2012 Annual Report

When working for a cultural organization, there is always the next thing to get ready for—an event, an exhibition or program that is just around the corner. Because we are always so occupied with what is coming along next, sometimes it’s challenging to remember all the wonderful things that have come to pass, which is why this annual report is so important: it provides a record and allows the Museum of the Southwest and our family to remember and consider the growth, changes and accomplishments of the past year.

While there are many events to highlight, 2012 saw the expansion of the programs the Museum offers to Midland and our surrounding communities. Many of these programs are still in the beginning stages but we hope they continue to grow, draw interest and inspire the people who come to them. Likewise, the Museum launched a new web site that is more informative, easier to navigate and useful to our visitors.

In addition to lawn concerts, fourth-grade tours and numerous exhibitions, it was a truly special year for Christmas at the Mansion which was revived and renewed through the hard work and dedication of so many of the friends of the Museum.

Thanks are due to each of you who support the Museum of the Southwest through your contributions of time, finances, ideas and creativity. Without you, this institution could not continue to serve the community of Midland and the people of West Texas. Thanks are also due to the hardworking staff of the Museum of the Southwest who strive to make the Museum a fun, welcoming and interesting place for everyone. Whether Board of Governor, Board of Trustees or Museum member, we appreciate all that you do for this institution and look forward to seeing you in the galleries, at our programs and enjoying our activities.

A Prayer for the Earth

Linda Vallejo January 27—March 18, 2012 Linda Vallejo’s art grows out of her experiences with different cultures over the course of decades of travel and careful study. From her home base in Topanga Canyon, California, she has been involved with Native American and Mexican rituals and ceremonies for the past 25 years. In part, the theme of her work is the devastation done to the planet, but she also touches on the healing powers of ceremony and the interaction of the basic elements: earth, water, fire, and air.

Mind Maps: Mixed Media Works of Melanie Yazzie Melanie Yazzie April 6—May 27, 2012

Melanie Yazzie was born in Ganado, Arizona in 1966. She is Navajo of the Áshįįhí, and grew up on the Navajo Reservation. While being witty and colorful, her work encompasses a wide range of media. Frequently, her subject matter is significant because of the serious undertones referencing native post-colonial dilemmas. Her work often brings images of women from many indigenous cultures to the fore. A recurring motif has been Blue Bird flour sacks, which provided clothing material during her childhood. Thus her work references matrilineal systems and points to the possibility of female leadership.

A Venerable Landscape— The Ancient Southwest William Stone June 8—August 26, 2012

William Stone specializes in documenting the landscapes and ancient cultures of the American Southwest. Working primarily with large-format photographic equipment, he travels the Four Corners country in an effort to record the moments when light and form evoke the beauty and drama of the region. His images are often used to support many environmental efforts, including those of the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education.

Dialogue through Form

Arlo Namingha, September 14—October 21, 2012 Creating minimalist sculptures of kachina figures, Namingha explores symbols and ideas from Hopi cosmology, adding influences from the related imagery of San Juan Pueblo north of Santa Fe, where his mother is from and where he spent much of his childhood. His father’s family descended from a group of Tewa-speaking people who migrated to the Hopi reservation in northeastern Arizona. Namingha began experimenting with a different style using less paint and enlarging and simplifying the dancing figures. His work has evolved into a very minimal, spherical representation of a kachina’s face in bronze, using multiple surfaces and patinas for variety.

Ancient Art, Modern Vision

Nathan Youngblood November 4—December 29, 2012 Nathan Youngblood is a sixth generation potter whose pottery-making skills evolved by watching his mother and grandparents who taught him, “The clay is a gift; it is a privilege that the Clay Mother gives us, and we are very fortunate. You can’t be good if you just play with it. You have to totally commit yourself.” He continually works to redefine what makes Pueblo pottery unique with technical superiority, innovative shapes and traditional designs combined with an original contemporary presentation. Youngblood adheres to all the traditional aspects of completing a piece, carefully following each step taught to him by his ancestors.

Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography March 17—June 3, 2012

The Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES) and the Grand Canyon Association collaborated to curate this collection of 60 photographs of this unique natural wonder. Covering nearly 125 years of photographic history, the exhibition includes images of early photographers dangling from cables to get the perfect shot, their cumbersome camera equipment balanced precariously on their shoulders. More modern images are bold and dramatic, revealing the canyon’s capricious weather, its flora and fauna, waterfalls and wading pools, and awesome cliffs and rock formations.

Pueblo to Pueblo: The Legacy of Southwest Indian Pottery June 15—August 12, 2012

Pottery making in the American Southwest is a tradition that first emerged about two thousand years ago. It is a functional art form that was passed from generation to generation over the span of centuries by people living in permanent villages, called pueblos. The pottery of each pueblo was unique, with differences in vessel shape as well as the designs painted onto the surface. Pueblo to Pueblo featured ceramics from the collection of the Kansas City Museum and Union Station Kansas City. It was supplemented with similar ceramics from the Museum of the Southwest’s permanent collection.

Billy Keen: Visions of Santa November 29—December 29, 2012 Each year since 1974, Keen has painted one new and unique image of Santa Claus. The portraits delight art lovers of all ages through a tradition that began as an explanation of art technique and a lesson in art history. The Keen Santas have been shown as "Visions of Santa" in a vast number of Christmas exhibitions and featured the past three years on television's Texas Country Reporter. A favorite for Christmas at the Mansion, this was a return engagement for Mr. Keen.

John James Audubon’s magnum opus, The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America published between 1845 and 1848 are the finest images of North American animals ever made. The Museum of the Southwest’s collection of Audubon’s work is an important holding. Like his Birds of America, the Quadrupeds show his skills as an artist, observer and interpreter of nature. The exhibition included depictions of wild cats, bears, wolves, antelopes and many others.

Today, the APA has expanded into a nonprofit organization with a membership consisting of both signature and associate members. The goals have remained the same, to educate the public through traditional and representational art works about the American Plains region including the landscape, wildlife, peoples and way of life in historical or modern times.

A View from Space

June 1—September 9, 2012 Since the launch of the world’s first artificial satellite (Sputnik) in 1957, satellites have dramatically changed the way we study our planet. This bilingual traveling exhibition from the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry giave visitors a chance to see the world from a satellite’s perspective. In this highly interactive, hands-on science exhibition, visitors were able to track a hurricane from space, send a satellite spinning into orbit around a model Earth, study astonishing images of our planet captured by NASA’s Earth Observing System and more! A View from Space was designed to introduce visitors to the latest and greatest of the Earth observing satellites and give them an appreciation for the value of studying Earth from space. Visitors were challenged to become scientists, study satellite images and try to answer important questions about the workings of our dynamic planet.

From the Earth to the Solar System June 1—September 9, 2012

In conjunction with A View from Space, a selection of photographs from NASA’s From the Earth to the Solar System (FETTSS) was displayed at the Blakemore Planetarium, the Durham Children’s Museum and on the Museum grounds.

FETTSS, a collaborative effort led by Daniella Scalice and Julie Fletcher of the NASA Astrobiology Program, was a photography exhibition that showcased the excitement of planetary exploration. The images were both artistic and informative, merging together themes in astrobiology, planetary science and astronomy. Including contributions from backyard astronomers, large telescopes in space, and even point-and-shoot cameras of field researchers, the collection represented the current state of exploration as seen through the eyes of the scientific community.
