COVID-19's IMPACT ON ART inSIGHT:
Given the recent increases in cases and hospitalizations, we need to keep staying home. Although Zooming doesn't offer the pleasant social benefits of our gatherings, it has its advantages, and I'll keep working via this medium untll we feel safe to gather again. Personally, I will be eager to resume gatherings at the Neill-Cochran House Museum and the Chateau Bellevue because it means support for two of Austin's oldest houses. The Chateau has set a minimum of 40 (with social distancing and all possible precautions involved in seating and table service) and the NCHM is encouraging outdoor gatherings . . . I will be watching for indications of interest in these options. Meanwhile, I'm grateful for Zoom! For dates and cost, scroll down.
SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR NOW:
• Explore individual artists, movements, etc., via the Met's
Example: Click on their American Art 19th century and see a long list of sub-topics that make it easy to build understanding in manageable chunks

Neill-Cochran House Museum
Porcelain sculpture by Austin visual artist Ginger Geyer, conceived to explore issues of privilege and servitude, will be installed throughout the Museum; imaginary friends Chlora and Ruby Virginia exist on 16 placards to initiate visitor conversations about what is seen and how it suggests ideas about the house's past. A lively calendar of exhibition-related programs created by Austin minister, songstress, and actor Jennifer Cumberbatch will complement the objects and enrich dialogues about Austin's past and the antebellum realities of the NCH's construction.

BRISCOE CENTER FOR AMERICAN HISTORY • www.cah.utexas.edu
From Commemoration to Education: Pompeo Coppini's Statue of Jefferson Davis
Commissioned in 1919 by university regent Major George W. Littlefield the statue was envisioned as part of a much larger allegorical memorial, the Littlefield Fountain, intended to honor Texans who died in the Civil War and World War I while also addressing the reconciliation of the northern and southern states between those wars. However, the memorial and its campus setting and cultural context changed significantly over the course of its development. No longer an object of commemoration, the statue was moved in 2015 and now forms part of a new exhibition that explores the statue's history, as well as its significance as both a work of art and evidence of the past.
HARRY RANSOM HUMANITIES RESEARCH CENTER at UT-AUSTIN • http://www.hrc.utexas.edu
NEILL-COCHRAN HOUSE MUSEUM ♦ www.nchmuseum.org
The NCHM's major structural renovation is complete and, for the first time in 50 years, this Greek Revival mansion has bright paint, splendid wallpaper, and Cochran furnishings in new bedroom installations. Changing exhibitions highlight aspects of life in long-ago Austin, and art and artifacts from the House's period of interpretation complement adult lecture series and family programming, offering numerous reasons to visit and return.
If These Walls Could Talk (January 15 - November, 2020) OPEN NOW
Ginger Geyer's porcelain trompe-l'oeil sculptures of everyday objects placed throughout the Museum will set the stage for dialogues between Chlora (imaginary resident of the NCHM sometime in the past) and Ruby Virginia, her visiting friend, enacted by performance artist Jennifer Cumberbatch, dialogues between sculptor and actress, etc.
Numerous special one-time events are planned, dependent on the success of fundraising for this milestone museum project that will be followed by a reinterpretation of the Museum's "Dependency," the 9th-oldest building in Austin and the only extant habitation/workspace used by enslaved laborers (who worked on the construction of the Neill-Cochran House Museum).
