I I I I I I I I I I L---------------------------------------------~ Revelaciones: The Arts of Manuel Alvarez Bravo The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to present an exhibition of 113 photographs by Manuel Alvarez Bravo. At, 89, Bravo is one of the undisputed masters of 20th Century photography. Born in Mexico City in 1902, Bravo has spent his life in Mexico. For nearly 70 years he has photographed the land and people of Mexico, poetically framing the sensual and the violent, the ancient and the new. The black-and-white photographs in the exhibition reveal his roots in both Mexican history-- with it's ancient allusions and symbols-and in European art history, particularly Surrealism. The exhibition includes several portraits including one of noted artist and painter Frida Kahlo, wife of Diego Rivera. Revelaciones is made possible by a grant from the American Express Company and will be on display in the Thomas Gallery, at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, from January 17-March 7, 1993. This day-long workshop will be a model for presenting concepts related to the photography, language and poetry of the Manuel Alvarez Bravo photography exhibition in your classroom. The objective of this workshop is to foster the use of the museum by secondary educators from multi-disciplines, with a specific goal of training teachers in how to guide their own groups through the Bravo exhibition. Using the Polaroid instant camera, participants will be able to make photographs based on the workshop themes, to write about and discuss them and to create a model for similar classroom instruction. Teachers who participate in this workshop will receive free registration, lunch, camera, film, teaching packet, and a scholarship for bus money to bring students to the Museum to visit the Bravo exhibition.· Teachers who participate in the workshop will be required to bring their students to the Museum. Space is limited to the first 30 teachers who register. 3 Curator of Education Utah Museum of Fine Arts Ms. Brown's experiences as an educator in museums demonstrate the many challenges offered by such a career. Among requirements for such a position Ms. Brown lists writing and research skills and the ability to understand and respond to people and their needs and interests. A Curator of Education has the responsibilities of program development for all ages, recruitment, training and supervision of volunteer guides or docents, design of out-reach and traveling exhibit programs, creation and publishing of educational materials, budget management, and grant writing. "People and cultures as they are revealed in art and artifacts have always fascinated me!" This is how Bernadette Brown, new Curator of Educational Services at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, explains her combined studies in anthropology and art. She views the role of educator in an art museum as a position having many challenges and an abundance of variety. Ms. Brown says she was interested in archaeology as a teenager. At Hunter College her sophomore courses introduced her to classical archaeology, and from there she broadened her interests to anthropology of Native Americans and the New World, then to the art of Egypt, the Near East and finally to modern art. Ms. Brown likes the Western United States and turned down jobs in Eastern States to come to Salt Lake City. In Spokane she enjoyed working with the "people who get things done", rather than the many layered bureaucracy she dealt with in New York City. She likes the people here, finds them "friendly and being themselves, rather that trying to impress." "I am looking forward to working with the 'doers' in art education in connection with my work with the Utah Museum of Fine Arts!" When Ms. Brown completed her BA in Anthropology with a minor in Art History/Archaeology she knew she wanted to work in a Museum. Faced with a choice of positions in the American Museum of Natural History or the Brooklyn Museum she chose the Brooklyn Museum because of the educational philosophies of the director. From 1964 to 1988 Ms. Brown was Coordinator of Interns in 4 |
