Jane Powell Dwyer Memorial Lecture
Dialogue and Silences at the Musée du Quai Branly
Wednesday, December 9, 5:30 p.m.
Manning Hall, Main Green, Brown University
Sally Price (Professor of American Studies and Anthropology, College of William & Mary) will lead a guided tour through Paris’s new museum of “arts premiers” (once known as “primitive art”), listening for the silences in information provided for the exhibited objects. Based partly on Professor Price’s recent book, Paris Primitive: Jacques Chirac’s Museum on the Quai Branly, this densely illustrated talk will explore the personal and national politics that contribute to the establishment of value and provenance, with special focus on the world of art collecting in France. Lecture sponsored by donors to the Jane Powell Dwyer Memorial Lecture and the Friends of the Haff enreff er Museum of Anthropology.
Reception will follow.
