SPECIAL EXHIBIT on BASKETS
The 2015 Marin Show will feature a special exhibit and symposium titled "Yesterday and Today" produced by the California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA) in association with the California Academy of Sciences. A major traveling exhibition of California Indian basketry, “Yesterday and Today” will compare 150 historic - seldom displayed - California Indian baskets from the Collection of the California Academy of Sciences with 45 contemporary baskets created by CIBA Master Weavers, demonstrating that California Indian basketry is the finest art ever produced in our state.
CIBA artists will be present with interactive experiences including plant fiber preparation -- “what goes before the basket,” -- as well as opportunities for direct interaction with “Contemporary Weavers at Work.” Special “Hands-On Basketry Activities” will engage young show visitors and their families, eager to learn firsthand about the basketry traditions of California Indians.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21st & SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd: 9 A.M. – 2:30 P.M.
Yesterday & Today: The Symposium - Reconnecting the Artist with the Art offers insights into one of California’s oldest art traditions, basket weaving. The two day symposium explores the challenges of identifying early California Indian basketweavers whose names were not recorded at the time their art was collected by museums and others. This educational program includes presentations by contemporary California Indian basketweavers, a study tour of “Yesterday & Today: The Exhibit” and of Art of Americas basketry vendor booths, and more.
Key presenters include California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA) Board Chairman and Master Weaver Clint McKay Dry Creek Pomo/Wappo/Wintun and Jan Timbrook, Ph D, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, who will explore how to recognize the characteristics of a fine California Indian basket; its possible origin, its materials and the techniques used by many scholars, museums, weavers, and collectors to reconnect the artist with the art. Other presenters include Benjamin Benson, Sonoma State University and Bryn Potter, of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
