DIRECTOR’S WELCOME
Kennedy Museum of Art continues to expand its footprint. Renovations this
year have and will allow greater public access to more spaces within the building.
The improvements are coming to fruition because insightful and altruistic donors
care that visitors to the Museum enjoy enriched and pleasant experiences.
Visitors will be pleased to learn accessibility is significantly better, particularly
for those who have difficulty negotiating steep stairs. Thanks to an anonymous
donor, the Museum’s west tower now houses an interior wheelchair lift and a
tiered staircase leading to the first floor. Renovations to the tower also permit
guests to enter the building at ground level. Regardless of which front entrance
is used, all visitors will note the new glass wall in the main lobby. This is a very
important addition because the wall functions as an airlock that will limit cold blasts
of air from sweeping down the main corridor. As such, volunteers, staff members,
and art on display will be in a comfortable and controlled environment.
Another renovation project in the east tower is just beginning, thanks to a
gift from Wilfred and Ann Lee Konneker. The space is designated for our new
café, which is scheduled to open later this year. Once open, the café will offer
selected breakfast and lunch foods and beverages. A selection of logo and
exhibition related gift items will also be available for purchase. The café will
accommodate customers by being open before the Museum galleries. A café
task force comprised of Vanessa Kaukonen, Jim Coady, Matt Rapposelli and
myself developed the business plan for the new enterprise, which will support
the Museum’s operating budget. Both Konnekers are long time supporters of the
Museum and Ann Lee currently serves on the KMA Advisory Board.
A third renovation project currently in the planning stage is the Harvey and
Deborah Breverman Print Study and Research Center. When open, the Center
and an archival room will create new spaces for scholars and students to do indepth
research on prints by Harvey Breverman and other artists in the collection.
The Brevermans, both alums of Ohio University, graciously funded the Center
as well as donated prints by Harvey and other celebrated artists. Selected works
by Harvey Breverman will be featured at the Museum through the end of this
year. Harvey is a retired Distinguished Professor from the University at Buffalo in
Buffalo, New York.
Kennedy Museum of Art deeply appreciates the generous donations that make
these projects possible. The contributions from these and other donors enable us
to offer enhanced experiences to you – the visitor.

Museum’s Students
Find Value, Fun, and
Future Careers
An important element of Kennedy
Museum of Art is the relationship between
its staff and Ohio University students. All
involved have expressed how enjoyable that
connection is. Andy DeVelvis, an assistant
preparator at the Museum, says, “I’ve had a
great experience working at Kennedy. There
is a great balance between manual labor and
desk work.” Casey Clem, former registrarial
assistant, says “working at the Museum was
my favorite part about going to college at
OU.” Many students have come here because
of their passion for the fine arts. Chelsea
Wonski, OU’10, political science, now a
graduate student and weekend manager, says
she chose to work here because she has “a
deep admiration for art in all forms.” Katelyn
Renner, a curatorial research assistant, wanted
to be “more involved with the art community
and museum.” Students also gain valuable
work experience. Andrea Harless, political
science major and a museum public relations
Photo By Amanda Wehrman
assistant at the Museum, conveys, “working
at the Museum has given me a really good
ground to stand on in the public relations
world. I’ve learned a lot of the basics that I will
need to use daily in this profession.” Being
involved in the exhibitions has also narrowed
down career paths for certain students like
Kyla Foster, art history, who says, “being
around the artwork and people who love art
has...restated my desire to continue to work in
the art world.”
Kennedy Museum of Art offers a chance
to witness this remarkable collaboration and,
as Amanda Wehrman, OU ’10, formerly the
Museum’s student photographer expresses,
“it is a fantastic place to work and visit.”
PAST STUDENTS: Where are they now?
Trisha Clifford-Sprouse
Trisha Clifford-Sprouse received her bachelors
degree at Columbus College of Art and Design
and, after interning at Harding Hospital in
Worthington, Ohio as an art therapist, she
completed her masters degree in art education
at Ohio University. It was during her time at
Ohio University that Trisha became the first
graduate assistant at Kennedy Museum of
Art. As a graduate intern in the Museum’s
Education Department, Trisha conducted
Saturday art workshops for children and created
an interactive gallery with the exhibition A
Century of Weaving: The Navajo Chief Blanket.
In her current position as Director of Education
at Decorative Arts Center in Lancaster, Ohio,
Trisha focuses on bringing the arts to children
and the community and says that she wants
to “make art accessible to everyone on all
levels.” She continues to implement interactive
learning with art exhibitions as well as outreach
programs, which offer opportunities to students
with financial or emotional needs. She says,
“Art is an integral part of our lives and should
be instilled in children’s lives so they have a
positive avenue to express themselves.” Trisha
continues her work in art therapy with special
needs children and also works as a studio artist.

EXHIBITIONS
Phantoms, Shadows and Phenomena
Kennedy Museum of Art is proud
to present Phantoms, Shadows and
Phenomena, an exhibition which will be
on view during the winter and spring
quarters. Working with artists such as
Mat Collishaw, Laura Larson, Hirsch
Perlman, Adam Putnam, Dana Sherwood,
and Victor Vazquez, the exhibition uses
video and photography to examine the
notion of the seen and unseen, where
reality is blurred with illusion and fantasy.
British artist Mat Collishaw invites
the viewer into a fantasyland with his
“Fairy Story” works, which capture
the spirit of dreaming through stunning
and seductive visual imagery. His work
incorporates images of the Cottingley
fairy photographs, which were staged
photographs of three young sisters that
were originally thought to be real records
of elves and fairies. Collishaw presents
these images with the glow of ultraviolet
light, suspending this fairy tale land
between truth and fiction. By maintaining
a world of enchantment and reverie,
Collishaw explores the relationship
between representation and reality.
The exhibition will also feature the
work of photographer Laura Larson.
Her work titled “Asylum” is a series of
images that were taken in the cells and
hallways that were once the women’s
dormitories of the former Athens Lunatic
Asylum in Athens, Ohio. Concerned with
the notions of the real and reproduced
that have defined photography, Larson’s
work challenges what she calls “the
desire to trust our eyes.” The ghostly
apparitions captured in her work give
shape to the haunting stories surrounding
the Asylum and force the viewer to
consider, at least for a moment, the
reality of the imagined and contemplate
the fragile notions of our memories
and the past. She says, “these pictures
imagine what the medium was like for
nineteenth century audiences – how
magic and truth become indistinguishable
in the photograph.”
Delving deeper into the unknown
is the work by Hirsch Perlman, which
consists of photographs and videos that
depict unfamiliar landscapes, mysterious
situations and peculiar characters, and
inexplicable phenomena. His work “Nine
Lives” includes black-and-white prints
of striped cats that were taken with a
slow exposure and blown up to images
of large proportion. By capturing the
movement of these felines, Perlman
offers a beautiful and disturbing series
of blurred images that alter the viewer’s
perception of reality.
Phantoms, Shadows and
Phenomena presents a world of reality
that is questioned, performed and at
times embellished. Using video and
photography, the artists explore the
occult landscape where real becomes
fictional, the known befalls the unknown.
Such images of illusion bring up
suspicion; yet tempt the fickle mind to
believe, to see the unseen and to bring
back the nostalgia for illusion and magic.

CHRIS PAYNE
Throughout the nineteenth century,
a great number of mental hospitals
were built around the United States.
Photographer Chris Payne spent six
years visiting over seventy of these
buildings in thirty states, including
the Athens, Ohio State Hospital,
capturing these institutions in what
he says is “a more objective light,
by making palpable their incredible
architecture, their operations as
thriving self-sufficient communities,
and the vital role they once played in
American society.” An architect by
training, Chris Payne expresses the
intimate connection he made with
these vanishing structures and how
he felt a sense of “responsibility as,
perhaps, their final documenter.” His

Making Cross-Cultural Connections
Kennedy Museum of Art is proud
to announce that twenty-three
Navajo weavings from the Edwin
L. and Ruth E. Kennedy Southwest
Native American Collection and
related activities with Navajo weaver
D.Y. Begay have been selected for
exhibition in Guatemala and Bolivia.
Both countries have a large number
of indigenous populations and value
weaving as an important cultural
tradition. Sponsored by the U.S.
Patient Bedroom, Chris Payne,
Athens State Hospital, 2004
opened in August at Kennedy Museum
of Art, allows viewers to gain a new
understanding and appreciation of these
institutions as a fundamental part of
American history.
Embassy in Bolivia, the exhibition
Tradition and Practice strives to
connect these populations from across
the world through shared traditional
practices and promote a mutual
understanding of different cultural
values and knowledge. The weavings
are on exhibit at Museo Ixchel,
Guatemala City, Guatemala and will
travel to Museo Nacional de Etnografia
y Folklore (MUSEF), Bolivia, and Museo
de Arte Indigena, Bolivia, in October.

COLLECTOR’S SOCIETY
Man with Mask – Recent Acquisition
The purchase of Man with Mask,
2009, by artist SunKoo Yuh was made
possible thanks to the generous
contribution of Friends of Kennedy
Museum and donor-supported
Kennedy Museum of Art acquisition
funds. Korean-born artist Sunkoo Yuh
(b.1960) is known for his large-scale,
hand-built porcelain figures adorned by
countless vibrant overlapping glazes.
Man with Mask, 2009, one of Yuh’s
smaller sculptures at 21 x 14 x 11
inches, was on display at the recent
Kennedy Museum of Art exhibition
titled Cultural Order/Natural Chaos:
Sculptures and Drawings by Sunkoo
Yuh.
Immaculately crafted, Man with
Mask is a stately example of Yuh’s
use of wit and pathos, combining
playfulness and whimsy. Balancing the
good and the bad side of things, Yuh’s
characters engage in dynamic interplay
that he describes as “the mundane
life.” The sculpture Man with Mask
depicts two men, a woman, a seated
tiger and a fish that leaps upward with
its jaws ajar. The older of the two men
wears a traditional Korean hair knot and
looms over the remaining figures, eyes
closed, mask attached to the back of
his head. For Yuh, the mask symbolizes
both security and deliberate collusion.
The tiger, Yuh’s favored animal, and the
figure of the older man both represent
the good - the protectors, guardians,
and faith keepers. The other side of
the sculpture renders the remaining
figures as the bad and the ominous.
The most easily identified villain is the
young man, a vampire-fanged figure,
gesturing the peace sign and placidly
caressing the woman’s exposed
breasts. Defining Yuh’s principal
themes of questing for cultural identity
and recalling memories both individual
and collective, he employs both known
and invented symbols, metaphors and
folklore to study the human condition
and poke fun at the absurd.
This purchase enriches the
Museum’s collection and brings a
renewed interest in exhibiting and
collecting ceramics. Gladys Stern,
president of Friends of Kennedy
Museum said: “The Friends of KMA,
true to its mission of supporting
the Museum, was delighted to help
with the purchase of Yuh’s glorious
ceramic piece.” Stern, who previewed
Yuh’s exhibition spoke further on her
experience with the artwork. “His
images have a way of imprinting
themselves in one’s mind as you walk
around the sculptures and ponder the
unusual relationships presented to the
viewer.”
Growing the permanent collection
of art supports Kennedy Museum of
Art’s mission. With the purchase of
Yuh’s work, the Museum would like
to extend an invitation to the public
to join a new program that allows
its members to contribute important
works of art and participate in their
selection by joining the Collector’s
Society (see inset for information).
Man with Mask is a significant addition
to the Museum’s permanent collection
and offers a unique opportunity to
examine this contemporary figurative
work, inspired by Asian culture and
tradition.
COLLECTOR’S SOCIETY
The Collector’s Society invites art
enthusiasts to join a program that
plays a prominent role in the growth of
the Museum’s permanent collection.
Collector’s Society members will
create a personal relationship with
the Museum, meet others who share
appreciation for the arts, become part of
behind-the-scenes tours of the Kennedy
Museum of Art exhibitions, attend
special group tours, receptions and
dinners, and participate in the selection
process of artwork. For Collector’s
Society membership, please contact
Beth Tragert (tragerte@ohio.edu or
740-593-1304) to receive additional
information.

EDUCATION
Exploring Themes in
the Education Gallery
The OU College of Fine Arts
celebrates the timely theme of
Environment this year, providing KMA
an opportunity to interpret objects
in the collections within the context
of this subject. Education staff and
student interns have chosen to
investigate ties that exist between
selected objects in the Edwin L. and
Ruth E. Kennedy Southwest Native
American Collection and the landscape
that influenced their production. The
collection reflects the post-World
War II fascination with the American
Southwest, from the turquoise “boom”
to more complex connections with the
mining of uranium in the area.
The path that an object travels,
from the hands of the maker to the
galleries of a museum, is a crucial
element in the understanding of the
object’s significance. The cultural
stories surrounding the Southwest
Native American Collection are as
intriguing as the meaning embodied
in the objects. The Education Gallery,
which accompanies Selections from
the Permanent Collections, focuses on
objects whose stories are intimately
tied to practices of mining the earth.
Edwin Kennedy began collecting in
the Southwest in the early 1950s, at a
time when the tourism industry in the
area was growing rapidly and consumer
demand for turquoise, in particular
jewelry, was high. The turquoise
objects he collected represent “classic”
southwestern mines, which have
produced some of the best turquoise
in the world, many of which were
depleted in the last century.
Also in the early 1950s the country
had begun to focus on uranium as a
source of energy. The Navajo Nation
was swept into the rush to mine
uranium ore as the U.S. entered the
nuclear age. For many Navajo, work in
the mines was the only
form of employment
available on or near the
reservation. Many of the
sandpainting weavings
Kennedy collected
were created by Alberta
Thomas, whose husband
Carl was one of hundreds
of Navajo men who
worked in the mines of
the Red Valley area. By
the late1970s uranium
mining on Navajo lands
had ceased and the
turquoise “boom” was
waning. However, the
severe consequences
of mining practices are
still a reality for both the
environment and the
people.
The Education
Gallery functions as a
“lab” gallery, where
student interns have the opportunity
to research, design, and install
exhibitions from KMA collections and
to develop accompanying educational
programming. The Environment theme
is a project by Kat Hammond, 2008-
2010 Graduate Assistant; Kyla Foster,
2009-2011 Service Learning Intern; and
Tony Mannira 2009-2011 PACE Design
Intern.
Kyla Foster installs jewelry from the Southwest Native
American Collection.

The Inside/Outside art talk series
that the Friends have been sponsoring
for many years has expanded its topics
to include artists in several art forms.
In addition to introducing our local and
regional artists in painting, drawing,
photography, fabric arts, graphic
design, and ceramics, we are now
introducing jewelry designers, theater
lighting designers and composers to
our community. As a result of the talk
by Sandy Plunkett in Novermber 2008,
the Ohio University Press published
a book in May 2010 called “The Way
of a Wayward Comic Book Artist: The
Private Sketchbooks of S. Plunkett.”
We are delighted to have been a
catalyst for this publication. The Native
American jewelry sales at the Museum
in conjunction with Good Girl Jewelry
continue to attract visitors during
the pre-Christmas period and Mom’s
Weekend. Friends of Kennedy Museum
members receive a 10% discount on
purchases and have an opportunity to
volunteer as salespersons during the
sales. At this year’s annual meeting,
a beautiful silver pendant signed by a
Native American artist was raffled. The
lucky winner was Julie Pagan.

Tribute to
HERMAN LEONARD
OU ‘47, Jazz Photographer
March 6, 1923 –
August 14, 2010
Herman Leonard captured
the essence of the jazz scene
throughout the 20th century with
his acute sense of what made an
unrehearsed moment legendary.
The legacy he leaves in his vast
body of photographic work will
help keep alive the phenomenal
talents and stories that touched him
throughout his career. His modesty
and graciousness will be cherished
by all those lucky enough to have
spent time with him. Kennedy
Museum of Art is thankful to have
been a small part of Mr. Leonard’s
legacy and to share his memory
and spirit with our community
through his images.

CONTRIBUTE
Renovations Enhance the Visitor’s Experience
Kennedy Museum of Art is now
offering a more convenient, efficient,
and delicious way to make the
mornings and afternoons easier. For
those arriving at The Ridges, getting
a morning cup of coffee or something
to eat can be difficult because there
are currently no food vendors on The
Ridges. Visitors to the Museum and
other Ridges locations can only buy
food and beverages in town before
coming to the area. Funded through
a gracious donation given to the
Museum by the Konnecker family, a
café will be built in the east tower on
the main floor of the Museum. A task
force comprised of Vanessa Kaukonen,
KMA Advisory Board member, James
Coady, Friends of KMA board member,
Matt Rapposelli, executive chef,
Ohio University, and Edward Pauley,
the Museum’s director, has worked
closely with University Planning and
Implementation (UPI) to create the
café. Construction will begin during fall
2010. The café will offer both carry-out
and dine-in services and will include
items such as beverages, sandwiches,
and baked goods along
with selected gift items.
Because the café will
open early and operate
throughout the day, visitors
will be able to enjoy their
purchases in the café
before or after they visit
the Museum galleries,
at their offices or while
enjoying the surrounding
architecture of The Ridges.
Proceeds will support
Kennedy Museum of Art
operations and offerings.
The café is just one of
the important changes
coming to the Museum.
Construction is now
complete on an accessible
entrance located in the
west tower on the main
floor of the Museum. This
project was made possible
by the generous donation
of a long-term supporter of
Kennedy Museum of Art.
The new entrance boasts
an elevator that will enable those who
have difficulty navigating the front
stairs of the Museum to have easier
access to the building. A glass wall,
built inside the Museum’s large foyer,
will have a dual purpose. It will help
with climate control, especially in the
winter when cold winds make the foyer
uncomfortably cold, and it will allow
visitors to access the café during hours
when the Museum itself is not open to
the public.
Kennedy Museum of Art invites
students, faculty, and visitors to take
pleasure in these exciting additions
that are designed to enrich the overall
experience to the Museum.
Online Magazine
With an eye toward preserving financial
and natural resources, Kennedy Museum
of Art offers an online version of this
magazine available on the Museum’s
website (http://www.ohio.edu/museum/
magazine.html). Appealing to a broader
range of readers, this virtual edition
is designed to look and feel like a
magazine while reducing the amount
of paper being consumed. Readers
will now be able to interact with the
Museum’s collections and have better
access to the opportunities offered by
the Museum through links and ongoing
updates incorporated into the pages of
the virtual Magazine. A limited number of
hard copies of the Magazine will also be
available for those members who wish to
continue receiving a printed edition.
