  Philip M Peek•ARTICLE•African Arts•2025•Referencias: 1

  Añadir item

  This is a tightly focused history of the beginnings of Nigerian museums by a museum director, at a time of much self-reflection by museums heightened by calls for repatriation of their holdings, especially from African countries. In addition to taking on the complex topic of Nigerian museums, their genesis and purposes, and the closely related history of a complicated man, Kenneth Murray, Amanda Hellman has chosen to do so based primarily on pers…

  Ways of the Rivers: Art and Environment of the Niger Delta, which was declared the best exhibition of 2002 by the Los Angeles Times, was really Doran Ross's project from the beginning. When he first proposed an exhibition of Niger Delta art to Phil in 1988, Phil felt the idea, at the time, was too overwhelming for him, given its scope and his other responsibilities. Several years later, after Martha and Phil had begun networking with a group of s…

  Añadir item

  Little is left to know about William Fagaly after the publication of his autobiography, intriguingly titled The Night Crawler King: Memoirs of an Art Museum Curator (2021). Given his well-deserved reputation as a devoted party goer in New Orleans, that title immediately brings to mind wild images; but, no, the title refers to his childhood “business” of harvesting worms to sell to local fishermen. The book is not only a guide to Bill's rich life …

  Philip M Peek, John Picton•ARTICLE•African Arts•2016•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 29

  Añadir item

  The arts of Nigeria are among the most studied of all African arts and yet there are still exceptional works about which we know very little. In this paper we offer an investigation of copper alloy works from the Lower Niger that demonstrate the extraordinary creativity and aesthetic power to which Fagg refers. These bell heads and their fantastic imagery have encouraged us to take a multidisciplinary approach, a synthesis that allows us to draw …

  In the Lathrop Gallery of Dartmouth's Hood Museum two concurrent exhibitions, “Auto-Graphics: Works by Victor Ekpuk” and “Ukara: Ritual Cloth of the Ekpe Secret Society,” provoked interesting counterpoints, reflecting the vitality of ancient artistic traditions in rural and urban Nigerian settings as well as in global contexts. Both exhibitions provided their own idiosyncratic usage of linguistic signs and ideographic lines but in very different …

  The prominence of the auditory world for African peoples requires attuning our study of their cultures more directly to the phenomena of sound. Cross-world communication, which establishes and validates the basis for human action, occurs when the normally inaudible otherworld beings reveal themselves in distinct acoustic fashion. This study reviews those otherworld voices, heard through divine kings and divination, and in the auditory arts of mus…
