FROM THE FRIENDS BOARDIn my final year as president, it has been a privilegeto be a part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> and witness itsincreasing stature in the local, national and internationalart world. It has also been extremely gratifying to workwith fellow board members and community volunteerswho generously give their time, talents and financesin support <strong>of</strong> the museum. Both groups have beenunwavering in their commitment to, and passion for,the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> as a “beacon <strong>of</strong> art, culture andlearning for the university and the broader community.”As Samuel Longfellow so aptly put it, “Into all our lives,in many simple, familiar, homely ways, God infusesthis element <strong>of</strong> joy from the surprises <strong>of</strong> life, whichunexpectedly brighten our days and fill our eyes withlight.” Without reservation, I can say my four years onthe Friends Board have been one <strong>of</strong> life’s unexpectedsurprises, infused with joy.When I was growing up, my mother,―with canvas inplace, oil palette in hand, and Titian, our family cockerspaniel, at her feet,―shared with me remembrances <strong>of</strong>her college days, studying with African American painterHale Woodruff. Still, I never envisioned myself becomingan advocate for the contemporary art conversation.Thank you, Kim, Trevor and Sarah for opening my eyesto a new world <strong>of</strong> meaning. And, to Kim in particular,I also express my appreciation for an insightfuland steadfast vision <strong>of</strong> broad-based communityinclusiveness in museum programming. Kim effectivelysteers the museum to ever greater heights anduncharted destinations. As Durham’s Mayor Bill Bellso fittingly stated at this year’s Fifth AnniversaryCommunity Celebration, “Great things are happening inDurham ... and the <strong>Nasher</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the great things.”Whether one reads every label or looks around andzeroes in on a specific work <strong>of</strong> art, this year’s exhibitionswere marvelous learning experiences.Also worthy <strong>of</strong> note is the steadily increasing diversity<strong>of</strong> audiences attracted to the museum. Significant tothis growth was the establishment <strong>of</strong> a new CommunityOutreach Task Force under the auspices <strong>of</strong> the FriendsBoard. A majority <strong>of</strong> the recommendations developedby the group have either been implemented or are “inthe works.” I especially thank Douglas Zinn and FriendsBoard member Paula Flood for their co-leadership <strong>of</strong>what proved to be a very effective group.The 2010 Benefit Gala was yet another significantevent <strong>of</strong> the year. The evening marked the inauguralpresentation <strong>of</strong> the Mary D.B.T. Semans Award forDistinguished Service to the <strong>Art</strong>s, with Dr. Lawrence J.Wheeler, Director <strong>of</strong> the North Carolina <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>as the first recipient. Those <strong>of</strong> us in attendance had afantastically fun evening with special lighting effects,pr<strong>of</strong>essional dancers and an installation by renowedfood artist Jennifer Rubell.In closing, I would like to acknowledge and thankoutgoing board members Anne Akwari, Brad Brinegar,Laura Ladd, Bill Shore, Olympia Stone and Carl Webbfor their collegiality and support.We all know that the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> at <strong>Duke</strong><strong>University</strong> is an amazing place. It continues to blaze newtrails in leading-edge exhibitions, contemporary artistrecognition and audience diversity. I am confident theFriends Board will continue its good work under the ableand dedicated leadership <strong>of</strong> Ann Craver.Angela O.

Containing AntiquityOn view from October 21, 2010JAUME PLENSA: Glückauf? andThe Heart <strong>of</strong> TreesContaining Antiquity highlights the great variety <strong>of</strong>vessels–storage jars, perfume bottles, serving bowlsand drinking cups–made and used in the ancient Greekcultural sphere throughout the Mediterranean region,and the decoration and function <strong>of</strong> these containers.The exhibition was designed by undergraduate andgraduate students enrolled in a seminar taught in thespring <strong>of</strong> 2010 by pr<strong>of</strong>essor Carla Antonaccio, in <strong>Duke</strong>’sDepartment <strong>of</strong> Classical Studies. The aim <strong>of</strong> the coursewas to allow students to work directly with antiquities,teaching them how to look at, record and analyzeobjects, how to understand style and manufacture, howto assign a date and trace possible origins and uses forthe objects, and how to present them to the universitycommunity and public. The course also engaged withcurrent debates about the market that brings antiquitiesto institutions like the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, and the currentlegal and ethical issues surrounding their acquisition.Every student conducted independent research onselected objects that informed the choices that wentinto the exhibition. They collaborated on devising theoverarching theme <strong>of</strong> the exhibition, selecting objectsand drafting text panels.Support for the exhibition and catalogue comes from the AndrewW. Mellon Foundation, an anonymous donor, the Teasley FamilyClassical Antiquities Endowment Fund, the Department <strong>of</strong>Classical Studies at <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>, the John O. and Jeanne MilesBlackburn Endowment, and the Mary <strong>Duke</strong> Biddle Foundation.Spring <strong>2011</strong>The <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> presented two installations <strong>of</strong>sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, who livesand works in Barcelona and Paris. Visitors were invitedto walk through and interact with Glückauf?, on viewin the permanent collection gallery. Curtains <strong>of</strong> strungletters spelled out the text <strong>of</strong> the Universal Declaration<strong>of</strong> Human Rights. The document was adopted by theUnited Nations in 1948 as a response to the atrocities<strong>of</strong> World War II. The word glückauf is a good luck wishin German.On the front lawn <strong>of</strong> the museum, The Heart <strong>of</strong> Treesinstallation brought six live trees to the winter landscape.Each tree was accompanied by seated self-portraits <strong>of</strong>the artist, cast in bronze, with arms and legs wrappedaround the trunks. The figures were inscribed withnames <strong>of</strong> composers, including Ludwig van Beethoven,Béla Bartók, and George Gershwin. For Plensa, the bodybecomes a vessel for information, a surface on which torecord words.Both installations were made possible by Paula Crownand Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago.RELATED PROGRAMSContaining Antiquity opening event and gallery talk with <strong>Duke</strong> student co-curators and the late Anne Schroder, curator andacademic program coordinator at the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.RELATED PROGRAMSFirst Thursday talk by Katherine Jentleson, a first-year Ph.D. student in <strong>Duke</strong>’s Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, <strong>Art</strong> History & Visual Studies.Free Family Day event with live entertainment, hands-on projects and gallery hunts.TOP LEFT: <strong>Duke</strong> student Kiki Smith leads a gallery talk with her co-curators,all <strong>Duke</strong> students, and many <strong>of</strong> their parents.

The cruciform hanging <strong>of</strong>Pérez’s three drawings <strong>of</strong> a head and two hands alludedto the image <strong>of</strong> the Crucifixion, while his life-sizedbronze and parchment sculpture <strong>of</strong> a tree transforminginto a skeleton form could be seen to referenceChrist’s death on the cross. Nancy Hanks SeniorCurator Sarah Schroth placed Pérez’s works within thehistorical context <strong>of</strong> paintings and sculptures <strong>of</strong> theCrucifixion from the 12th through the 18th centuriesin the museum’s permanent collection. Works rangedfrom bloody depictions <strong>of</strong> the tortured body <strong>of</strong> Christ toCrucifixes showing Christ with his eyes open, a Christtriumphant over death.

I’m very grateful to the curators for risingabove the considerable challenges [to make it happen],”Rylands said. “It’s a very scholarly show, but also verydispersed and a lot <strong>of</strong> fragile work. One <strong>of</strong> the novelties<strong>of</strong> this show is that it draws attention to the Americancomponent <strong>of</strong> the Vorticist movement, which twoAmerican curators were well positioned to do.”“Vorticism is a very colorful story, yet for severalgenerations it was subjected to damnatio memoriae(condemnation <strong>of</strong> memory),” he said. “A remarkable thingabout Vorticism is how little survives. The show looksbeautiful here; I hope we can make it look this nice inVenice!”Dave Muller’s work explores the relationship betweenhuman experience, memory and music. His large-scalepaintings <strong>of</strong> album spines, two <strong>of</strong> which were part <strong>of</strong>The Record: Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> and Vinyl at the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong>, are not mere representations but portraits<strong>of</strong> his friends and family through their musical tastes.Muller has exhibited work at the Palais de Tokyo inParis, the Los Angeles County <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, theWhitney <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> American <strong>Art</strong>, the Institute<strong>of</strong> Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>, Boston, and Museo de <strong>Art</strong>eContemporáneo de Castilla y León in Spain, as wellas the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.For the Rothschild Lecture, Muller talked about hispassionate investment in music and its effect on hisartistic practice. He played samples <strong>of</strong> music he lovedat key points throughout his life.“I was a chemistry major at UC-Davis. I started workingfor this college radio station,” Muller said. “I ended upmoving into this house that had a big enough living roomthat you could have bands play in it. What I found thatI liked about doing these shows was doing designs forthe flyers. It was almost as exciting, if not more exciting,than doing the actual shows, and that should have toldme something back then.”“I’m dealing with this idea that I’ve got all these records,and I’m putting a lot <strong>of</strong> energy into records, having alot <strong>of</strong> records, moving my records around,” Muller said.“Finally, I got the idea that I could draw the spines. I cancall it a Top 10, I can have people come up with lists andit’s like the Top 10 visualized. The records are drawn astall as the person who chose them.”At the end <strong>of</strong> his talk, Muller “performed” his Top 11favorite records on two turntables. The audience knewthese tracks would not be easily found on iTunes oreven in a nearby record bin. Muller’s special playlistincluded a track called “Wound-Up Opera Playedby Rare Antique Music Boxes (Ford Collection),” theBeatles song “Because,” hunting calls recorded withthe Mongombi Tribe in Africa, and Oscar the Grouch’s “ILove Trash,” from the Sesame Street book and record.After his talk, Muller spun records at Motorco, a musicvenue in Durham.TOP: Dave Muller poses with his work in The Record:Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> and Vinyl.

Vanguards & Visionaries2010 <strong>Nasher</strong> Benefit Gala Honoring Lawrence J. WheelerThe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> hosted its annual benefit galaon November 13, 2010, to honor one <strong>of</strong> the ResearchTriangle region’s greatest advocates for the arts,Lawrence J. Wheeler, director <strong>of</strong> the North Carolina<strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong>. He received the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’sinaugural Mary D.B.T. Semans Award for DistinguishedService to the <strong>Art</strong>s. Over generations, Mary D.B.T.Semans has tirelessly emphasized the importance <strong>of</strong> artas part <strong>of</strong> the essence <strong>of</strong> human experience, and theneed for spaces that provide direct experiences withoriginal works <strong>of</strong> art.Since Lawrence Wheeler became director in 1994,the NCMA has become one <strong>of</strong> the region’s and thenation's most popular and dynamic centers for the visualand performing arts. Blockbuster exhibitions, includingRodin: Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald CantorFoundation (2000) and Monet in Normandy (2006),have attracted hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> visitors tothe NCMA. Under Wheeler‘s leadership, the NCMAexpanded in April 2010 with a new 127,000-squarefootbuilding to house the institution’s outstandingpermanent collection with numerous new acquisitions.More than 300 friends <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>—from<strong>Duke</strong>, the Triangle and beyond—attended the gala tohonor Wheeler. Food artist Jennifer Rubell createdLegacy, an installation <strong>of</strong> nearly 200 pounds <strong>of</strong> goldcovereddark chocolate coins filling three burlapsacks, symbols <strong>of</strong> the tobacco industry.

UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPSIn a new five-year strategic plan, the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>has articulated a vision to sustain one <strong>of</strong> the mostengaged student bodies among university artmuseums, and to increase faculty involvement acrossdisciplines. To that end, the curatorial departmentbroadened the museum’s reach to faculty andstudents this year through events geared to upcomingexhibitions, an expanded website presence, and anambitious schedule <strong>of</strong> rotating installations in theeducation gallery.Marianne Eileen Wardle, the museum’s new AndrewW. Mellon Coordinator <strong>of</strong> Academic Programs,created new resources for <strong>Duke</strong> faculty who wish tovisit the museum with classes. She worked closelywith pr<strong>of</strong>essors to build tours, lesson plans andassignments that complemented their courses.One activity, “Find and Seek,” challenges students tochoose a work <strong>of</strong> art and write a descriptive paragraphabout it before their visit. Students then pair up,exchange descriptions and use them to locate thework <strong>of</strong> art. When they find the correct work, theywrite their own response.“The exercise is excellent for visual analysis,translating the visual to the verbal and visual critique,”Wardle says. “Language students are required topractice vocabulary, grammar and expressing emotionsand preferences.”The museum also made a new push for visual literacy,an increasingly important skill for learning to thinkcritically about images that is an essential component<strong>of</strong> a 21st-century education. The museum seeks t<strong>of</strong>unction as an interdisciplinary nexus and a laboratorywhere students can investigate, explore and test theknowledge they are presented in class.The schedule <strong>of</strong> visiting classes reflects themuseum’s interdisciplinary vision: not just art historybut also African and African American studies,classical studies, documentary studies, internationalcomparative studies, public policy, sociology, andcultural anthropology and more. First-year medicaland nursing students visited the galleries as part<strong>of</strong> a required course focusing on doctor-patientrelationships. First-year engineering students touredthe building to learn about facility management.Faculty engagement with the museum went farbeyond visiting storage and exhibitions with students.<strong>Duke</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essors, the “brain trust” <strong>of</strong> the university,continued to <strong>of</strong>fer important insights into thecollections and help the museum find new waysto study and present art. (Read about more facultyprojects in the report from the Faculty AdvisoryCommittee on page 12 <strong>of</strong> this annual report.)Pr<strong>of</strong>essors and students alike worked with Wardle andMolly Boarati, academic program assistant, to designa series <strong>of</strong> rotating installations in the museum’seducation gallery, located between the museum’stwo classrooms. One example was Machine,Mother, Mannequin: The Good Woman in SovietPropaganda, a glimpse into the Soviet Union throughpropaganda posters from World War I and the famed1917 revolutions through 1967, Leonid Brezhnev’searly years in power. The installation, drawn from<strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong> Libraries and the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’spermanent collection, explored the role <strong>of</strong> women inSoviet propaganda. The exhibition was curated byAngela Linhardt, a Slavic and Eurasian Studies MAcandidate, and Beth Holmgren, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Slavic andEurasian studies.The <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> continued to train studentsinterested in museum careers. <strong>Museum</strong> directorKimerly Rorschach taught 15 students in the course“<strong>Museum</strong> Theory and Practice,” and seven studentslearned about museum careers through <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong>History internships for course credit.The Trent A. and Susan L. Carmichael SummerInternship Award went to Caroline Fox, who worked onthe Containing Antiquity exhibition. Thanks to agenerous grant from the Mary <strong>Duke</strong> Biddle Foundation,the museum was pleased to award three exceptional<strong>Duke</strong> students grants to serve as interns for thesummer <strong>of</strong> 2010. Two worked in major museums inmetropolitan areas; the third worked with the curatorsat the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. Laura Pierce, T’11, workedin the public relations department <strong>of</strong> the Metropolitan<strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> in New York. Christina Martin, T’11,worked in the public relations department at theWhitney <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>of</strong> American <strong>Art</strong> in New York.

CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITY:Education Department<strong>Museum</strong> educators found new ways to extend the<strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s reach into the community this year,with more programs, events and activities related toexhibitions.Curator <strong>of</strong> education Juline Chevalier and associatecurator <strong>of</strong> education Jessica Ruhle continued to build apartnership with Y.E. Smith Elementary School, DurhamPublic Schools’ museum school. They worked closelywith first grade teachers to construct personalizedexperiences at the museum, and visited classrooms topresent lessons combining works <strong>of</strong> art on view at the<strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> and the first grade reading curriculum.The education staff also led two nine-week “FridayAfternoon Clubs” on site at Y.E. Smith, providinghands-on art experiences for about 30 students.Builiding on prior collaborations, the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’seducation department worked with the Durham <strong>Art</strong>sCouncil’s CAPS (Creative <strong>Art</strong>s in the Public and PrivateSchools) program to bring local jazz musician GreggGelb to the museum for a performance to enhance thetour experience in The Jazz L<strong>of</strong>t Project. More than200 fourth- and fifth-grade students toured The JazzL<strong>of</strong>t Project and attended hour-long jazz performances.Chevalier and other museum curators also led four “<strong>Art</strong>With the Experts” talks, a series <strong>of</strong> Sunday afternoontalks at the Durham County Library about exhibitions atthe <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.The Sarah P. <strong>Duke</strong> Gardens and the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>co-hosted the fourth annual Nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong><strong>of</strong> Nature teacher workshop, where nearly 40 localteachers attended two full-day workshops on how tointegrate art and science into their K-4 curriculum.Here at the museum, the education departmentcontinued to build upon in-gallery interactive activitiesthat encouraged visitors to take part in exhibitions.In The Jazz L<strong>of</strong>t Project, visitors were invited to submitpersonal photos from between 1957 and 1965. Asmart phone app provided visitors with a dark, jaggedframe for their own photos, similar to the broken panein W. Eugene Smith’s l<strong>of</strong>t window that framed many <strong>of</strong>his photographs. Visitors in the gallery wrote answerson Post-it notes to such questions as “What’s the mostunusual thing you’ve seen out <strong>of</strong> your window?”Other exhibitions inspired the new “Summer Make andTakes” program for visitors <strong>of</strong> all ages on Tuesdays andThursdays. One session, invited visitors to collaborate,decorating an old wooden chair with flowers, minisculpturesand other materials. The activity wasinspired by Gary Simmons’ sculpture Erasure Chair inBuilding the Contemporary Collection: Five Years <strong>of</strong>Acquisitions.More than 140 teachers earned continuing educationcredit by attending four free workshops that gave themfield trip materials and suggestions for connecting themuseum experience with state curriculum standards.At one workshop, Texas-based artist Dario Robletotalked about his work in The Record. He told theteachers about his first-grade teacher who saw acreative spark in him; he visited her more than a decadelater, he said. “She still had a drawing I gave her on herwall.” He would decide to be an artist many years later.At another teacher workshop, Courtney Reid-Eaton,exhibitions director at <strong>Duke</strong>’s Center for DocumentaryStudies, talked about The Jazz L<strong>of</strong>t Project. Shemade connections between the drama in the life <strong>of</strong>photographer W. Eugene Smith and the drama in hiswork. She shared Smith’s artistic trajectory with theteachers, talking about the significance <strong>of</strong> his publicpr<strong>of</strong>essional work and the intense way he processedinformation and influences he was exposed to in the l<strong>of</strong>t.“He was inspired by the arts, but also by the quotidian,”Reid-Eaton said. “He was a voracious collector—that’swhat makes the tapes so amazing. You can heareverything from Thelonious Monk’s band in rehearsal tostreet sounds to Jim Backus as Mr. Magoo, advertisingGE lightbulbs.”Five free Family Day events continued to be verypopular, drawing more than 2,800 people.

first five, next five: Marilyn m. arthurACQUISITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONMarilyn M. <strong>Art</strong>hur, WC’56, P’79, P’88, has celebratedevery milestone, big and small, during the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong>’s first five years.She applauded the cacophony <strong>of</strong> <strong>Duke</strong>’s marchingband during the grand opening on October 2, 2005,and again a few days later when nearly 2,000 studentsswirled around the Great Hall for the very first party.Since, she has cheered the museum on—with the firstacquisition <strong>of</strong> a sculpture by Petah Coyne, then theblockbuster exhibition El Greco to Velazquez and theopening event for The Record with eight visiting artists.Now, Marilyn <strong>Art</strong>hur is looking forward to the nextfive years.“I’ve always been enthusiastic about the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong>,” she said. “We needed it. It’s been a boon to<strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>; it has brought people to campus whonever would have thought <strong>of</strong> stopping by. We’ve reallyopened an awful lot <strong>of</strong> doors and educated the studentsway beyond what most university art museums do.”Long before the museum opened, Marilyn had been astaunch supporter <strong>of</strong> the arts at <strong>Duke</strong>. She worked withother students to arrange for art to be displayed aroundcampus when she was a <strong>Duke</strong> student in the ’50s. Later,she met museum founder and namesake Raymond D.<strong>Nasher</strong> and helped promote the museum through <strong>Duke</strong>’sdevelopment committee. More recently, she served asvice president <strong>of</strong> the Friends <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>Board and co-chair <strong>of</strong> Vanguards & Visionaries, theannual benefit gala in 2010. She routinely drives overfrom her Pinehurst, N.C., home to attend the <strong>Nasher</strong><strong>Museum</strong>’s artist talks and opening events.p. 36 First Five, Next FiveEvery chance she gets, Marilyn accompanies directorKimerly Rorschach, the curators and other museumfriends on trips to Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New Yorkand Hawaii.

In 2006, Marilyn createdan endowment to provide support for the museum’sexhibitions and K-12 education programming. She hasalso been a lead sponsor for some <strong>of</strong> the museum’smost significant exhibitions, including The Record:Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> and Vinyl, The Vorticists: Rebel<strong>Art</strong>ists in London and New York, 1914-1918,Picasso and the Allure <strong>of</strong> Language, and El Greco toVelazquez. In 2010-<strong>2011</strong>, Marilyn updated her will andestablished a Charitable Remain Unitrust <strong>of</strong> $1 millionin honor <strong>of</strong> the museum. Marilyn’s legacy will benefit themuseum for many years to come.“The <strong>Nasher</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> has had a wonderful outreach thatgoes way beyond what anyone envisioned,” Marilyn said.“It’s a very special place and a wonderful example forother universities.”TOP: Marilyn <strong>Art</strong>hur, WC’56, P’79, P’88, enjoys porridge at a foodinstallation by Jennifer Rubell during <strong>Art</strong> Basel Miami Beach in 2010.She is joined by her niece Karen Heim (middle) and longtime museumfriend Mindy Solie, T’78, P’10.
