Artist Glenn Brown and Director Jeff Fleming
Exemplifying the Art Center’s continuing focus
on education and outreach, we have recently
hired three new educators to fill two newly
created positions and one current post. Maggie
Harlow Vogt is the Art Center’s new adult studio
manager. She will oversee the development of
classes for adults in our studio program. Maggie
began her duties in June. Kara Fedje fills the
newly established museum education position,
which will focus on developing programs and
activities for children and families. We also hired
a new outreach coordinator, Rachael Jackson,
who has a unique story. Her interest in art
blossomed as a scholarship student at the
Art Center, becoming a classroom monitor in
the studios where a teacher mentored her and
encouraged her to focus on attending college.
Upon graduation, Rachael worked at the
Art Center as a classroom instructor. Now, she
will lead one of the Art Center’s most significant
endeavors. Each one of these new hires adds
deep knowledge to their respective roles and
will enhance the Art Center’s ongoing efforts
to make the best of the art of our time available
to diverse audiences.
Fall classes are now open for enrollment.
Please join us for unexpected hands-on
adventures.
Jeff Fleming
What drew you to the Des Moines
Art Center and why is it important
to you?
The Des Moines Art Center has an important
place in our thriving community because
simply put, it allows everyone the opportunity
to experience art. It doesn’t matter where you
live, what you do, what your background is,
old to art, new to art, if you enjoy art you are
welcome. Very few cities can boast that their
art museum is free and open to all, which
makes the Des Moines Art Center all the
more entirely unexpected.
Why did you join?
My membership with the Des Moines
Art Center has provided me opportunities to
experience art that I had never experienced.
My favorite experiences are fun gallery tours
like ‘Not Your Grandma’s Gallery Talk + Wine
Tasting’ with Art Noir or Members’ Previews
where Art Center members have a special
opportunity to view new exhibitions. Those
opportunities along with so many others such
as those offered by Salon 4700 often fill my
calendar. Besides the distinctive events that
as a member I’m invited to, I realize that to
keep the Des Moines Art Center free and
welcoming to all takes community support.
When I renew my membership, I realize I’m
doing my part to support something special
that really can only be found in Des Moines.
Do you have any favorite works of
art from the collection?
The whole Pappajohn Sculpture Park is
a favorite with its unmatched openness,
richness, and talent. It is a gathering place
for residents to take in its beauty.

After lunch at one of Iowa City’s trending
restaurants we’ll take a self-guided tour
of works on paper in a most unusual
place—through the halls of the University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. The hospital’s
extensive collection, curated by Project Art,
includes works by Alexander Calder,
Jim Dine, Sol LeWitt, and many Iowa artists
including the Art Center’s Curator of Prints
and Drawings Amy N. Worthen.

NEW exhibition
Vivian Maier Through a Critical Lens
September 17, 2016 – January 22, 2017 / Anna K. Meredith Gallery
MEMBERS’ PREVIEW
Friday, September 16 / 5 – 7 pm
In appreciation of member support, we are
hosting exhibition previews for members
on Friday of opening week. The exhibition
opens to the public the following day.
Music / cash bar
Complimentary hors d’oeuvres
*RSVP (see page 3)
This exhibition features 70 photographs
(50 black-and-white and 20 color prints) of
people encountered on the streets of New York
City and Chicago by the late photographer
Vivian Maier (1926 – 2009). Maier’s photographs,
created between the late 1940s and the early
1980s, were kept completely private by the artist
and caused a stir when they were first exhibited
at the Chicago Cultural Center in 2011. Elusive,
solitary, and clearly talented, Vivian Maier is the
quintessential “undiscovered” artist of our time. The still unfolding narrative of who Vivian Maier
was as well as the story about how the works
were discovered—at a storage facility auction—
continue to dominate the discussions about
Maier’s work. In fact, with the exception of a short
article by art historian Abigail Solomon-Godeau
commissioned by the Jeu de Paume, there have
not yet been any systematic investigations of
Maier’s archive resulting in vetted scholarship.
As a result, there are still many questions to be
raised and discussions to be had about Maier’s
photographs. While presenting Maier’s striking
and popular works, the Art Center will pose
questions and facilitate discussions about her
photography, and in so doing introduce the
considerations that are made about newly
found art works that result in the acceptance—or
not—into the history of art. The Art Center has
also invited the distinguished art historian
John Tagg, one of the most recognized figures
in photographic theory, to speculate about
Maier’s work in light of his scholarship, which he
will share in a lecture in October.
4 art center news July August September 2016
Compelling issues we will discuss
regarding Maier’s work include:
 More than 200,000 negatives of Vivian Maier’s
work exist but so far only a fraction of the
works have been made public. A decision was
made to focus on the photographs Maier made
on the street—thereby labeling her a “street
photographer.” What are the benefits and
drawbacks of categorizing Maier’s work right now?

With a handful of exceptions, very few women
photographers have taken pictures on the street.
Vivian Maier could be added to this short list that
includes Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, and Lisette
Model among others. Why do so few women
photographers work on the street? And in light of
her gender, what does Maier’s work contribute to
discussions about photographs of the street?
 Compared to the number of negatives Maier
produced, very few vintage prints exist. The
prints on view in this exhibition were chosen and
produced in the last five years by John Maloof, one
of the people who discovered her work. Therefore,
we don’t know if the images Maloof chose to print
are those the artist herself would have selected.
How does this affect the way that we consider
Maier’s work?
 Maier was a very private person who, as far
as anyone can determine at this point, never
intended to publicly exhibit her work. From an
ethical standpoint, is it right to refute her wishes
and exhibit the work anyway? If so, why?

Finding Vivian Maier, 2013
Directors: John Maloof and Charlie Siskel
83 minutes / Not rated
“Remarkable. Fascinating.
Slowly unravels the
secrets of Maier’s very
private persona
with the aplomb of a
great mystery.”
Utne Reader on Finding Vivian Maier
Finding Vivian Maier is an
intriguing documentary that
shuttles from New York to
France to Chicago as it
traces the life story of the
late Vivian Maier. Following
the film, Ann Marks will
deliver a brief illustrated
talk that fills in some of the
gaps in Maier’s biography
and answer questions from the audience.
Ann Marks is a retired New York business
executive with a passion for research and mysteries.
After viewing the film she was inspired to unlock the
mystery of Maier’s background and family history.
Her findings have informed a deeper understanding
of the photographer and even greater appreciation
for Maier’s artistry. Marks continues to collaborate
with John Maloof, Jeff Goldstein, and Stephen
Bulger, the curators and owners of the vast majority
of Maier’s work, to extract new biographical
information from the archive’s images. Stepping back to set the
street photographs of
Vivian Maier in a larger
context, John Tagg
examines the long and
varied history of the camera
and the street and the
complicated issues of
performance and pleasure,
property and privacy,
power and the public
domain this history raises.
Born in the North-East of England and
trained at the Royal College of Art in London,
John Tagg writes on forms of photographic
practice not previously considered part of the
history of photography, including police and prison
photography, social surveillance, urban records
and other archival systems in which the
photograph is made to serve as a document.
From here, his interests have extended to the ways
we construct histories of cultural technologies
and visual regimes, and to the theoretical debates
that have transformed the history of art and
photography since the 1970s. Author of The
Burden of Representation; The Disciplinary Frame;
and other books, Tagg lives and works in Upstate
New York.

NEW exhibition
Whose Streets?
August 19, 2016 – January 15, 2017 / Blank One Gallery
One of the most common subjects depicted in Western painting in the late
19th- to mid-20th centuries was the city. Starting with the Impressionists,
the city was the ultimate symbol of Modernism—a phenomenon that thrilled,
excited, troubled, and dismayed the people of its time. The representation
of the city is even more intrinsic to photography, invented as it was in 1839
at the dawn of Modernism. Eugene Atget’s systematic recording of the
old, disappearing sections of Paris at the turn of the last century; Berenice
Abbott’s similarly exhaustive portrait of New York City in the 1930s; and
Garry Winogrand’s iconic “snapshot” photography capturing the dynamics of
life in New York in the 1960s and 1970s are just a few examples. Featuring
works from the Art Center’s permanent collections, this exhibition will explore
the ways that painting and photography not only captured the novelty of
Modernism but also addressed the politics of class, race, and gender as it
was played out on the city streets.

Glenn Brown
Through August 21, 2016
anna K. Meredith Gallery
Figures, animals, flowers, grotesque appendages,
and surreal spacecraft inhabit seemingly desolate
atmospheres in Glenn Brown’s works. Steeped in
Western pictorial traditions, he derives his images
from the history of art, which include the familiar
formats of still life, portraiture, and landscape.
The reproductions of paintings in art history
books, magazines, and the Internet are the origins
of Brown’s imagery. He reaches back into art
history, playing with our ideas of what art is, while
simultaneously looking to the future.
Brown’s artworks become representations of
representations as he stitches together elements of
the past to breathe new life into old practices.

Through August 14, 2016
Blank One Gallery
The Des Moines Art Center is home to Natural
History Part I, Mushrooms (1974) and Natural
History Part II, Some Trees of Italy (1976), two print
portfolios by Cy Twombly (1928 –2011). In these
series, the artist explores the relationship between the
material world, primarily nature; the ways that nature
has been categorized in the recent past; and finally,
the way that vision is perhaps more highly regarded
than the other senses in western society today.
This exhibition was organized by Senior Curator
Alison Ferris, and Megan Cohen, assistant registrar/
curatorial assistant.
Iowa Artists 2016 goes outside the museum
into unexpected places in our community.
Throughout May, Alex Braidwood installed
devices of his own invention to collect ambient
sound in various urban locations. The project,
titled Listen Right Here, makes us aware of
the noise that surrounds us, encouraging us
to notice a sensory experience often ignored.
The collected data was turned into a 6-channel
electronic composition, which can
be experienced in the lower Meier galleries.
Jordan Weber’s sculpture and installations
are also on view in lower Meier, as well as the
sunken courtyard on the north side of the Meier
wing.This project, which presents themes of
labor, current economic and social issues, and
the place of art in our lives, also includes an
off-site abandoned house (visible from
Keo Way, on the north edge of downtown
Des Moines) modified by the artist in a manner
inspired by the architecture of the Art Center.
Weber’s exhibition, called Body Snatchers, ties
divergent locations together in surprising ways,

RECENT ACCESSIONS
to THE COLLECTIONS
The Board of Trustees of the Des Moines Art Center has
approved the purchase of an extraordinary work of art,
Light Blonde, 1996, by the internationally acclaimed artist
Marlene Dumas, with funds from the Coffin Fine Arts
Trust and Edmundson Art Foundation. Born in Cape Town,
South Africa, Dumas is one of the most significant painters
working today. Her work is most often figurative, focusing
on issues of gender, politics, and identity. As this signature
work exemplifies, Dumas’ images can be somewhat
confrontational and jarring, but they are always compelling.
Dumas has exhibited worldwide. In 2014, the Stedelijk
Museum in Amsterdam presented a major retrospective
that traveled to Tate Modern, London, and the Fondation
Beyeler, Basel. The Museum of Contemporary Art,
Los Angeles organized an exhibition in 2008 in conjunction
with the Museum of Modern Art, New York which toured to
the Menil Collection, Houston. Many major museums hold
her work including the Centre Pompidou in Paris; LA County
Museum of Art; Tate Gallery, London; and the Museum of
Modern Art, New York. This is the first work by the artist to
enter the collections.
The Print Club has given Alice Aycock’s screenprint,
Miraculating Machine: Mock Suns and Halos “Round the
Moon”, 1992. Internationally acclaimed for her monumental
sculptures inspired by engineering and machines, Aycock’s
drawings and prints adopt the style of mechanical drawing.
With its trussed structures, springs, pulleys, ropes, and
the grand gesture of a blue spiral, Aycock’s screenprint
is an exploded diagram for the parts of her “miraculating
machine” and relates to her proposal for her sculpture, The
Miraculating Machine in the Garden (Tower of the Winds),
1981 (Douglass College, New Brunswick, New Jersey). In
2012, she won the Des Moines Public Art Foundation’s
competition for redesign of the Sixth Avenue Bridge over the
Des Moines River. This is the first work by the artist to enter
the collections.
In honor of the upcoming retirement of Curator of Prints
and Drawings, Amy N. Worthen, funds were donated by her
friends, Print Club members, board, and staff to purchase
Sandro Chia’s Sator Arepo painting on paper from
2014. This is the first work by Chia to enter the museum’s
collections. Collected and exhibited at major museums
around the world, Chia was an important member of Italy’s
Transavantgardia movement. Alongside artists such as
Francesco Clemente and Enzo Cucchi, this group returned
emphasis to painting and the emotionally expressive
presentation of the figure.
In the images of Belgian Surrealist painter René
Magritte, well-dressed businessmen move through an
enigmatic world in which strange things happen—and
yet all seems as it should be. A prolific painter, Magritte
embarked on a short burst of printmaking activity a few
years before his death, making a few prints drawn with
his own hand. In this recently acquired rare etching by
Magritte, Paysage de Baucis (Baucis’s Landscape), 1966,
the eyes, nose, and mouth of a man hover in the space
between his fedora and his suit and tie. The etching is the
first work by Magritte to enter the collections.
With a recent gift of four lithographs, Nancy Itani
has strengthened the Art Center’s holdings of works by
Alexander Calder (Untitled Stablile, from “Derriere le
Miroir,” 1966); Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Sagesse,
1893); and James Abbott McNeill Whistler (The Smith’s
Yard, 1895; and The Tyresmith, 1890).

BEG, BORROW OR STEAL:
APPROPRIATION IN VIDEO ART WORKSHOP
Orr Menirom, the inaugural Toni and Tim Urban
International Artist-in-Residence, conceived of
and led a week-long workshop for teens during
spring break 2016. Prior to Menirom’s residency,
Art Center faculty Ramona Muse Lambert taught
participants several fundamental video techniques.
Muse Lambert also assisted daily in the workshop.
The goal of the workshop was to analyze,
understand, and practice the use of borrowed
footage in video art. This was accomplished
through viewing and discussing exemplary work
and also through hands-on practice. Students Anna Clowser, Greer Coffman,
Catherine Lewin, and William Monroe
each successfully edited their own individual video
out of collaborative footage, citing inspiration
from nature and feminism, humor and chance,
childhood, and Native American culture.

NEW GAS KILN FOR CERAMICS
In memory of Christina Wijkman Glickman, a
new 16-cubic foot Alpine gas kiln was donated
to the Des Moines Art Center by her family.
Christina was the daughter of Ruth Wijkman and
Per G. Wijkman. She first took ceramics at the
Art Center in the 1950s and continued classes
at her high school. In later years, she returned
to ceramics as a form of creative expression.
Her home and garden were populated with her
sculptures. Christina’s love of ceramics developed
as a result of her experience in the Art Center’s
studios; this gift will ensure that many others will
have this same opportunity.
See page 15 for giving opportunities.

OUTREACH HIGHLIGHTS
CHILDREN & FAMILIES OF IOWA
Our Journey Through the Arts exhibition and
performance were presented by five girls from
the Des Moines Public School’s District Wide
Program, a collaboration between the Des Moines
Art Center and Des Moines Community Playhouse.
The exhibition was a culmination of the work they
completed throughout the school year under
the direction of Outreach Coordinator Rachael
Jackson. Under the direction of Susanna Douthit
from the Playhouse, the girls wrote and performed
improv skits for their family and friends. The skits
touched on topics of teen pregnancy and therapy,
while their art projects focused on self-identify
and beauty standards.
DES MOINES ALTERNATIVE
The Des Moines Alternative group worked on a
door design for the Take Back the Night event
in April that promotes safe communities and
respectful relationships through awareness. The
door the girls designed represents trauma on
one side, resiliency on the other. The door, now
permanently displayed at the Young Women’s
MUSEUM EDUCATION
Resource Center, shows depictions of
drug and gun violence as well as hope and
resiliency. The students showed intense
passion as they conversed with each other
over the topic of drug use, which many of
them have witnessed first-hand. This project
allowed them the opportunity to express
themselves in a safe environment.
PACE GIRLS GROUP
This spring, teen girls from the Girl’s Group at
Pace Juvenile Center had the opportunity
to move their class to the studios. Each girl,
accompanied by their social worker, visited
the Art Center to engage with the permanent
collections and find inspiration to create a
related project. This program is designed to
help build and nurture healthy relationships
with positive adults in their lives. Each pair
was asked to choose their favorite piece of
art and be photographed next to the work.
Later the girls were asked to create three
fashion pieces based on inspiration they found
in the museum.
PACE Girl’s Group participants work on a project in the Art Center studios.

Yoga + Gallery Dialogue
(offered the second Saturday of each month)
July 9 / August 13 / September 10 / October 8
Lecture
Ways of Looking: How to Experience and Enjoy Contemporary Art
Ossian Ward, writer, critic, and Head of Content, Lisson Gallery, London
8:45 am / Yoga with Ben Spellman (60 minutes)
Thursday, August 11 / 7 pm / Levitt Auditorium / *Reservations required (see page 3)
10 am / Gallery dialogue with Art Center staff or
docent (20 minutes)
During this lecture, Ossian Ward will introduce his method to aid
the experience and understanding of the most challenging kinds
of work from installation to video and performance. Through a
formula created for his book, “Ways of Looking,” Ward gives you
everything you need to know about contemporary art without having
to know anything about contemporary art. This failsafe set of tools
is aimed at even the most skeptical viewers. How should you
respond to Martin Creed’s The Lights Going On and Off? How long
do you spend watching Christian Marclay’s 24-hour video work,
The Clock? What does it mean to encounter dance or live
performance in a gallery setting? Can conceptual art be beautiful?
Who do you trust, the mind of the artist, the pen of the critic, or
the eye of the beholder? Works from the Art Center’s permanent
collections will be included in the lecture.
*Reservations required and open approximately
one month prior to the next program. (see page 3)
Join Ben Spellman for a yoga practice that
emphasizes dismissing judgment, breaking down
barriers, and producing positive energy. Extend
these virtues and stay for a brief foray in
the museum where we’ll practice the art of looking
and learn to share our observations, thoughts,
and questions.
A Taste of Docent Training
Thursdays, July 14 & 21 / 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Jon Oakland, docent advisor and Jill Featherstone,
director of education
FREE / Limited to 16 students
*Registration required (see page 3)
When visiting museums, the instinct of many adults
is to look at every source of information except
the actual artwork, in order to “learn something
about the art.” This two-week class is comprised
of gallery activities that strip away biographical and
historical information and instead focuses on what
we actually see before us. Active observation and
group dialogue provide the foundation of these
sessions. This workshop is designed for Art Center
members who have not served as docents.
Art Spectrums
(offered the third Sunday of each month)
July 17 / August 21 / September 18
October 16
1:30 – 3 pm
*Reservations required and open approximately
one month prior to the next program. (see page 3)
Art Spectrums is a free art program for children
ages 5–12 with autism and their families.
Families visit a work of art in the museum and
individual projects inspired by the museum visit
follow in the studio.
Baby & Me drop-in tours

Adults are encouraged to bring their infants
(pre-walkers) to an informal tour led by an

for adults, babies love the visual stimulation of
the artwork. (Note: Strollers and front-carrying
baby carriers are permitted.)

Judith and Marshall Flapan
should have been listed in the

The 2016 Des Moines Art Center gala, built, will be a celebration of the
incredible architecture of our community, including our own extraordinary
facility designed by world-class architects Eliel Saarinen, I. M. Pei, and Richard
Meier. The gala will be held in the American Enterprise Group Building, the only

when it was constructed in 1965 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and the second
when it was renovated by BNIM in 2015.
In addition to highlighting great design in Des Moines, the evening will include
fine cuisine by Tangerine and live music by Faculty Lounge, Des Moines’ premier
ten-piece, horn-driven jazz, funk, and R & B band. In the week preceding the
gala, the Art Center will present an architecture tour of both private homes and
public spaces around the city.
