Crocker Art Museum – August 2013 Tidbits CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS “An Opening of the Field: Jess, Robert Duncan, and Their Circle” Through September 1, 2013 The artist Jess Collins, known simply as Jess, and his partner, the poet Robert Duncan, were one of the most fascinating artistic couples of the 20th century. Soon after they met in 1950, they merged their personal and artistic lives to explore their interest in cultural mythologies, transformative narrative, and the appropriation of images. This is the first exhibition to explore the couple’s artistic production and relationship. Through more than 100 individual and collaborative works of art and personal letters drawn from private and public collections, this exhibition also looks at their influence and unique position as precursors of Postmodernism. This exhibition is supported, in part, by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. “Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami” Through September 29, 2013 Dynamic, innovative, and exquisite – origami, or folding paper, is not only a sophisticated art form, but it inspires innovative concepts in math and design and inventions in engineering, architecture, and technology. The first major exhibition to explore the rich tradition of paper folding both in Japan and Europe, “Folding Paper” features approximately 140 works by more than 50 international artists. This groundbreaking examination of paper as a medium for endless creativity also includes origami-related woodblock prints, photo murals, and videos. “The Epic and the Intimate: French Drawings from the John D. Reilly Collection” Through September 29, 2013 From its founding in 1648, the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture was the center of artistic activity in France. Through 60 drawings by artists such as Simon Vouet, Antoine Watteau, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, and Edgar Degas, this exhibition from the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, traces the formation, triumph, and reform of the Academy, leading to the École des Beaux-Arts as it is today. At the same time, the exhibit showcases the artistic process as guided by the Academy's principles, from the artist's first thoughts through compositional studies, figure drawings, and finished compositions. “Rob Barnard: Pottery as Pure Art” Through October 20, 2013 This exhibition introduces to a wider audience the ceramic art of Rob Barnard, exclusively featuring works collected by Rob and Josseline Wood, who gifted their collection to the Crocker in 2010. In all, thirty-nine objects span 20 years of the artist's career in this, the artist's first exhibition devoted to his production. Barnard embraces the irregular and displeasing, often developing tensions in form that are meant for the viewer to resolve. He prefers the Japanese-style anagama kiln for his wood-firings. Final results encompass subtle lusters, drips of glaze, and flashes of color that draw the eye to the vessel's surface. While such forms may be reductive, they are also nuanced in shape, line, and curve. These are the details that matter to Barnard, who believes pottery is capable of ennobling daily rituals and feeding the senses. STUDENT & COMMUNITY EXHIBITIONS “The Perspective of Color” July 25 through October 13, 2013 Reception: Sunday, September 15, 1 – 3 p.m. Explore the influence of color on the artist and viewer in this multi-faceted exhibition featuring artwork by a local collective of adult artists. Artists’ Collective Natomas is a community organization of non-professional artists creating in the greater-Sacramento area. While their backgrounds are diverse, they are bonded together by a love and appreciation of art, the expression of art through mixed media, and each member’s personal artistic journey. CONCERTS, FILMS, & SPECIAL EVENTS Art Mix/Big in Japan Thursday, August 8, 5 – 9 p.m. Art Mix celebrates origami’s birthplace. Enjoy an eclectic DJ set by Le Twist featuring DJ Sam I Jam and a rare classic film, directed by Mikio Naruse and presented by the Sacramento Japanese Film Festival.

Free for Museum members. Included with general admission for nonmembers. Classical Concert: Andrei Baumann, Piano Sunday, August 11, 3 p.m. The influence of 18th century Parisian art and culture extended beyond French borders, influencing the work of Johann Sebastian Bach and others across the continent. Andrei Baumann will perform solo works representing the four periods of Western Classical music, including compositions by J.S. Bach, Franz Schubert, Frederic Chopin and Charles Ives. $6 Museum members, $10 college students and youth 17 and under, $12 nonmembers.
