WHY I CHOSE MUSEUM STUDIES: CONNECTING PEOPLE TO COMMUNITY AND HISTORY
Taylor discusses why she chose Museum Studies at San Francisco State University: “It’s
essential for connecting people to communities and connecting people to their shared histories.”
The Museum Studies Program, the only of its kind at a public university in California, offers a
Master of Arts and undergraduate minor. Its 500-plus alumni have advanced to successful
careers from the Getty to the Smithsonian.
Students gain professional-level experience on campus at the 1,922-square-foot Global
Museum, serving as a capstone experience. Students are responsible for preserving University
collections, designing exhibitions, conducting research, creating educational programs and
supporting visitors.
Permanent collections include art and material culture from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Egypt
and Oceania, spanning the ancient world to the 20th century. Highlights include the mummy
Nes-Per-N-Nub, once a high priest of the Temple of Karnak. His remains occupy a triple-nesting
sarcophagus, one of only three in the United States. Adolph Sutro, San Francisco mayor in the
1890s, purchased the mummies and displayed them at the Sutro Baths until the mid-1960s.
George K. Whitney Jr. donated them to SF State in 1964.

Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology No. 1
The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology in Claremont California had a fossil festival April 12, 2014. This is a virtual tour of the museum. The Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology in Claremont California had a fossil festival April 12, 2014. This is the world's second largest fossil track museums. Notice the fossil Coconino trackway. The animal is walking, then it is pushed sideways, then continues, this is not caused by walking on a sand dune. Most of the Coconino tracks in the Grand Canyon show the individual being pushed by something unknown. Notice all the fossil tracks throughout the museum are on flat layers, and yet they are in crossbeded sanstone assumed to be sand dunes. Tracks do not form in sand dunes. These appear to be volcanic flows of hot sand which condensed into stone. Volcanics is associated with all fossil sites. All Dinosaur grave yards are made up of sediment mixed with volcanic ash and water.

LINDA ARREOLA : ARCHITECT OF THE ABSTRACT
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
William Moreno, Curator : Throughout the twentieth century - abstraction - which eschews the illustrative and largely employs shapes, forms, colors and textures to achieve its effects - has been largely dominated by a somewhat insular boys club, and as aesthetic matter, would seem an unconventional mode-of-choice forLinda Arreola. Possessing a tenacious, uncommon vision she handily contradicts the stereotypical view that figurative and representational art forms are universally embraced by Latino artists. Trained in sculpture and architecture Arreola is single-minded in her exploration of abstraction, creating an exacting visual language and personal iconography. This is not disinterested painting but an ongoing conversation using non-objective metaphors - an attempt to distill culture, the personal and its concomitant sentiments into a precise yet lyrical idiom. Not concerned with literal notions of depicting or recreating the natural world, Arreola's work carries moral dimensions: order, purity, and spirituality are closely held references.
She is in good company. Early abstractionists include the legendary Georgia O’Keeffe and Carmen Herrera - with whom Arreola shares an interest in architecture - as well pioneering Minimalist, Rosemarie Castoro. All attempted to glean the fundamental nature of symmetry, precision, spatial tension and color in their work.
With an economy of line, Arreola's modernist grids and surfaces are often filled with pre-Columbian or text symbols while others are imbued with a tactile quality; indeed the Braille-like surfaces tempt one to touch - an invitation extended. Her current work has transitioned into robust columns, assertive forms and planes composed on canvas and wood panels. The scales vary: smaller works, by virtue of their dimensions are intimate and meditative, demonstrating an elegant poise and strength on par with the larger siblings. The larger paintings are self-assured, confident and fully realized. Underlying each work is a narrative, a kind of visual diary - some evident and others more elusive relying on the viewer's disposition for interpretation. These are works with a distinctly urban sensibility and the overarching impression is sensorial and captivating - a tour de force of form and spectral experimentation.
According to Arreola, a Los Angeles native: My work has revolved around a belief that when things are at their most elemental, they reveal to us their essence. Energy, poetry and glory, as well as mystery, are innate to all things. My interest has been in honoring the simple, the common and the elemental. This exhibition is chronologically arranged representing works from 2005 through 2016.
About the Artist
Linda Arreola is a Los Angeles based artist and a graduate of East Los Angeles College. She received her B.A. and M.A. degrees in sculpture from California State University, Los Angeles and a Master of Architecture from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is included in the book, Contemporary Chicana/Chicano Artists and was selected for a Public Art Commission at the East Los Angeles Civic Center main plaza. Arreola is a recipient of the Durfee Foundation ARC Grant and the City of Los Angeles (C.O.L.A.) Individual Artist Fellowship.
About the Curator
This exhibition is curated by William Moreno. William is an art advisor, curator and writer. He was previously the director of the Mexican Museum, San Francisco and the Claremont Museum of Art, Claremont.

Pieces of History - Claremont McKenna's Director of Facilities Brian Worley
You’ve probably driven by them countless times, but never knew that many of the beautiful mosaics you see in Claremont and La Verne are the work of Brian Worley, CMC’s director of facilities and campus services. We’re guessing you also don’t know that while Worley was an undergraduate student at Pomona College, he perfected his talents under the tutelage of Millard Sheets, an American watercolor painter, mosaicist, and architect whose brilliant tile art decorates buildings throughout the United States and Europe, including dozens of Home Savings branch offices in California, and even above the doors at Garrison Theater at Scripps College, where Sheets once taught. Worley will appear in a forthcoming documentary about Sheets, and throughout September, is demonstrating the mosaic art technique at the L.A. County Fair.

SAMELLA LEWIS : PIONEERING VISUAL ARTIST AND EDUCATOR
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
Samella Lewis says, “My inspiration as an artist and art historian comes from the need to bring greater attention to the accomplishments of African American Artists.”
SAMELLA SANDERS LEWIS - The career of visionary teacher, scholar and artist Samella Lewis spans some fifty years and has taken her to many parts of the world. As an art historian and scholar, her knowledge is boundless and accessible. As an artist, Lewis remains at the forefront of her field. As a collector, she has amassed an impressive and diverse collection that includes African American, Asian, Caribbean, Native American, South American and African Arts. As a social and community activist, she will serve as a reference for generations to come.
Her college education began in 1941 at Dillard University in her native New Orleans, where she studied with her mentor renowned artist Elizabeth Catlett. After two years at Dillard, she transferred to Hampton Institute (University) where she was a student of Viktor Lowenfeld, a Jewish refugee from Austria who taught his students not to feel they had to produce art to please anyone, but to produce it from the heart. This is an attitude Lewis still maintains and imparts to others.
At The Ohio State University, Lewis received her Master of Arts degree in 1947 and her Ph.D in fine arts and art history in 1951. In 1952 she became chair of the fine arts department at Florida A&M University. Her next stop was a teaching position five years later at the State University of New York (Plattsburgh), where she developed an interest in Chinese language and Chinese art history. This soon led to a Fullbright Fellowship to study Chinese language and art history in Taiwan.
On her return from Taiwan, Dr. Lewis was awarded a New York state grant to study Chinese language and art history at the Freer Gallery in Washington D.C.. with famed author and art historian Sherman Lee. Following this she resumed her studies at New York University and later at the University of Southern California with a three year course in Chinese language and history on a National Defense and Education grant.
Currently Dr. Lewis is Professor Emerita of art history at Scripps College of the Claremont Colleges. Scripps was instrumental in two of Lewis' career milestones. The school provided space and assistance in 1975 when she founded The International Review of African American Art. The school also lent support to The Museum of African American Art in 1976, of which Lewis was founder and director.
During the course of her career, Lewis has received numerous awards and honors, including an appointment as a distinguished scholar at the Getty Museum and the Samella Lewis Scholarship and Contemporary Art Collection at Scripps College in Claremont, California.

Living Along The Fenceline - Trailer - TWN
Living Along the Fenceline is available for educational purchases:
LIVING ALONG THE FENCELINE tells the stories of seven grassroots women leaders from across the Pacific to Puerto Rico whose communities are affected by the U.S. military presence in their backyards. Although not considered war zones, these strategic locations are part of a global network of 1,000 U.S. bases that allows the United States to go to war anytime, anywhere. These women are not four-star generals or White House strategists. Their expertise comes from living with the tragic hidden costs to life, health, culture, and the environment.
LIVING ALONG THE FENCELINE offers provocative insights and information for audiences to think about these contentious issues in new ways. It lifts up alternative ideas of peace and security, embedded in the work of women who are acting on their visions and creativity. Rethinking security means respecting people and the land, having living wage jobs, and creating genuine security for all our children.
This documentary, winner of the Best Feature Documentary Award at the Female Eye Film Festival, features interviews with Alma Bulawan (Philippines), Diana Lopez (San Antonio TX), Lisa Natividad (Guam), Sumi Park (South Korea), Terri Keko’olani Raymond (Hawaii), Yumi Tomita (pseudonym--Okinawa) and Zaida Torres (Vieques, Puerto Rico).
Reviews
After seeing this film, 'security' will take on new meanings, and the world map will never look the same.
- Cynthia Enloe, Author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War
Powerful, informative, and inspiring, this film provides an urgently needed critique of the global impact of militarism.
- Setsu Shigematsu, Co-editor Militarized Currents
...will open the minds and hearts of viewers, inspire debate, and be very useful in high school and university classrooms worldwide.
- David Vine, Author of Base Nation
This documentary explores the creativity, insights, and resilience of women of color organizing in the U.S. and its military colonies around the world. Its community-oriented dialogue on the ways in which women variously address the environmental, medical, political, and sexual violence of the U.S. military is both compelling and moving. I highly recommend Living Along the Fenceline for educational instruction and community reflection.
- Keith Camacho, Co-editor of Militarized Currents
The women we meet in Living along the Fenceline are linked not merely by their troubles, but also by their activism—that silver lining that allows them to stitch together strong new solidarities from a fractured social fabric.
- Peter Certo, Foreign Policy in Focus
LIVING ALONG THE FENCELINE is beautifully shot and professionally edited, and the film’s far-ranging geography is easy to follow thanks to a map of the world on which American flags indicate US bases. This film come[s] at an auspicious time. As Americans gradually begin to face the moral and economic limits of constant military growth, and as the once unquestionable US defense budget comes under closer scrutiny…

MILFORD ZORNES : HILBERT MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA ART
A new Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
The Hilbert Museum exclusively showcases the work of the California artists who visually captured the history and culture of the Golden State, from the 1920s to the present day. Our three new exhibitions feature acclaimed artists Emil Kosa Jr., Lee Blair, Mary Blair, Millard Sheets, Phil Dike, Fletcher Martin, Rex Brandt, Eyvind Earle, Phil Paradise, Milford Zornes and many more.
The Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University, which opened in 2016, was established thanks to the generosity of Mark and Janet Hilbert, whose superlative collection focuses on the “California Scene” painting movement of roughly the 1920s through the 1970s and beyond. The Hilbert Collection – which includes oils, watercolors, sketches and lithographs of rural and urban scenes, coastal views, farms, ranches, freeways and landscapes of everyday life in the Golden State – is a significant repository of 20th-century representational art by California artists. The Collection also includes animation and movie art (many California fine artists were drawn to the state by work in the movie industry, including as animators, background painters, set and backdrop designers and poster artists) and works by noted American illustrators.
