EDUCATE & ENGAGE YOUR VISITORS THROUGH YOUR STORY

Content Creation

Does your site need to create new content? Do you need help with Production? Do you require foreign language translation? Accessible tours? From on-site research and script creation, to final audio/multimedia production, our Creative Team will endeavor to provide an enlightened, engaging, and educational vision. Every content creation project that we undertake begins with us listening to you. Our Creative Team will consult with you to ensure your vision is interpreted in a unique and engaging way. Tour-Mate will transfer all ownership of copyrights for all tours created to clients once complete payment has been received.

Service

Tour-Mate stands behind all of its interpretive platforms. Unless otherwise indicated, equipment provided by Tour-Mate is warranted for one year from the date of delivery. Unlike warranties offered by other vendors, a Tour-Mate warranty (parts & labor) covers all malfunctions attributable to not only manufacturing defects but also normal wear and tear (including battery replacements). Five (5) Day Service Turn-Around Tour-Mate offers a five (5) day turnaround on most equipment repairs from receipt of malfunctioning units at one of our Service depots. Tour-Mate has two Service depots – one in Victor, NY and one in Toronto, ON.

@tourmatesystems • 800.216.0029 • www.tourmate.com SEMC thanks all our active members, including those who have recently joined (in bold). Without your support and participation, we could not provide region-wide services such as our awards, and scholarship programs, as well as our outstanding Annual Meeting and acclaimed Leadership Institute and Jekyll Island Management Institute. If you are an individual member and your museum is not an institutional member, please encourage them to join. For information on memberships and benefits visit semcdirect.net, email Smemberservices@semcdirect.net, or call 404.814.2047.

At Alexander Haas we believe that the ability to separate fact from fiction is critical to developing successful fundraising

Fiction: We need to write more grants and get more corporate giving to increase fundraising. Fact: Giving by individuals far outpaces foundation and corporate giving with nearly 4 of 5 charitable dollars coming from individual donors. Fiction: People don’t give to the arts. Fact: Arts giving grew faster than any other sector in 2021, reaching $23.5 billion

Our consultants start with facts, not fiction, to help you develop real-world strategies to improve your fundraising results

Rodin: Contemplation and Dreams at the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College.

FLORIDA

Each era has its own proclaimed master sculptor, recognized as a master in that artist’s own lifetime. Some names are more familiar than others — Polykleitos (Classical Greece), Donatello (Early Renaissance), Michelangelo (High Renaissance), Bernini (Baroque), and Canova (Ne0-Classical) to name a few — but all have captured the minds, eyes, and hearts of generations of art lovers. For the late nineteenth century, on the cusp of the abstractive trends of the twentieth, the celebrated master sculptor was Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). Rodin’s sculptures not only revived for a new century the expressive and naturalistic style of antiquity, using ancient Greek sculptors’ medium of choice but also propelled figurative sculpture into the modern age with emotion and pathos never seen before in the sculpted form. And now Rodin comes to Florida. This summer (June 25 through October 30, 2022), the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College invites visitors into the world of the modern master with an astonishing exhibition featuring more than forty bronze sculptures filling the Museum’s first-floor galleries. The largest exhibition of sculptures in the Museum’s history, Rodin: Contemplation and Dreams takes its title from the sculptor’s own words; he described the ability of art ideally to “open before us an enchanted land of contemplation and dreams” — and, in his work, Rodin sought to transport and amaze his viewers.

Rodin’s sculptures are instantly recognizable, with his Thinker and Gates of Hell emblems in the history of art. Forgoing idealization for astonishingly naturalistic representation, Rodin created sculptures that connect with their viewers and speak to the universal emotions and

mentalities of the human experience. Tapping into the deep roots of humanity, Rodin also imbues his figures with his personal touch, presenting them in previously unseen (or even unwieldy) poses or making gestures that appear shockingly un-staged and thus even more human. It is often difficult to believe that his sculptures are merely bronze, so readily do they look like they should come to life, weep, or speak. Indeed, Rodin’s sculptures draw their power from physical and psychological truth, capturing human anguish, drama, tragedy, mindfulness, and hope through the sculpted form.

An artist of the post-Impressionist era (roughly the last two decades of the nineteenth century), Rodin is not easily categorized. His focus on “real” human forms behaving in “real” human ways echoes the strengths of the French Realists and Impressionists, who focused similarly on the world and people of the here and now — and how we actually see them. Meanwhile, the unmitigated expressive emotion of Rodin’s figures, such that they make viewers actually feel something themselves, recalls the expressionistic manners of fellow postImpressionist-era artists including Vincent Van Gogh. But whereas those artists are celebrated principally for their tw0-dimensional work, Rodin injects into the arena of sculpture all the humanity and emotion of the real world with a touch and style uniquely his own.

LOUISIANA

In celebration of the Louisiana Art & Science Museum’s 60th anniversary, LASM has published a collection catalog titled Sixty Years of Collecting at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, thanks to a generous Rebirth Grant provided by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH). This new catalog is available free of charge at LASM and is also available online via the museum’s virtual learning platform at virtual-lasm.org.

The publication illustrates Louisiana’s unique history and culture through the artwork held in LASM’s collection that was created by Louisiana-born and Louisiana-based artists working in the nineteenth century until today. The full-color publication consists of a forward by Serena (Meredith) Pandos, LASM’s President & Executive Director; an introduction by LASM’s Past Curator Lexi Adams; artist biographies focused on their connections to Louisiana; high-resolution photographs of a selection of objects on view in Our Louisiana; and a brief history of LASM’s sixty years of service to the community.

In her forward in the catalog, Pandos states, “The Louisiana Art & Science Museum continues to be defined by the belief that the disciplines of art and science shape, complement, and spring from one another. We hope you enjoy this publication as much as we have enjoyed creating it, with special thanks to the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, the many visionaries and philanthropists who have gifted so generously to make our permanent art collection the treasure that it is today, and to my visionary predecessors Adalié Brent and Carol Gikas, whose hard work paved the way these last sixty years, as we plan for the next sixty.”

This publication was made possible by a Rebirth grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities in 2021. Funding for 2021 Rebirth grants has been administered by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH) and provided by the National Endowment for

At the LSU Museum of Art, Blurring Boundaries: The Women of American Abstract Artists, 1936–Present highlights the indelible ways in which the women of American Abstract Artists have, for more than eighty years, shifted and shaped the frontiers of American abstraction. The hierarchy of distilled form, immaculate line, and pure color came close to being the mantra of modern art—particularly that of American Abstract Artists (AAA), the subject of this exhibition. From the outset—due as much to their divergent status as abstract artists as to their gender—women of American Abstract Artists were already working on the periphery of the art world. In contrast to the other artist collectives of the period, where equal footing for women was unusual, AAA provided a place of refuge for female

artists. Through fifty-six works, Blurring Boundaries explores the artists’ astounding range of styles, including their individual approaches to the guiding principles of abstraction: color, space, light, material, and process.

Blurring Boundaries: The Women of American Abstract Artists, 1936–Present was organized by The Clara M. Eagle Gallery, Murray State University, Murray, KY and the Ewing Gallery, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN and is toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. The exhibition was curated by Rebecca DiGiovanna. This exhibition is sponsored locally by Taylor Porter Attorneys At Law. Now on view at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA until on view until October 23, 2022.

Featuring two paintings and two drawings, Mario Moore: Responding to History at the LSU Museum of Art provides an in-depth look at Moore’s nuanced artwork During and After the Battle. At over five feet by six feet, the large-scale artwork offers much to contemplate.

artist Mark Gibson, During and After the Battle responds to classical painting traditions, American history, and the Civil War, and reflects on the past and the present. Mario Moore: Responding to History also includes Gibson’s painting Battle of Antietam, which gives visitors another view into Moore’s process for During and After the Battle. Moore recently had an exhibition of his work at the Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana entitled A New Republic, which included a series of paintings depicting Civil War scenes placed in contemporary settings. Drawing influences from Peter Paul Rubens, During and After the Battle realistically depicts the violence of the Civil War and references elements of Black masculinity.

This exhibition was organized by Clarke Brown, LSU Museum of Art Curatorial Fellow. Moore’s painting was acquired in 2020 with funds from the Winifred and Kevin P. Reilly Initiative for Underrepresented Artists. Support for all LSU Museum of Art exhibitions is provided by the Annual Exhibition Fund donors. Now on view at the LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA until on view until October 23, 2022.

From the Halsey’s exhibition Only You Can Prevent a Forest by Kirsten Stolle.

SOUTH CAROLINA

The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston is presenting an exhibition in fall 2022 that examines the global influence of agrichemical companies on our food supply.

Using appropriation, wordplay, and humor, Ashevillebased artist Kirsten Stolle co-opts advertising strategies used by agrichemical corporations to resurface and critique company history. Her work interrogates the global influence of chemical companies on our food supply and their consistent efforts to downplay effects of their toxic products on our health and environment. Stolle is interested in how chemical giants like Bayer/ Monsanto and Dow Chemical position themselves as modern agricultural companies while actively concealing their pesticides’ decades-long toxic impact on the soil. By deconstructing their marketing methods, Stolle can begin to uncover the misdirection and invite viewers to critically engage with industry propaganda.

For her exhibition, Only You Can Prevent A Forest, Kirsten Stolle will create photo-based collages, visual poetry interventions, text-based sound animation, a neon wall piece, and her first site-responsive sculptural installation. Building upon her decade-long research into companies like Bayer/Monsanto and Dow Chemical, the work will forefront historical ties to chemical warfare and reveal persistent greenwashing.

Kirsten Stolle: Only You Can Prevent A Forest will be on view from August 26 to December 10, 2022.
