SUMMARY:Talk | Donna De Salvo on the early years of the Parrish
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER \n$5 Members | $16 Adults (Non-Members) $12 Seniors | Free for Students\, Children \nAs part of a series of conversations recognizing the Museum’s rich history as a leading East End arts institution\, former Robert Lehman Curator Donna de Salvo will discuss its early years through the lens of her landmark 1992 exhibition\, A Museum Looks at Itself\, Mapping Past and Present at the Parrish Art Museum\, 1897-1992. Presented at the Parrish’s original home on Jobs Lane\, the exhibition surveyed the Museum’s beginnings as the Art Gallery of Southampton and  the Eurocentrism and politics of its founder\, Samuel Longstreth Parrish\, who envisioned his museum as a “mini-Metropolitan Museum\,” replete with Venetian panel paintings\, plaster casts\, and busts of the Roman Caesars. The exhibition extended into the decades of leadership by Rebecca Bolling Littlejohn who\, after Parrish’s death\, focused the collection on American art. \nWriting of De Salvo’s exhibition in a 1992 story in Art in America\, art historian Kenneth E. Silver noted\, “As staged by curator Donna De Salvo with contributions by artists Fred Wilson and Judith Barry\, the exhibition explored issues involving esthetic choice and period taste\, notions of art-historical authenticity and America’s onetime cultural inferiority complex as well as questions of class consciousness and racism. Not bad for a provincial museum.” \nUsing the Museum’s archives and collection\, along with artist interventions\, A Museum Looks at Itself was one attempt to reveal the often-concealed biases and beliefs that can shape the methodology and motives of a museum\, and through such inquiry bring about change. These interventions and self-interrogations are more urgent now than ever. Join De Salvo as she talks about this landmark exhibition as well as its relevance today. \nDonna De Salvo is a curator\, writer\, and consultant who has worked with numerous national and international artists and museum collections. De Salvo is currently Senior Adjunct Curator\, Special Projects\, Dia Art Foundation\, held several positions at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, becoming its first Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Programs where she oversaw the museum’s curatorial department and program of exhibitions and acquisitions. Known for her thematic exhibitions\, such as Open Systems: Rethinking Art c. 1970 (Tate Modern) and Hand-Painted Pop: American Art in Transition (1955-1962) (LAMoCA). De Salvo has also organized exhibitions or commissioned the work of Barbara Bloom\, John Chamberlain\, Roni Horn\, Anish Kapoor\, Barbara Kruger\, Steve McQueen\, Barnett Newman\, Hélio Oiticica\, Ed Ruscha\, Cy Twombly\, Lawrence Weiner\, and Joe Zucker\, amongst many others. De Salvo has held curatorial positions at Tate Modern\, London; the Wexner Center in Columbus\, Ohio; Dia Art Foundation\, in New York; and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. In the 1990s\, she was the Robert Lehman Curator at the Parrish Art Museum\, where she organized numerous exhibitions\, including an installation on Job’s Lane of the work of Maren Hassinger. \nThe program will be recorded and later available on the Parrish Youtube Channel. \n  \nFriday Nights are supported in part by  The Corcoran Group
