Aloha one and all! Please allow me to start this first letter by thanking the board members, donors, volunteers, docents, staff, teachers, students and the many other supporters and friends that help make the Honolulu Museum of Art one of the most wonderful museums in the world.

Given that I have been intimately involved with this museum since I was five, it is not an exaggera-tion to say that this institution has occupied my thoughts practically my entire life, and to be given the opportunity to serve HoMA and you as director is, for me, the ultimate honor and privilege. Please know that I will dedicate my career to advancing our museum to new heights.

I join the museum during a milestone year—HoMA turns 90 in April (see pages 22 and 26 for more on this). Since 1927, this institution has affected the people in the entire state of Hawai‘i. The responsibility for the arts education of our citizens and visitors is indeed a noble mission and one that is critical to the health and future of our society. However, as government support wanes, the museum must increase its activities in an orga-nized and systematic approach in order to fill this growing educational and cultural gap. Our people need us to be an efficient and effective organiza-tion, and I will do all I can to make this happen.

Even though I have been in office for only two weeks (!) as I write this letter, I see three obvious aspects of the museum that I believe need to be developed as part of the larger institutional strategy:

1 We must raise the international profile of the museum, so that more people all over the world want to visit.

2 We must continue to make the museum relevant to the people of Hawai‘i, so that we have a more educated and informed population.

3 We must operate the museum in a sustainable way, so that it is financially healthy enough to serve the public in the most effective and appropriate manner.

These seem like big, broad goals, but they can serve as an important way to organize our approaches to many issues. I also see them as absolutely essential if we want to further our great institution and develop a great future for arts and culture in Hawai‘i.

So on that positive note, mahalo nui loa to you all! Onwards and upwards to 100!

March 16–July 30, 2017

TRAINED AT THE NATIONAL COLLEGE OF ARTS in Lahore, Pakistan, Shahzia Sikander first became internationally recognized for her work in revitalizing the traditional practice of Indo-Persian miniature painting. She has since become a leading international contemporary artist, expanding both the physical and conceptual boundaries of miniature painting in startling ways. Parallax consists of hundreds of painstaking, hand-drawn images that form a symbolic visual language of motifs pregnant with subjective meaning. These images were converted to digital format and translated into a monumentally scaled, three-channel single image immersive audio-visual installation, projected at the Honolulu Museum of Art over a 45-foot-wide-surface. The animation is accompanied by an operatic score prepared by Chinese composer Du Yun that combines new poetic compositions in classical and colloquial Arabic by three contemporary Sharjah poets to provide a tapestry of multiple independent voices woven into a greater unified harmony. The result is a combination of visual and audi-tory stimuli that produce a multivalent narrative of ever-shifting significance.

First created for the 2013 Sharjah Bienniale, Parallax was inspired by the artist’s journey through the land-scape of the United Arab Emirates. It explores contested histories of colonialism, political-economic power and cultural authority that characterize the area’s complex history. While certain themes, such as the importance of oil, presented through surging black flows and pipe-and-valve constructions consciously resembling Christmas trees, are specific to the original venue, other motifs are universal, questioning shared values of personal and collective identity. The result is a work of regional and global, individual and societal relevance that operates on multiple levels at once.

Sikander has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the U.S. Department of State Medal of Art (2012) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Genius Award (2006).

In February, a crane set in place on the museum’s front lawn Artificial Rock #133 by Zhan Wang. The work is part of the Honolulu Biennial: Middle of Now | Here, presented by Honolulu Biennial Foundation and The Howard Hughes Corporation, based at the Hub (formerly Ward Village’s Sports Authority space) and includes installations at locations throughout the city.

Beijing-born Zhan Wang, one of China’s superstar Conceptual sculptors, has taken the fantastically eroded rocks revered by Chinese scholars since the eighth century and updated it for the 21st century by re-creating the scholar’s rock in an industrial medium—stainless steel. Artificial Rock #133 comprises the real rock alongside Zhan’s cast. The artist molds sheets of the metal around the surface of a traditional scholar’s

rock (also known as “strange stone”), removes the sheets, welds them together, and burnishes the surface. Directly playing off the 17th-century scholar’s stone on view in our China Gallery, Zhan’s Artificial Rock #133 challenges us to think about tradition—and how our notions of it continues to evolve in the contemporary world.

Don’t miss this chance to see important art from Hawai‘i, the Pacific Islands, Asia, North America, Australia, and New Zealand from March 8 to May 8. The artists were selected by Biennial curatorial director Fumio Nanjo, director of Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum, and Biennial curator Ngahiraka Mason, former curator of Indigenous art at Maori Art at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.

Camouflage Rhythms: Artwork by Juliette May Fraser features oil and watercolor paintings created by Fraser during World War II when she worked side-by-side with lei sellers making camouflage nets for the Army Corps of Engineers. Artists such as Fraser were recruited for their acumen with color, composition, and the painting and dyeing process. Lei sellers and fishnet makers were recruited for their expertise in weaving techniques and agile hands, and their deep knowledge of the Hawaiian environment where the camouflage nets were used to conceal military equipment. In an unexpected yet highly productive arrangement, Fraser and the lei sellers devel-oped a system consisting of cutting burlap and recycled fabric into strips, dyeing and configuring the strips to blend in with specific areas around the islands, and then weaving the strips onto large-scale nets, often completed while singing Hawaiian songs.

This scenario emerged as a result of economic changes after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Hawai‘i’s economy felt the impacts of war almost immedi-ately, especially when the U.S. government requisitioned commercial passenger ships for military service in the weeks following December 7. Ships that transported goods to and from the islands were used to transport construction and military supplies, and the luxury liners that once brought tourists were re-purposed to bring construction workers and military service men and women to Hawai‘i as part of what has become the military complex. By January 1942, the influx of American military personnel arriving by ship in place of wealthy vacationing travelers brought the booming lei-selling industry to a screeching halt. The painter and lei sellers adapted to the economic shifts and secured work that allowed them to continue being artists, in an entirely new context.

The museum continues its contemporary Hawai‘i artist program in the John Dominis and Patches Damon Holt Gallery with this series by Christopher Cole. The Maui-based artist uses a 1950s large-format 8x10 view camera with a specialized lens, allowing him to create photographic prints on a grand scale that capture the enormity of his subject matter as well as incredible detail within the landscape/cityscape. The Global South documents settlements on the margins of urban centers such as Kabul, Afghanistan; Kathmandu, Nepal; and Mexico City, Mexico, and exists on the border between documentary and fine art photography. Viewers are encouraged to study the photographs to notice subtleties that may offer a glimpse into the lives, as well as challenge assump-tions, about the urban poor in the developing world.

Raised on O‘ahu, Christopher Cole studied photography at The Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C., and at Sarah Lawrence College, New York, before pursuing graduate studies in anthropology at the London School of Economics. His photo-graphs have been exhibited at galleries in Hawai‘i and New York City. He received a 2016 recognition award from the Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, as well as awards from NATO and the U.S. Departments of State and Defense for his humanitarian aid work. This exhibition is curated by Jay Jensen, Curator of Contemporary Art.

This exhibition highlights textile works from around world that go beyond the basics of providing protection, warmth, security and comfort. Made from wool, silk, and cotton, these works were worn as emblems of status, displayed as ceremonial banners, presented as tribute cloth or used in trade. Whether the artists are identified or remain anonymous, their legacy unfolds with each piece, an intricately handmade record of history.

From wool wrappings such as a Bhutanese charkep (rain blanket) and a woman’s houli (drape gown) from Tunisia to elegantly embroidered Uzbeki suzani (meaning ‘needlework’) and Japanese kimono-shaped yogi (bed cover) of Japan that was often given to a groom’s family to celebrate a marriage, Global Warming offers a glimpse into shared geometries, auspicious motifs and fertility symbols.

Okumura Masanobu (1686–1764) contributed to the develop-ment of early Japanese woodblock prints (“primitive ukiyo-e”) in intriguing ways. He has been credited as the first artist to add luminous materials, such as gold dust and mica, to the surface of hand-painted prints, and he is believed to have invented novel formats, such as the large-scale, vertical “pillar print.” While reviving public interest in the sort of ink rubbings produced in China since the early 7th century, he also experimented with Western techniques of linear perspective. The art-historical importance of this self-taught artist’s inventions is rivaled only by his massive production: from the age of twelve, he published more than 140 books and several hundred single-sheet prints. This rotation highlights some of the finest work by this pioneer of woodblock printmaking.

Illustrating the Modern Novel: The Art of Mizuno ToshikataApril 13–June 18, 2017Mizuno Toshikata (1886–1908), a student of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892), became one of the most prolific artists in the genre of kuchi-e, the multicolor, woodblock-printed frontispieces for works of popular fiction produced from the 1890s through the 1910s.

Educational reforms after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 dramatically improved the literacy rate of Japanese women. In response to this new audience, journals such as Literary Club (Bungei Kurabu, published 1895–1933) featured serialized romance novels, which were illustrated with a kuchi-e print, folded into thirds and included at the beginning of the magazine. While the artwork was originally intended to depict a scene from one of the stories, due to strict publication deadlines and the time-intensive nature of woodblock printmaking, by around 1902, artists began to produce “stand-alone” kuchi-e (frequently portraits of beautiful women) that had no direct connection to the narratives. Around 1914, the rising popularity of photography and lithographic prints led to the death of kuchi-e as a genre. Nevertheless, recent publica-tions such as A Survey of Woodblock Kuchi-e Prints (Mokuhan kuchi-e sōran) by Yamada Nanako (b. 1939) have drawn attention to the aesthetic value and art-historical importance of these often overlooked artworks.

Degas’s Escape:Affirming while Obliterating His Marks on Paper and Canvas

Timothy J. Standring, Gates Foundation Curator of Painting and Sculpture, Denver Art Museum April 17 • 6pm • Doris Duke Theatre • Free

Edgar Degas’s works defy categorization. Being neither a Realist nor an Impressionist, but a hybrid of sorts, he worked fearlessly, passionately, and determinedly in a vast array of media, from etchings and mono-types, to pastels and photography. Timothy Standring’s anecdote-filled talk—based on research undertaken in museums and libraries across Europe and North America—is the perfect introduction to this late 19th-century French artist. This year marks the centenary of Degas’s death, which is being celebrated with exhibitions worldwide.

Timothy J. Standring joined the Denver Art Museum in 1989, and since then has led a significant initiative to make art and art history accessible to a broader public and has served the museum in many capacities. He has curated more than 13 exhibitions at the museum and his many published articles reflect interests that include 17th-century Roman patrons, van Gogh’s drawings, and the works of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth.

The artist’s pioneering practice takes Indo-Persian minia-ture painting as a point of departure and challenges the strict formal tropes of miniature painting as well as its medium-based restrictions by experimenting with scale and media. She is the recipient of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

“genius award” and her work has appeared in the Istanbul Biennial, the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the Venice Biennale, among many other venues.

Eye of the Sixties:Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art

Judith Stein, author May 3 • 6pm • Doris Duke Theatre • Free

Judith Stein, author of the evocative biography Eye of the Sixties: Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art (Farrar, Straus & Girous) takes you back to the early sixties, to the beginning of the market for contemporary art in New York, when the art dealer and tastemaker Richard Hu Bellamy (1927-98) made history but chose not to make money. At the fabled Green Gallery on 57th Street, Bellamy launched the careers of today’s iconic Pop, Op and conceptual artists, mavericks and minimalists including Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin. In her talk, Stein brings alive a posterity-averse beatnik with a legendary eye, a tale that unfolds as postmodernism elbowed the past aside.

HoMA turns 90O N A P R I L 8 , 1 92 7, the Honolulu

Museum of Art opened its doors to the public (see p. 26 for more on this milestone day), with a permanent collection of 500 works from founder

Anna Rice Cooke’s personal collection. The museum’s 1922

charter of incorporation outlines its purpose as “the promotion of

study and advancement of education in matters of art, the encouragement of artists, the acquisition and public exhibition of pictures, statuary and other works and things of art and the extension and use thereof to artists and others interested in the study of art.”

While the museum and its perspective has evolved over the last 90 years, that original mandate still describes the core of the institution’s goals.

To celebrate the milestone, HoMA will post a series of stories and videos on its blog and on social media that reflect on the museum and its influence on people’s lives. Look out for events throughout the year celebrating our 90th year, such as Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday on April 16 and ARTafterDARK on April 28.

honolulumuseum.org/blog See the new mural in Luce PavilionFrom Feb. 13 to 18, as part of POW! WOW! Hawaii 2017, Spanish artist Cinta Vidal Agulló painted a new mural in Luce Pavilion. For the third time, the museum part-nered with Jasper Wong of Pow! Wow! Hawaii and Andrew Hosner of Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, who together selected Agulló. The result is Blow, a striking work that she describes as “Hawaiian elements floating, like they are flying out of the museum, like culture in move-ment as a concept.” She wanted to depict Hawaiian culture in her mural because “for me, muralism is about the relation of the mural and its environment.”

Cinta Vidal’s sketch for her mural Blow.

Philanthropist in Memoriam: Sam CookeIn November, the family of Sam Cooke was in attendance for the 2016 National Philanthropy Day, Outstanding Leaders in Hawaii Philanthropy Lunch, hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals —Aloha Chapter. The Honolulu Museum of Art nominated Sam for his extraordinary

philanthropic and leader-ship efforts that positively impacted many nonprofits across our community.

Sam was one of the museum’s longest serving and most distinguished board members. He was chairman of the Board of Trustees for 46 years and as chairman of the board led the Renaissance Campaign that funded the Luce Pavilion in 1997 for $30 million.

A reluctant farewell: Jared StoneIf you think the museum’s design—from parking lot signs to exhibition graphics to the publication in your hands—has improved over the last five years, it is the result of Jared Stone. A Texas native, Jared came to Honolulu from New York City in 2010, and the museum was lucky to snag him in 2011—just in time to work on rebranding the museum. His first day was Aug. 29. I will never forget the date because his arrival changed the museum and my working life.

Jared’s talents covered every aspect of design, and if there was something he wasn’t well-versed in, he researched it and did it, from designing digital templates to producing entire catalogs. The museum piled a mountain of

design jobs on him and he handled it all with good humor and timeliness.

“Graphic designers can be a migra-tory bunch—it’s not uncommon for us to bounce from one studio to the next,” says Stone. “So the fact that I’ve been designing at HoMA for over five years really means something. Career-wise, it is the longest I’ve ever stayed put, because the museum is such a cool place to work. It has gorgeous venues, outstanding art exhibitions, exciting films and performances, premier social events and a staff that has become family to me. It has been more than a job, it’s a source of inspiration that I’ll continue to draw from for years to come.”

He left the museum at the end of February—he and his wife Alyson, whom you may know from her sunny service at the Museum Café, relocated to Colorado —but his visual legacy continues to guide the museum.

—L E SA G R I F F I T H, director of communications

From the ARCHIVESA museum is born

BY ALMOST ALL ACCOUNTS, the opening of the Honolulu Academy of Arts on the after-noon of April 8, 1927, was a joyful and momentous occa-sion. The Reverend Stephen Desha, Sr., opened the cele-bration at 3pm with a blessing in Hawaiian; in Central Courtyard, Henry Berger led the Royal Hawaiian Band.

So many people came through the doors that the doorman could not click his counter fast enough to keep up.

There were, however, one or two detractors. “This is a lovely garden,” one woman is reported to have said to her companion, “but of course, my dear, it’s not like Versailles!”

One of the afternoon’s highlights was Bina Mossman’s Glee Club performing “Ha‘aheo Kilohana Ika La‘i,” a song written in honor of the museum’s opening by Mary Jane Kekulani Fayerweather Montano and set to music by Bina Mossman.

Mossman, one of the first female representatives in the Territorial Legislature and formerly the High Sheriff of the Territory of Hawai‘i, is known for the songs “Hele au i Kaliponi,” “Niu Haohao,” and “Ka Pua U‘i,” among others.

The first verse, in English translation, reads

Resplendent Kilohana dwells in the fair clime,Most fair a pearl for the race,Permeated with the sweetness and the fragranceO Hawai‘i and the eight seas

Reflecting on the song and opening festivities more than 50 years later, Mossman emphasized what “Kilohana” refers to: “‘Ha‘aheo Kilohana’ means to stand calmly….The museum stands out, you see—it stood out so prominently…it’s like a pearl to the people of the islands.” — DAW N S U EO K A , archivist

Pictured above: Bina Mossman’s Glee Club performed “Ha‘aheo Ika La‘i” on opening day. Back row, from left: Helen Fuller, Ku‘ualoha Treadway, Flora Hayes, Gaelic Fitzgerald, Emma Morreira. Front row, from left: Nora Markham, Jenny Gilliland, Bina Mossman, Elisabeth Bayless, Mary Saffery.

Sheet music for “Ha‘aheo Kilohana Ika La‘i.”

What’s in a name?I N 1920 , museum founder Anna Rice Cooke began cataloging her art collection with Catharine E. B. Cox, a teacher of art and dramatics (her grandson Richard is a dedicated museum supporter today—he funded the Collection Highlights catalog). Their work laid the foundation for Mrs. Cooke’s interest in building a museum especially for Honolulu’s youth. On March 16, 1922, the Territory of Hawai‘i issued a charter of incor-poration to the Honolulu Museum of Art for “the promotion of study and advancement of education in matters of art, the encourage-ment of artists, the acquisition and public exhibition of works and things of art and the extension and use thereof to artists and others interested in the study of art.”

As education increasingly became a driving force behind the museum, the name was changed to Honolulu Academy of Arts, and the charter was amended to include a broader education program.

With the museum’s education mission firmly established—it welcomes more than 20,000 students on free school tours, and more than 4,000 students in its Art School every year—it reverted back to its original name in 2011, after joining with The Contemporary Museum. While some of us will always call it the Academy, the name change has had its benefits—the number of out-of-state visitors has increased 10 percent since 2012—because it’s now clear we are a museum.
