'Friends and Strangers' celebrated her long and fruitful relationship with the work of the master in figurative paintings and drawings from the years 1967 to 1987. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Fisher Director Selma Holo wrote of the artist...⁠⠀ "Joyce Treiman, then, by means of art and life, reminds us along with Yeats that the soul can 'clap its hands and sing for every tatter in its mortal dress.' "⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Check out our Stories today for further exploration of this exhibition, which originated at Fisher before traveling to @magrochester and @portlandartmuseum.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🎨: Joyce Treiman, 'Rose IX,' Pastel and charcoal, 1985, Collection of Judith Taylor, LA, CA.⁠⠀ #uscfishermusuem #fishermusuemofart #5womenartists #museumfromhome #pastel #drawing #womanartist⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Instagram post 2274299218943646602_234118632 We continue to focus on the #5womenartists campaign to bring attention to women artists and gender inequality in the arts during #WomensHistoryMonth.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #LitaAlbuquerque has presented her innovative multimedia works at Fisher on two occasions. In the fall of 1983, she collaborated with architect Robert Kramer, composer Harold Budd for the installation "Abhasa: Image Bearing Light" with choreography by Leslie Linka Glatter. Galactic images and photographs of Los Angeles at night filled the galleries, intermingling and overlapping with performers and music. (swipe through to see an image from that 1983 piece).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ More recently in 2016, Albuquerque presented #2020Accelerando, which merged film, sound, and performance to tell the story of a 25th century female astronaut who lands on Earth in the year 6,000 BC with a mission to seed interstellar consciousness on the planet. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The main character in the installation asks these (appropriate to our current moment) questions..⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ “Where was I? ⁠⠀ And why was I awakening⁠⠀ at this moment, ⁠⠀ on this planet?”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #uscfishermuseum #fishermuseumofart #installationart #multimediart #womenartist #galactic⁠ #museumfromhome #museummomentofzen ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
