"A Matter of Taste: Ceramics and Culinary Connections"

The Museum has just launched a new guided tour called "A Matter of Taste:
Ceramics and Culinary Connections." Book clubs, seniors, community groups,
cooking classes, history buffs, artists' organizations (especially
ceramicists), and foodies welcome! Suitable for adults in groups of eight to
thirty, the program explores the links between our exceptional collection of
15th-19th century European ceramics in the Koerner Ceramics Gallery and the
foods upon which they would have been served. A tour of the gallery and a
sampling of old-world foods are included. "A Matter of Taste" is available
by calling 604.822.4643 or emailing bookings@moa.ubc.ca. The cost is $10 per
person (fee includes admission to all Museum galleries). 

NOTE: Due to popular demand, MOA is pleased to offer this tour at 1:00 pm on
Sunday, November 25, for people who wish to sign up as individuals, rather
than as part of a group. Space is limited to thirty, so sign up now! Call
604.822.4643 or email bookings@moa.ubc.ca

Kashmir: Art from a "Troubled" Paradise

Tuesday, December 4, 2007, 7:00 pm

Speaker: Dr. Pratapaditya Pal 

Pashmina shawls may be the best-known products of Kashmir, but for more than
2000 years, generations of Kashmiris have created other forms of art as
well. This lecture provides an overview of the interaction of the Hindus,
Buddhists, and Muslims as reflected in the arts and architecture of this now
"troubled" paradise. Dr. Pratapaditya Pal is an authority on the arts of the
Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas. Recently, he organized the first
exhibition devoted to the arts of Kashmir, which is now being shown at the
Asia Society, New York.

EXHIBITIONS

Seeing is Believing: Photographs from the Archives

October 1 - December 31, 2007, Gallery 10

There are more than 90,000 historic photographs in the Archives at the
Museum of Anthropology. The collection is worldwide, covers a multitude of
subjects, and dates from the early 1900s to the present day. This exhibit
reveals only a tiny portion of this hidden gem, yet hints at the remarkable
potential of this collection for scholars, researchers, and visitors.
Geographically, the collection includes images from the Northwest Coast of
British Columbia, the Southwest United States, South America, and various
areas of Asia, Oceania and Africa. Institutionally, the collection documents
the people and events that were instrumental in the history and growth of
the Museum.

Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas - Meddling in the Museum

July 10 - December 31, 2007

Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas mixes it up at MOA with three
site-specific installations inspired by the Museum's current Renewal
Project.  Michael's new works incorporate media as diverse as a
stolen-but-recovered car hoods and copper leaf (Coppers from the Hood), an
entire canoe-bearing Pontiac Firefly (Pedal to the Meddle), and an
interactive Haida manga mural using abandoned archaeology storage trays
(Bone Box). In the process, he brings his own brand of humour, narrative,
and social commentary to jumpstart new debates in the Museum's changing
spaces. Installations curated by Karen Duffek, Curator, Contemporary Visual
Arts. Thanks to Canada Council for the Arts for their support of this
project.

The History of Walas Gwaxwiwe-The Great Raven Hamsiwe'

Ongoing; Corridor Case opposite Bill Reid's Raven Sculpture

This small exhibit showcases the magnificent Great Raven Hamiswe' mask that
MOA purchased from a Vancouver shop in 1962, and for which William Wasden
Jr. has been able to reconstruct a detailed history by working with
knowledgeable Kwakwaka'wakw elders from his home community of Alert Bay,
B.C. Through accompanying labels, photographs, and video, William tells the
story of how this mask and the privilege it represents first came to the
Scow family, the potlatches at which this privilege was shown, and how Beau
Dick carved a new version of this mask in 1993 so that it could continue to
be danced. He also explores the question of who carved the original mask. 

"A Partnership of Peoples" Exhibit

The Museum has embarked upon a major Renewal Project known as "A Partnership
of Peoples" (for details, see www.moa.ubc.ca/renewal
<blocked::http://www.moa.ubc.ca/renewal> ). In this exhibit, MOA displays
its plans for expansion and renovation, a scale model, and samples of
architectural details, finishings, and furnishings. We also open a window
onto our Digitization Studio, in which a team of professional photographers
use state-of-the-art digital cameras and high-speed computers to capture
high resolution images of the collections throughout the day.
