Virtual Events Out In The World
Seizo Sugawara, Eileen Gray’s Enduring Collaborator
Thursday, November 12
12 pm ET
This virtual BGC presentation will consider influence of the Japanese sculptor and lacquer specialist, Seizo Sugawara (1884 – 1937) on Eileen Gray (1878 – 1976) in the context of the pervasiveness of Japonisme. Gray is best known for her pioneering work in early modernist architecture. Less well known is her acclaimed earlier career as a lacquer furniture designer. The presentation reveals Gray’s fine appreciation of the unique characteristics of Japanese lacquer.

Made in America: Crafting a Southern Identity
Sunday, November 15
4:30 pm EST
Museums like Bayou Bend and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts collect and celebrate American-made objects. But what does “American-made” really mean? And how do these objects reflect the development of a unique American, and Southern, identity? Drawing on examples from the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts and Bayou Bend, as well as resources like the MESDA Craftsman Database and the William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive, speaker Daniel Ackermann will look at iconic southern objects and explore the many ways that immigration, migration, faith, race, and place influenced the creation of American objects and a unique southern identity.

Thursday, November 19
3 pm EST
Who works at a museum and research library? How does an exhibition come together? What is the difference between a curator, a conservator, and a collections manager? Who oversees the budget, engages with the public, and re-shelves the rare books?
