Cultures in Flux: Art of the Pacific Northwest April 5-July 31, 2011 Raymond and Laura Wielgus Gallery of the Arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas, Focalpoint, third floor From customary objects, such as a shaman's amulet, to those made for trade, such as a cribbage board in the form of a seal, the arts of Native American peoples of the Northwest Coast reveal both persistence and change through time. This small exhibition showcases a sampling of these artistic traditions drawn from the museum's permanent collections as well as loans from the Lilly Library, the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, and a private collection. Cultures in Flux is organized by Teresa Wilkins, a graduate student in the Department of the History of Art and a graduate assistant at the IU Art Museum for the arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas. | |
