oard <strong>of</strong> advisorsWhat does one say about the incredibleleadership that has been shown by KimRorschach over these past eight years?Oh yes, I’m sure if she had been only halfas good we would have thought we weredoing fine. It’s that second half that madeit extraordinary.From the opening <strong>of</strong> the museum to thewelcoming <strong>of</strong> the campus community,Kim’s leadership has been exemplary.Let’s not forget that the museum hasbrought more citizenry from Durham tothe campus than ever before. We knewthe day was coming when Kim wouldtake the next step in her illustrious careerand, <strong>of</strong> course, it’s always too soon.We wish for her a duplication <strong>of</strong> all thesuccesses at <strong>Duke</strong> at the Seattle <strong>Art</strong><strong>Museum</strong>. They are a fortunate communityto have her leadership.Again, this year was another incredibleone at the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> withAlexander Calder alone drawing morethan 40,000 visitors. We continue todevelop our collection and since ouropening in 2005 we have grown theAfrican-American collection to nearthe top <strong>of</strong> all university museums inthe country.

FROM THE FRiEnds bOaRdAs I write comments for the 2011-12 annualreport for this remarkable institution, I aminformed and inspired by a recent visit toThe uncertain museum by Olafur Eliasson.The artist’s genius, for me, is in thecreation <strong>of</strong> a pleasing physical structurethat enables visitors to create their ownexperience <strong>of</strong> the art. Barriers are blurred,boundaries are broken.That is the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> at its best,and there is nothing “uncertain” about whatwe have accomplished in the past fiscalyear. The museum has been challenging,innovative, inclusive and nurturing in itsintentions to teach, enlighten and entertainthe broadest possible audience. <strong>Duke</strong>students and faculty, school childrenfrom Durham and the region, the casualvisitor and the most devoted supporter areconsidered in the vast array <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ferings.Peruse the calendar and the amazingevents that take place on a weekly basis willastound you.The mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>Friends Board is to promote broaderawareness <strong>of</strong> the museum’s programs andexhibitions, and to solidify and increasemembership support. This year we havebeen “in action” in many different ways toaccomplish this goal.We planned and supported the annualbenefit gala, Changing the Game, whichraised significant unrestricted dollars forthe museum. Coach K and members <strong>of</strong> theBlue Devils Men’s Basketball team wereour featured guests, as we celebrated theuniversity’s excellence in the fields <strong>of</strong> sportand art —and contemplated the intersectionbetween the two.We enjoyed a significant increase inthe museum’s membership, due to theamazing Calder exhibition, a ticketedexhibition to which members received tw<strong>of</strong>ree tickets each day and more, dependingon their level <strong>of</strong> support.We created a Membership Task Forceunder the leadership <strong>of</strong> Carol O’Briento study our current structure, to makerecommendations to ensure our continuedvibrancy as a Friends group, and to enhanceour efficacy in attracting and retainingmembership constituents.We continued to monitor the great work<strong>of</strong> our Outreach Task Force under theleadership <strong>of</strong> Paula Flood and Doug Zinn.The community ties we have forged andnurtured with the East Durham Children’sInitiative, Y.E. Smith School, Durham PublicLibrary and others reveal our enduringcommitment as a resource.I want to thank outgoing director KimRorschach, who has that rare combinationin a leader: strength, integrity, honesty,passion. She positioned the museum tosucceed and reach new exciting heights. Iam glad to know her, and I am certain shewill always support the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> aswe cheer her on in Seattle.I also wish to express my appreciation to theretiring Friends’ Board members for theirunselfish contribution <strong>of</strong> time, talent andtreasure to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> during thepast three years: Diane Evia-Lanevi, JuneMichaux, Carol O’Brien, Francine Pill<strong>of</strong>f and<strong>Art</strong>hur Rogers.Finally, I close by saying what a pleasureit is to serve as the Friends Board President.If you are a current member <strong>of</strong> the museum,I thank you. If you are not a current member,I invite your inquiry and engagement.Ann W. CraverPresident<strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> Friends BoardSee full listing <strong>of</strong> Friends Board on page 45.Friends Board728031_Text.indd 711/28/12 3:24 AM


from the student advisory boardThroughout the 2011-<strong>2012</strong> academic year,the <strong>Nasher</strong> Student Advisory Board (NSAB)pursued a two-dimensional objective: topresent events to <strong>Duke</strong> students andthe greater Durham population and tostrengthen the internal structure <strong>of</strong> theboard itself, in hopes <strong>of</strong> creating a moreefficient and effective organization. Assuch, the academic year was marked byfive major events featuring important socialthemes, collaborations with area collegesand new museum precedents.As is tradition each Orientation Week, the<strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> welcomed 1,200 freshmenstudents to their first museum event, “ANight at the <strong>Nasher</strong>.” This event is designedto expose <strong>Duke</strong> students to the museum’sfacilities and exhibitions early on and iswidely held to be a freshman favorite.The next two fall-semester events were<strong>Art</strong> for All events–a type <strong>of</strong> programmingdesigned to target <strong>Duke</strong> students andalso welcome Durhamites while focusingon a single, temporary exhibition. The first,“XX” in October, celebrated feminist arton view in The Deconstructive Impulse.The NSAB celebrated gallery acousticsand fostered a more intimate viewingexperience by hosting the <strong>Duke</strong> femalestudent a cappella group Out <strong>of</strong> the Blueand a free, somewhat satirical screening<strong>of</strong> the 1974 educational film, “Women inManagement: Threat or Opportunity?” froma vintage 16-mm print. Throughout theevening, photographers from Latent Image(<strong>Duke</strong>’s photography magazine) tookpr<strong>of</strong>essional-quality portraits <strong>of</strong> guests,and visitors decorated oven mitts. For the<strong>Art</strong> for All event in November, the NSABcollaborated with students at the NorthCarolina Central <strong>University</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>for “Double Exposure,” cross-promotingthe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s exhibition Becomingand the NCCU <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s Let YourMotto Be Resistance: African AmericanPortraits. The black-and-white theme <strong>of</strong>the event, hosted simultaneously at eachmuseum, played <strong>of</strong>f the black and whitephotography featured in each exhibition,and included multiple gallery talks, livejazz music and spoken word poetry. Busestransported about 300 students and localresidents between the campuses.The board’s most exciting event was ared-carpet soiree in late February, “ClassicHollywood,” where nearly 1,600 studentswalked the red carpet in their finest semiformalattire to celebrate the exhibitionAlexander Calder and Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>and dance the night away with a rocking liveband. Students enjoyed gourmet popcorn, anextremely popular photo booth, movie theatercandy and Oscar-inspired munchies. Theevent focused on undergraduate seniors, asthis is was most likely their last big event atthe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, and beautifully mirroredtheir first-year “Night at the <strong>Nasher</strong>” party. Tothat end, we partnered with the Senior ClassCouncil and the <strong>Annual</strong> Fund to create anenclosed senior lounge and giveaways forthe senior class. The NSAB employed anextensive marketing campaign surroundingthis event—emails, online invitations, aFacebook page, tabling on both East andWest campuses and for the first time, aNSAB Twitter page—and we are thrilled toreport that it was the best-attended studentevent ever at the museum.The final <strong>Art</strong>-for-All event <strong>of</strong> the year,“Comfy with Calder,” was a casual eveningevent in early March, designed to be amidterm study break.In addition to planning our own events, theNSAB also focused on bolstering studentpresence at <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> events suchas the Thursday evening film series andthe gallery talk on Outsider <strong>Art</strong>.We wish to thank Juline Chevalier, curator<strong>of</strong> education, and Kathy Wright, specialevents coordinator, for their generoussupport <strong>of</strong> the NSAB.Reshma Kalimi (T’12)Andrew Huff (T’12)Co-chairs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> Student Advisory BoardSee full listing <strong>of</strong> the Student AdvisoryBoard on page 45.Student Advisory Board928031_Text.indd 911/28/12 3:24 AM

from the faculty advisory committee<strong>Duke</strong> faculty continued to play an activerole in the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>—organizingexhibitions, giving talks, consulting, creatingcomplementary classes and projects, andadvising on art acquisitions.In four meetings last year, the FacultyAdvisory Committee reported oncollaborations with the summer readingprogram and the medical school, generatedideas for faculty involvement with upcomingexhibitions and discussed new webresources for faculty and students as wellas opportunities for virtual exhibitions andcuration to encourage online participation.One <strong>of</strong> the year’s most exciting exhibitions,The Deconstructive Impulse, was enhancedby Kim Lamm, assistant pr<strong>of</strong>essor in<strong>Duke</strong>’s Women’s Studies Program. Shegave a gallery talk and also designed acomplementary course, “Feminist <strong>Art</strong> fromthe 1970s to the Present,” which used theexhibition as primary material.I am pleased also to acknowledge <strong>Duke</strong>graduate student Katie Jentleson, whohelped to research and write wall labelsfor Angels, Devils and the ElectricSlide: Outsider <strong>Art</strong> from the PermanentCollection.Faculty members Sumathi Ramaswamy,pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> history, and Philip Stern,assistant pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> history and codirector<strong>of</strong> the BorderWork(s) Lab at <strong>Duke</strong>’sFranklin Humanities Institute, have workedclosely with <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> curatorsSarah Schroth and Trevor Schoonmaker tocoordinate the upcoming exhibition 2013Lines <strong>of</strong> Control. That exhibition exploresthe creation and maintenance <strong>of</strong> borders,physical as well as psychological, withmulti-disciplinary implications in the fields<strong>of</strong> geography, cartography, political science,public policy, history, economics andenvironmental studies.The project “Rivalrous Masculinities:Images <strong>of</strong> the Male Body over Time,” underthe supervision <strong>of</strong> Ann Marie Rasmussen,pr<strong>of</strong>essor in <strong>Duke</strong>’s Department <strong>of</strong>Germanic Languages and Literature,comprises a series <strong>of</strong> undergraduateseminars at <strong>Duke</strong> that will meet virtuallywith similar seminars being held at the<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Hamburg, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>Frankfurt and <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bamberg.The goal is to create a series <strong>of</strong> studentcuratedexhibitions, cumulating in anexhibition at the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> in2013-14, with a parallel exhibition at theCity <strong>Museum</strong> in Bamberg, Germany.Caroline Bruzelius, Anne M. CoganPr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, <strong>Art</strong> History & VisualStudies, and Mark Olson, assistantpr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> visual and media studies,worked with students on the upcomingexhibition <strong>of</strong> the museum’s Brummercollection <strong>of</strong> Medieval and Renaissance art.Their spring <strong>2012</strong> seminar, “The <strong>Museum</strong>Inside/Out: Sculpture in Context,” waspart <strong>of</strong> the “Wired! New RepresentationalTechnologies” series <strong>of</strong> courses in Visualand Media Studies. Using the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong> as a laboratory, the students andpr<strong>of</strong>essors experimented with a variety<strong>of</strong> digital tools, such as laser scanning,photogrammetry, geo-mapping andrestorative 2D/3D digital modeling to <strong>of</strong>fernon-invasive meditations on objects. Theycreated five 3D digital models <strong>of</strong> works inthe permanent collection.Last, but hardly least, I am happy to reportthat Patricia Leighten, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>History & Visual Studies at <strong>Duke</strong>, is workingwith Sarah Schroth to co-organize LightSensitive, an exhibition <strong>of</strong> more than 100works drawn from leading North Carolinacollections, for winter 2013.Sincerely,Kristine StilesFrance Family Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, <strong>Art</strong> History &Visual StudiesChair, Faculty Advisory CommitteeSee full listing <strong>of</strong> the Faculty AdvisoryCommittee on page 45.Faculty Advisory Committee1128031_Text.indd 1112/5/12 10:01 AM

BECOMINGPhotographs from the Wedge CollectionAugust 11, 2011 - January 8, <strong>2012</strong>Brenda La Grange Johnson and Heather Johnson Sargent PavilionBecoming: Photographs from the Wedge Collection was a significant exhibition, unusual for a regional artmuseum, featuring more than 100 original photographic portraits <strong>of</strong> people <strong>of</strong> color. The exhibition was wellsuited for Durham, which was once a major center <strong>of</strong> African American entrepreneurship and possesses arich cultural history.The portraits were taken over the past 100 years by more than 60 global artists. In some <strong>of</strong> the portraits, thesubjects have little or no control over the way they were depicted; in others, the subjects become increasinglyinvolved with the photographer. All <strong>of</strong> the artists reject a common tendency to view black communities interms <strong>of</strong> conflict or stereotype. Becoming included studio portraitists (Malick Sidibé, James VanDerZee),social documentarians (Milton Rogovin, Jürgen Schadeberg), conceptual artists (Hank Willis Thomas, CarrieMae Weems) and young contemporary artists whose work is largely unknown in this country (Zanele Muholi,Viviane Sassen).The work was on loan from the collection <strong>of</strong> Dr. Kenneth Montague, who organized the exhibition. Montague,a dentist based in Toronto, has collected contemporary art since the 1990s. He grew up in the Canadian bordertown <strong>of</strong> Windsor, where he was influenced by the African American culture across the river, in Detroit.Becoming was complemented by free programs, including a curator conversation with Kenneth Montagueand Trevor Schoonmaker, Patsy R. and Raymond D. <strong>Nasher</strong> Curator <strong>of</strong> Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>; a Family Day event,a talk by celebrated English filmmaker and artist John Akomfrah and screening <strong>of</strong> his film Mnemosyne, and aFirst Thursday gallery talk by Richard J. Powell, <strong>Duke</strong>’s John Spencer Bassett Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong> History.Students at <strong>Duke</strong> and North Carolina Central <strong>University</strong> organized an <strong>Art</strong> for All event to celebrate NCCU<strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s concurrent exhibition, Let Your Motto Be Resistance, with refreshments, live music and busesbetween both university art museums.Becoming was supported by the Mary <strong>Duke</strong> Biddle Foundation, Paula and Eugene Flood, the GraduateLiberal Studies program at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>, and Gail Belvett, DDS.Becoming1328031_Text.indd 1312/3/12 8:38 PM


LAnD, SEA AnD Sky In THE nInETEEnTH CEnTURyAugust 27, 2011 - January 29, <strong>2012</strong>Pavilion IIIThis installation from the permanent collection presented the dominant American styles <strong>of</strong> landscape paintingleading up to the 20th century, including the Hudson River School, Tonalism and the American BarbizonSchool. During the second half <strong>of</strong> the 1800s, the United States was rapidly changing as a result <strong>of</strong> the IndustrialRevolution and the American Civil War (1861-1865). Escaping these realities, the artists involved in these schools<strong>of</strong> landscape painting chose to depict an untamed and unpopulated countryside tinged with nostalgia ratherthan mechanized cityscapes with bustling crowds. Anchoring the exhibition was Alfred T. Bricher’s At the SouthHead, Grand Manan, a gift from John and Anita Schwarz. Also included were landscapes by European artistswhose styles and concerns mirrored those popular in America.TOP: Two <strong>Duke</strong> Men’s Basketball players lean in for a closer look at Adalbert Waagen’s Hunting in the Alps.

ALEXANDER CALDER AND CONTEMPORARY ARTForm, Balance, JoyFebruary 16 - June 17, <strong>2012</strong>Nicholas Benjamin <strong>Duke</strong> Biddle Pavilion and Brenda La Grange Johnson andHeather Johnson Sargent PavilionThe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> devoted two gallery pavilions to Alexander Calder and Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>, presenting afresh perspective on Calder (1898-1976) and his influence on a new generation <strong>of</strong> artists.The exhibition paired 32 master works by Calder with works by seven young artists: Martin Boyce, NathanCarter, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Aaron Curry, Kristi Lippire, Jason Meadows and Jason Middlebrook. Visitorsknow and love Calder as the inventor <strong>of</strong> the mobile, and for his legacy as a modern sculptor. This was the firstexhibition to explore Calder’s influence on an exciting new generation <strong>of</strong> artists. Visitors had a rare chance tosee their work side by side with that <strong>of</strong> Calder, to compare the creative use <strong>of</strong> materials to define space andexplore form, balance, color and movement.The ticketed exhibition was complemented by two Free Family Day events; weeklong residencies with artistsKristi Lippire and Jason Middlebrook; the <strong>Annual</strong> Semans Lecture by <strong>Duke</strong> engineering pr<strong>of</strong>essor HenryPetroski; and “The Calder Project,” three ballets commissioned by the North Carolina Ballet based upon works<strong>of</strong> art in the exhibition. The museum also presented free screenings <strong>of</strong> the 1955 film by Jean Pavileve, “LeGrand Cirque Calder 1927,” and 1961 documentary by Carlos Vilardebo, “Calder’s Circus,” gallery tours, teacherworkshops and other programs. Visitors made their own mobiles in the Mary D.B.T. Semans Great Hall andshared pictures <strong>of</strong> their creations on the museum website.The museum reached out to visitors from the science and engineering communities with two free eveningevents for corporate sponsors <strong>of</strong> the exhibition and their employees, including all employees <strong>of</strong> ResearchTriangle Park, courtesy <strong>of</strong> The Research Triangle Park.Alexander Calder and Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> was organized by Lynne Warren, a curator at the <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong>Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> (MCA), Chicago. The exhibition traveled to the <strong>Nasher</strong> Sculpture Center in Dallas and theOrange County <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> in California. The exhibition was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogueco-published by the MCA and Thames & Hudson.Alexander Calder and Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> was sponsored by The Northern Trust Company.

ANGELS, DEVILS AND THE ELECTRIC SLIDEOutsider <strong>Art</strong> from the Permanent CollectionDecember 10, 2011 - July 8, <strong>2012</strong>Pavilion IIIThe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> presented an exhibition <strong>of</strong> Outsider artists from the permanent collection to complementAlexander Calder and Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>. Outsider art refers to the visionary work <strong>of</strong> contemporary artists whohave never had formal training. The artists, like Calder, share the practice <strong>of</strong> incorporating found objects andunusual materials in their work. The artists in the exhibition hail from across the Southeastern United States,and their art ranges from painting to ceramics to sculpture in wood or metal. All <strong>of</strong> their works give voice to aninterior world—those personal fantasies, meditations on everyday life and unspoken fears–that most peoplecannot put into words or images.Outsider <strong>Art</strong> demonstrated the innovative strategies and imaginative visual languages that result whenOutsider artists follow their irrepressible artistic impulses. It included work by Minnie Black, the Rev. HowardFinster, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Mose Tolliver and Purvis Young. In every case, the artists used unique materialsand creative processes to make their art. Whereas Jimmy Lee Sudduth finger-painted with pigment-tintedmud, Hubert Walters fashioned his Passenger Ship out <strong>of</strong> discarded furniture pieces and Bondo—anindustrial putty that is a staple <strong>of</strong> auto body shops and carpenter tool sheds.The exhibition was complemented by a gallery talk by <strong>Duke</strong> graduate student Katie Jentleson and a freeFamily Day event.Outsider <strong>Art</strong> included gifts and promised gifts from Bruce Lineker, New York, and the Rubell FamilyCollection, Miami.Angels, Devils and the Electric Slide2128031_Text.indd 2111/28/12 1:36 AM

THE BARBRA AND ANDREW ROTHSCHILD LECTuRETHE ANNuAL SEMANS LECTuRETwo important funded lectures continued to prove popular with visitors last year, complementing exhibitionswith important new perspectives. Two anonymous members <strong>of</strong> the Guerrilla Girls, whose work was part <strong>of</strong>The Deconstructive Impulse, gave the Barbra and Andrew Rothschild Lecture on October 13, 2011. HenryPetroski, <strong>Duke</strong>’s Aleksandar S. Vesic Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Civil Engineering and pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> history, gave the <strong>Annual</strong>Semans Lecture on March 15, <strong>2012</strong>.Petroski is widely renowned for his work on the interrelationship between success and failure in design, fromthe pencil to Alexander Calder. He contributed a catalogue essay to the Whitney <strong>Museum</strong>’s Calder exhibitionin 2008. He writes regular columns for American Scientist, ASEE Prism and Design News. In his talk,Petroski told stories <strong>of</strong> Calder’s childhood and development as an artist who always relied on an engineeringbackground in his work.“Calder never went anywhere without a pair <strong>of</strong> pliers in his pocket,” Petroski told the audience. “ ‘Ready to drawin space with industrial steel wire,’ wrote one art critic. Calder had become famous for drawing in a single,continuous line. He could draw faces, he could draw caricatures, he could draw animals, he could draw justabout anything, putting the pen down or the pencil down and just continuing and ending up with the pencilexactly where he wanted to, because he had thought it through as he was doing it. Wire was just a threedimenisonalway <strong>of</strong> thinking. He thought best in wire, he repeatedly said.”In their visit to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, two founding members <strong>of</strong> the Guerrilla Girls kept up the collective’sreputation as feminist masked avengers who stir up audiences all over the world with presentations in fulljungle drag. Their ongoing goal is to expose sexism, racism and corruption in politics, art, film and pop culture.They use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to reveal the subtext, the overlooked and the unfair. In the pastfew years, they have appeared at more than 90 universities and museums, authored billboards, posters andbooks, including The Guerrilla Girls’ Bedside Companion to the History <strong>of</strong> Western <strong>Art</strong>.The Guerrilla Girls threw bananas they described as “feminist” and “transformative” out into the packed lecturehall at the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.“From the very beginning, one <strong>of</strong> our goals was to change people’s minds about that f word—feminism,” one<strong>of</strong> them told the crowd. “We think it’s crazy that people who actually believe the tenets <strong>of</strong> feminism—equalopportunity for women, equal pay for equal work, freedom from sexual abuse and exploitation, the right touniversal education—people believe in those things and those principles but they’ve been so brainwashed by thenegative stereotypes <strong>of</strong> feminism in the media and society that they refuse to identify themselves as feminists.”Much work remains on these issues, the Girls said.“How many <strong>of</strong> you out there identify yourselves as feminists?” one <strong>of</strong> the Girls asked.Many people raised their hands.“How many <strong>of</strong> you are not feminists at all?” the other Girl asked.No one raised a hand. Many people in the audience were “sitting on the fence,” one <strong>of</strong> the Girls said, and theevening’s lecture was dedicated to those visitors.The Lecture Series2528031_Text.indd 2512/3/12 8:38 PM

Changing the game2011 <strong>Nasher</strong> Benefit Gala Featuring Coach Mike Krzyzewski andthe <strong>Duke</strong> Men’s Basketball TeamCoach K changed the game for basketball; the nasher museum is changing the game for museums. thatwonderful connection between art and basketball was cause for celebration at the nasher museum’s annualbenefit gala on October 3, 2011. instead <strong>of</strong> drilling his team in preparation for the season, Coach K and theteam spent the evening mingling with guests and taking in contemporary art with a basketball theme.more than 300 friends <strong>of</strong> the nasher museum—including <strong>Duke</strong> basketball fans and friends from the triangleand beyond—attended the gala. a one-night-only installation throughout the great hall featured four videoworks by internationally renowned contemporary artists artigas, mark Bradford, tracey Rose and Robin Rhode.John Brown & the groove Shop Band delighted guests with a special blend <strong>of</strong> funk, rhythm and blues.in his speech at the gala, Coach K talked about the beauty and greatness <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>.“When you have a place like the nasher museum <strong>of</strong> art, when you have <strong>Duke</strong> Basketball, when you haveJohn Brown and his group playing music here, we basically take sport, art and music and we say let’s betogether one night and feel <strong>Duke</strong>,” he said. “Let’s put <strong>Duke</strong> into our hearts.”President Brodhead focused his remarks on what the nasher museum and <strong>Duke</strong> Basketball have incommon—from player Kyle Singler, a graphic arts major, to grant hill’s collection <strong>of</strong> african-american art onview at the museum in 2006, to the late Raymond D. nasher, the nasher museum’s founder and benefactor,who was captain <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Duke</strong> men’s tennis team.“For me this is the real secret <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong>,” Brodhead said. “there might be universities that have great arts in oneplace, great medicine in one place, great academics in one place, great sports in another place. But at <strong>Duke</strong>the point is that we have all those things, but they are all tied together.”the 2011 event was generously supported by lead underwriter glaxoSmithKline. honorary co-chairs BlakeByrne (chair <strong>of</strong> the museum’s Board <strong>of</strong> advisors), nancy a. nasher (Board <strong>of</strong> advisors member), and former<strong>Duke</strong> men’s Basketball players grant hill, Jay Bilas and michael gminski helped to promote the event,and gala planning committee members Jeff Jones and Brad Brinegar devoted many hours <strong>of</strong> consultingand fundraising to the event.

UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS<strong>Duke</strong> Faculty and StudentsWhile the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is a stand-aloneinstitution that serves as a gateway to thesurrounding community, the museum thrivesbecause <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>. The campuscommunity also finds inspiration and richresources at the museum.To that end, Marianne Eileen Wardle, themuseum’s Andrew W. Mellon Coordinator<strong>of</strong> Academic Programs, continued to workwith faculty to invite connections betweencourses and research with upcomingexhibitions and the museum’s permanentcollection. This outreach brought 146 classvisits and a total <strong>of</strong> 906 students to StudyStorage, a 45 percent increase over the pastyear. A total <strong>of</strong> 2,180 faculty and studentsvisited storage and galleries.The schedule <strong>of</strong> visiting classes (and 53faculty members) reflects the museum’sinterdisciplinary vision: not just art historybut also African & African AmericanStudies, Asian & Middle Eastern Studies,Chinese Classical Studies, CulturalAnthropology, Divinity, English, French,German, History, Italian, Literature,Medical School, Nicholas School <strong>of</strong> theEnvironment, Philosophy, Pratt School <strong>of</strong>Engineering, Psychology, Religion, Spanish,Theater Studies, <strong>University</strong> Scholars,Women’s Studies and the Writing Program.First-year medical students visited thegalleries as part <strong>of</strong> a required coursefocusing on doctor-patient relationships.First-year engineering students toured thebuilding—including the wood shop—to learnabout facility management.Wardle worked closely with <strong>Duke</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essorsCarla Antonaccio and Sheila Dillon to publisha fully illustrated catalogue on the museum’scollection <strong>of</strong> classical antiquities, The Past isPresent: The Kempner Collection <strong>of</strong> ClassicalAntiquities at the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>.Pr<strong>of</strong>essors and students alike worked withWardle and Molly Boarati, the academicprogram assistant, to design a series <strong>of</strong>rotating installations in the museum’sEducation Gallery, located in the corridorbetween the two classrooms.The museum collaborated with <strong>Duke</strong>’sOffice <strong>of</strong> New Student Programs with aninstallation inspired by the book EatingAnimals by Jonathan Safron, the summerreading assignment. During orientation week,first-year students took part in discussionsabout the summer reading book, attendedtalks presented by the author and enjoyedthe installation during an exclusive party atthe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. Boarati selected worksfrom the permanent collection that reflectedthemes in the book and invited faculty to writeresponses to works <strong>of</strong> art in relation to theirfields <strong>of</strong> study.The <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> continued to trainstudents interested in museum careers.<strong>Museum</strong> Director Kimerly Rorschach taught11 students in the course “<strong>Museum</strong> Theoryand Practice,” and 16 students learned aboutmuseum careers through <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong> Historyinternships for course credit.The Trent A. and Susan L. CarmichaelSummer Internship Award went to AnneDrescher, T’15, who worked in the museum’seducation department. The museum waspleased to award three exceptional <strong>Duke</strong>students grants to serve as interns for thesummer <strong>of</strong> 2011, thanks to a generous grantfrom the Mary <strong>Duke</strong> Biddle Foundation.Molly Superfine, T’13, and Nicole Whang, T’14,worked at the Whitney <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> American<strong>Art</strong>, New York.

CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITYEducation Department<strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> educators found new ways tosupport teachers and students as never before,and to help strengthen the arts in local publicschools through programs, events and activitiesrelated to exhibitions.The museum received an exciting new $75,000<strong>Art</strong> Works grant from the National Endowmentfor the <strong>Art</strong>s to work with public elementaryschool teachers and their students. The NEAgrant allows the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s educationdepartment and Durham public school teachersto create a language arts curriculum forkindergarten, first- and second-graders using artfrom the museum’s collection. The lesson plansand activities will meet the curriculum standardsset out in the Common Core Standards (adoptedby 44 states) and 21st Century Skills (adoptedby 15 states). The curriculum materials will beavailable on a free new website.Alexander Calder drew about 550 K-12schoolchildren to the museum each week, for atotal <strong>of</strong> 5,600 on guided tours for this exhibitionalone. The education department broughtKinetic Works, a dance company in Charlotte, toperform twice at <strong>Duke</strong>’s Reynolds Auditorium.About 1,000 local schoolchildren watched thefree performance, which connected directly toAlexander Calder. All students who saw thedance performance also visited the exhibitionon a guided tour. Kidzu Children’s <strong>Museum</strong>in Chapel Hill held Saturday workshop eventsinspired by Calder. Tech Shop, a do-it-yourselfworkshop “for makers, artists, hobbyists andentrepreneurs,” <strong>of</strong>fered classes on Calderesquemobile-making. The Scrap Exchange held afree open studio event, where instructor SaraMcCreary led the making <strong>of</strong> mobiles.Curator <strong>of</strong> education Juline Chevalier andassociate curator <strong>of</strong> education Jessica Ruhlestrengthened connections with Y.E. SmithElementary School, the only museum school inDurham Public Schools. Last spring, studentshelped create an sculpture inspired by Calderin front <strong>of</strong> their school. <strong>Art</strong>ist Renee Levertymade a wireframe armature <strong>of</strong> a tiger, the schoolmascot. Using materials from the Scrap Exchange,students hung their favorite objects—corks, slideprojector photos, keys—on the tiger.At the museum, the education departmentcontinued to encourage visitors to share theirexperiences with interactive activities in thegalleries and Great Hall. A mobile-making stationin the Great Hall allowed visitors to experimentwith balance and color using different shapes <strong>of</strong>metal, wood and paper. The result was an onlineimage gallery <strong>of</strong> visitors posing with their creations.Website visitors played “curator” in two new onlinegames that complemented Alexander Calder.Visitors enhanced The Deconstructive Impulse withtwo gallery activities. Some visitors shared thoughtsabout what it means to be a feminist today, andmany visitors wrote “truisms” á la Jenny Holtzer,an artist whose work was in the exhibition. Oneexample, submitted by a 25-year-old female visitor:“It’s better to be lonely than to be controlled.”Five free Family Day events on Sunday afternoonsdrew a total <strong>of</strong> 2,500 visitors with live entertainment,hands-on crafts and gallery hunts, all designedto complement exhibitions. The student dancegroup NC <strong>Art</strong>s in Action performed and Acro SportGymnastics gave a gymnastics demonstration forone event; other activities included performancesby local children’s theater group Rags to Richesand building a community mobile. Support forthe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s education programs wasprovided by the Fox Family Foundation, Nordstrom,and SunTrust Foundation. In-kind support wasprovided by The Container Store ® .For the second year, the “Summer Make andTakes” program grew in popularity on Tuesdaysand Thursdays. Visitors <strong>of</strong> all ages made slitheringsnakes inspired by Outsider artists, table-topstabiles and mobiles inspired by Alexander Calder,memory books and “picture pies” inspired by thepermanent collection, and shiny jewelry inspiredby Containing Antiquity.About 200 teachers earned continuing educationcredit by attending five free workshops thatgave them field trip materials and suggestionsfor connecting the museum experience withstate curriculum standards. Chevalier and othermuseum curators also led three “<strong>Art</strong> With theExperts” talks, a series <strong>of</strong> Sunday afternoon talksat the Durham County Library about exhibitionsat the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.Connecting with the Community3328031_Text.indd 3311/28/12 1:37 AM

Planned GivinGPlan your gift to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong><strong>Art</strong> Inspires. Share the Inspiration.With a planned gift to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>, you can ensure the inspiration <strong>of</strong>future generations by making a gift that will provide for the continued collection, preservation, researchand exhibition <strong>of</strong> art <strong>of</strong> the ages.Just as art is created from different mediums, so are planned gifts:• Life income gifts can provide you and/or your loved ones with an income for the duration <strong>of</strong> yourlives or for a specific number <strong>of</strong> years.• Charitable lead trusts can be used to transfer assets to a loved one with a significantly reducedtax liability.• Real estate, tangible property, and securities can be turned into gifts with immediate tax benefits.Bequests, retirement accounts, and other testamentary gift plans can allow you to make a moresubstantial gift than you imagined possible.If you plan an estate or life income gift to benefit the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, you are added to the rolls <strong>of</strong> theHeritage Society at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>, which honors alumni and friends who have included the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong> and/or <strong>Duke</strong> in their estate plans or have made some other type <strong>of</strong> planned gift.For information about the variety <strong>of</strong> options for making a gift the best fits both your personal needs andthe museum’s needs, please contact Kristen Greenaway, Director <strong>of</strong> Development and External Relationsat 919-668-3527 or kristen.greenaway@duke.edu. All inquiries are confidential and without obligation.A Bequest by Dudley Moylan T’43, G’47After graduating from <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong> in 1943, Dudley Moylan (1921-2009) joined the U.S. Navy, andserved as an <strong>of</strong>ficer on a destroyer in the Pacific theater <strong>of</strong> WWII. After surviving a heroic attack duringthe battle <strong>of</strong> Leyte Gulf, he returned to <strong>Duke</strong> to get his Master <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>s in English Literature. His passionfor the Blue Devils and his fond memories <strong>of</strong> classmate Raymond D. <strong>Nasher</strong> prompted him to leave agenerous unrestricted bequest to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. With this fund, the museum was able to expandand enliven marketing and publications activities, primarily online, to reach new audiences and increasecommunity outreach.TOP: Ansel Adams, Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941 (printed 1981). Gelatin silver print, 15 1/2 x 19 1/2 inches (39.4 x 49.5 cm). Collection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Gift <strong>of</strong> the Aubrey Courtney Shives, Jr. (T’66) Trust, 2011.8.16. As part <strong>of</strong> his planned gift to the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, the late Courtney Shives, alongtime friend <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, bequeathed 20 black and white photographs by Ansel Adams, America’s foremost nature photographer, to the museum. Includedare some <strong>of</strong> Adams’ most well-known photographs, such as Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, pictured above. The works evidence his meticulous technique, with its fullrange <strong>of</strong> tonal values and intricate planning, from the composition to the exposure <strong>of</strong> the final print. Several <strong>of</strong> Adams’ photographs from the Shives gift are featured in theupcoming <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> exhibition, Light Sensitive: Photographic Works from North Carolina Collections.52 Planned Giving28031_Text.indd 5211/28/12 1:39 AM
