Join artist Julianne Swartz (http://madmuseum.org/events/julianne-swartz%E2%80%99s-sine-body-vocalist-ali-dineen)  on Sunday, December 10 at 4 pm, when she’ll be accompanied by vocalist Ali Dineen (http://madmuseum.org/events/julianne-swartz%E2%80%99s-sine-body-vocalist-ali-dineen)  for a 45-minute performance activating Sine Body, Swartz’s installation of sound-generating ceramic and glass vessels in Sonic Arcade: Shaping Space with Sound (http://www.madmuseum.org/sonic-arcade-shaping-space-with-sound) . Each vessel in Sine Body produces a specific sound, which resonates optimally in that particular body. To generate the sounds, Swartz uses an electronic feedback process that reads the air mass in each vessel in order to locate, generate, and amplify pure frequencies.

Our collection of holiday ornaments are now on display in the Museum lobby! In 1977, Second Lady and champion of craft, Joan “Joan of Art” Mondale approached Paul J. Smith, then Director of MAD (formerly known as the Museum of Contemporary Crafts), and asked him to curate a selection of handmade ornaments for the holiday tree in the vice presidential residence. Smith put out an open call, which resulted in a collection of over 150 ornaments by more than forty artists and craftspeople from across the country, many of whom are part of MAD’s permanent collection—among them Marian Clayden, Stanley Lechtzin, Ed Rossbach, Mary Ann Scherr, Katherine Westphal, and Claire Zeisler. A grouping that celebrates creativity, imagination, and play in American craft, the ornaments were displayed in the Museum in 1977 before they went off to Washington, DC, where they decorated the Mondales’ tree later that year and the following. The ornaments now form part of MAD’s Study Collection and are
on display as part of the Museum’s 60th Anniversary.

http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary

MAD is excited to announce the January opening of Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary) , an exhibition of large-scale sculpture, and mixed-media collage and assemblage on wood panels that reimagine safe destinations for the black American traveler during the mid-twentieth century. The body of work was inspired by The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual guidebook for black American road-trippers published by New York mailman Victor Hugo Green from 1936 to 1966, during the Jim Crow era in America. Adams is a New York–based, multidisciplinary artist working in performance, video, sound, textile- and paper-based collage, and multimedia sculpture. His practice is rooted in deconstructivist philosophies such as the fragmentation and manipulation of structure and surface, and the marriage of complex and improbable forms.
