Join us as SAM's outstanding curators explore thought-provoking topics within their areas of SAM's permanent collection. One of SAM's most venerable works of Northwest Coast art, a Nuxalk sun mask, will be the subject of Curator of Native American Art Barbara Brotherton's conversation with Jennifer Kramer, Curator of Pacific Northwest Art, Museum of Anthropology, University of British Columbia. Created around 1880, this monumental piece is made up of a circular corona and an inset mask. Joint research by curators at SAM and Vancouver's Museum of Anthropology, in consultation with Nuxalk community members, has revealed a startling secret. Both pieces and other Nuxalk masks are currently on view.Other lectures in this series include:November 14, 2012: My Friend, Georgia O'Keeffe: Barney Ebsworth Reminisces December 12: Victoria Haven: Portable Monuments January 16, 2013: Together Again: Nuxalk Faces of the Sky February 20: New Visions, Old Stories: Reinstalling the Japanese Art Galleries March 20: Venus and Adonis by Paolo Veronese and Worksho April 17: What, Exactly, are the Decorative Arts?
