TEXTILES FOR THE HEAD:
UTILITY, IDENTITY, AUTHORITY / PART 2

with Christine Brown
Collector and World Traveler, Washington, DC

Washington, D.C.-based textile enthusiast Christine Brown will continue her popular discussion of textiles placed on the head that she presented to TMA/SC in July 2014. Part I of her presentation discussed some of the many purposes for which textiles are placed on the head. Part II will focus on a specific type of headdress--those created to look like animals or animal parts. The people wearing this type of headdress believe it embodies attributes of the animal it represents and may convey authority, be amuletic, attract good fortune, and more.

Christine Brown has a long and abiding interest in traditional cultures around the world. She has a degree in Anthropology, was a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, and has spent her career working on development assistance projects funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. She was the Program Committee co-Chair of the International Hajji Baba Society, the Washington, D.C.-based rug and textile collectors group, and has an avid interest in ethnic jewelry and adornment. She co-curated three exhibitions of ethnic jewelry at the former Bead Museum in Washington, D.C. Her presentation of "Textiles for the Head" was her fourth at the Textile Museum. Audience members are welcome to bring any type of textile-type headdress for show & tell, but examples made to resemble birds, mammals, or reptiles are especially encouraged.

Cabala Mineralis is the title of a manuscript signed by Rabbi Simeon Ben Cantara.

picture: A little black winged dragon biting its tail is placed in what may seem (an it actually is) the basin in which the boy’s urine has been gathered. Little black clouds hover above the basin and a little rain is hitting the dragon. A motto around the basin: “Mercurii Germen. Hermaphroditum”.

De acuerdo con Sahagún, preparaban la carne con maíz y “daban a cada uno un pedazo de aquella carne en una escudilla o cajete, con su caldo y su maíz cocido”. Esta comida se llamaba tlacatlaolli.

Sukhdev Sandhu writes that "LOVE AFFAIR prickles with possibility," but that "as with all Makavejev’s films, melancholia must wrestle with mirth. There’s an ongoing tension between the sadness of everything and a joy formidable." Read the article on our Makavejev retro herehttps://www.4columns.org/sandhu-sukhdev/dusan-makavejev

Boijmans Van Beuningen

#SlowArtSunday
De museale waardering voor surrealistische kunst kwam in de jaren zestig mondjesmaat op gang in Nederland. De vrouwelijke surrealisten genoten in die periode nog minder bekendheid dan hun mannelijke collega’s. Enerzijds werden zij door hen geadoreerd, anderzijds werden hun artistieke kwaliteiten door dezelfde groep mannen gemarginaliseerd. Zij kregen veelal de rol van muze, lustobject of ‘femme-enfant’ toebedeeld. Van deze ‘kindvrouwtjes’ werd beweerd dat zij mannen konden betoveren met hun charme. Hierdoor kregen zij toegang tot het onderbewuste. Kunstenaars als Leonora Carrington hebben zich altijd tegen deze rol verzet en wilden om hun beeldend werk worden gewaardeerd. Pas vanaf de jaren zeventig zorgde een aantal artikelen over de artistieke bijdrage van vrouwelijke surrealisten voor verandering. Het werk van Carrington toont aan hoe belangrijk de bijdrage van vrouwen aan het internationale surrealisme is geweest. Het museum kijkt de laatste jaren, actief naar kunstenaars en onderwerpen die in het verleden over het hoofd zijn gezien en museale aandacht en erkenning verdienen. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is daarbij gefocust op het werk en de positie van vrouwelijke surrealisten.
