SUMMARY:Franco Moragrega Gallery Tour
DESCRIPTION:6:00 p.m. Wine and Appetizers \n6:30 p.m. Tour \nGallery Collective members are invited to join us for this special visit to the Franco Moragrega Contemporary Art Gallery. Talia Martin\, Gallery Collective member and Art Director of the gallery\, will give us a tour of the works on view.

Art represents not only culture and aesthetics but an investment for our future generations to perceive the journey of society through time.Due to the accelerated technological advances that we experience in this generation a rupture has emerged on what the unique experience of acquiring fine art used to be. It’s our goal to rekindle the relation between art and consumer\, to create not only a keen eye for quality art collections but an incomparable network to our wave of affordable luxury vision\, a legacy for those to come.

SUMMARY:The Intersection of Past and Present in Iranian Art: Behind the Scenes of an Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture and Tour Series\n\nChange of Program  \nNote: Due to a scheduling conflict\, our originally scheduled speaker Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir will be unable to appear.  We are fortunate that Dr. Linda Komaroff has agreed to speak instead. \n\n\nSpeaker:  Linda Komaroff\, Ph.D\, Curator and Department Head\, Art of the Middle East\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art \nLinda Komaroff has served as LACMA’s curator of Islamic art since 1995. Her past exhibitions at LACMA include The Legacy of Genghis Khan: Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia\, 1256–1353 (2003); A Tale of Two Persian Carpets (2009); and Gifts of the Sultan: The Arts of Giving at the Islamic Courts (2011). The latter was the first major exhibition on Islamic art organized by an American institution to travel to the Middle East\, to the Museum of Islamic Art\, Doha (2012)\, where she was the guest curator. Her exhibition of highlights from LACMA’s permanent collection of Islamic art recently opened at the new King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Dhahran\, Saudi Arabia. Among her contemporary exhibitions are: Islamic Art Now: Contemporary Art of the Middle East\, Part 1 (2015) and Part 2 (2016). Combining historical and contemporary art\, her current exhibition for LACMA\, In the Fields of Empty Days: The Intersection of Past and Present in Iranian Art\, will open May 6\, 2018. \nShe is the author or editor of several books and exhibition catalogues\, and has written numerous articles and book chapters on various aspects of Islamic art with a special focus on Iran. She is the recipient of a number of grants for scholarly research\, including two Fulbright fellowships\, and Metropolitan Museum of Art and Getty fellowships\, while the Legacy of Genghis Khan exhibition catalogue received the Alfred H. Barr\, Jr. Award from the College Art Association and Gifts of the Sultan received the Annual Publication Prize for Outstanding Exhibition Catalogue from the Association of Art Museum Curators and the Twentieth World Prize for the Book of the Year of the Islamic Republic of Iran. She has taught at Hamilton College\, New York University\, and UCLA. She was closely involved with LACMA’s acquisition of the Madina Collection of Islamic Art in 2002\, which\, in combination with the museum’s existing collection of Islamic art\, gives Los Angeles one of the most significant collections worldwide; in 2006 she began to acquire and exhibit contemporary art of the Middle East\, placing LACMA’s collection at the forefront of American museums. \n\nIn the Fields of Empty Days: The Intersection of Past and Present in Iranian Art (May 6–September 9\, 2018) \nLACMA’s In the Fields of Empty Days is a groundbreaking exhibition of both historical and contemporary Iranian works that highlight ways in which artists have used and continue to use the past as a metaphor for the present day. This notion is revealed in art and literature in which ancient kings and heroes are used in later contexts as examples of virtue or as objects of derision\, while long-gone Shi‘ite saints are evoked as champions of the poor and the oppressed. This lecture will go behind the scenes to look at the concepts that shaped the exhibition; it will also consider how the exhibition may transform existing ideas about Iranian art. \nRead more about her exhibition here \n\n\n\nSee the full list of speakers for the 2017-18 Guest Lecture and Tour Series. \nThis lecture series focuses on works of art on view in the Museum and topics of interest in the broader art world. Lectures are followed by docent-led tours. \n\nTickets: $13 members | $16 nonmembers | $8 seniors and military | $5 students\n\n\nImage: Siamak Filizadeh\, Anis al-Dawla\, 2014\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, purchased with funds provided by Kitzia and Richard Goodman through the 2016 Collectors Committee\, © Siamak Filizadeh\, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA

SUMMARY:Canceled: The Art and Romance of the Rebozo
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 25\n6:00 p.m.\nMuseum Boardroom \n\nUnfortunately this event has been canceled\, as Dr. Ana Paulina Gámez will not be able to provide the lecture. However\, Gregorio Luke will be providing a lecture on the same topic on Friday\, June 15\, 2018. Check here for details.\n\n\nDr. Ana Paulina Gámez  will speak on Mexico’s iconic textile – the rebozo – a powerful symbol of Mexican culture and identity. Its surprising Arabic origin and history will surprise and delight you. \nThe Mexican Revolution of 1910 brought the rebozo global notoriety as the garment of choice for the “Adelitas\,” rebel women who used it to carry both babies and weapons wrapped inside past government checkpoints. \nWomen of all socioeconomic classes have worn this garment celebrating births\, weddings and even as a death shroud. Famous artists and First Ladies of Mexico favored them such as Frida Kahlo\, Maria Felix\, and even the Empress Carlota. The rebozo became a sign of modesty and ostentation and a symbol in Mexican literature and cinema. \nPlease join us for a lecture detailing the fascinating history\, many uses\, and evolution of this culturally significant garment. \nWear your favorite rebozo! Join us after the lecture for light refreshments. \n\nDr. Ana Paulina Gámez received her Ph.D. in Art History from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)\, where she also currently teaches art. On two occasions\, she has been a scholarship recipient by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Spain to teach the course “Sources of Viceregal Art”. \nAs a specialist in Decorative Arts\, Popular Arts\, and Design\, Dr. Gámez has curated and consulted for multiple exhibitions in Mexico and the United States. She has presented various art courses and conferences\, and has published several books\, articles and essays in the United States\, Spain\, and Mexico.  She has been a curator for the Franz Meyer Museum and also resident curator for the National Museum of Art in Mexico City\, where she was in charge of the Viceregal and Popular Art collections. \nCurrently\, Dr. Gámez is an advisor to the Banamex Cultural Foundation\, as well as to the National Foundation for the Promotion of Handicrafts.  She is an active member of the Academic Councils of the Textile Center of the Mayan World and the Arocena Museum. \n\nThis event is sponsored by the Latin American Arts Council \n$5 LAAC members and students | $10 SDMA members | $15 nonmembers
