P.O . Box 1054 Puunene, Maui , Hawaii 96784
Aloha and welcome,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Art Maui'96.
This exhibition is the result of fifteen very dedicated and
talented committee chairs who have given much of themselves
over the past few months to produce this exceptional show.
This exhibition is also the result of the hard work of Maui
County artists who never cease to amaze me in their creativity.
Their willingness to present their work for judgment and
exhibition is truly a gift to all of us on Maui. I applaud them
all.
I thank Margo Berdeshevsky for her generosity in sharing
her image and poem Kaho'olawe U- Whisper for our mini
poster and catalog cover. It is a very timely and thoughtprovoking image.
And I thank you for taking the time to come to the gallery
to see Art Maui '96. After 18 years, Art Maui is still going
strong, thanks to your enthusiastic support and participation.
Sincerely,
~~

MARGO BERDESHEVSKY
On a dirty tile wall in a hallway
in Russia's Moscow a few years ago,
she found this thickly scrawled
graffiti - Soldier Of Surrealismus-.
She photographed it as a living
poem. Tile. Cracks. Grime. Words.
. .A threat. . . A promise. A
photographer, she has exhibited in
one and two man/woman shows in major art galleries
locally and internationally, often joining photos and poetry,
each reflecting upon the other. Her work has been seen
locally in shows for Hui Noeau, Lama Ho'ike, The Lagunero
Gallery, The Glassman Gallery, the Governor's offices etc.

poems titled "Kaho'olawe Hi'uwai - Clean, These Eyes -"

the museums and theaters of Western Europe, educated at
the New York School of Visual Arts, Northwestern University,
NYU, High School of Performing Arts . . . trained as an
actress, a dancer, and an artist, she has used the poetic
metaphor in image and in word, living in the Pacific islands

Art Maui Symposium 1996
Photography & New Media
An Exploration of their Impact on the Visual Arts
This interesting and informative Symposium was held on
January 20 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center classroom.
The symposium was moderated by David Ulrich,
Photographer and Director of the Pacific Imaging Center. A
spectrum of creative panelists helped stir the interest of the
participants: Artist and teacher of electronic imaging at UH
Manoa, Peter Chamberlain; Contemporary painter Sally
French; Photographer, Michael Gilbert; and Electronic Artist
and Assistant Professor of computer imaging at Kapiolani
Community College, Jan McWiliams.
Panelists explored how traditional stUdio explorations of
the visual arts are now being enhanced by new technologies
that we cannot ignore. The phenomenal growth of
photography in recent decades, the ready availability of
personal computers and the development of powerful
software programs for visual artists have given rise to new
forms of expression and new ways of thinking about the
visual arts.
The discussion introduced how new genres such as
multi-media and the integrative potential of the computer to
incorporate still images, design and illustration, video,
sound and textural narrative are changing the shape of the
visual arts. Also covered were topics such as the internet,
reproduction of artwork using digital technologies, and the
future implications of electronic art.
Participation from the audience was lively and all found
the symposium educational and informative. The
symposium was free and open to the general public.
Refreshments were served.

ART MAUl 196 JUROR
Charles Hilger
In a perfect world, a
juried exhibition meets all
expectations. Community
anticipation is high. A
record number of artists,
from seasoned veteran to
novice newcomer, submit
their most recent work. The
juror is perceived to be
knowledgeable and fair. No favoritism is evident and no
prejudice shown. The juror selects an impressive number of
artist's works. The rejected artists graciously congratulate
those artists accepted. Critical reviews are positive and the
public responds with enthusiasm. Praise for a successful
cultural event is accepted by all concerned.
Juried exhibitions are serious business and they are
loaded with enormous expectations. As an artist, I have
been accepted and rejected from my share of competitions.
Over the past twenty years, I have been asked to be a juror
on numerous occasions and as a museum director, I have
organized more than several juried exhibitions.
Philosophically, I support the single juror concept. Give
(continued on page 12)
11
ART MAUl '96 JUROR Charles Hilger
(continued from page 11)
one juror instructions and the authority to pick and choose
what work is to be included. It is my belief that to select
work by committee is to compromise the strength of the
exhibition. I consider it an honor to be asked to be the
juror for Art Maui '96. I am looking forward to the occasion
and to meeting as many artists as possible. Who Knows,
1996 may be a perfect year.
Background
My background in art began in the early '70s at the
Institute of Experimental Printmaking. It was there that I
was first introduced to the medium of handmade paper. The
idea of printmaking consumed
me and I was hooked into
the process-oriented '70s.
The next fifteen years were a non-stop whirl of studio
work, exhibitions, workshops lectures and museum
installations.
In 1984 I was invited to become director/curator of The
Art Museum of Santa Cruz County, a newly formed nonprofit art museum. I set my work aside and accepted the
position. For the past twelve years, I have had the
responsibility and pleasure of curating more than one
hundred exhibitions and developing related programs.
During my time as director, we also constructed and now
occupy a 22,000 square-foot, $8.5 million Center for Art
and History. In 1989 I was awarded the Santa Cruz County
Artist of the Year.

ART MAUl HISTORY
Seventeen years ago there were no juried art exhibitions
on MauL When there was an exhibit, show entries were
hung, judged and awarded prizes with no consideration of
qualifying criteria.
In 1979, a group of Maui artists and interested persons
joined together to form an all-volunteer organization with
the one goal of presenting a juried visual art exhibition on
the Island of MauL The group, Art MauL held its first juried
exhibition in 1979, and quickly became the most important
an
To be assured of an exhibition of exceptionally high
quality, the steering committee of Art Maui chooses
qualified jurors respected by their peers in the state.
Jurying procedures are set by the Art Maui board of
directors, insuring scrupulously fair treatment of all artwork
submitted.
To further the educational goals of Art MauL a
symposium is offered to Maui artists each year before the
show. Various topics have been discussed including:
workshops on framing, gallery procedures, marketing art,
pricing, art criticism, the jurying process, art law and this
year, photography and new media.
The seventeen previous Art Maui exhibitions have all had
their own distinct flavor. And each show has received a
tremendous response from the community.
Maui itself has undergone significant changes since the
inception of Art MauL In 1994, the magnificent Maui Arts
and Cultural Center was opened in a three-day celebration
of all the arts on MauL In 1995 Art Maui was exhibited in
its Kazuma International Gallery for the first time, after
many years at the Hui No 'eau Visual Arts Center near
Makawao.
In this eighteenth year of Art MauL the original goals of
the show remain the same: to present the highest quality of
art to the Maui community; to help the community
understand more about art; and to encourage Maui to reach
for excellence and creativity.

MauiArts & Cultural Center
WELCOMES ART MAUl '96
The Maui Arts &. Cultural Center welcomes Art Maui back to the
Kazuma International Gallery, the island's only museum quality
exhibition space .
Art Maui has grown to become one of the state's most
prestigious juried art shows and The Center is honored to
showcase a community exhibit of such high esteem.
Since opening in May 1994, the Kazuma International Gallery
has been the sight of such memorable community exhibits such
as: Tobu: Soaring to New Heights, featuring the work of three
generaton of Japanese Americans from Hawaii; Celebrating the
Artist in Us in '94 and '95, spotlighting the creativity of Maui
County students; I\eia Wai Ola, These Living Waters which allowed
us an intimate peek into the lives of local people through their
treasured objects and the Hui No'eau Student & Faculty Show
which revealed some of Maui's most interesting works. II1ustrious
international exhibits such as East European Ceramics, The
Golden Tea Room & Yoshida Prints and Extraordinary Ukuleles:
The Tsumura Collection from Japan, have also attracted
thousands of art-lovers to the gallery.
This year, in addition to Art Maui '96, the Kazuma International

Maul Arts And Cultural Center (ContInued)
Gallery will be the site of the International Shoe Box Exhibit,
featuring sculpture from around the world small enough to fit
inside a shoe box, from March 30 through April 21. Returning for
the third time the popular Celebrating the Artist in Us, a multimedia exhibit of Maui student art, will be open from April 27
through May 19, and Literature & Hawaii's Children, which is
slated for June 10 through July 7. A vintage photo exhibit
courtesy of the Maui Historical Society will also be on display this
summer.
With all of this activity it is sometimes hard to see that these
are not easy times for the arts. Yet, even as local arts groups
struggle with substantial cuts in government funding, the tenacity
and creativity of the artists themselves is alive and well. This is
evidenced by the always inspiring and sometimes provocative
works selected for Art Maui.
To the hundreds of artists, donors and volunteers who have
made Art Maui '96 possible, mahalo nui loa.

STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS
Each year, the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (Sf'CA)
organizes an Acquisition Award Selection Committee (AASC) to
visit Art Maui prior to the opening of the show. The committee is
responsible for selecting and recommending to the Sf'CA board
outstanding works of art that should be acquired for the Art in
Public Places Relocatable Collection. The AASC is comprised of
SFCA's board and staff and volunteer consultants who are
qualified visual art professionals . In 1989, the Art in State
Buildings Law was succeeded by the Work of Art Special Fund.
The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts was established
by the Hawaii State Legislature in 1965 as the official arts agency
of the State of Hawaii. In 1967, the State's role as patron of the
arts was further augmented by Act 298, the "Art-in-State-Buildings
Law".
This legislation mandated that one percent of
appropriations for the original construction of any State building
be set aside for the acquisition of works of art. Also, the funds
are used for the conservation , transportation and exhibition of
works of art.
T he Art in Public Places Program of the State Foundation
expends these funds for the purchases of completed, portable
works of art, and for the commissioning of artists for works of art
to be placed at specific locations.
Works of art acquired for the State's public art collection are
displayed in state offices and buildings throughout Hawaii. These
works of art are selected for purchase from juried exhibitions,
galleries and artists' studios by Acquisition Award Selection
Committees made up of State Foundation board members, staff
and qualified visual arts consultants.
Commissions which are major works installed as an integral
part of a structure or near a building, are awarded by the SFCA
board from a list of three artists selected by Art Advisory
Committees composed of the building's officials, architects,
clientele and residents of the nearby community.
The objectives of the Arts in Public Places Program are:
• To enhance the environmental quality of public buildings and
spaces throughout the State for the enjoyment and enrichment
of the public;
• To cultivate the public's awareness, understanding, and
appreciation of visual arts in all media, styles and techniques;
• To contribute to the development and recognition of a
professional artistic community;
• To acquire, interpret, preserve, and display works of art
expressive of the Hawaiian Islands, the multi-cultural heritages
of its people, and the various creative interests of its artists.

(Kaho'olawe II)
When I am too old to be a child you are my fath er
When I confess I have moved between the worlds,
have cried, h ave died, have walked,
to hear myoid drums, to dance in the waft of myoid trees,
have paused to remember the song of the shadows,
the chant of the wind When I confess that I know, and know no world
but the old one where you have planted tomorrow
you turn my back to yo u and stroke my brain,
tell me yo u know the blessing of the land, tell me
I t is all right , I am like that, sometimes,
I just want you to know, I just want you to know
When you are like me,
brown blue black grey father of the unearthly,
earth-king twining leaves for celebration
gathering hon esty for health,
when yo u are like me, father, I am like you,
creative, gentle as God's help
happy to h ave danced, susp icious of the future,
eager to please, shining in my difference, I, your daughter.
