Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Cooperstown Graduate Association Conference: Folk
Art--New Interpretations, Oct. 27-28, 2006
The 2006 Cooperstown Graduate Association Conference, "Folk Art - New
Interpretations," will be held on October 27-28, 2006, at The New York State
Historical Association in Cooperstown, NY.
This conference brings together experts in the field of folk art, many of
whom were trained in the Cooperstown museum studies and folk culture
programs. They come from art museums, historical societies, universities,
and public folklore collections to share new discoveries and introduce
important resources for further study in the field. Their topics range from
quilts to beadwork to woodwork to paintings. Like the late Dr. Bruce
Buckley, who established both the museum studies program and the American
folk culture program, they explore the rich ethnic traditions that inspired
the artists they study. In a new twist, they present the complex interplay
between popular American culture and traditional ethnic practices among
groups such as the Pennsylvania Germans, Mardi Gras Indians, and Hungarian
immigrants. They analyze how a medium such as paint can be used by folk
artists of all stripes to embellish canvases, wooden objects, and even the
built environment.
The conference also includes a series of optional hands-on workshops on
topics ranging from hearth-oven bread baking to fantasy pumpkin carving.
