look illuminated at night. Midwest Art Conservation Center conservators Megan Emery and Courtney Murray also traveled

to Louisville to examine all the works slated to be installed in the new sculpture garden, preparing detailed condition reports, making recommendations for conservation treatment, and advising staff on strategies for the long-term care and preservation of the sculptures. Simultaneously, their colleagues Megan Randall and Rachel Moore cleaned and rewaxed Henry Moore’s Reclining Figure: Angles.

Other artworks conserved throughout the year included paintings by André Derain, Eugène Louis Boudin, and Jimmy Wright, drawings by Elihu Vedder and Donato Creti, and a sugar chest featured in the exhibition The Bitter and the Sweet: Kentucky Sugar Chests, Enslavement, and the Transatlantic World 1790–1865, among others. Whether it is cosmetic treatment to improve the visual appearance of a painting or interventions to prevent the future deterioration of objects, ensuring that works in the collection are preserved and well maintained for future generations is integral to our mission of inviting everyone to celebrate art forever.

Lending works from the collection to other museums is another way the Speed makes its collection accessible to a wider audience. In 2023, works from the Speed’s collection were featured in important exhibitions nationwide. Bob Thompson’s SelfPortrait in the Studio was displayed at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles as part of Bob Thompson: This House is Mine, the first museum exhibition devoted to the artist in more than twenty years. Yinka Shonibare’s Three Graces was featured in a mid-career retrospective of the artist’s work that served as the inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated galleries at the Frederick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. María Magdalena Campos-Pons’s Butterfly Eyes (for Breonna Taylor) was included in María Magdalena Campos-Pons: Behold. This mid-career survey of the artist’s work, showcasing four decades of work across diverse media, was organized by the Brooklyn Museum of Art and will later travel to the J. Paul Getty Museum. Participating in such exhibitions increases awareness of the Speed and its collection, builds and strengthens relationships among museums, and contributes to new scholarship.
