| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | THE BRUCE MUSEUM OFFERED A VARIETY ART AND SCIENCE EXHIBITIONS IN 2018-2019 THAT EDUCATED AND ENGAGED OUR DIVERSE, COMMUNITY AUDIENCE. EACH EXHIBITION FEATURED WORLD-CLASS ART, OBJECTS AND ARTIFACTS THAT FOCUSED ON THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF OUR VISITORS AND OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES EACH OF THE EXHIBITIONS FROM 2018-2019. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO ARK JUNE 2, 2018 - SEPTEMBER 2, 2018 THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO ARK, LED BY PHOTOGRAPHER JOEL SARTORE, IS A MULTIYEAR EFFORT TO DOCUMENT EVERY SPECIES LIVING IN WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES, INSPIRE ACTION THROUGH EDUCATION, AND HELP SAVE WILDLIFE BY SUPPORTING ON-THE-GROUND CONSERVATION EFFORTS. WITH INGENUITY AND WIT, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHER JOEL SARTORE HAS CAPTURED PORTRAITS OF MORE THAN 6,000 CREATURES IN 40 COUNTRIES TO DATE. MANY OF THE ANIMALS LIVE IN THE WORLD'S ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS, INSTITUTIONS DEDICATED TO PRESERVING AND CARING FOR SPECIES OF ALL KINDS. THIS EXHIBITION FEATURED MANY ICONIC IMAGES AND ALLOWED VISITORS TO FOLLOW SARTORE AROUND THE WORLD ON THIS EXCITING AND IMPORTANT PROJECT. EXPRESSIONISM IN PRINT: THE EARLY WORKS OF RICHARD HAAS, 1957-64 JUNE 23, 2018 - OCTOBER 21, 2018 RICHARD HAAS'S EXPANSIVE OEUVRE IS PREDOMINANTLY MARKED BY TROMPE L'OEIL MURALS AND DETAILED RENDERINGS OF NEW YORK CITY'S ARCHITECTURE. BUT BEFORE HE BEGAN RECORDING URBAN LANDSCAPES, HAAS SOUGHT INSPIRATION FROM GERMAN EXPRESSIONIST PRINTMAKERS AND ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST PAINTERS. INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBITION WERE PRINTS PRODUCED BETWEEN 1957 AND 1964A SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD THAT, IN MANY WAYS, ENCAPSULATES THE ARTIST'S GRAPHIC EVOLUTION. WHILE ATTENDING THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE, A CITY HEAVILY SETTLED BY GERMAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES, HAAS BEGAN STUDYING GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM. INFORMED BY THE EMOTIVE WOODCUTS OF EMIL NOLDE, MAX BECKMANN, AND ERICH HECKEL, HAAS'S LARGE-SCALE PRINTS INCLUDE ABSTRACT PORTRAITS OF EUROPEAN ARTISTS AND GREAT THINKERS. IN THE SUMMER OF 1960 HAAS STUDIED WITH THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST, JACK TWORKOV, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON. THROUGH TWORKOV'S URGING HAAS APPLIED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA GRADUATE SCHOOL WHERE HE WAS OFFERED A FELLOWSHIP AS MALCOLM MYERS'S TEACHING ASSISTANT IN PRINTMAKING. WHILE STUDYING PAINTING AND PRINTMAKING THERE HE PURSUED A MINOR IN ART HISTORY AND BECAME INTRIGUED WITH THE PRINTS OF EDVARD MUNCH. HAAS'S DEEP INTEREST IN 19TH-CENTURY EUROPEAN HISTORY INFORMS MANY OF THESE EARLY PRINTS. INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBITION WERE WOODCUTS FROM HAAS'S FAMOUS HEADS SERIES, COMPRISING PORTRAITS OF HENRY VIII, FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE, HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, VINCENT VAN GOGH, CLAUDE MONET, AUGUSTE RODIN, PAUL GAUGUIN, AND ALBERT EINSTEIN. WILD BEES: PHOTOGRAPHS BY PAULA SHARP AND ROSS EATMAN APRIL 14, 2018 - NOVEMBER 11, 2018 THE EXHIBITION WILD BEES FEATURED EXQUISITE COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS OF NATIVE BEES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITATS, ALONG WITH AN EXPLORATION OF THEIR VARIED LIFESTYLES. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE PART OF AN ONGOING WILD BEE PROJECT UNDERTAKEN BY PHOTOJOURNALIST AND WRITER PAULA SHARP AND NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER ROSS EATMAN, WHO BEGAN DOCUMENTING WILD BEES INHABITING NEW YORK'S ROCKEFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE AND NEIGHBORING STONE BARNS CENTER FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN 2014. THEIR LENSES CAPTURE IN BEAUTIFUL DETAIL THE TREMENDOUS VARIETY OF SHAPES, COLORS AND SIZES OF THE INSECTS. WILD BEES ARE IMPORTANT POLLINATORS OF WILDFLOWERS, GARDEN FLOWERS AND COMMERCIAL CROPS INCLUDING FRUIT TREES, BERRIES, MELONS AND GARDEN VEGETABLES. ALTHOUGH DOMESTICATED HONEYBEES OFTEN ARE USED TO POLLINATE CULTIVATED PLANTS, WILD BEES ARE ABLE TO POLLINATE MANY FLOWERS AND CROPS THAT HONEY BEES CANNOT. THE EXHIBITION INCLUDED SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF A VARIETY OF PINNED BEE SPECIMENS MAGNIFIED BY A VIDEO MICROSCOPE, AS WELL AS THREE DETAILED, ENLARGED MODELS OF WILD BEES, AN INTERACTIVE BEE IDENTIFICATION GUIDE, AND EXAMPLES OF A FEW WILD BEE HOMES. A CONTINUOUS THREAD: NAVAJO WEAVING TRADITIONS AUGUST 18, 2018 - NOVEMBER 25, 2018 A CONTINUOUS THREAD: NAVAJO WEAVING TRADITIONS TRACED THE HISTORY OF THE NAVAJO WEAVING TRADITION FROM THE EARLIEST MEXICAN-INSPIRED SALTILLO SERAPES, C. 1880, TO MID-20TH CENTURY PICTORIAL RUGS. FEATURING A DOZEN ITEMS FROM THE MUSEUM'S NATIVE AMERICAN ETHNOGRAPHIC COLLECTION SOME OF WHICH WERE PUBLICLY EXHIBITED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE EXHIBITION WAS ON DISPLAY IN THE BANTLE LECTURE GALLERY. NAVAJO RUGS ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE THEIR WARP (THE VERTICAL STRINGS ON A LOOM) IS ONE, LONG CONTINUOUS PIECE OF WOOL THREAD. ONCE THE WARP IS SET ON THE LOOM, THE SIZE OF THE RUG CANNOT BE ALTERED. THIS WEAVING METHOD REQUIRES THE WEAVER TO PLAN THE DESIGN AND PATTERN OF THE RUG TO FIT PRECISELY INTO THE PREDETERMINED LENGTH OF THE RUG. THE ABILITY TO CONCEIVE AND EXECUTE TWO-DIMENSIONAL DESIGNS IN EXTRAORDINARY PATTERNS AND COLORS SET NAVAJO WEAVERS APART FROM THE CREATORS OF OTHER NATIVE RUGS AND BLANKETS. KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TRADITIONAL PROCESS IS AN IMPORTANT CULTURAL TRADITION THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THROUGH INTERGENERATIONAL INSTRUCTION AND MENTORING DESPITE THE OBSTACLES OF DISPLACEMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND ISOLATION EXPERIENCED BY THE NAVAJO NATION. THE ITEMS DISPLAYED ARE FROM THE COLLECTION OF MISS MARGARET CRANFORD (1887 1974), A RESIDENT OF GREENWICH. AT THE AGE OF 21, MISS CRANFORD BEGAN A LIFELONG PURSUIT OF TRAVELING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD, COLLECTING FINE DECORATIVE ART, JEWELRY, AND TEXTILES. RETOOLED: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HECHINGER COLLECTION SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 - DECEMBER 30, 2018 FEATURING MORE THAN 40 IMAGINATIVE PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, WORKS ON PAPER AND PHOTOGRAPHS, THE EXHIBITION BROUGHT LIFE TO THE UNEXPECTED SUBJECT OF TOOLS BY PROFILING 28 VISIONARY ARTISTS FROM THE HECHINGER COLLECTION, INCLUDING RED GROOMS, WALKER EVANS, JIM DINE, AND CLAES OLDENBURG. THE EXHIBITION CONSISTED OF FOUR SECTIONS THAT DYNAMICALLY FRAME THE THEMES OF THIS COLLECTION INTO ACCESSIBLE CATEGORIES: OBJECTS OF BEAUTY; MATERIAL ILLUSIONS; INSTRUMENTS OF SATIRE; AND TOOLS: AN EXTENSION OF SELF. SOME OF THE ARTISTS REPRESENT TOOLS WITH REVERENCE TO ACCENTUATE THEIR PURITY OF DESIGN. OTHERS TRANSFORM AND DISTORT TOOLS TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR TRAGIC OBSOLESCENCE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL AGE. BUT ALL OF THE WORKS REMIND US THAT TOOLS EMBODY THE CAN-DO SPIRIT THAT DEFINES AMERICA AND THE QUEST TO IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. RETOOLED: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HECHINGER COLLECTION WAS ORGANIZED BY INTERNATIONAL ARTS & ARTISTS, WASHINGTON, DC. GIFT OF JOHN AND JUNE HECHINGER. DOWNSIZED: SMALL-SCALE SCULPTURE BY CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS NOVEMBER 3, 2018 - JANUARY 27, 2019 ENTICING VIEWERS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, THIS EXHIBITION OF MINIATURES, MODELS AND DIORAMAS EXPLORED INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ARCHITECTURE IN A RANGE OF SCALES. SOME WORKS CONTEMPLATED THE STRUCTURE AND ITS PLACE IN HISTORY AS A MONUMENT TO ARCHITECTURAL CREATIVITY, OTHERS PAID HOMAGE TO THE HISTORY OF AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT, YET OTHERS DEPICTED FANCIFUL, SURREAL PLACES THAT COULD ONLY EXIST IN MINIATURE. A MINIATURES SHOW HAS BEEN A BIENNIAL BRUCE MUSEUM TRADITION FOR OVER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS. PRESSED FOR TIME: BOTANICAL COLLECTING AS GENTEEL PASTIME OR SCIENTIFIC PURSUIT? DECEMBER 1, 2018 - MARCH 3, 2019 PRESENTED IN THE BANTLE LECTURE GALLERY, THE EXHIBITION PRESSED FOR TIME: BOTANICAL COLLECTING AS GENTEEL PASTIME OR SCIENTIFIC PURSUIT? EXPLORED THE HOBBY AND PROFESSION OF PLANT COLLECTING AROUND THE TURN OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. STARTING IN THE 1820S, BOTANICAL COLLECTING BECAME A HUGELY POPULAR OUTDOOR ACTIVITY FOR BOTH AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS. PLANT COLLECTING WAS AN ACCEPTABLE ACTIVITY FOR WOMEN, CHILDREN, AND GENTLEMEN ALIKE. EXAMPLES OF SPECIMENS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT COLLECTORS HELPED TO ILLUSTRATE THE DIVERSE PERSONALITIES WHO COLLECTED AND PRESERVED THE LOCAL FLORA. SOME COLLECTED FOR PURELY SCIENTIFIC REASONS; OTHERS TO ENJOY LIKE-MINDED COMPANY AND RELAXING WALKS IN NATURE. TODAY, THESE STRIKING SPECIMENS ARE OFTEN ADMIRED FOR THEIR AESTHETICS. WHILE FRAMED ANTIQUE HERBARIUM SHEETS ARE NOW POPULAR HOME DECOR, THIS TREND DISASSOCIATES THEM FROM SCIENTIFIC USE. THE DAWN OF MODERN MEDICINE: SELECTIONS FROM THE MEDICAL ARTIFACT COLLECTION OF M. DONALD BLAUFOX, MD, PHD NOVEMBER 24, 2018 - APRIL 7, 2019 |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | THE 19TH CENTURY WITNESSED A REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION OF THE FIELD OF MEDICAL PRACTICE. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CENTURY, MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS WERE OFTEN BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED, BUT COULD NOT BE STERILIZED. ANESTHESIA DID NOT EXIST AND POST-OPERATIVE INFECTION KILLED MANY PATIENTS. AS THE ERA PROGRESSED, GERM THEORY BECAME ACCEPTED AND ASEPTIC TOOLS REPLACED AESTHETICALLY PLEASING INSTRUMENTS MADE OF WOOD, IVORY, AND EBONY. ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY BROUGHT THE WORLD NEW WAYS TO DIAGNOSE ILLNESS SUCH AS THE STETHOSCOPE, X-RAYS, AND SPHYGMOMANOMETER (FOR BLOOD PRESSURE). MANY OF THESE INNOVATIVE INSTRUMENTS ARE DIRECT PRECURSORS OF THOSE USED BY PRESENT-DAY DOCTORS, OFTEN WITH REMARKABLY LITTLE MODIFICATION. THIS EXHIBITION SHOWCASED APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED ARTIFACTS, RANGING FROM SURGICAL TOOLS TO QUACK PATENT MEDICINES TO EARLY X-RAY TUBES, TELLING THE STORY OF HOW VARIOUS BRANCHES OF DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC MEDICINE EVOLVED. MASTERPIECES FROM THE MUSEUM OF CARTOON ART JANUARY 26, 2019 - APRIL 20, 2019 MASTERPIECES FROM THE MUSEUM OF CARTOON ART SHOWCASED MORE THAN 100 ORIGINAL WORKS CELEBRATING THE HISTORY OF THIS UNIQUE ART FORM IN AMERICA. AMONG THE MANY ITEMS DISPLAYED WERE AN EARLY EDITORIAL CARTOON BY THOMAS NAST, A SPECTACULAR PRINCE VALIANT SUNDAY PAGE BY HAL FOSTER, AND A WITTY NEW YORKER GAG BY PETER ARNO, AS WELL AS CLASSIC PEANUTS, DOONESBURY, AND CALVIN AND HOBBES COMIC STRIPS. TREASURES FROM THIS RICH AND VARIED REPOSITORY REPRESENTED ALL OF THE CARTOON GENRES, INCLUDING COMIC STRIPS, NEWSPAPER PANELS, COMIC BOOKS, EDITORIAL CARTOONS, MAGAZINE CARTOONS, CARICATURE, ILLUSTRATION AND ANIMATION. THE ARTWORK WAS ON LOAN FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY BILLY IRELAND CARTOON LIBRARY & MUSEUM. THE FIRST INSTITUTION DEDICATED TO THE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND EXHIBITION OF CARTOON ART, THE MUSEUM OF CARTOON ART WAS OPENED IN GREENWICH IN AUGUST 1974. FOUNDED BY CARTOONIST AND LONGTIME GREENWICH RESIDENT MORT WALKER, IT MOVED TO PORT CHESTER/RYE BROOK, NY, IN 1977, REOPENED IN BOCA RATON, FL, IN 1996, AND DONATED ITS COLLECTION TO THE BILLY IRELAND CARTOON LIBRARY & MUSEUM IN 2008. YOUR PLACE SQUARED: COMMUNITY ART PROJECT MARCH 9, 2019 - JUNE 2, 2019 THE BRUCE MUSEUM PRESENTED A NEW COMMUNITY PROJECT OF SMALL ARTWORKS CREATED ENTIRELY BY THE PUBLIC FOR THE PUBLIC. YOUR PLACE SQUARED OPENED IN THE MUSEUM'S BANTLE LECTURE GALLERY ON MARCH 9, 2019 WITH A DAZZLING ASSEMBLAGE OF MORE THAN 500 ARTWORKS CREATED BY ARTISTS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. BASED ON THE POPULAR 2012 BRUCE MUSEUM EXHIBITION OF SELF-PORTRAITS, YOUR FACE SQUARED, THE BRUCE MUSEUM ASKED PARTICIPANTS TO TURN TO THE LANDSCAPE FOR CREATIVE INSPIRATION. AND DID THEY EVER! THE SUBJECTS OF YOUR PLACE SQUARED WERE FAVORITE LANDSCAPES, HOMES, A ROOM, OR ANY SPACE THAT FELT TREASURED. THE ARTWORKS WERE CREATED IN MANY MEDIA, INCLUDING WRITING, DRAWING, PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY AND COLLAGE. EACH ENTRY WAS ORIGINAL AND ANONYMOUS, 6 INCHES BY 6 INCHES IN SIZE AND NO THICKER THAN 3 INCHES. BURIED TREASURES OF THE SILK ROAD FEBRUARY 9, 2019 - JUNE 9, 2019 BURIED TREASURES OF THE SILK ROAD SHOWCASED THE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF CHINESE TOMB SCULPTURE IN THE FRED AND JANE BROOKS COLLECTION OF THE BRUCE MUSEUM. FEATURING DOZENS OF RARE AND DELICATE TERRA COTTA FIGURINES, PAINTED AND GLAZED CERAMICS, AND OTHER ANTIQUITIES, BURIED TREASURES OF THE SILK ROAD WAS ON VIEW IN THE MUSEUM'S ARCADE GALLERY. BURIED TREASURES CELEBRATED THE ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF ANONYMOUS CHINESE ARTISTS SUPPORTED BY THE RICHES EARNED ON THE SILK ROAD. THE EXHIBITION WILL ALSO FEATURED ART OBJECTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION EXCHANGED ON THE SILK ROAD. ICREATE 2019 JUNE 8, 2019 - JULY 28, 2019 THE BRUCE MUSEUM SPOTLIGHTED THE CREATIVE ENERGY AND VITALITY OF FINE ART CREATED BY REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE 10TH ANNUAL ICREATE EXHIBITION. THE SHOW FEATURED 53 JURY-SELECTED ARTWORKS, AND CENTERED ON AN ARRAY OF WORKS INFUSED WITH THE CREATIVE SPIRIT AND IMPACTFUL VOICES OF BUDDING YOUNG ARTISTS. ICREATE SERVES AS AN OUTLET FOR THESE EMERGING ARTISTS, AMPLIFYING THE SCOPE OF THEIR PIECES' INFLUENCE AND PROVIDING THE COMMUNITY A GLIMPSE INTO LOCAL ARTISTIC POTENTIAL. THE WORKS ARE OF DIVERSE MEDIUMS AND EXPLORE DIFFERENT THEMES RANGING FROM CRITIQUES OF TRADITIONAL SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS, TO PLAYFUL PORTRAITS, TO STATEMENTS REGARDING ANIMAL EXTINCTION. THE EXHIBITION WAS ORGANIZED BY NINE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO COMPOSE THE BRUCE MUSEUM'S YOUTH@BRUCE COMMITTEE: ISABELLE HOLE, DARIEN HIGH SCHOOL; MADALYNN STEWART, GREENWICH HIGH SCHOOL; REED PUTNAM, HORACE GREELEY HIGH SCHOOL; ANN PAKHAYEV, NEW CANAAN HIGH SCHOOL; ZOE SWISS AND DANI CRONIN, BYRAM HILLS HIGH SCHOOL; MANYA KULA AND SARA FRANKENTHALER, SCARSDALE HIGH SCHOOL; ALEXANDRA KIRK, RYE HIGH SCHOOL. SHARKS! APRIL 20, 2019 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 THERE ARE FEW CREATURES WHICH INSPIRE SO MUCH FASCINATION AND FEAR AS SHARKS. HOWEVER, SHARKS ARE FAR FROM THE MINDLESS KILLING MACHINES, AS THEY ARE SO COMMONLY PORTRAYED. SOME LIVE PEACEFUL LIVES SKIMMING PLANKTON OUT OF THE WATER WITH SPECIALIZED GILL RAKERS. OTHER SHARKS HAVE ROBUST SOCIAL LIVES AND WILL REMEMBER THEIR FAVORED COMPANIONS YEAR AFTER YEAR. A FEW TURN THE PHRASE "COLD-BLOODED KILLER" ON ITS HEAD EVEN MORE THOROUGHLY AND LIVE WITH WARM BLOOD PUMPING THROUGH THEIR VEINS. THIS EXHIBITION FEATURES LIVE SHARKS DEVELOPING IN EGGS, LIFE-SIZED MODELS OF SHARKS, AND TEETH FROM ALMOST 20 DIFFERENT SPECIES. THE SHOW ALSO EXAMINES HOW THE SEAS ARE CHANGING. PLASTIC AND OTHER DEBRIS POLLUTE THE WATER, AND SHARKS ARE HARVESTED BY THE MILLIONS TO FEED A SEEMINGLY INSATIABLE DEMAND FOR SHARK FIN SOUP AND OTHER PRODUCTS. TO LOOK AT A SHARK IS TO SEE OVER 400 MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTIONARY SUCCESS. WHETHER THEY ARE DISGUISING THEMSELVES ON THE REEF FLOOR OR SPEEDING AT 45 MPH AFTER A SCHOOL OF FISH, SHARKS ARE PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO THEIR LIFESTYLE AND ENVIRONMENT. SUMMER WITH THE AVERYS [MILTON | SALLY | MARCH] MAY 11, 2019 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 FEATURING LANDSCAPES, SEASCAPES, BEACH SCENES, AND FIGURAL COMPOSITIONSAS WELL AS RARELY SEEN TRAVEL SKETCHBOOKSTHE EXHIBITION TAKES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE SUPERB WORK PRODUCED BY THE AVERY FAMILY. ALONG WITH CANONICAL PAINTINGS BY MILTON AVERY, THE SHOW OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THE REMARKABLE ART CREATED BY AVERY'S WIFE SALLY AND THEIR DAUGHTER MARCH. AS IT WAS FOR MANY ARTISTS BEFORE AND SINCE, SUMMERTIME WAS A MOMENT OF HEIGHTENED CREATIVITY FOR THE AVERYS. ESCAPING FROM THEIR HECTIC LIVES IN NEW YORK, THE THREE ARTISTS WERE INSPIRED BY THESE BUCOLIC AND SOMETIMES UNFAMILIAR SETTINGS. THE ART THEY PRODUCED INCLUDING OIL PAINTINGS, WATERCOLORS, DRAWINGS AND PRINTS WAS FILLED WITH THE SPLENDOR OF NATURAL PHENOMENA AND THE SOCIABILITY OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND ACQUAINTANCES; THE WORK RANGES FROM THE REPRESENTATIONAL TO THE NEARLY ABSTRACT. FROM BUTTERFLIES TO BATTLESHIPS: SELECTIONS FROM THE BRUCE MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION JUNE 22, 2019 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 BEGINNING WITH THE FIRST FORAYS INTO PHOTOGRAPHIC PRACTICE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, WITH LOUIS DAGUERRE AND NICPHORE NIPCE IN FRANCE AND WILLIAM HENRY FOX TALBOT IN ENGLAND, PHOTOGRAPHERS, THE PUBLIC, AND CRITICS ALIKE HAVE ARGUED AS TO THE RELATIVE MERIT OF THE MEDIUM IS IT A SCIENTIFIC OR ARTISTIC PROCESS? A METHOD FOR FORMAL OR CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION? IS A PHOTOGRAPH FACT OR FICTION? FROM BUTTERFLIES TO BATTLESHIPS DRAWS FROM THE BRUCE MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION TO PRESENT A SELECTION OF WORK BY FOUR SINGULAR AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHERS. THE EXHIBITION WILL SHOWCASE THE TREMENDOUS DIVERSITY OF DIRECTIONS TAKEN IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, WHETHER EMPLOYING THE CAMERA IN A DOCUMENTARY MODE TO RECORD DETAILS OF INSECT DEVELOPMENT OR TO CHRONICLE SWEEPING HISTORICAL EVENTS, OR EXPERIMENTING WITH THE TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE ABSTRACT OR COMPOSITE IMAGES. |

IN THE EVENT A CONFLICT IS UNAVOIDABLE, THE TRUSTEE SHALL AT ALL TIMES ACT IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH HIS OR HER FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO THE MUSEUM AND SHALL EXERCISE PARTICULAR CARE THAT NO DETRIMENT OR APPEARANCE OF DETRIMENT TO THE MUSEUM RESULTS FROM THAT CONFLICT. A TRUSTEE IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN THE TRUSTEE, OR ANY MEMBER OF HIS OR HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY: (A) HAS A FINANCIAL, PERSONAL, OR PROFESSIONAL INTEREST WHICH IMPAIRS OR MIGHT APPEAR TO IMPAIR THE TRUSTEE'S INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT IN THE DISCHARGE OF HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE MUSEUM. (B) COULD RECEIVE A MATERIAL FINANCIAL, PERSONAL, OR PROFESSIONAL BENEFIT FROM KNOWLEDGE OF CONFIDENTIAL MUSEUM INFORMATION.

A TRUSTEE SHOULD NOT VOTE ON, APPROVE, OR RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE MUSEUM AND THAT TRUSTEE OR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER, AND SHOULD DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT PRIOR TO A VOTE OR OTHER ACTION.
