Visual Culture Caucus, The ASA http://www.theasa.net/caucus_visual/ The American Studies Association, exists to promote and encourage the study of American culture--past and present. Membership numbers approximately 5,000 and is open to all individuals and to cultural or educational institutions. Chartered in 1951, the American Studies Association now has more than 5,000 members. They come from many fields: history, literature, religion, art, philosophy, music, science, folklore, ethnic studies, anthropology, material culture, museum studies, sociology, government, communications, education, library science, gender studies, popular culture, and others. They include persons concerned with American culture: teachers and other professionals whose interests extend beyond their speciality, faculty and students associated with American Studies programs in colleges and secondary schools, museum directors and librarians interested in all segments of American life, public officials and administrators concerned with the broadest aspects of education. They approach American culture from many directions but have in common the desire to view America as a whole rather from the perspective of a single discipline. {weblog_language} Copyright 2010 2010-07-14T17:45:33+00:00 Weisenberger Fellow of American Art http://www.theasa.net/caucus_visual/item/weisenberger_fellow_of_american_art/ http://www.theasa.net/caucus_visual/item/weisenberger_fellow_of_american_art/#When:17:45:33Z The Indianapolis Museum of Art is pleased to announce an 8-month graduate curatorial fellowship.

Director Don Bacigalupi to Leave Toledo Museum of Art in October

Toledo, Ohio-The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) announced today that Don
Bacigalupi, its president, director, and CEO since 2003, has accepted
the directorship at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in
Bentonville, Arkansas.  Bacigalupi and Alice Walton, founder and chair
of the board of trustees of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art,
made the formal announcement at a press conference in Bentonville this
afternoon.  His last day at the Museum will be in mid-October. 

“I have enjoyed immensely my six years in Toledo,” Bacigalupi said.
“This Museum-without question-is one of the most brilliant gems among
cultural institutions anywhere, and it has been an honor to have led TMA
for these very productive years.”

A specialist in Post-WWII contemporary art and popular culture,
Bacigalupi is credited with expanding the Museum’s contemporary art
collection through the acquisitions of such iconic works as Marisol’s
The Party, Duane Hanson’s Executive and Dale Chihuly’s Chandelier
Campiello del Remer #2.  During his tenure, he oversaw the construction
and opening of the renowned Glass Pavilion (2006), designed by the
Japanese firm SANAA, Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates.  This elegant
building was named “Best Museum” design in the world by Travel and
Leisure Magazine in 2007.

“Don Bacigalupi has been an outstanding director of the Toledo Museum of
Art,” said Betsy Brady, chair of the board of directors.  “His focus on
education, accessibility, creative programming, and outreach has engaged
and inspired new audiences.  That, combined with the ability to plan
strategically, extend a world class collection, motivate and inspire
talented staff, and maintain fiscal integrity in difficult economic
times, leaves the Museum in a very strong position to attract top
talent.” 

Prior to his arrival in Toledo, Bacigalupi served as executive director
of the San Diego Museum of Art (1999-2003); director and chief curator
of the Blaffer Gallery, the art museum of the University of Houston
(1995-1999); and the Brown Curator of Contemporary Art at the San
Antonio Museum of Art (1993-1995).
