Freeing Athena
SALON: Designers Jane Androski and Emily Rye of Design Agency on “Freeing Athena.”
Over 100 years after the Athenaeum’s official seal was introduced, Athena’s status at the Providence Athenaeum remains unassailable. During a year-long investigation into the history of the Athenaeum’s visual identity, Androski and Rye pulled open drawers both literal and metaphorical to reveal just how Athena, and all of her compatriots (her Owls, the Raven, and even the building itself) have shaped our impressions of, and engagement with, this place we know so well. Join us for a visual scavenger hunt through the clues that informed Androski’s and Rye’s redesign of the Athenaeum’s visual identity—from the adaptation of the seal to the forthcoming website—and towards an understanding of just what “Freeing Athena” represents for the Athenaeum’s next 100 years.

Sea Pageant
Open Sesame: Jed Hancock-Brainerd & Rebecca Noon
SALON: Jed Hancock-Brainerd and Rebecca Noon of Strange Attractor discuss Rhode Islanders’ relationship with the ocean and their upcoming performance.
Hancock-Brainerd and Noon researched Rhode Islanders’ relationship with the ocean in preparation for a 100-person Sea Pageant performed on August 21, 2017 on First Beach in Newport during a solar eclipse. They found materials related to the ocean and epic poetry; recreation; performance; transportation; the slave trade; sailing races; shipping; immigration; indigenous, Colonial, and Victorian traditions; ecological changes; and hopes for the future. They will use their findings to create an epic choral piece with a group of generative artists, that includes dancers, poets, musicians, and visual artists that they then teach to a chorus of 100 performers. Join us as they will share some of what they learned and some of what they are creating.
Funded by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, the Open Sesame Project brings together six artists/scholars working in different genres to research into the Athenæum’s extensive collections.
EX LIBRIS: Jewels of the Nile
The Worcester Art Museum holds a remarkable group of ancient Egyptian jewelry and artifacts that have been hidden from view for 100 years. Curator Peter Lacovara explores WAM’s Jewels of the Nile exhibition.
The magnificence of ancient Egypt comes to brilliant life through jewelry – the most precious and personal of human possessions – in this expansive exhibition at WAM. Timed to open 100 years after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Jewels of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Treasures from the Worcester Art Museum puts the Museum’s collection of early Egyptian jewelry on view for the first time in a century. Remarkable for both its breadth and quality, this collection was assembled by Kingsmill Marrs (d. 1912) and Laura Norcross Marrs (1845 – 1926) and given to WAM by Mrs. Marrs.
Jewels of the Nile showcases 300 objects, ranging from tiny beads and gems to large sculptures from the Museum’s other Egyptian holdings. Through the singular story of Kingsmill and Laura Marrs and their friendship with British archaeologist Howard Carter, the exhibition also delves into the materials and techniques used in the creation of personal adornments, the evolution of style over the centuries, and the early twentieth-century phenomenon of Egyptomania sparked by archaeological exploration in the region. Interactive components and interpretive programs will allow visitors of all ages to explore and experience themselves this fascinating aspect of ancient Egyptian culture.
EX LIBRIS: Rough Riders
Today, we know about the Rough Riders mostly as a colorful chapter in the life of Theodore Roosevelt. But there is much more to the tale. NYT Deputy Op-Ed Editor Clay Risen will explore the untold history of the regiment and explain what made it such a significant part of American history – for Roosevelt, as well as for a country on the brink of becoming a global power.
The Crowded Hour:Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders and the Dawn of the American Century is available for purchase through the Brown Bookstore, along with other titles featured this season.
