Aloha Members, Every day I am reminded how the Honolulu Museum of Art is connected to the rest of the world.

On a warm October morning, members of the Tlingit people from the village of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, arrived for a ceremony marking the repatriation of a totem pole that has been in the museum collection since 1981. The cere-mony ensured that the 19th-century object, which was taken illegally from Prince of Wales Island years ago, could be returned safely to Alaska. During the ceremony, there was a palpable sense that we shared much with our guests.

Tlingit master carver Jonathan Rowan, Klawock tribal administrator Lawrence Armour, and Klawock Cooperative Association council member Eva Rowan presented the museum with a surprise gift—a large cedar box that Jonthan made and painted with Tlingit symbols. The museum now has a special, positive connection to a village of 800 people in Alaska where ancient traditions and modern life

intersect. (For more on this event, visit our blog at honolulumuseum.org/blog.)

The current exhibition Harajuku: Tokyo Street Fashion also links us to contemporary culture—this time in the world’s largest city. While the feeling of this exploration of the global influence of Japanese street looks is a strange mix of cute and creepy, what emerges is the striking ability of young Japanese to combine cultural influences from around the world. The mixing of aesthetics—ranging from 18th-century French fashion to Alice in Wonderland to Hello Kitty—creates a new sensibility. The exhibition shows how fun, interconnected, and complex the world can be. (For information on Harajuku programming, see pages 13 and 26.). Sincerely,

ST E P H A N F. F. J O ST Director

February 3–July 10, 2016Spalding HouseWe produce more than 300 million tons of plastic a year—and in the U.S. alone, 33.6 million tons of it is discarded. Made from chemical compounds called polymers, plastic has shaped and defined humanity, for good and bad. Invented more than 100 years ago, the use of this lightweight, inexpensive, and durable material exploded during World War II, and today it literally covers the globe. Plastic’s durability also means that when we throw it away, it can persist in landfills and in our oceans for centuries. Plastic Fantastic? looks at the scientific advancements and uses we owe to plastic as well as its effect on global culture and the environment through art.

Works from the museum collection by such artists and designers as Takashi Murakami and Charles and Ray

Eames illustrate how engineering and technology made plastic an artful medium, replacing wood and ceramics. Meanwhile, work by four contemporary artists address issues that arise from the production and use of plastic. Collages by Los Angeles–based

artist Dianna Cohen speak to a throwaway culture born out of the ubiquity and proliferation of plas-

tics. Sculptural installations by New York–based artists Aurora Robson and Maika‘i Tubbs make references to a new plastic-driven world formed and created with the man-made material. The textile work of German artist Swaantje Guntzel reveals the global reach of plastic pollu-tion through visual mapping. And a photography series by Seattle-based Chris Jordan illustrates the sober reality of what plastic pollution ultimately does to living creatures.

Plastic Fantastic? includes an interactive space that invites viewers to consider plastic and use it to make art—visitors can construct assemblages of plastic debris fragments, which will be used to create a large public installation to be unveiled in September 2016.

Deborah Nehmad: WASTED January 29–May 8, 2016At first encounter, the large work in Honolulu artist Deborah Nehmad’s installation WASTED appear to be abstract triptych tapestries. Upon closer exami-nation, however, the patterns of holes and stitches convey a powerful, poignant symbolism, functioning as catalogues of tragedy.

Wasted gradually reveals that nothing has changed in terms of gun violence in the United States over the past decade. The burned holes in wasted and wasted (ii) represent the number of children and adults killed by guns in 2003 (left panel), 2004 (center panel) and 2005 (right panel). wasted (iii) records the annual average of gun fatalities from 2009 to 2013.

The stitched red crosses represent homicides, the black x’s suicides and the burned holes left bare are accidents or of unknown intent. Casualties by police intervention are stitched over in red and black.

Using woodblocks that were burned during the process of creating the wasted pieces, Nehmad inked and rubbed the surface of the blocks to develop the series of printed works titled black and blue. The constel-lation of blue dots represents victims caught in the crosshairs of gun violence over the last 10 years.

While all artists want their work to be discussed, Nehmad has a greater mission—the possibility that viewers will talk about the issues involved.

Beyond the Archive: Paintings by Reem Bassous December 3, 2015–March 27, 2016

Hawai‘i-based artist Reem Bassous’s new work presents her interrogation of a post-Lebanese Civil War exis-tence, where cultural erasure and assertions oscillate under prolonged political instability. As a survivor of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), Bassous unhinges the memories from her youth and explores the contemporary implications of historic unrest by situ-ating her personal experience in a national trajectory.

Instead of recounting the past in archival detail, Bassous has re-conceptualized the human figure as the personification of her generation and as her home city of Beirut, in an effort to describe the shared trauma of a locale and its inhabitants. Bassous’ ghostly figures dissolve into the very material of which they are made, just as Beirut bears the scars of conflict, both ancient and recent, having been built and rebuilt over time—a history that informs the artist’s painting process. Bassous renders the ways in which political crisis is internalized through the use of thick layers of acrylic that blur the distinction between interior and exterior settings; patches of sky and architectural motifs disrupt otherwise domestic environments.

This new series echoes the disillusionment caused by recurrent upheaval, and it underscores the artist’s desire to interpret history as a way of stabilizing the present. In Beyond the Archive, Bassous confronts the impact of protracted sectarian strife upon the identity of person and place by shifting focus away from an isolated moment in the crisis toward the effects of long-term social conflict endured over many years.

American Array Through January 15, 2017

In this selection of postwar and contemporary American art from the museum’s collection are many works familiar to regular museum visitors along with recent acquisitions and works that have not been on view in some time. A major work by Tom Wesselmann, Bedroom Painting No. 42, is on loan for a year from a private collector.

Artists in the exhibition include Richard Anuszkiewicz, Robert Arneson, Lee Bontecou, Robert Colescott, Joseph Cornell, Jim Dine, Sam Francis, Leon Golub, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ed and Nancy Reddin Kienholz, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Mangold, Kerry James Marshall, John McCracken, Robert Motherwell, Alice Neel, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Oursler, Robert Rauschenberg, George Segal, David Smith, Toshiko Takaezu, Peter Voulkos, and Christopher Wilmarth. Works on paper will be rotated with other works periodically.

Identify Yourself Through April 24, 2016

“Identify Yourself” addresses who we are through textiles that chronicle our human condition over several centuries and around the world. Included in the exhibition are textiles featuring the powerful Queen Semiramis of Babylon on a 15th-century Flemish tapestry, a lover from a scene depicted in the Chinese opera The Romance of the Western Chamber, and an ancient Peruvian Paracas warrior from a thousand years ago. Identify Yourself is a textile reflec-tion of the world before selfies defined who we are.

Tough Love: Expressions of Confucian Morality in Japanese Woodblock Prints December 3, 2015–January 31, 2016

The Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety (Chinese: Ershisi Xiao; Japanese: Nijūshikō), a classic text on Confucian morality written in China during the Yuan dynasty (1260–1368), describes extreme examples of filial piety: respectful behavior towards those in positions of authority, particularly one’s own parents. The book was popular throughout Eastern Asia, and in Japan during the Edo period (1615–1868), it was frequently published as a primer to instill in children an appreciation of social hierarchy.

Many works of early modern Japanese art, literature, and theater likewise express the importance of filial piety. However, because Kabuki theater audiences frequently demanded violent, bombastic stories, Kabuki

scripts often focused on a young samurai seeking revenge for the murder of his parents. Japanese woodblock prints were often produced to illustrate these performances and glorified these tales of honorable vigilantes.

This rotation presents a series of prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861) that portray classic examples of filial piety alongside Kabuki prints illustrated by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) and inscribed by novelist Ryūkatei Tanekazu (1807–1858) that express those same values in more dramatic ways.

February 11–August 21, 2016

How does a city develop a distinct visual identity? This question became a major theme in Japanese art during the Edo period (1615–1868). Woodblock print designers helped promote a nascent domestic travel industry by publishing images of “famous places” (meisho) throughout the country. These scenes were often located in or around urban centers, such as the capital of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), becoming immedi-ately recognizable symbols of those cities.

In the late 19th century, with the assistance of his adopted son Hiroshige II (1826–1869), Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) revolutionized the genre of land-scape art when he published One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Edo meisho hyakkei, 1856–1859). Actually consisting of 119 images, the ambitious woodblock print series not only highlights well-known vistas around the capital, it reflects the city’s evolution over roughly 250 years.

Hiroshige’s City: From Edo to Tokyo presents works from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo alongside works that inspired the artist, particularly the multi-volume text Illustrations of Famous Places in Edo (Edo meisho zue, 1834–1836), written over three generations by the family of Saitō Chōshū (1737–1799) and illus-trated by Hasegawa Settan (d. 1843). This exhibition highlights three aspects of the capital’s development: its natural state, the ways in which residents culti-vated and modeled the environment, and the rise of commercial industry.

The exhibition concludes with works by two contem-porary Japanese artists—lithographer Motoda Hisaharu (b. 1973) and video artist Yoshimura Ayako—who imagine the dangers that urban development may ulti-mately pose. In the 21st century, we are witnessing the continual growth of Tokyo and other cities throughout the world. What meaning does Hiroshige’s print series hold for us in this contemporary context?

MuseuM News 23

A F T E R A F O U R- M O N T H S E A R C H , the museum found someone with the chops to fill former chef Mike Nevin’s shoes. In October, Jacob Silver took the helm of the museum’s food and beverage operations, which comprises the Honolulu Museum of Art Café and Coffee Bar, Spalding House Café, Doris Duke Theatre concession, and special event catering. Silver will work closely with Honolulu Museum of Art Café co-managers Kyle Little and Jackie Walden, and Spalding House Café chef-manager Susan Lai-Hipp.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Silver’s impressive resume includes stints at the opulent Alain Ducasse New York and Le Louis XV in Monaco, as well as landmark Manhattan eatery The ‘21’ Club. He has also done stages in France at Michelin-starred restaurants Les Prés d’Eugénie and Hostellerie de Levernois.

Most recently he was executive chef and banquet chef at the Hawai‘i Convention Center, where he learned to cook for thousands and beefed up his management skills.

Silver cooked an “audition” lunch for deputy director Allison Wong and tasters she handpicked (including museum trustee Alan Tomonari, who as the former head of Neiman Marcus Honolulu knows a thing or two about restaurants). The chef showed a knack for using (mostly) ingredients already in the café kitchen in fresh, yet simple ways. Dishes included a broccoli soup with parsley cream and dollhouse-size garlic croutons, and a wonderfully crisp on the outside, moist on the inside pan-seared salmon with tomato confit and lemon-dill beurre blanc.

Now in the process of learning and evaluating the museum’s food opera-tions, Silver plans to unveil a new Honolulu Museum of Art Café menu in early 2016. Silver sees a direct correlation between what he does and what his new place of employment does. “The power of food is its ability to make people feel happy, satisfied, and entertained,” says Silver. “It’s an artistic craft in that it touches people—that’s what art is for me. I’m hoping to enhance the museum visit by bringing a level of dining experience that matches what people spend the day doing here—opening their eyes to things.”

New Executive Chef, Food & Beverage Director:

Jacob Silver“The power of food is its ability to make people feel happy, satisfied, and entertained...”

New at the plastic-free Coffee Bar

The Honolulu Museum of Art Coffee Bar now makes its own syrups that it uses to flavor coffees and make Italian sodas. Take your pick of lavender, vanilla, hibiscus and mixed berry.

Other new items include freshly made lemonade and cold-brew coffee. Coffee Bar co-manager and baker Kyle Little continues to make his popular chocolate chip cookies while he also introduces new sweet and savory light bites daily. As a supporter of the earth, we are proud to announce that the Coffee Bar is now a plastic-free zone.

IN AUGUST, the Honolulu Museum of Art’s Collections Committee unanimously voted to give 24 pieces of dinnerware and glassware to ‘Iolani Palace, and the museum transferred the works to the Palace on Nov. 12.

“Iolani Palace is extremely grateful to the Honolulu Museum of Art for this very generous and important gift of original Palace pieces,” says de Alba Chu. “We look forward to placing them on public display in the Palace’s State Dining Room and the China Closet. In addi-tion, we hope that this action by the Honolulu Museum of Art will encourage others to donate their original Palace artifacts as well so that they may be enjoyed and admired by everyone.”

The eclectic mix of dinnerware and glassware, originally commissioned by King Kalākaua from 1888 to 1891 for use at ‘Iolani Palace, includes Pillivuyt porcelain dishes made in France and wheel engraved Bohemian crystal glassware. There are also a Royal Guard belt buckle and a fork.

Following the 1893 U.S. overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, items from the Palace and the National Collection, which were housed at Iolani Palace and Ali‘iolani Hale, were put to auction, entering into private and public collections around the world. The museum’s Iolani Palace pieces came as gifts from private collectors over the course of eight decades. Some items were donated as early as 1927 when the museum was first established, and others as recently as 2006.Curator Theresa Papanikolas

selected for prestigious program

In October, Theresa Papanikolas, curator of European and American art since 2008, found out she was selected to attend the Center for Curatorial Leadership’s highly competitive program that gives curators the management skills they need to become “visionary leaders of art museums.”

Taking place from January to May, the program comprises a two-week intensive program in New York City that includes sessions with Columbia Business School faculty and a five-day residency with a museum director.

As the mastermind behind two of the museum’s most popular exhibitions over the past two years—Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams: The Hawai‘i Pictures and Art Deco Hawai‘i, Papanikolas has shown off her curatorial muscle. She has also led the museum’s push to find equilibrium between art preservation and increasing access through programs such as ARTafterDARK.

“With museums rapidly evolving, it is good for cura-tors to acquire strategic skills that go beyond their art-historical expertise—whether or not they aspire to be museum directors,” says Papanikolas about why she applied for the program. “As the museum responds to global economic shifts towards Asia, it’s increas-ingly necessary for me to plan innovative exhibitions and build meaningful collections that operate at the intersections between Europe, the Americas, and Asia. I am honored to have the opportunity to partici-pate in the CCL program at this crucial time, because it will help me to gather the necessary tools to lead this trend effectively.

Art School is shored upFrom April to September, the Art School underwent some surgery, when RCM Construction repaired 20 lintels— that exterior bar of concrete that tops each window. The 107-year-old structure, built in 1908 as the original McKinley High School, got its partial—and crucial—infra-structure lift thanks to a generous grant from McInerny Foundation.

The project wasn’t as simple as removing and replacing the lintels, which were cracking as a result of the rebar inside the concrete expanding. Because the lintels are load bearing, RCM Construction had to find a way to take the building’s weight off the walls, to avoid further damage to the structure. The solution: Install massive floor-to-ceiling shores throughout the interior, including some of the classrooms.

Now the 20 lintels look as smooth as new, helping to keep what the Historic Hawai‘i Foundation calls a “splendid example of turn-of-the-century eclecti-cism” in tip-top shape.

The Honolulu Museum of Art School opened in 1990, and now serves more than 7,000 children and adults each year through classes, workshops, and outreach programs.

KAMA‘AINA CHRISTMAS AT 30: Meet chair Lori Fairbanks Feldman

THIS YEAR, 2015, MARKS THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF KAMA‘AINA CHRISTMAS—WHAT DOES THIS MILESTONE MEAN TO YOU?

Above all, tradition. My mom, Sharon Fairbanks, chaired the second Kama‘aina Christmas in 1986, which was the first one to take place at the museum. Back then, it was a different event—small and Hawaiian. I wore a holoku and haku lei! Since then the event has evolved into a more formal affair, but it hasn’t lost its appeal. There’s something magical about dining in the galleries—we’re so lucky to have the opportunity.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLIDAY TRADITION?

My most cherished tradition is the big family dinner at my parent’s home on Christmas Eve. It’s the one time of year all of my aunts, uncles, cousins and even the in-laws are together to eat, drink and make merry. It’s loud and joyful and what I look forward to most.

WHAT’S COOKING IN YOUR HOUSE ON CHRISTMAS DAY?

Pie! Lots and lots of pie! I’ve taken over my grandmother’s role as the dessert maker for family Christmas dinner. I make all the classics— pumpkin, cherry and mincemeat.

WHAT SONG IS PLAYING?

Willie K.’s version of O Holy Night is my absolute favorite holiday song.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THIS YEAR’S KAMA‘AINA CHRISTMAS?

We’re celebrating the 30th year with a good old-fashioned Christmas party. I’m especially excited about the Wish Tree, which raises funds for key areas of the museum’s mission in a personal and meaningful way. I also hear there might be a visit from Santa.

AND OF COURSE, WHAT WILL YOU BE WEARING?

Holiday red!

First Hawaiian Bank: Corporate support for the arts

Since it opened in 1996, the exhibition space at First Hawaiian Center has been a premier showcase for Hawai‘i’s emerging contemporary artists. A long-standing partner of the museum, First Hawaiian Bank is committed to being a leading supporter of the islands’ arts and creative community. “At First Hawaiian Bank we’re proud of the role that we play in improving the lives of families in the communities in which we live and work,” says Bob Harrison, chairman and CEO of First Hawaiian Bank. “Through our partnership with the museum we’re pleased to support enriching art educa-tion opportunities for our youth and invigorate the community’s diverse cultural life through supporting the arts.”

Recognizing the transformative power art can have on one’s life, Elsa Lee established the Clarence & Elsa Lee Scholarship Fund in 2015 in memory of her late husband Clarence. Both graphic designers grew up in Honolulu, took art classes at the museum as children and over the years enjoyed the exhibitions, lectures, films and events the museum offered.

As a child, Clarence spent hours drawing on his father’s pink butcher paper. His parents took notice and enrolled him in drawing classes at the museum’s art school, where he was the one of two kids from McCully. Clarence went on to serve as a member of the muse-um’s Board of Trustees and was named by the Honpa Hongwanji Mission a Living Treasure of Hawaii for his illustrious design career.

Today, Elsa regularly takes their grandson Logan to the museum to introduce him to the world of art, and she takes watercolor classes at the Art School. She feels the museum is so much more accessible than it was when she was a child. “The Honolulu Museum of Art is so important to our island community because through art it connects us to the world,” says Lee. “It’s just a beau-tiful place to be!”

The museum thanks Elsa for making it possible for underserved children to take classes at the Art School and experience the possibilities art provides.

Cooke Foundation, Ltd.: Funding a legacyBefore the museum opened in 1927, founder Anna Charlotte (Rice) Cooke hauled exquisite works of art—by car or by trolley—to local schools so students could learn about art. Her plan? To build community in a multi-ethnic society by helping people to find common ground through art. We remain inspired by Mrs. Cooke’s commitment to leveraging art education for community change, and we are grateful to the Cooke Foundation for its steadfast support of the museum. “We are so pleased to see how the museum brings Anna C. Cooke’s vision into reality, by bringing great art into the lives of thousands each year,” says Dale Bachman, president of the Cooke Foundation, Ltd.

Anna Rice Cooke Society

We are extraordinarily grateful to the following individuals who have included the Honolulu Museum of Art in their estate plans. Their foresight, thoughtfulness and generosity will help secure the museum’s future for generations to come.

The Honolulu Museum of Art is a place where people connect—with art and with each other.

KEVIN FUJINAGA: DONATING TALENT AND TIME

“We first met Kevin Fujinaga through one of our caterers,” says Christina Nishihara, director of events. “Connections happen in unexpected places!” Shortly after that, in 2012, Kevin was invited to join the museum’s ARTafterDARK advisory board, and he has been instrumental in the success of our member engagement events ever since.

As chair of this year’s sold-out August Moon, Kevin, with a strong committee behind him, helped raise more than $79,000 for the museum—a record for the event.

He has dedicated more than 170 hours of his time and talents to organizing museum events, and has brought in countless new supporters along the way. We are indebted to his commitment and encouraged by his enthusiasm for the museum.

“I really enjoy working with the museum staff,” explains Kevin, who is the marketing coordinator at Hawaiian Airlines. “The passion that they have for the museum and its initiatives is inspiring and it drives me to work hard too. The museum is a valuable part of Honolulu’s cultural landscape, as it provides art education and serves as a gathering place for Hawai‘i’s artists and our community.”

SHEIKA ALGHEZAWI: A NEW GENERATION OF MUSEUM MEMBER

After moving from San Francisco to Honolulu in 2013, Sheika, a photog-raphy graduate student at the time, sought a place of inspiration for her own artwork. She was drawn to the Honolulu Museum of Art because, “it feels like an intimate space but it houses a rich collection of works by such important artists.” Sheika was excited to find like-minded people her own age at ARTafterDARK, and promptly became a museum member. She says the monthly art party helps to change people’s image of “stuffy museums” and breaks down barriers so people of all ages can engage with the art. Sheika’s passion for connecting people with art led her to volunteer at ARTafterDARK, where she helps with membership sales and check-in.

ROBERTA SCHMITZ: MEET ONE OF THE MUSEUM’S RAISONS D’ÊTRE

A librarian in the Hawai‘i State Public Library System, Roberta Schmitz and her children have been museum members since 1999. What makes her such a dedicated member? “People come to the library and that’s their place to go,” explains Roberta, “it’s their place to relax, calm down, to get away, or cool off, and that’s what the museum is for me.” To her, the museum is a great leveler—“even if you don’t know you like art or need art, it’s here, there’s something you could relate to. The museum brings in a diversity of people and is inclusive of everyone.” She rides her bike everywhere and would love more bike racks at the museum to encourage the community to get around Honolulu using alternative transportation.
