Exhibits opening at FWMoA
Trench Art: Productive Pastimes from the Debris of War
January 14 - February 26, 2012
Trench Art is commonly and broadly defined as any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. Common articles that this includes are decorated, or modified shell or bullet casings, mess kits, helmets, and similar items at hand to a soldier at war. This type of art was a frequent souvenir of soldiers of the first half of the 20th century, and is often still found in the homes of veterans or their descendants.
The exhibitions is a collaboration with the Museum of the Soldier, Portland, Indiana and guest curated by FWMoA Technical Director Brian K. Williamson. Williamson is a founding board member and Vice President of the Museum of the Soldier as well as a Master Sergeant in the Indiana National Guard scheduled for a tour in Afghanistan in early 2012.
Active Military Personnel and Veterans will be admitted free with valid ID.
Cabinet of Curiosities: Works from the Collection
January 21 - February 26, 2012
Wunderkammer, or "Cabinets of Curiosities," arose in mid 16th century Europe as repositories for all manner of wondrous and exotic objects. In many ways, these are seen as precursors to the modern museum. Cabinet of Curiosities will bring together disparate works from the FWMoA's Collections highlighting and juxtaposing their differences in time period, media, function and the object's relationship to the definition of art. Challenge yourself to explore the links between 19th century tableware, a Japanese Urn, contemporary ceramics and mid 20th century studio glass; the results may surprise you! Included artists will range from nationally recognized makers to those with local Fort Wayne connections. Several of the works have not been displayed previously at FWMoA, and additional works have not been on display in recent years-find out what 'curious' objects the Museum owns!
