PLACE
Perceptions of Space in
20th Century Photography
It is somewhat of a truism to say that the environment bears the imprint
of human thought and action. The expansive vistas of cultivated land,
the towering high-rises of large metropolitan centers and the adjacent
sprawl of suburbia demonstrate our impact on the places we inhabit. But
our relationship to place is not one-sided. Places help shape our identity
and how we exist in, engage with and think about the world. They offer
insight on our culture and society—the various hopes, dreams and
preoccupations that underlie our endeavors.
The exhibition Locating Place: Perceptions of Space in 20th Century
Photography explores the intimate connection that exists between
people and places. Spanning the entire 20th century, the diverse selection of photographs featured in the exhibition touches upon topics
ranging from the representation of interior states of mind to the impact
of human presence on the natural environment.
Josef Sudek’s mist-shrouded gardens and fragmented glimpses of
empty city streets can be interpreted as private reveries—manifestations of emotions and reactions to his beloved Prague—rather than mere
records of a geographic location. Kenneth Josephson layers pictures
within pictures to create clever but patently artificial illusions that
acknowledge the subjective nature of vision. Toshio Shibata’s portraits
of manmade structures, on the other hand, explores the conflict between
natural forces and mankind’s attempts to contain them by eliminating
spatial cues and replacing them with more abstract compositions dominated by patterns and textures.
The 55-plus photographs in the exhibition are from the Figge’s
collection of photographs, loans from the University of Iowa Museum
of Art and a private collection. Many of the works from the Figge
collection are recent gifts and have never been viewed by the public.
Included are a large number of photographs from the Sikkema
Collection established in 2007 by a donation of 84 photographs by
Brent Sikkema of Sikkema, Jenkins and Co. Since then, two additional
gifts of 70 works have supplemented the collection. These generous
donations have greatly enhanced the museum’s photography holdings
and allowed the Figge to feature more photography in its exhibitions.

May 12–August 19, 2012
Visions of Iowa
David Plowden’s Photographs
D
uring his 50-year career, David Plowden sought to capture
the once commonplace but now rapidly vanishing scenes
of small-town and rural America. Visions of Iowa: David
Plowden’s Photographs showcases Plowden’s photographs of local
Iowans and communities during a 20-year period.
Opening on May 12, Visions of Iowa is a collaboration between
Humanities Iowa, the Figge and other institutions. Accompanied
by an exhibition catalogue with an essay by Figge Associate
Curator Rima Girnius, the exhibition will travel to other locations
in Iowa—the Dubuque Art Museum, The Sioux City Lewis & Clark
Interpretive Center and The Betty Strong Encounter Center, Iowa
History Center at Simpson College, and the Indianola and Blanden
Memorial Art Museum in Fort Dodge.
Comparable to the photographers of the Works Progress
Administration of the New Deal era, Plowden’s photographs are a
window in time. His photographs often focus on the slow decline
of aging industries and communities at a particular moment.
In his photograph Van’s Clothing, Victor, Iowa (1986), the storefront evokes a sense of nostalgia. The recessed, glass door displaying
the gloves on a string draw the eye to the strong contrast of light
and dark. Yet this place is not set in the distant past. Details like the
replaced door handle suggest modernity. The reflection of the brick
storefront opposite Van’s Clothing in Victor foreshadows the clothing
store’s own fate—empty and closed.
Unlike Van’s Clothing, the photograph Grain Elevators, Manson,
Iowa (above right), implies prosperity instead of slow decline
in rural America. The agricultural industry behemoths in Grain
Elevators become “indigenous skyscrapers.” The large, industrial
buildings are the tent poles of local Midwestern towns and farming
communities. Without them, a surrounding community inevitably
would decline. Here the stark white buildings showcase the latest
technological advancements in agricultural production and transportation against an overcast sky. Old industries, farming and the
railroad continue to support and define rural life.
In Visions of Iowa, Plowden’s photographs entice the viewer
to get a “sense of” what life was, or still is, like in rural Iowa. He
does not define Iowa or its inhabitants for his audience; instead,
Plowden’s photographs rely on the viewer’s interpretation.
Written by Sarah E. Keim, Figge curatorial intern.

In 1986, the Figge acquired its first work by David Plowden.
His works also were included in the 2011 exhibition Tracks:
The Railroad in Photographs from the George Eastman
House Collection. When the Figge learned that Humanities
Iowa was interested in developing a show about Plowden’s
photographs of Iowa, the museum offered to collaborate on
the exhibition. Through this collaboration, Figge Associate
Curator Rima Girnius conducted numerous interviews with
Plowden. Her introduction to the exhibition in the accompanying catalogue offers an interpretation of the photos and
places them in context of his illustrious career.

NASA | ART:
50 Years of Exploration
July 14–October 7, 2012 | In celebration of its 50th anniversary in
The interactive exhibition Waxing Poetic:
Exploring Expression in Art will allow
museum guests to become a part of
the exhibition as they relate to the art
through poetry.
The exhibition pairs art from the
Figge’s permanent collection with largescale magnetic poetry, and visitors
will be encouraged to play with words
to create poetry and tag works of art
with descriptive words. Regardless of
their prior knowledge of poetry or art,
visitors will be able to participate in the
exhibition and explore the meaning and
expression in art through poetry.
2008, NASA collaborated with Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and
the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum on the exhibition NASA | ART: 50 Years of
Exploration. Drawn from the collections of NASA and the National Air and Space Museum, the
exhibition features 72 works of art commissioned by the NASA Art Program.
Established soon after the inception of the U.S. space program in 1958, the NASA Art
Program provides a unique way to communicate the accomplishments, setbacks and sheer
excitement of space exploration to the public. The selected works span the entire history
of NASA and include paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and other media by such
artists as Annie Leibovitz, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Norman Rockwell, Andy
Warhol, William Wegman and Jamie Wyeth.
NASA | ART: 50 Years of Exploration was organized by the Smithsonian Institution
Traveling Exhibition Service and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in
cooperation with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
The Figge would like to recognize the ALCOA Foundation for its generous support.
Mark your calendars for the NASA Family Workshop at the Figge on Saturday, August 4!
The Figge education staff worked
with the curatorial staff, the Midwest
Writing Center and Dr. Pat Villeneuve,
professor from Florida State University,
to develop this unique exhibition. This
exhibition’s approach is based on a model
that Dr. Villeneuve has developed for
visitor-centered exhibitions. In her
model, Dr. Villeneuve looks for ways to
connect art and museum visitors in a
meaningful way.
Look for programs on the Figge website to be offered in conjunction with the
exhibition this summer.

Figge Receives the Gift of Art
Last November, the Figge Art Museum
received a generous donation of English
18th- and 19th-century works on paper
from Stuart and Beverly Denenberg of West
Hollywood, California.
The gift of 35 works includes a number of
notable figures in English book illustration; the
works will be on display beginning March 17
in the Linda and Randolph Lewis Gallery.
Stuart Denenberg has worked as an art
dealer for more than 47 years, and his wife
Beverly was the chief curator at the State
Historical Society of California. As strong
museum advocates and supporters, the
Denenbergs have been distributing their
collection to museums around the country.
They selected the Figge as a home for some
of their prints.
Technological advances in mechanical
reproductions toward the end of the 18th
century saw an increase in the production
of illustrated books. Such notable figures as
Hablot Knight Browne (1815-1882), Joseph
Clayton Clarke (1856-1937) and Charles
Edmund Brock (1870-1938) illustrated the
works of authors like George Eliot, William
Thackery and Charles Dickens.
As you will see, their renditions of caricatured social types and evocative representations of scenes within the novels brought to
life the books and became instrumental to
their success.
Children’s Book Illustrations from
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
Through April 22, 2012 | Dive into a watercolor world where “fish is fish.” Join a little turtle
on a big adventure. Head into the woods with John James Audubon. Or come face-to-face with
a beautiful blackbird. Populated by an array of dazzling animals both real and imaginary, Fins and
Feathers: Children’s Book Illustrations from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art introduces
viewers of all ages to memorable creatures from children’s literature. Book illustrations, sometimes
overlooked as a form of artistic expression, often are a child’s first aesthetic experience. These
lush, creative and colorful pictures may inspire a child to read and may foster a lasting love of art.
The fanciful illustrations in Fins and Feathers are drawn from the collection of The Eric
Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts. Established by artist and
author Eric Carle in 2002, the museum is the first full-scale museum of its kind in America,
devoted exclusively to original picture book art from American and international illustrators.
Fins and Feathers is an exhibition geared toward the young and the young at heart.
A portion of the proceeds from this exhibition will benefit the Genesis BirthCenter. The Genesis
BirthCenter offers a continuum of services for expectant parents before, during and after delivery.

War and Remembrance
Through April 15, 2012 | The Figge Art Museum’s current exhibition War and
Remembrance: Erwin Eisch’s Night of the Crystal Death Portfolio is offered in conjunction
with the Britten Peace Project: Quad Cities. Inspired by the massive production of
Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem by the Quad City Symphony Orchestra, organizations
around the Quad Cities are hosting projects intended to elucidate the experience, expand
upon the context of the War Requiem and connect the many tragic experiences of the
20th century to our own ongoing global conflicts.
War and Remembrance features a selection of works, including Night of the Crystal
Death by Erwin Eisch on loan to the Figge from the Jewish Federation of the Quad
Cities. Commissioned by the American Interfaith Institute in 1992, Night of the Crystal
Death is Eisch’s response to Kristallnacht.
Kristallnacht, or “crystal night” translated, began in earnest on the evening of
November 9 and lasted into the day of November 10 in 1938. The spontaneous
pogroms against the German-Jewish population led to the destruction of thousands of
businesses, homes and synagogues throughout Germany. Scholars today consider this
event as the culmination of the burgeoning Nazi propaganda of anti-Semitism and the
spark for the systematic genocide of a people.
Works on loan from the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities.
This exhibition was curated by Sarah E. Keim, Figge curatorial intern.

College Invitational
Figge Focus on Tyler Sharpe
The College Invitational is one of the Figge’s successful partnerships
with area colleges. If you viewed the exhibition, you no doubt
remember the hilarious book Fanny: A Tribute to the Fanny Pack.
The book was written and illustrated by Tyler Sharpe, a senior at
Western Illinois University.
Terry Rathje, a graphic design professor at Western Illinois University
(WIU), was teaching a class about using visuals to make information
interesting, fun and useful. Tyler Sharpe, a WIU art student, had a
subconscious interest in the social status of the fanny pack. In 2010,
Sharpe took Rathje’s class, resulting in the hilarious book Fanny: A
Tribute to the Fanny Pack, which was featured in the 2011 College
Invitational exhibition at the Figge.
In his Infographics course, Rathje assigns his students two projects.
For the first project, students have to take an interesting and challenging idea and create a piece of work that is visually enticing and useful.
The second project requires students to make a book using an online
book publisher. For Sharpe, the first project spilled over into the second
assignment. Taking the elements of society, pop culture, humor and
history from the first Infographics project, he delved further into the
topic of the fanny pack to uncover (or create) enough information to
fill more than a hundred pages in a laugh-out-loud book.
Sharpe started with the basics in exploring the history of the fanny
pack. Why was it used? Who invented it? When you ask Sharpe how far
Tyler Sharpe and Terry Rathje
back one can trace the practical use of a waist sack, his answer is the
infamous Biblical story of David and Goliath. “He may not have called it a
fanny pack, but we know where David stored his stones,” Sharpe says.
From there the book takes off, exploring the avenues of storage,
practical use, evolution, social uses and Hollywood film cameos. The
book is rich with fabrication, as the fanny pack is used to comment on
the personalities of notable figures in society. Reflecting on Sharpe’s
final project, Rathje says, “Fanny is a seriously funny commentary on
modern life, centered on a piece of personal luggage, that cuts across
gender, class and time. His writing and drawing style fit together nicely;
watching the ideas develop was almost as fun as reading the book.”
Supporting our young artists
The Figge has a long history of supporting and promoting
student artists from the Quad-Cities area. The annual
College Invitational is just one of many shows held each year
at the Figge that showcases the talents of aspiring artists
in our local schools. Visit the museum through May 27 and
see the wildly popular elementary school exhibition, Young
Artists at the Figge.
If you know a student who is interested in the arts, visit the
Figge website to learn more about the studio programs offered
this summer for students. One-day camps are available for
students in first through eighth grade, and high school
students are encouraged to enroll in our adult studio classes.
Mark your calendars! March 30 is the deadline for applications to the Summer
Drawing Program, a two-week course for high school students offered in partnership
with the Western Illinois University Department of Art and the College of Fine Arts and
Communication. This program is sponsored by Butler Insurance.

Behind the Scenes:
Young Artists at the Figge
This spring, more than 600 elementary students from Bettendorf, Davenport, Geneseo,
Moline, Muscatine, North Scott and Pleasant Valley will display their work in a real art
museum—the Figge. Additionally, more than 2,000 family members will accompany
these talented students to the museum, many for the first time, for one of the seven
recognition ceremonies. While these statistics are impressive, they don’t tell the whole
story behind this successful museum-school partnership.
This annual program begins in late spring when Figge museum educators and district art
educators meet to schedule the next year’s exhibition and
reception dates. This planning meeting also allows the
participants to discuss how the program went the past
year and make any adjustments for the coming year.
In early fall, students begin working on projects that
will be displayed at the Figge. Teachers may submit any
type of two-dimensional art for the exhibition, but each
work must list the “great artist” who inspired it. Well-known
artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Grant Wood and Andy
Warhol are some of the popular artists that serve as inspiration for projects, but many teachers choose lesser known
artists to introduce students to different artistic visions.
Depending on when their district’s exhibition is
scheduled, teachers meet to “curate” the exhibition. The
curatorial process involves selecting the best 76 pieces
that will represent the district’s visual arts program. The
teachers also must determine the layout of the exhibition,
using the standard exhibition layout created by the Figge.
Framing each exhibition takes about three days. This
semester, Western Illinois University Museum Studies
Program graduate students Catherina Mueller and Amy
Herzel will frame the seven exhibitions, while Creative Arts
Coordinator Lynn Gingras-Taylor supervises the process.
The interns also will prepare labels for each student’s work.
Mueller is completing a graduate assistantship in the Figge
Education Department this academic year.
After the exhibition has been hung, a recognition
ceremony for students is held. Art teachers have the
opportunity to talk about their district’s program, and
each student is given a certificate of achievement. Following the formal program, students
and their families enjoy refreshments in the museum’s lobby and have the opportunity to
view all of the museum exhibitions or spend time in the Figge’s three activity spaces.
The Figge also relies on its faithful volunteer base for visitor assistance on these busy
days, when attendance is more than 300. Volunteers greet families, track attendance and
serve refreshments.
Young Artists at the Figge exhibitions continue through May 20, 2012
Special thanks to these sponsors for their support: Bettendorf and Davenport Community
Schools, Doug and Deb Roberts, The Moline Foundation, Northwest Bank and Trust Company,
and The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine.

In memory of Figge Friend
Mary Hubbell Waterman
On June 5, 2011, the Figge Art Museum
and the Quad Cities lost a wonderful community advocate and a generous patron of
the arts. Throughout her life, Mary Hubbell
Waterman devoted her time, energy and
resources to a number of important community causes, including the Figge Art Museum.
Mary appreciated the importance of arts
and culture in the life of the community, and
she understood the critical role played by
the visual and performing arts in education.
To ensure that the community had a vibrant
visual arts presence, she regularly supported
the Figge through generous annual fund and
capital campaign gifts.
Continuing their philanthropic legacy in the
community, Mary and her husband, Larned,
created the Hubbell-Waterman Foundation
in 1967. The Foundation seeks to improve
the quality of life for the citizens of the Quad
Cities by generously supporting non-profit
organizations in the arts and culture, childhood education and social services. Through
her own personal gifts and those of the
Hubbell-Waterman Foundation, Mary and her
family generously supported the capital campaign to build the Figge Art Museum, creating
a lasting landmark in downtown Davenport
for the entire community to enjoy. In addition,
the Hubbell-Waterman Foundation’s significant annual support to the Figge provides
funding for critical education and outreach
programs and exciting exhibitions, impacting
the lives of nearly 70,000 Quad-Cities residents each year.
But Mary’s support did not stop there.
Mary remembered the Figge again by designating a portion of her estate to the Figge’s
endowment. Her generous gift will help to
ensure that the Figge Art Museum will be
here for future generations to enjoy.
You’re invited to ART@HEART,
an evening of delicious food,
beautiful music, and close
friends, all to benefit the Figge’s
education programs and exhibitions. Over drinks and appetizers,
enjoy festive displays illustrating
the Figge’s community impact and bid
on unique silent auction items. Following the
cocktail hour, enjoy a sit-down dinner with
live entertainment, captivating speakers,
and a lively auction of Figge programs. All
proceeds from the evening will directly
benefit the museum’s mission to enrich the
life of the community through art education
and engaging exhibitions.

Symphony Orchestra.

Introducing…
O
n February 25, the Figge unveiled Artica, an interactive
gallery for visitors of all ages. Artica is designed to help
visitors learn where artists find inspiration and how they
use their imagination to be creative and express their ideas.
When you visit Artica, you’ll see oversized reproductions of pieces
of art from the Figge’s collection and original works by area schoolchildren. Artica Gallery guides are available to offer tips on how to
talk about the art on the walls with children ages 3-11. Imagine and
create in Artica! Try the suggested art activities listed in the Artica
Gallery guides, or use your imagination to come up with your own
fun and interesting projects to take home.
Why the name Artica? Artica playfully references Antarctica and
the penguins at play in one of the works included in the spaces.
Artica also incorporates the word “art,” and the goal of the gallery
is to educate visitors about inspiration, imagination and expression
within art.
Installation made possible with support from the Roy J Carver Charitable Trust
