Who is up for a road trip: JANUARY 23, 2019: See and Be Seen: Robert Mapplethorpe’s Photography at the Guggenheim…
According to an article By Caitlin Dover on the Guggenheim’s website here: https://www.guggenheim.org/blogs/checklist/see-and-be-seen-robert-mapplethorpes-photography-at-the-guggenheim

Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now, which opens this Friday, January 25 at the Guggenheim, presents selections of the artist’s work thirty years after his death. Drawn from extensive holdings gifted to the museum by the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in 1993, the show includes iconic images of nudes and flowers, explicit depictions of the S&M underground, portraits of the likes of Philip Glass and Andy Warhol, and Mapplethorpe’s intriguing and moving self-portraits.

The exhibition will have two phases; the second phase, which opens in July, will delve into Mapplethorpe’s impact on portraiture and self-representation, showing works by contemporary artists Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Lyle Ashton Harris, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Catherine Opie, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya.

Marylanders well represented in national African-American museum



Marylanders well represented in national African-American museum


[…]

The Smithsonian's 19th museum, unveiled on the National Mall in September, boldly defies such false notions. Banneker, born near what's now Ellicott City, is among dozens of Marylanders and Baltimoreans represented in a collection of approximately 40,000 artifacts — some 3,000 of which are now on display.

Objects of local origin include a stone slave auction block from Hagerstown; a pinback button from the Baltimore Elite Giants, a Negro Leagues baseball team; and colorful entertainment placards produced by Baltimore's Globe Poster Printing Corp.

A charred rope evokes the 1931 lynching of Matthew Williams in Salisbury. An oyster bucket from Chesapeake Bay waterman Ira Wright helps chronicle the region's seafood industry. An antique paper cutter from the Baltimore Afro-American newspaper, founded in 1892, was donated by current publisher John "Jake" Oliver.

"Countless African-Americans from Baltimore and throughout Maryland have distinguished themselves, and contributed to our great nation over the centuries," said Robert L. Wilkins, author of the new book "Long Road to Hard Truth: The 100-Year Mission to Create the National Museum of African American History and Culture." "And rightfully, their impact is on prominent display."

StrikeMePink: My Father’s Eyes

My Father’s Eyes


23AUG
One of the things I have wanted to do for a while was visit the Newseum in Washington D.C. The museum, which is dedicated to journalism, is shiny and new and in a wonderful location right in view of the Capitol on Pennsylvania Avenue. However, unlike the Smithsonian Museums only blocks away, the Newseum is not free. In fact its pretty much $20 for entrance.So I decided I’m going to go with my dad, because a) he loves museums and b) if he goes he’ll pay for me.
But I also choose to go with my dad because he’s pretty much made it impossible for me to go to a museum without him...  http://strikemepink6.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/my-fathers-eyes/
