Providing great art experiences is our passion at Kennedy Museum of Art. For
that reason, we constantly assess and reassess our exhibitions and programs based
on input from you, the visitor. Responses to evaluation forms and the comment
book, along with attendance records are useful tools for appraising public interest.
The Museum evolves by introducing new concepts based on that data and available
resources.
Clearly, the current economic climate presents extraordinary challenges, which
cannot be ignored. Museum staff and volunteers are creatively addressing financial
realities by rethinking programs and initiating new ideas designed to maintain the quality
of the visitor’s experience. Here are some:
The Museum is launching a Curator’s Circle during the upcoming months. The
principle purpose of the group is to raise funds for the purchase of art. Circle members
will have special opportunities to learn about the collections and the privilege of voting
for a work of art that will be accessioned into the permanent collections. Annual
membership dues are $1,000 and include: invitations to two exclusive wine and cheese
gatherings with the Museum’s director and curator as well as one vote to select a
work of art. Proceeds will be used only for the purchase and transportation of artwork.
The Curator’s Circle purchases will receive recognition on gallery labels and in printed
materials. Watch for further details regarding this exciting program.
With the goal of increasing membership by 20 percent, a comprehensive package
of membership benefits is being planned. When finally developed and implemented,
member benefits will include free admission to opening exhibition receptions and
special discounts. Nonmembers will be charged to attend receptions. Daily admission to
our galleries and most programs will continue to be free to the general public.
To preserve financial and natural resources, an electronic version of this magazine
is available for download and/or viewing online. Upon request current members may
elect to continue receiving a printed copy. Only the online version will be available to
new members.
A task force comprised of Vanessa Kaukonen, James Coady and Matt Rapposelli
is studying the feasibility of establishing a Museum café and shop. If deemed feasible
and funding is forthcoming, the café/shop could be up and running within one year. A
business plan is currently pending approval.
Again, your input guides our decision making process, which in turn, helps us serve
all visitors better. Thank you and please continue to share your ideas.

art21.org
Kennedy Museum of Art is pleased
to welcome artist Mark Dion who will
shine his spotlight on the collections
of community members and Ohio
University. The Museum will collaborate
with the Ohio University School of Art
in Dion’s two gallery exhibitions. Mark
Dion: Collected Editions 1992-2009 will
show limited edition prints and multiples
created by Dion between the years 1992
and 2009 in the Trisolini Gallery at Baker
University Center from September 18
to November 14, 2009, while Kennedy
Museum of Art will present Collections
Collected: The University Collects
and Athens Collects Miniatures from
September 24 to November 29, 2009.
Dion attended the School of Visual
Arts in New York from 1982 to 1984,
participated in an independent study
program at the Whitney Museum of
American Art in New York in 1985, and
attended the University of Hartford,
Connecticut the same year. Since then,
Dion’s work has been featured in many
international exhibitions in Switzerland,
Spain, the Netherlands, Germany,
and Italy, as well as the Museum of
Modern Art, New York and the Miami
Art Museum, to name a few. His honors
Mark Dion:
Treasure Hunting in Athens and at Ohio University
include the 9th annual Larry Aldrich
Foundation Award, the Joan Mitchell
Foundation Award, and the Smithsonian
Museum of American Art’s Lucelia
Award.
Mark Dion exhibitions are unique
because of the way Dion brings
together objects from a community
and displays them in a manner that
is visually stimulating and productive.
Dion unites collections of objects from
different fields of study together in a
way that would not ordinarily occur. In
preparation for the exhibition at Kennedy
Museum of Art, Dion visited Athens
in fall, 2008 and spring, 2009 to view
the departmental collections of the
university. The paleobotanical collection
was one of the many places Dion visited
in his April, 2009 trip to Athens, and
Royal Mapes, PhD, associate professor
Emeriti in the Geological Sciences
Department, was there to greet him.
Mapes was enthusiastic about the visit,
saying that Dion was interested in such
things as mineral and fossil specimens,
hand-blown glass bottles, and even an
old miner’s hat. He said it was clear
that Dion has a mental guideline in his
collection process and was interested in
a wide variety of subjects and objects.
Mapes is looking forward to seeing what
Dion does with the exhibition, saying he
knows he will put the collected objects
“in a format to excite people’s interest
and make them ask questions.”
During his time in Athens, Dion
visited other departmental collections,
including the Medical Museum, the
Anthropology and Geology Departments,
the College of Engineering, and the
Athletics collection. When asked about
his collection process and why he
chooses to display some objects and
not others, Dion replies that his goal is
to find visually compelling objects that
represent aspects of the university and
its researchers. He likens his process
to “treasure hunting,” explaining that
he looks for things that are unique to a
particular collection, but that also may
represent the direction of that collection.
About his collection process, he says,
“The most interesting elements reflect
the particular focus of researchers.”
He adds that the history presented by
university collections is standard, but
the exceptional aspect is the individual
commitment of researchers and how
they “bring to life the things they
work with.” He mentions the zoology
researchers and their focus on things
such as specific kinds of birds and
arctic fish; he refers to the passion each
researcher has as “magical.”
After the collecting is done, Dion
says he will display his findings in a
“visually spectacular manner rather
than use a taxonomy structure.” He will
not rely on any particular classical still

life allegories of seasons or senses, but
more on dynamics. His concept for this
particular exhibition arose from seeing
how Kennedy Museum of Art relates
to the university and exploring how the
Museum would like to function within
the community, as if Kennedy Museum
of Art was his “client” for which he
could help “realize its ambitions.” Dion
was especially enthusiastic about
bringing people together from the
community and revealing treasures
from the collections he visited to a
broader public. Dion hopes that his work
“bring[s] together minds with different
approaches and different disciplines”
and that “disparate scholarship could
possibly lead to productive connections.”
He wishes to “create an opportunity for
cross fertilization.” The artist sees many
treasures within a community and he
presents this exhibition as an “interesting
way to reveal what’s out there” and to
share his privilege of exploration. He
asserts that the exhibitions at Kennedy
Museum of Art and Trisolini Gallery
will represent a broad cross section of
objects, with two-dimensional and three
dimensional works collected from the
> > >EXHIBITIONS
university, Dion’s own works, as well
as the miniature collections that are
gathered from amateur collectors around
the community.
This exhibition offers visitors the
opportunity to see the many aspects
of the university and the community
coming together, as well as the chance
to see the work of the notable Mark
Dion. Kennedy Museum of Art urges
everyone to come and mingle with other
great minds at the opening reception
of Collections Collected: The University
Collects and Athens Collects Miniatures
on September 24, 2009 from 6 to 8
pm. The Trisolini Gallery will also hold an
opening reception that is free and open
to the public on Friday, September 18,
from 7 to 9 pm.

Boulder, Colorado. He studied for one
year at the Los Angeles Art Center

of Fine Arts degree from the University
of Colorado. He attended Yale-Norfolk
Summer School of Art and received a
Master of Fine Arts degree in painting
at Ohio University. Pettigrew enjoyed

new president, saying, “Gladys is a very
capable woman. She will do just fine.”
Richardson sees the awarding of
the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation
grant to the Friends of Kennedy
Museum as one of her greatest
accomplishments at Kennedy Museum.
This grant funded the creation of the
ongoing Art of the Zuni educational
exhibit that opened in September
of 2007. Though she gives curator of
education, Sally Delgado, much of the
credit for this accomplishment, she is
proud to have supported the effort that
contributed directly to the education
Pettigrew often paints from
photographs, capturing images when the
light and the place is right, and when his
“mind is right.” Of this process he says,
“The photographic images are useful to
me only for as long as I am able to see
through them, back to the experience
that prompted me to take them.” Of
his work, Pettigrew says, “I emphasize

As for the new president, Stern
wants to focus on visibility. She wants
to increase membership to the Friends
and facilitate increased interest in the
Friends organization, and in the Museum
as well. Stern says, “The Friends are on
a good track,” and she plans to “sustain
productive activities” and, echoing one
of Richardson’s main concerns, support
the Museum’s educational mission.
Stern also expressed her happiness
and support in having Museum director
Edward Pauley in the leading position for

the ‘experience’ over the ‘appearance’. I
feel completely free to alter, omit, add,
relocate, and invent whatever helps
me get what I want into the painting.
Since much of what I paint is a product
of my own idiosyncratic perception of
‘reality’ and its relation to the delights of
paint, I want these things to be seen as
paintings, not as visual records.”
> > > EDUCATION
School Programs
Students engage with the Museum
Picture this…it’s a weekday
morning and over 100 elementary
age children pour out of school buses
in front of Lin Hall and flow into the
Museum. What follows is a carefully
choreographed experience that, in
recent months has included everything
from figuring out how a 360-degree
camera works, to exploring the structure
of blues rhythms, to discussions of
citizenship rights and responsibilities and
the creation of “citizen posters.”
Students from schools across
Athens County and beyond engage with
Kennedy Museum of Art exhibitions in
a variety of ways that strengthen their
understanding of the visual arts and
set the stage for lifelong learning and
enjoyment of the arts. Their experiences
are facilitated not only by Museum
staff, but also by a core group of Ohio
University students who dedicate a great
deal of time and energy to make each
museum experience meaningful and age
appropriate. Each year, a new team of
students in PACE (Program to Aid Career
Exploration) and Work-Study positions
work alongside graduate assistants
and students receiving service learning
credit to research exhibition content and
design ways to engage the elementary,
middle school, and high school students
in thoughtful explorations of ideas and
materials.
Programs are as varied as the
exhibitions themselves. Gallery activities
may be theme-based, such as those
designed around the College of Fine
Art’s theme of “Citizenship” last year, or
they may add another dimension to the
visual experience, such as comparing an
audio clip of Robert Johnson to a video
clip of a Howlin’ Wolf performance.
Studio activities in the Museum’s
Christine Demler Brown Center for Art
encourage students to reflect on their
gallery experiences and provide a “take
home” component to their visit.
School programs begin this fall
with the incredible opportunity for
students and teachers to visit Kennedy
Museum of Art during the mornings
that internationally known artist Mark
Dion installs his exhibition Collections
Collected: The University Collects
and Athens Collects Miniatures. With
funding from the Ohio Arts Council, Arts
for Ohio and Ohio University College of
Arts and Sciences, and the assistance
of bus funds from the Friends of
Kennedy Museum, students will have
the opportunity to engage with Dion
as he works with objects from their
community. It should not surprise any of
us if this leads to an entire re-evaluation
of ideas about art and science….what a
way to kick off the school year!

Assistant. Dave joined the Museum staff
in the fall of 2008 through the Program
to Aid Career Exploration or PACE, a
program that places undergraduate
students within areas of career interest
at Ohio University.

definitely impacted both the way
I envision the many diverse practical
demands that working with art objects
requires as well as the way that I look at
art objects, which has largely been the
result of preparing research for gallery
guides and text panels, accessioning
and doing condition reports.”
Working at Kennedy Museum of
Art has allowed Dave to work with all
of the Museum staff and, as he says,
to “have a different challenge each Photo by Jamie Farrell

painting and advertising. He plans to
graduate from Ohio University in Fall
2009 with a Bachelor of Art degree in
Art History, a field he says combines
all of his past experiences in the fields
he has studied. Through his experience
at Kennedy Museum of Art, he has
developed a growing interest in the
field of museum curation: “…having
had the opportunity this year of having
a hands-on experience with the works
day,” guiding his interests in a new
and stimulating way. Dave worked
on many aspects of the organization
and preparation for an exhibition,
including researching and writing for the
permanent collections exhibition, gallery
preparation, and assistance with special
events, such as the live event with blues
legend Willie “Big Eyes” Smith. Of all
his experiences, he says, “simply having
had a chance to spend time with the
artwork has widened the scope of my
knowledge, richened my experience
in class work, and introduced me to
artists with whom I wasn’t really familiar,
like Burhan Dogançay and Stanton
MacDonald Wright, not to mention the
opportunity to participate in preparation
of the Dion show - an experience that
I would not have likely had anywhere
else.”

Past students: Where are they now?

Cara Romano worked at Kennedy Museum of Art through the Program to Aid Career
Exploration (PACE), serving as a Curatorial Assistant and later as a Graduate Research
Assistant. Cara went on to Dallas Museum of Art where she was the McDermott
Curatorial Intern in the Ancient and Asian Art Collection from September 2008 to
June 2009. Cara worked with everything from Ancient Egyptian art and Endo-period
Japanese prints to South Asian art. Of her internship experience, she comments,
“studying Eastern religions, cultures, and their artistic traditions in depth, from objects
and remnants themselves, has definitely been a high point of my work here and is
something that has really helped me to expand my own thinking about art and life.”
