FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR I am excited to report that participation was the highest recorded in the past seven years.

The LSU Museum of Art engaged 23,016 visitors and participants with seven exhibitions and expanded the permanent collection with significant new works. The museum also produced five traveling exhibitions that are showing in nine institutions across the United States, representing LSU MOA and LSU. As we look back, we celebrate the critical role private philanthropy plays. The museum must raise approximately 60% of its annual budget, including exhibition and educational programming funds. Through the generosity of our donors, we presented these exhibitions and numerous educational programs and events. Philanthropy helped the museum reach the community. For example, in partnership with East Baton Rouge Parish and the Mayor’s Youth Employment Project we reached 1,322 community participants through the Neighborhood Arts Project. In two months over the summer, participants made more than 5,000 artworks.

The LSU Museum of Art displays high-quality exhibitions by artists of local, national and international acclaim. LSU MOA creates opportunities for direct exposure and understanding of art’s importance to heritage, tradition, and history. This year we exhibited exciting paintings by Julie Heffernan and Robert Williams. We celebrated compelling photography by Carrie Mae Weems and Jerry Uelsmann. We shared Surrealist prints from France and an important African-American collection from Mississippi. The Southeastern Museums Conference recognized the Martin Payton sculpture exhibition with a Bronze Award in their exhibitions competition. We highlighted our permanent collections with shows of Hogarth prints and a special project of our great Ecce Homo painting by Beuckelaer. The permanent collection added significant artworks by Ansel Adams, Jonathan Bachman, Emerson Bell, George Dureau, Martin Payton and others.

This growth of our collection is only possible through the generosity of our supporters.

The LSU Museum of Art was honored by two publications—225 Magazine's Best of 225 Awards for the Best Place to See Art and DIG magazine’s Baton Rouge Area’s Greatest Art Gallery (BRAG Award). We appreciate receiving this community acknowledgment.

This report is a testament to the hard work of our staff and the engagement of our members and enthusiastic supporters. I look forward to your continued participation as we engage the LSU Museum of Art in making cultural history for our region and nation.

FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD CHAIR LSU Museum of Art exists to serve its members and their guests, the community, the University and much more. Its dedicated staff led by director Daniel Stetson continues to provide an opportunity for visitors to experience a wide variety of visual art with something for everyone to enjoy. Exhibitiions have ranged from the passionate expressions in welded steel by Baton Rouge artist Martin Payton to the socially challenging work of Carrie Mae Weems to the deeply meaningful visions of rising water that so many can relate to in the real world around us as expressed

by Julie Heffernan.

Art truly touches our soul. The comic-like works by Robert Williams could not be ignored. His surrealist other-world paintings were both fascinating and entertaining.

This past year at the LSU Museum of Art there was something for everyone of all ages, cultures, and interests.

As the only dedicated fine art museum in the Baton Rouge area, LSU Museum of Art seeks to involve its audiences in many ways beyond the art presented. There can be no better place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the 4th of July than on the open terrace rooftop of the Shaw Center, a front row seat to view and enjoy the celebration of our nation’s birthday. In February 2018, LSU Museum of Art presented its spring gala, La Fete de la Riviere, a fabulous evening of wonderful entertainment, a silent auction, delicious fare, and of course great art in a beautiful setting.

Members also enjoy a non-stop schedule of activities that include monthly brown bag lunch art talks, curator tours of exhibitions, many children’s activities, Third Thursday evening gallery talks that include artistic adult beverages, and so much more. Be a member, have fun, and enjoy.

The Advisory Board of LSU Museum of Art is a group of talented, dedicated, and generous individuals who serve to promote the arts in Baton Rouge and far beyond.

Our board reflects the best of Baton Rouge, a diverse group of people who lend their talents and experiences to benefit of the museum and our greater community.

It has been both an honor and a pleasure to serve as chair of this board.

Ron English: Delusionville January 13–February 26, 2018 New York-based artist Ron English designed this 154-foot-tall banner as part of his Delusionville project for LSU Museum of Art in conjunction with Baton Rouge Gallery’s Surreal Salon and a lecture at LSU School of Art. Delusionville is an absurd, imagined world that recalls Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Through animal-like characters, English critiques and parodies society through storytelling—once removed from the divisive rhetoric that stifles political discussion today.

2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT

COMMUNITY IMPACT: THE USUAL SUSPECTS

E

xhibitions at LSU Museum of Art offer a window to explore different perspectives, providing an opportunity for introspection, conversation and reflection on our world at large.

We often explore timely topics in our contemporary exhibitions, ranging from climate change through the allegorical paintings of Julie Heffernan to Debbie Fleming Caffery’s photography reflecting on Hurricane Katrina 10 years later.

The art of Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects has also offered a window into contemporary challenges. Since opening on April 12, exhibition audiences have reflected and had meaningful dialogue with fellow community members.

Dialogue on Race Louisiana, which has had an ongoing partnership with LSU MOA, saw the exhibition as a valuable learning tool and partnered with Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to host a discussion at the museum on race and policing. Community organizers, law enforcement officials and criminal justice leaders participated in the threeweek series with the intent of having a productive dialogue on ways to improve the relationship between law enforcement and the community it serves. One session included a gallery talk about Weems’ work.

One participant in the series, Southern University Law Professor Russell Jones, found the discussion and exhibition themes to be so meaningful that he brought it into his classroom.

“The Carrie Mae Weems exhibit, The Usual Suspects, is a very powerful demonstration of police brutality, and how race

is a significant factor in policing and the use of excessive force,” Jones says. “The photographs and videos clearly depict the cultural and institutional racism that has defined the American criminal justice system. Requiring my Criminal Procedure class to attend the exhibit was a no brainer. Future attorneys and policy makers must be exposed to the entire story because they will play an essential role in ensuring that ‘justice for all’ is not an empty statement, but a reality for everyone.”

Tours paired with open discussion have not stopped there. In July, a group of teens and mentors with Big Buddy toured the exhibition, examining the difficult realities presented in the work and creating their own work in response. The finished product was displayed on the walls of the museum in the Young Artists Gallery.

A final layer of this impact was seen at LSU MOA during the September 20th installment of Third Thursday, where a student-produced zine was released. Participants have provided first-person accounts and responses to the work on display, demonstrating not only how relevant the exhibition’s themes are for our community but also how productive the pairing of art and dialogue can be in expressing those difficult topics.

After closing on October 14, Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects will be offered to academic museums and galleries for tour through 2022. www.lsumoa.org

EXHIBITIONS

Art in Louisiana: Views into the Collection Ongoing LSU Museum of Art’s permanent collection exhibition, Art in Louisiana, is updated regularly to rotate works from collections storage, display new acquisitions, and share different perspectives.

2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT

In conjunction with The Usual Suspects, selections from Carrie Mae Weems’ expansive oeuvre was featured in several Art in Louisiana galleries. The inclusion of works from Weems’ Slave Coast, The Louisiana Project, From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, and Slow Fade to Black series juxtaposed with the LSU MOA permanent collection aimed to broaden conversations about identity, power, gender, race, and class that sometimes pass under the radar with historic art collections.

2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT

the overlap between Payton’s work and the assignment, McClay scheduled a special tour of the exhibition led by Payton himself so other students could study the work and discuss the sculptor's practice. Much like Payton’s scrap hauls, McClay’s students raided LSU’s dumpsters for scrap materials in preparation for their sculpture projects. Though Payton's practice includes no preparatory sketches, the students were required to write statements, create quick models and, eventually, scale maquettes from foam core in preparation for their final projects.

FROM THE GALLERIES TO THE CLASSROOM

S

ince LSU Museum of Art is a university museum, one outcome we hope for most when organizing an exhibition is for students to deeply connect with work and find relevance to their studies. This fall, the stars aligned with Broken Time, an exhibition of Martin Payton’s welded steel sculptures, and two classes led by LSU art professor Malcolm McClay.

In his Immediate Sculpture and Special Studies in Sculpture courses, McClay regularly assigns a personal narrative project. This project requires the final work to have one dimension that is at least six feet long, use welding, and integrate fabricated metal or found metal objects—each requirement aligning precisely with Payton’s practice.

Several sculpture students attended the opening of Broken Time, and upon meeting Payton, listening to his Q&A, and seeing his work, they became increasingly enthusiastic about the project's possibilities. Seeing this enthusiasm and

One of the resulting projects, pictured below, is by LSU undergraduate scuplture student Isabella Damico and draws from her life in New York City. “When designing this sculpture, I wanted to incorporate aspects reflecting New York City and my experiences there. The structure of the sculpture is meant to resemble the skyscrapers in Manhattan while allowing viewers the chance to walk inside and sit down.

The graffiti wall and ‘industrial’-style wall both represent two very different sides of the city. The actual images painted on the graffiti wall are abstract images of personal experiences I had while living in New York City,” she says.

For Damico, discussions with Payton gave her insight into her future with the medium. "It was an incredible opportunity to meet someone who is actively and successfully creating work in an art field that interests me the most. Not only did viewing his work in person spark ideas for future sculpture designs but also gave me confirmation that it is possible to be a successful sculptor. Seeing Martin's work helped me realize that my work in college can and will be worth it in the end."

Europe, she returned to Baton Rouge with her husband, Dr. Butler Fuller, in the 1980s. She immediately immersed herself in the arts community, joining boards of Friends of the LSU School of Music, Swine Palace Productions, and LSU Museum of Art. When her term ended, her commitment to the museum remained strong through volunteering and membership. In 2015, she returned to LSU MOA’s Advisory Board and has continued to play an integral role.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT: BETH FULLER

Through dedicated service and consistent support, Beth Fuller is one of LSU Museum of Art’s most passionate advocates.

“Having access to the LSU Museum of Art at its current location is one of the great treasures of Baton Rouge,” she says. “Through the museum’s educational outreach, informative interaction with the university and community, and openness to the public, it enriches the atmosphere of the city.”

Fuller has been a member of the LSU family since college, when she attended on a piano scholarship.

After performing throughout the United States and in

“There was a period when the museum underwent several leadership changes. It became important for the Advisory Board members to shoulder more responsibility when it came to funding the scheduled exhibitions as well as the reinstallation of its permanent collection.”

One of those exhibitions was Hunt Slonem: Antebellum Pop. Fuller can largely be credited in the financial success of that project, taking the initiative to ensure that it was fully funded. The exhibition had a 15-week run and was made possible through support from 30 donors and in-kind partners and was seen by over 6,751 visitors.

Today, Fuller continues to contribute to the museum’s success as the development chair of the Advisory Board, collaborating on fundraising initiatives like the Annual Fund Campaign and special events like the La Fête de la Rivière gala.
