2022 Year In Review

Dear Friends, The year 2022 was a transformative year for the Speed Art Museum. Reeling from the effects of the global pandemic and the “new normal,” the Speed Art Museum embarked on a new strategic vision.

The goal was for the museum to become a better neighbor to its community, and to become an institution that measures success not only by how many people it brings through its doors, but by how well it is able to share its resources outside of its walls; an institution that engages directly with timely and relevant issues, that uplifts local voices, and that uses art as a catalyst for both personal and collective healing and transformation.

With this goal in mind, the Speed hosted a selection of diverse exhibitions that featured prominent artists of color, like contemporary artist, Sanford Biggers, in Codeswitch and multimedia artist, Robert Visani, in The Promise. The Speed also hosted one of the largest exhibitions in its 95year history. Spanning two floors, the nationally acclaimed exhibition Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art welcomed guests from a broad audience and explored America as a haunted place through the eyes of artists.

It was also a year of profound sadness with the passing of one of the Museum’s most beloved and groundbreaking artists, Sam Gilliam. The Speed

Art Museum has long collected the artist’s work, with seven career-spanning examples in its collection. The Museum has hosted three exhibitions of his work over the past sixty years: Sam Gilliam: A Retrospective; Construction: An Installation at the J.B. Speed Museum by Sam Gilliam; and Sam Gilliam: Paintings and Works on Paper.

The film industry, hit hard by the pandemic, began to slowly recover and the Speed Cinema enthusiastically resumed screening art-house films, resulting in an incredible selection of cinematic experiences from around the globe.

We continued our crucial and timely work of community engagement and belonging with the hiring of our first Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Toya Northington, and our first Curator of Academic Programming and Special Projects, Dr. fari nzinga. These two positions will capture, share, and analyze a community’s experiences in a way that is conducive to ownership, connection, and advocacy for social change and help further our mission of inviting everyone to celebrate art forever.

The power of art to transform lives in our community drives our new vision. I am grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the Speed.

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 During the 2021-2022 school year, the Speed’s Learning and Engagement team continued to expand outreach to teachers and students. Because of the resurgence of COVID-19 in the fall of 2021, we focused on virtual outreach and online educational programs, building upon the array of online programs begun in 2020 to allow students to explore and learn about art when field trips to the Museum were not possible. Through feedback that we received from teachers, we know that many teachers involved students in viewing the programs, which helped increase students’ awareness of the Speed. We began a new initiative in Summer 2022 to expand the curriculum resources offered to support K-12 teachers. This included the hiring of a part-time Curriculum Resource Coordinator who collaborated with the Curatorial Department to develop curriculum content areas and have artworks from the collection photographed to make an additional 400 high-resolution images available for teachers to use in their classrooms. The curriculum units are being piloted through professional development workshops to gather

feedback from teachers. One JCPS teacher who used the Social and Emotional Learning curriculum in their classroom said: ”I was very impressed! I don’t know who got more out of it, the students or me. I really like using SEL in my lesson plans.”

In addition to virtual engagement initiatives, we supplemented our offerings for students in several ways. The Learning and Engagement team created thirty special screen-printing kits for high school classrooms. Each kit could be used by a group of 30 students over the course of the year, allowing us to serve a total of 900 high school students. We also distributed 3,750 Art Kits to Title 1 students at Byck Elementary, Cochran Elementary, Western Middle school, McFerran Preparatory, Grace James academy, and through JCPS Title 1 summer programs.

The kits contained grade level appropriate artmaking instructions and supplies for projects families could complete from home. To provide opportunities for families to visit the Speed and celebrate art together, each Art Kit included a Family Pass, which provides free admission and access to the Museum for the student and their entire family.

In March 2022, the Speed welcomed the first school groups back to the Museum for in-person

tours since the beginning of the pandemic. From March to June 2022, we provided school tours to 1,000 students, including free tours for 460 Title 1 school students and 221 university students.

On surveys, teachers who accompanied the students strongly agreed or agreed that the tour experience “helped students to study art closely” and “connect with art.” We also shared hands-on arts experiences with 820 youth through Art Detectives experiences at community events.

Youth and Family Programs Youth and family programs at the Speed provide opportunities for families to connect with each other, and with our collection, through workshops, tours, camps, and more. We strive to ignite and strengthen the curiosity, imagination, and creativity of our youngest visitors and their families.

Art Sparks, our hands-on space, offers activities for all ages and, since each station is designed to be enjoyed independently, we were able to reopen this space in December 2021 so families could safely enjoy creative learning together. To compensate for limitations in youth and family engagement due to reduced hours and in consideration of CDC guidelines for reducing risk of COVID-19 infection, the Speed’s studio programs team supplemented our offerings for art-making experiences by supporting the creation of the Art Kits, which contained materials and instructions for projects families could complete from home. This also aided in fulfilling our commitment to reach JCPS Title 1 students while our regular school field trip and Art Detectives programs were suspended.

Over the summer, we offered three camps for children ages 7 to 13,

19

2022 Year In Review

including the wonderfully successful Make A Mural camp, which for the second season reached maximum registration and received positive reviews from participants and parents alike. Local artist Jaylin Stewart led campers through the ins-and-outs of creating public art as they worked together to paint murals in Art Sparks. A new camp, Intro to Animation, introduced children to movie magic!

At the end of the week, each participant had learned about animation techniques, developed their own story, and brought it to life. The finished films even premiered in the Speed Cinema to an enthusiastic crowd of campers, parents, and Speed staff members. To provide experiences with our Art Detectives program, we offered a special camp that dug deep into the process of looking for clues in objects and exploring the artistic process. We also participated in the summer 2022 Cultural Pass program, welcoming youth from across our community the Speed at no charge and providing scavenger hunts, artmaking activities, and other ways for Cultural Pass participants to enjoy art.

Teen and Adult Programs In July 2022 we offered a unique opportunity for teens who are interested in art to take their practice to the next level through a Portfolio Intensive camp for ages 14-16. Our teen campers learned from artists and museum professionals, experimented with advanced studio techniques, and explored the Speed’s collection. One of our participants was accepted into the Governor’s School for the Arts following this experience.

Teens and adults created art at the Speed through our Costumed Figure Drawing, Adult Workshops, and After Hours artmaking

programs. Costumed Figure Drawing is an ongoing monthly series that provides guests the opportunity to draw from a live model dressed in costuming inspired by artworks currently on display at The Speed. The Speed’s adult workshop series, Back to Basics, provides opportunities for participants 16 years and older to explore their creative side and learn new art making skills, exploring techniques such as paper marbling, cyanotypes, and watercolor illustrations. As part of the program offerings of After Hours, an artmaking activity that connects with the event theme is facilitated in a drop-in open studio format, designed to be fun for all ages.

Designed in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association for those living with early- and middle-stage memory loss and their care partners, our Memories at the Museum monthly series combines a tour of a gallery or special exhibition with a hands-on artmaking activity. This meaningful program reaches those in our community who benefit from tapping into their own creativity, along with social connections with others. In addition to guiding students on tours of Museum exhibitions, our volunteer Docents lead weekly, drop-in Collection Highlights Tours that gusts of all ages enjoy.

EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING 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.

Despite the resurgence of Covid-19 and the cancelation of other community events that we had planned, Speed for All memberships increased by nearly 10% since April of 2021, to a total of 591. (As of January 2022)

Russell Artist in Residency The Artist in Residency Program in West Louisville’s Russell Neighborhood is part of our institution’s desire to reach out, amplify, and empower community members by collectively creating a platform for participants to share their stories and express perspectives on social and personal topics. We intend to co-create a

25

2022 Year In Review

self-sustaining community art program that can be critical, uplifting, progressive, and transformative for the neighborhood and its people.

The Speed welcomed Shauntrice Martin as our first Community Connections Artist-in-Residence in 2021 who developed a series of projects in Russell to work with residents to nurture their artistic talents and express their creativity to affect positive change in their neighborhood. In 2022, the Speed welcomed Ashlee Phillips as the Artist-in-Residence who focused specifically on Black women and their mental health.

Platinum Collective The Speed continued the Platinum Collective art-making workshop series begun in Summer 2021 to serve community members age 55 and older, who may have limited access to and representation in the arts. The second workshop series, entitled Future Reimagined, was facilitated virtually by Dr. Jabani Bennett, due to COVID-19 surges.

Twenty participants discovered and planned out a vision for the new year, asking who do we want to become and where do we want to see ourselves in the future. This series started on January 20, 2022, and participants developed their creative skills through studying and developing mixed media and collage projects. Participants met once a week for two hours over an 8-week time period, in which they discussed and reflected on their futures and how they see themselves, their families, and their friends in the future.

The third workshop series for Year 2, The Art of Identity, was held in person and taught by artist Sara Noori. In this workshop series, Noori provided an introduction to fine art techniques and involved twenty participants in investigating the concept of identity through a modern

lens. Mini art making projects and journaling wove together a visual narrative of identity. The workshop culminated with participants creating a mixed-media project inspired by their research and selfreflection. This workshop series started in January of 2022, and met every Saturday for two hours, for 8 weeks.

An exhibition featuring the work created in all three workshop series opened on April 15, 2022. The exhibition opening was an in-person event, lasting for about an hour, and was attended by more than 300 people.

The Promise Led by multimedia artist and educator Roberto Visani and cofacilitated by Dr. Gaberiel Jones, Jr., assistant professor at the University of Louisville School of Public Health and Information Sciences, The Promise workshop series from late March through June 2022 combined evidence-based participatory action research with education and facilitated discussion on the root causes of gun violence, its effects on the Black community, and racial trauma, as well as extensive mentorship and resources for participants to explore new artmaking techniques for self-expression. Selected through a research study recruitment process, The Promise’s eight Louisville-based participants, who ranged in age from early 30s to early 70s, identify as Black and have been personally impacted by gun violence. Throughout July 2022, each of the participants created a work of art in a medium of their choice as a culminating project, with training, materials, funding, fabrication, and finishing support provided by the Speed. The final works were displayed in The Promise exhibition, which opened August 19, 2022. The

majority of the participants were not practicing artists prior to joining the workshop.

W.E.B. DuBois Academy Partnership Our partnership with the W.E.B. DuBois Academy focuses on bringing local Black male artists to lead a semester-long, hands-on art-making program for art students at DuBois Academy, a middle and high school primarily for Black male pupils in the Jefferson County Public School district. With the model of the school based in teaching young males through an Afro-centric lens, it is imperative to connect who they truly are as humans, artists, AND African Americans to the forefront of their artwork. Through the Speed Art Museum contracting several other community artists, DuBois has been able to offer a service to this group of students who otherwise would not have an outlet for their talent.

In 2022, this program offered students from all grades the chance to explore new art practices, media, additional educational opportunities, and career paths in the arts. Students developed new skills and enhanced their skill set by working with recognized local artist Julian Thomas and developing pitch comics. Through the program, we inspired students’ curiosity and opened their eyes to the variety of ways in which they can continue developing their skills and use their skills in a career. The program concluded with the installation of an exhibition featuring characters created by the students at the Speed. Following the completion of the program, several students expressed an interest in continuing to develop their pitch comics and turn them into real animations.

EXHIBITIONS Collecting – A Love Story: Glass from the Adele and Leonard Leight Collection February 6 – November 7, 2021 Dedicated to the memory of Leonard and Adele, Collecting – A Love Story: Glass from the Adele and Leonard Leight Collection drew together over 60 works by over 50 artists to illustrate both the Leights’ shared lives as collectors and the stories of international contemporary glass embedded within their collection. Co-curated by Scott Erbes, the Speed’s Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, and widely exhibited artist and educator Norwood Viviano, this exhibition used the breadth of the Leight Collection to examine the diverse practices of the artists represented. Some of the themes explored: issues of race and gender, perspectives on the human figure, conceptual considerations of the history of glass, and formalist explorations of the material.

Artists in the exhibition included Dale Chihuly, Stephen Paul Day, Jeffrey Gibson, Karen LaMonte, Silvia Levenson, Sybille Peretti, Stephen Rolfe Powell, Judith Schaechter, Joyce J. Scott, Preston Singletary, Therman Statom, and Pamina Traylor as well as the artist-spouses Jaroslava Brychtová and Stanislav Libenský.

EXHIBITIONS Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art October 8, 2021 – January 2, 2022 Supernatural America examined the artwork that has shaped our collective imagination of the supernatural and paranormal and asked why America is haunted. Ghosts of a violent US history, whether Native American genocide, slavery, or the Civil War, remain unsettled and periodically resurface to make the present face the past. In intimate moments of mourning, the will to make contact with spirits of the dead drove cultures of mediumship, new ritual practices, and a popular culture around Spiritualism. This exhibition explored the numerous ways artists in the U.S. made sense of their own experiences of the paranormal and supernatural, and in doing so developed a rich visual culture of the intangible.

From Native American spiritual traditions to the Salem Witch Trials to Afrofuturism, the exhibition tracked this country’s complex and complicated relationship to the otherworldly. Most importantly, the exhibition included well-known artists and objects alongside artists who were new to art historical analysis, never before included in museum exhibitions of American art.

This exhibition is organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art and has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

EXHIBITIONS Ralph Eugene Meatyard’s The Unforeseen Wilderness August 6, 2021 – February 13, 2022 This exhibition of Ralph Eugene Meatyard’s The Unforeseen Wilderness celebrated the acquisition of a remarkable portfolio of 56 photographs depicting Kentucky’s own Red River Gorge.

In 1962, the Army Corps of Engineers received approval from Congress to dam the Red River in east-central Kentucky in an effort to control decades-long flooding in the area. In response, the University Press of Kentucky commissioned poet and essayist Wendell Berry to write a book advocating the preservation of the Gorge in its natural state and engaged Lexington photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard to produce photographs to accompany the text.

Meatyard’s photographs, one of the first photographic attempts at environmental conservation in the American South, played a vital role in the decades-long effort to preserve the Gorge.

Unlike the artist’s signature depictions of blurred forms, eerie dolls, and children wearing strange masks, Meatyard’s photographs for Unforeseen Wilderness captured a mystery borne of the natural landscape, where trees and rocks are engulfed in saturated shadows. He captured the beauty of the landscape from a hiker’s perspective and invited us to discover the intimate details of nature that can only be experienced at close range, whether it’s a patch of lichen growing on the side of a tree or the way light plays on the surface of a spider web.

EXHIBITIONS Something in the Water

By Community Connections Artist-In-Residence Shauntrice Martin December 5, 2021 – February 20, 2022 An exhibition by the Speed’s first ever Community Connections Artist-in-Residence, Shauntrice Martin. Shauntrice’s work is a post-modern expression of her journey to reach the other side of the barrier that keeps Black artists trapped by and connected to white supremacy. Her residency focused on children and caregivers in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood.

“During antiquity, Africans poured libations to celebrate our ancestors. That tradition continues today. Our Indigenous water protectors risked their lives to preserve our most precious resources.

Cattails, rivercane, escape routes, spiritual renewal—none of these could exist without water.

My work represents the parallel struggles of my Choctaw and African ancestors. The repeated images of feathers, cowry shells, gold, and melanin demonstrate what and who we’ve lost along the way. Unfortunately there are some stories we will never know. This exhibit is dedicated to those stories that never made it to the history books...

Something in the Water explores the Choctaw and African women whose legacy flows through my blood and how water plays a role in both parts of my heritage. From bone collectors to Kakilambe dancers to modern day healers we venerate our ancestors with libations.”

—Shauntrice Martin

EXHIBITIONS Sanford Biggers: Codeswitch March 18 – June 26, 2022 Sanford Biggers: Codeswitch was the first survey of quilt-based works—inspired, in part, by the rich creative legacies of African American quilters—produced by the American interdisciplinary artist Sanford Biggers (born 1970). The works, part of Biggers’s Codex series, consisted of mixedmedia paintings and sculptures done directly on or made from antique American quilts. Through this process, Biggers produced works that signaled the original quilters’ creative intent and presented new layers of meaning through his artistic interventions.

Sanford Biggers’ work is an interplay of narrative, perspective, and history that speaks to current social, political, and economic happenings while also examining the contexts that bore them.

His diverse practice positions him as a collaborator with the past through explorations of oftenoverlooked cultural and political narratives from American history.

Sanford Biggers: Codeswitch was co-organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought, and co-curated by Dr. Andrea Andersson and Antonio Sergio Bessa.

Sanford Biggers: Codeswitch was co-organized by Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought, New Orleans, and The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York and curated by Andrea Andersson, (Founding Director and Chief Curator, Rivers Institute) and Sergio Bessa (former Director of Curatorial Programs, Bronx Museum). The exhibition and catalog are made possible by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund: Culpeper Arts & Culture Program, Henry Luce Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Massimo De Carlo, David Castillo Gallery, Monique Meloche Gallery, Baldwin Gallery, and Yale University Press.

EXHIBITIONS Can I Grow? The Metamorphosis of the Black Woman

By Community Connections Artist-in-Residence Ashlee Phillips June 24, 2022 – August 21, 2022 “Can I Grow? The Metamorphosis of the Black Woman (2022) is an immersive experience that invites the community to travel back in time through a range of emotions while being fully immersed in the nostalgia of life. With thrifted secondhand material, I have created a living room that embodies the style one would have seen in an elder’s home during the late 70s to mid-90s. In turn, it generates a moment where modern meets matriarch, allowing the experience to be one of leisure, inclusion, simplicity, and remembrance...

Whether it’s looking through the community photo album placed on the coffee table or treating yourself to a piece of butterscotch found in a stained glass dish, you are encouraged to take part in your own growth by remembering where you’ve been.

I invite you to bloom.”

EXHIBITIONS Pictures from Pieces: Quilts from the Eleanor Bingham Miller Collection March 18 – August 21, 2022 Pictures from Pieces celebrated the generous gifts of ten American quilts from Louisville’s Eleanor Bingham Miller. Miller began seriously collecting quilts—particularly those made by Kentucky women—in the 1980s, inspired by her work as one of the co-founders of the Kentucky Quilt Project, a landmark program devoted to documenting Kentucky quilts, their histories, and their makers.

The quilts, spanning over a century from the 1850s to the 1960s, are intricate testimonials to their makers’ diverse creative talents; each artist possessed a unique eye for transforming pattern and color into works of art.

EXHIBITIONS Community Connections: The Promise August 19 – October 23, 2022 The Promise is a research and artmaking program which began in March 2022, facilitating collective healing, reflection, and creative expression for members of the Black community in Louisville who have been affected by gun violence and is part of the Speed’s Community Connections workshop series, building on the public engagement framework that grew out of the Museum’s 2021 exhibition Promise, Witness, Remembrance, which reflected on the life of Breonna Taylor, her killing in 2020, and the year of protests that followed in Louisville and around the world.

Led by multimedia artist and educator Roberto Visani and co-facilitated by Dr. Gaberiel Jones, Jr., assistant professor at the University of Louisville School of Public Health and Information Sciences, The Promise workshop series combined evidence-based participatory action research with education and facilitated discussion on the root causes of gun violence, its effects on the Black community, and racial trauma, as well as extensive mentorship and resources for participants to explore new artmaking techniques for self-expression. The final works were displayed in The Promise exhibition, which opened August 19, 2022.

Support for The Promise was provided by the Ford Foundation, an Engagement Scholarship Consortium Research/Creative Activities Grant through the University of Louisville, a Fund for the Arts ArtsMatch grant, and Falls Art Foundry, who donated their space for the community iron pour.

CONSERVATION EFFORTS Adopt an Artwork In 2022 there were six artworks that went through the conservation process thanks to the wonderful support of adoptions through the Adopt-an-Artwork program.

In the curatorial department, part of our role is to present the art in the Speed’s permanent collection to the public in the best possible manner. The restoration and conservation of the artworks in our collection is an ever-present concern. The “Adopt an Artwork” program as a way for our supporters to participate in the process of restoration. There is something for everyone—from medieval reliquaries to Impressionist paintings to contemporary sculpture. This program allows the public to deepen their connection with chosen artworks through learning about behind-the-scenes conservation and restoration efforts giving them an opportunity to discuss with the curator the issues surrounding the object, why it needs repair or restoration, and the conservation process.

This program has allowed the public an improved experience of artworks by getting works in need of conservation the tender love and care they need. This program also improves the publics education in conservation efforts by allowing them to be a part of the process themselves and get a firsthand experience with how restoration is identified, instigated, and completed, allowing them to deepen their connection to the role of the Speed Art Museum as a steward of art and education.

“2022 was the first year I was engaged with the Adopt-an-Artwork program, and I was thrilled to see folks become intimate with their adoptee while learning what goes into preserving and upholding artwork. The program works by bridging the gap between one’s love of art and artwork itself as a physical object in time. The most exciting moment is having artworks re-installed looking amazing and radiating the love poured into them through this program” —Tierra Deacon 65
