ARTWEEK is an effort by the Art and Art History Department to diversify our programmatic offerings, find collaborative opportunities for faculty and students alike, and offer a wide range of art-related events to the campus community. This semester, Artweek kicks off with a film screening of !Women Art Revolution by Artist House Artist-in-Residence Hannah Piper Burns, continues with a lecture by a visiting Art Historian, a screening from the film and video collection of Hannah Piper Burns, and culminates in the no-holds-barred Faculty Throwdown!!

The Smithsonian Institution's collection of Maori (New Zealand) art and material culture dates as far back as the Institution itself, with its beginnings in the trove of ethnographic material that returned with the Wilkes Expedition that had traveled from the United States to the Pacific, 1838-1840. Scientific expeditions, like the Wilkes Expedition, along with world's fairs, and donations by American servicemen, were just a few of the many ways Maori objects entered into the Smithsonian's collection.  Enormous feather and flax cloaks, intricate wood carvings, stone adzes, and nephrite pendants or hei-tiki are the basis for what amounts to an almost encyclopedic collection of Maori art – objects that began to be displayed as early as 1895. This talk presents a reconstruction of the history of the Maori collection and its exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. As an extended case study based on close object examination, archival documentation, and photographic evidence, it more broadly illustrates what happens to non-Western objects when they are collected and displayed in cultures that are not their own.

In her time as a co-founding member of Grand Detour, a Portland-based microcinema and experimental media center,  Hannah Piper Burns has come across a wealth of video treasures, from experimental animation to bold appropriation. At this screening, she will share some of these short works with students, to give them an idea of the video landscape as it exists in her time and place.
