The Figge enters the New Year with a wonderful lineup of exhibitions and
programs that bring fresh perspectives on art and creativity. Centered on the
theme of “All About Glass,” our winter exhibitions invite visitors to view this
age-old material in new ways.
We use glass every day, not pausing to think of its long history that dates
back to 3500 BCE, when people in present-day Syria and Egypt began making
beads and simple vessels. Beginning February 22, a selection of ancient Roman
glass from the collections of Augustana College and the Putnam Museum will be
on exhibit in our Lewis Gallery.
Contemporary artists—fascinated by the color, fluidity and versatility of
glass—have taken the medium in exciting new directions, as seen in Michael
Meilahn’s Corn Zone at the Figge and Landscape: Ingalena Klenell and Beth
Lipman. Kids Design Glass combines the imaginations of children with the skills
of master craftsmen from the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, in an
exhibition that asks wonderful questions about the nature of creativity and
artistic collaboration. Finally, Katja Loher’s Videoplanet–Orchestra combines
glass, video, performance and installation art into an immersive environment
that speaks to the complexity of our world today.
When you visit, take a look at the beautiful Denkmann family stained glass
window in our permanent galleries. Louis Comfort Tiffany used layers of colored
glass to evoke an eternal landscape. I’m sure the Romans would have fully
appreciated his artistry!
We have a full schedule of exciting Thursday evening activities planned
for the New Year as well, with lectures, gallery talks and the next series of
PechaKucha Nights—always full of surprises, and a great way to get to know
the creative people right here in the Quad Cities!
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Figge staff, I want to thank everyone
who so generously donated to our Art is for Everyone! Annual Fund. We know
you have many demands on your charitable
resources, and we thank you for recognizing the
important role the Figge plays in creating a lively,
vibrant and educated community.

issues. Her video—Why Did the Bees Leave?—
metaphorically details the intricate relationship
between man and nature by using the Colony
Collapse Disorder that has killed millions of
bees across the country. Using live actors,
Loher creates a tiny world of man-bees that
has been videotaped and projected onto a
glass sphere. The entire installation will offer
viewers an unforgettable experience of a
world of microcosms and macrocosms that
rival the works of the great 17th century
painter, Hieronymous Bosch.
The exhibition is presented through
a generous grant from the Riverboat
Development Authority and through a multiyear grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services administered by the Eastern
Iowa Community College District.

Swiss video artist Katja Loher combines
performance art, music and dance to create
dynamic installations that question the
balance between humans, nature and technology. Instead of using the conventional
monitor or wall projection, she projects
her videos onto the surfaces of shiny orbs
hanging in the gallery space and from within
glass bubbles mounted on walls. For the
Figge, Loher will create a site-specific “interplanetary” installation that incorporates
elements from new and existing works,
which will come together for the first time.
Visitors will enter a darkened gallery space
to experience a magical universe consisting
of weather balloons of varying sizes, whose
rounded forms serve as sites for video
projections. Filmed from a high vantage
point, these videos will offer museum
patrons a chance to peer into a series of
mini or micro-worlds in which androgynous,
costumed dancers form letters that compose
words and sentences to pose simple, thoughtprovoking questions. In other sequences,
dancers take the shape of floral arrangements
or recreate the inner workings of a timepiece.
Loher’s dramatic installation creates
dreamlike, immersive environments for the
visitor. Each tiny “universe” in the exhibition
provides an elaborate commentary on big

February 15–May 25, 2014
Ingalena Klenell and Beth Lipman
O
n loan to the Figge from the
Museum of Glass in Tacoma,
Washington, Landscape is a floorto-ceiling curtain of sculpted and fused clear
glass, originally the centerpiece of a three-part
installation entitled Glimmering Gone.
The exhibition is a collaboration between
Ingalena Klenell of Sweden and Beth Lipman of
Wisconsin. The pair met at a gathering of glass
artists in Italy and, realizing that their work
shared many common threads, conducted
a joint residency at the Museum of Glass in
2010. There, the two artists were inspired by
Abby Williams Hill (1861-1943), a painter
from Tacoma, who painted grand American
landscapes in the tradition of Albert Bierstadt.
Landscape seeks to recreate the sense of
wonder found in Hill’s paintings, as well as
the ambition of an independent woman artist
and mother who trekked across the United
States—often to Yosemite, Yellowstone and
other national parks—recording its natural
wonders. Using transparent glass for their
installation, Lipman and Klenell emphasize
the romanticism inherent in 19th century
landscapes, as well as the fragility of nature
as we understand it today. Their use of glass
as a “painting” material bears comparison
to the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, while
the misty landscape can resemble a Chinese
brush painting, or a Midwestern scene on a
winter day.
Landscape combines artistic elements
for which Lipman and Klenell are individually
acclaimed.
Klenell—who spent her childhood years in
the harbor town of Kristinehamn, Sweden, and
at her grandparents’ farm near the Norwegian
border—received her master’s degree in
environmental science and ecophilosophy.
She studied glassblowing at the famous
Swedish firm of Orrefors, but strayed from
traditional glassblowing to create elaborate,
lacy, large-scale sculptures of kiln-formed,
cut and fused glass.
Lipman, a Pennsylvania native, studied
art at the Massachusetts College of Art and
Temple University. She is well known for large
tabletop accumulations of cut and formed
glass that are inspired by 17th century Dutch
still-life paintings.
Following their joint residency at the
Museum of Glass, the two artists worked
collaboratively—even though their studios
were 4,000 miles apart—to plan and create
the elements that combine to form the
beauty of Landscape.

Roman Glass Works
Roman Glass Works explores the art of ancient Roman
glassblowing through the examination of vessels from
the collections of Augustana College and the Putnam
Museum. Western Illinois University students from the
Museum Studies Graduate Program contributed to the
exhibition layout and educational, interactive components,
all of which create a context that connects the history of glassmaking from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day.
Art History Member Class:
Ancient Roman Art and Culture
Join us for a four-week art history class that explores ancient
Roman art and culture, especially as it pertains to ancient glassmaking. Dr. Ethan Gannaway will teach the course the first four
Sundays in March from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in the John Deere Auditorium. The class is
free for members, but pre-registration is required. Contact Heather Aaronson at
[email protected] to sign up.
Dr. Gannaway is a visiting assistant professor in the History Department at St. Ambrose
University. He teaches and researches interdisciplinary topics centered on the ancient
world, using text and image to understand the past with emphasis on ancient Rome.

“Glass in Ancient Rome:
A Brief History Through Images”
Associate Professor Sinclair Bell of Northern
Illinois University will provide an overview
of the history of Roman glass in conjunction
with the Roman Glass Works exhibition in
the Lewis Gallery. Bell has excavated in
Italy and Tunisia, and worked as a curatorial
assistant at museums in Germany and
Greece. Bell’s research is broadly concerned
with Etruscan and Roman material culture and
art, especially its social history, Renaissance
reception and contemporary theorization.

Permanent Gallery Updates
As part of an ongoing effort to keep the Figge’s permanent
galleries fresh and interesting, the curatorial department has
reinstalled the museum’s collection of artwork in both the
American Regionalist and The Spirit of Haiti galleries.
The updated American Regionalist gallery has expanded
the overarching theme to focus on the so-called
“American Scene.” More of a general trend in art than
an organized movement, the term describes the work
of artists who typically rejected the abstraction of
European modernism in favor of realistic representation
and American subject matter. This includes the reassuring scenes of rural and small-town life associated with Grant Wood and Marvin Cone,
but also the work of artists like Raphael Soyer and Herman More, who documented the
experience of living in the more industrial Northeast.
A recent gift of a Haitian painting by contemporary artist Frantz Zephirin prompted the
reinstallation of the gallery devoted to Haitian art (for details on the gift, see page 7). The
gallery continues to introduce the vibrant art produced by self-taught artists from 1940
to the present, but focuses in particular on art inspired by Vodou beliefs and practices.
An integral part of Haitian culture since the early 16th century, Vodou developed from
traditional West and Central African religions brought to the island by slaves. It revolves
around supernatural beings called Iwa, who act as intermediaries between a supreme God
(Bondye) and mankind. Works of art frequently depict the Vodou deities, illustrate its
various rituals or represent other complexities of Vodou faith.
Additional changes to the permanent collection are planned this spring.
Corn Zone Returns
January 10-June 8, 2014
Michael Meilahn’s Corn Zone, a signature piece
from the Figge’s permanent collection, will be
on view from through June 8 in the ground
floor Orientation Gallery.
Upon entering, museum visitors will be
immersed in the suspended field of hand-cast
glass corn, which is enhanced by audio and
video images of cornfields and the studio
production of the exhibition.
Corn Zone was purchased by the Figge Art
Museum in 2009 through an anonymous gift
in honor of Tom Gildehaus, notable Figge patron
and past Board of Trustees president.

Kids Design Glass began as an education program at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma,
Washington. Master glass artists from the museum’s Hot Shop selected drawings of
mythical monsters by children in local schools and, with the children’s help, transformed the
drawings into glass sculptures that combine youthful imagination with the pristine beauty of
art glass. The success of the project led to a traveling exhibition of 52 glass sculptures, along
with the original drawings that inspired them.
Kids Design Glass explores the creative process, from pure imagination to advanced technical
skills. As Benjamin W. Cobb, one of the lead artists on the project, wrote in the exhibition
catalog, “For the kids, it is several minutes of creativity and fun in the studio. For the glassblowers, the program means several hours of sweating it out in the Hot Shop, staying true to
a design with unrealistic dimensions, unforgiving irregularities, and strange color combinations…
we, the glassblowers, have to let go of everything we have learned about symmetry, form,
color and perfection and embrace an artistry that colors outside the lines.”
To personalize the experience of presenting Kids Design Glass at the Figge, original Hot
Shop artist Alex Stisser will select a drawing by a young artist from the Quad Cities and
work with the lucky child to translate the drawing into a glass sculpture. The
glassmaking will occur offsite at a location yet to
be determined. Stisser
will present more
information during a
program at the museum
on March 20.

Artist’s Family Views Painting
Louise Cameron of St. Louis visited the Figge’s
1934: A New Deal for Artists exhibition to
view Racing—a painting by her late father,
Gerald Sargent Foster.
Foster lived in New York City at the time
the Public Works of Art Project began in
the early 1930s. His painting, commissioned
under the PWAP, depicts several sailboats
speeding across choppy water.
Of all the venues hosting the exhibition,
the Figge was the closest to Cameron.
“When I came into the exhibition, I knew
where [the painting] was; I spotted it out of
the corner of my eye and thought, ’I’m just
going to leave that until last,’” she said of
her experience.
Although she was impressed with
1934 as a whole, seeing her father’s
painting made the trip worthwhile.
“It really sings. It’s just so active and
dynamic,” Cameron said. “I just love that
painting.”
A Haitian Acquisition from Wayne and Susan Baker
A recent gift to the Figge’s Haitian collection,
one of the oldest of its kind in the United
States, has strengthened the collection and
prompted a reinstallation of The Spirit of
Haiti gallery.
In July 2013, Wayne and Susan Baker of
Riviera Beach, Florida, generously donated
a painting by contemporary artist Frantz
Zephirin, entitled L’apparition d’Aida Wedo,
to display in the Figge’s permanent gallery.
The couple purchased the piece in October
2003, along with several other Haitian works.
The painting’s value has only increased since a
horrific earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010.
“As we began talking about having wills
drawn up, we decided that we did not want
this painting to end up at Goodwill should
we meet an untimely end, as our relatives
would probably not know its value,” Susan
said. “I did a search for museums with Haitian
collections and, of course, the Figge popped
up. When I saw that it is connected to
Western Illinois University, I knew I had the
right place, for that is where Wayne got his
Masters in Art Education in 1976.”
L’ apparition d’Aida Wedo depicts AidaWedo, the Vodou deity of fertility and new
life. In this painting, she resembles a Hindu
goddess with multiple arms and legs that
have taken the form of birds and reptiles.
Other creatures surround her on all sides to
emphasize her life-giving role.
The new acquisition fills a gap in the
Figge’s Haitian collection, as the museum
previously did not own a piece by the
renowned artist. Zephirin’s work has been
incorporated into a number of exhibitions,
including the Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou
at the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural
History and Holy H2O at the American
Visionary Art Museum. His work also has
appeared in such publications as The New
Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal and Smithsonian Magazine.
Susan and Wayne are planning to visit in
March to view the painting in its new home.
“I wish more people would do this while
they are still alive so they can see something that has meant so much to them be
appreciated by others,” Susan said. “We are
so glad we found such a wonderful home
for our amazing painting.”

Fund. This fund is how the museum budgets
for exhibitions and programming. The more
support we gain from you—our members
and donors—the more we can do!
Now is the time to pledge your support
to the Figge. It’s simple: You can use the preaddressed, postage-paid envelope included
in this newsletter, you can contribute
online or, even better, VISIT THE MUSEUM
TODAY and make your gift in the Museum
Store. Consider a gift beyond the cost of
membership. When you give beyond your
membership, you support the community. If
you are already a member but have not yet
contributed to the Annual Fund, we ask you
to consider supporting the museum beyond
membership today.
If you wish to make a gift of stock or
some other asset, there are tax and other
advantages to consider. Call Raelene
Pullen, director of development,
at 563.345.6637 to discuss
these options. If you are unable
to contribute to the Annual
Fund but would like to
volunteer to raise support
for the museum, we
appreciate your help.
“After being members of the Figge for a few years, we are pleased
to have started contributing to the Annual Fund this year, providing
ongoing support for the various Figge educational programs. The
Figge is important to our community and offers so much.”

Spotlight: Mastering the Museum World
Five years ago, the Figge Art Museum teamed up with the College of Fine Arts and
Communication at Western Illinois University (WIU) to provide internships to students in
the Museum Studies program. After an extensive interview process, individuals interested in
pursuing careers in art museums and other art-related fields may be hired for the duration
of the school year to gain practical experience in a number of museum departments.
“It’s awesome. They get school credit, they get paid and they get on-the-job training,
so we get a great set of motivated individuals with fresh ideas,” said Heather Aaronson,
education programs coordinator.
This year’s coveted internships belong to 23-year-old Amanda Miller of Riverside,
Illinois, and 28-year-old Brian Allen of New Lenox, Illinois.
Art and Shopping in Chicago

AMANDA MILLER
Education Research Graduate Assistant
BRIAN ALLEN
Education Outreach Graduate Assistant
My interest in the arts started…while I
was a student at Augustana College. I took
an Art History class and immediately fell in
love with it. I have been captivated by art
and museums ever since.
I became fascinated with drawing at
a young age…and continue my interest
and passion for art. I chose the Museum
Studies program partly because the classes
take place within the Figge. There is nothing
like experiencing education first-hand.
I chose the Figge’s program because…
they offered a great deal of opportunities
to get my foot in the door of the museum
world. Experience is key in any field, and
this program focuses on getting the students
acquainted with every aspect of the
museum by working with local ones. Since
starting, my favorite project has been the
Día de los Múertos exhibition. I helped
make Catrinas, prepare Family Day activities
and worked on Family Day. It was a crazy
day, but I enjoyed every bit!
I admire…the Figge’s dedication to its
community members. As an outreach
facilitator, I provide an after-school program
for two Rock Island elementary schools,
where I teach an aspect of art history and
lead an art activity. I have enjoyed working
with the kids and coming up with fun ways
to get the material across. This position
fueled my interest in museum education.
My main projects at the Figge include…
updating the WIKI for the docents to use
and assisting with special education events.
My dream position would be working in the
Education Department at any art museum.
My personal, long-term art goals
include…having a healthy studio practice
and creating an artist residency for artists all
over the world to think and work. I look up
to Michelle Grabner, an artist who explores
ideas in many different ways, including
writing, curating, teaching and art-making.
Fun facts about me…Outside of the
museum, I spend a great deal of time
baking cupcakes, going to movies, shopping,
traveling and crafting.
Fun facts about me…I have been married
for five years to my wife Sarah, who is a
singer. We have a five-month-old baby boy
named Oscar.
Conference Presentations
Art Lover’s Book Club 2014
Figge’s Teen Programs Highlighted
The Figge’s repertoire of teen programs was included as part of a
three-person presentation, “Teen, Green and Budget-Lean,” at the
October 2013 Illinois Association of Museums (IAM) conference in
Peoria, Illinois.
After researching collaborative teen programming in museums,
Jeanne Schultz Angel, executive director of the Lombard Historical
Society, contacted Figge Creative Arts Coordinator Lynn GingrasTaylor to discuss the Figge’s teen programs at the IAM conference.
Gingras-Taylor shared information about the museum’s Summer Drawing Program (a collaboration with Western Illinois University), Teen Anime Day (a collaboration with the Davenport
Main Library, Books-a-Million and QC Anime-zing!) and ’tween studio classes, Art in the
Middle (a collaboration with the Figge docent program and area art instructors). When
asked why she selected the Figge’s programs, Angel said, “I was searching Google for Illinois
museums with teen-specific programming and yours looked the best.” Go Figge!
Figge Partnership Presents in Denmark
In April 2013, Director of Education Melissa Mohr presented at the
Sixth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum, which took
place at the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Mohr was part of a five-person team that presented ”Supported
Interpretation: From Theory to Practice through Team-based Exhibition
Development and Evaluation.“ Other team members included Ann
Rowson Love (Museum Studies, Western Illinois University at Figge Art
Museum), Pat Villeneuve (Department of Art Education, Florida State
University), Jessica Cruz (former WIU Museum Studies student) and Sarah Keim (former WIU
Museum Studies student). The colloquium presented multiple perspectives on implementation and evaluation practices from the Figge’s exhibition Waxing Poetic: Exploring Expression
kÉïëäÉííÉê=a~îÉåéçêíKéÇÑ===O===NMLNOLOMNP===NRWMRWPT
in Art (June 9, 2012-October 7, 2012).
The Book Club meets monthly in the Figge
Dining Room, and is open to all Figge
members. Discussion questions are available
on the Figge website.

Museum Giving
Is Membership in the
C.A. Ficke Society for You?
On my first visit to the
Figge, a bronze bust
graced the entrance to
the first floor Orientation
Gallery. It was hard not to
admire the figure’s detail
as I followed the lines of
the lapels up to the man’s
chin, and then to his eyes.
I had no idea who he was.
But—anxious to see the treasures upstairs—
I, too, walked past him as I see many others
do today.
That portrait bust, commissioned in 1925
and sculpted by Lorado Taft, represents the
likeness of Charles August Ficke.
C.A. Ficke—a local family man, attorney and
mayor—gave his entire art collection to the
City of Davenport on the condition that the city
establish an art gallery to house and maintain
the works in perpetuity.
I recently borrowed Ficke’s autobiography,
Memories of Fourscore Years, from our curator,
Dr. Rima Girnius. Ficke’s energy and excitement
radiated through the pages as he traveled and
selectively grew a collection of master works. All
the while, he intended to add to the greatness
of our community by gifting that collection to
the City of Davenport and, therefore, to us as
his beneficiaries.
Today, I keep a picture of Ficke’s bronze bust in
my office. It serves as a reminder of those who
have come before us and without whom there
would be no “treasures” upstairs to rush in to see.
During your next visit, take a moment to
behold Ficke’s bronze likeness. As you do,
consider joining the C.A. Ficke Society with
a planned gift of $1,000 or more from your
estate. Gifts may include stocks, securities, IRAs,
or making the Figge a beneficiary of a retirement
plan or other asset, and may be made as a
specific amount or percentage. Each gift benefits
the endowment of the Figge Art Museum and
will enrich the lives of those in our community
for generations to come.
