SJMA’s 2021 Gala Honoree Rina Banerjee opened her home studio just for you! Listen to her speak about what art means to her, as an immigrant and a woman. She also speaks as to how and why we connect through art and what museums can provide to the community. Banerjee’s monumental mid-career retrospective, co-organized with Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Make Me a Summary of the World was on view at SJMA May 16–October 6, 2019. Known for her large-scale works of art made from materials that she has sourced throughout the world, this major exhibition focused on four interdependent themes in Banerjee's work: identity, globalization, feminism, and climate change. Read more about the exhibition here: https://sjmusart.org/banerjee. Rina Banerjee I think that being an artist is not something I even address as a career. For me, being an immigrant, art was what you inherited from other generations. It's everything, it is culture itself. Lauren Schell Dickens Stepping into the show, you're overcome with the sensuality of these materials, these colors, these exuberant forms. S. Sayre Batton I would describe Rina's work as maximalist, magnificent, full of energy and brilliance. Banerjee What moves us as human beings is what I feel most important in my work because it allows you to understand why we need to connect. Schell Dickens Rina's insistence on not letting her work be simplified, and insisting that it contain all of the complexities of our lived experience in the 21st century has resonated a lot with the artists who I've been working with, particularly the artists of color, particularly women. Rina's work really resonates with people whose sense of identity is pieced together from different areas, and here in San José we have so many diasporic communities. Banerjee The relationship with a museum is always a place to discover what an institution can or cannot do to make art available for the surrounding people, but also make it visible in the world so that the surrounding people who live there near San José can know about the world, and then the world can know about them. San José Museum of Art is very open to expressions, and I really enjoyed using the balcony and the staircase, and the kind of movements that allow the positioning on the elevator to enter into the formal space to allow me to do whatever I want to. It's really just freedom. Batton The San José Museum of Art is really proud to have co-organized Rina Banerjee's mid-career retrospective with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. This is a groundbreaking exhibition that traveled to other venues and produced a scholarly catalog. I think probably it was long overdue, Rina is very well known, particularly in Europe and to an international audience, but she's an American and this was an opportunity to honor this great American artist. Having Rina's retrospective on view made this museum come alive. We had lines around the block, people came from San Francisco, from Los Angeles. I think we're so lucky to have Rina Banerjee in our lives, and to have been able to organize this project and expose other audiences to the brilliance of her work. Banerjee I think women artists as well as people of color, people from poverty, have had less access to the idea of being an artist because it's been so much corralled as this glamorous masculine profession. I didn't have a studio for a long, long time, for 10 years. I make very large works, I've been able to do that with the cooperation of so many women curators and women directors who, like the San José Museum of Art, have allowed me to do the work of my dreams. #RinaBanerjee #artist #artiststudio #artisttalk

Pae White’s monumental hanging piece, "Noisy Blushes" is a gift to the City of San José and a beacon of light offering a moment of reverie to all who see it. Watch artist Pae White talk about what art and beauty mean to her and in her art, particularly in the period of Covid-19. Commissioned to usher in the next 50 years of creative impact at SJMA, Pae White’s "Noisy Blushes" soars within the Museum’s thirty-foot high atrium and transforms its entrance into an experiential passageway, delivering a sublime experience for visitors. Approximately 14 x 14 x 11 feet and suspended above the viewer, "Noisy Blushes" is one of the artist’s largest hanging pieces and her most colorful completed to date. The sculpture comprises 68 colors and a design that fluctuates with the time of day, the seasons, and as the viewer changes their vantage point. This site-specific work is the most ambitious commission in SJMA’s history. Pae White (b. 1963, Los Angeles) lives and works in Los Angeles. Recent solo exhibitions include: The San José Museum of Art (2019); Saarland Museum, Saarbrucken, Germany (2017); Fondazione Cini, Venice (2017); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle (2015); Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst / Gegenwartskunst, Wien (2013); Langen Foundation, Neuss, Düsseldorf (2013); South London Gallery, London (2013); Site Santa Fe (2011) and The Power Plant, Toronto (2011). Additionally, her work has been included in significant exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial, the Venice Biennale, and Skulpture Projekte Münster 07, Münster, Germany. White has created major public art works for the Oslo Opera House, Norway; Collaborative Life Science Building, Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles Metro Rapid, North Embarcadero, San Diego; Beverly Center, Los Angeles; Los Angeles International Airport; and Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Berlin. Pae White I think beauty is incredibly important in my work because sometimes that's all you can really hope for in that maybe a moment of reverie or transcendence is the best thing one can offer a viewer. If it's something extraordinary or as yet to ever have been seen, it's presenting some kind of magic. Rory Padeken We were thinking about the space, the atrium. It's in a prominent location in the Museum. It's also sited between both the historic wing and the Museum's modern edition. And so we needed an artist that was both considerate about the site, about the architecture, thinking about having something suspended. S. Sayre Batton In the year of celebrating women artists in the 50th anniversary, Pae White emerged as the artist most experienced to realize such a bold ambition. Padeken She's created these hanging pieces before. She's constantly innovating with her materials, with her subject matter. She works with craftsmen and artisans, fabricators from around the world, and it's very much how Silicon Valley works today. Batton The commission is the most ambitious in the Museum's 50-year history. It's visible in the lobby atrium through the glass facade, whether we are open or not. So it's truly a public work of art. Padeken Also, it honors the things that we do really well here, thinking about the education programs that we have. And so now school children can come in and think not just about art and art history, but ideas and subject matter related to math, to geometry. The hexagon structures this work. You can also think about computer software. A custom software was used to design this piece, and so all of these things kind of tumble in to the artwork that you experience at the Museum. White This project moving forward has been hugely important to me because it has overlapped with the COVID virus. And I have had some projects be put on pause indefinitely, and it's been sort of psychically reassuring that people are still interested in art. When there's so much uncertainty about the future, it's reaffirming for me as an artist. S. Sayre Batton: The commission was supported by a groundswell of supporters of the Museum. Realizing a work this joyous and animated in the fraught COVID-19 pandemic is truly an achievement. We are so happy to be able to give this gift to the public and display the way in which we believe artists are innovators and problem solvers. White And I think it sets an example for other institutions that artwork can still happen, that the world doesn't have to be put on hold and art is important. Pae White, "Noisy Blushes," 2020.

Synopsis The Painting Bolinas movie is a documentary about a 90 yr old artist, Peter Lee Brownlee whose lifestyle mirrors a king in a court of chaos and imagination. Peter is known as the "cake decorator" because of his massive layering technique, creating rich textures, his paintings are of urban and rural downtowns and famous landmarks all across America. In an earlier time, one of his paintings was on the cover of "New York Living" and he donated paintings to help Yoko Ono raise funds for the Strawberry Fields John Lennon Memorial. His court includes an eccentric collection of people who have lost their dreams and found their way to Bolinas, California, a magical village that seems to teeter between the edge of the world and the edge of the Pacific; a haunt not unlike a Steinbeck novel. It serves as the living backdrop for a film about a brilliant artist, the aging process, a woman who wants to save his paintings from ruination and the zany characters that choose to live out their lives with him. A lesson in socio-anthropology; it is a study that focuses on contemporary human beings in social groups. Granted it is rather unorthodox, but it still reflects the underlying logics of social behavior. It is a story of love on many levels. The protagonist discusses how he sees his place as a house of refuge where he allows anyone who needs a place to stay, to do so. He doesn't know how many people live with him and he doesn't care. He has a dear relationship with his Butler even though he says he hates him. His Butler still continues to serve him taking off his shoes and heating up his food after being verbally abused several times. Additionally, viewing all the different ethnic and economic status' of these groups and how they interact in this very small isolated California coastal town (that has remained unchanged for years) is a socio-anthropological study of its own. Four years in the making, this documentary attempts to bring light to musicians, artists, philosophers, and intellectuals including those populations who are largely ignored. For these beloved denizens of Bolinas, California, they seem to always find themselves at a juncture balancing their ranking and inner turmoil in society with their quest for freedom. Illustrating a celebration of the human spirit, you cannot ignore the essence of the unique and genuine relationships this extraordinary fine art painter has with everyone in town and beyond.

In this video Dr. Rachel Barr, Associate Professor of Psychology and director of The Early Learning Project at Georgetown University, and Dr. Laura Zimmermann, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at University of Delaware’s College of Education & Human Development, discuss the importance of social scaffolding, or social demonstration and thoughtful guidance from adults, for introducing early learners to new technology and media. Even for “digital natives,” the social aspect of education is important for learning how to use new tech devices and apps. Key social scaffolding strategies include hands-on demonstration, verbal narration and repetition. Developers can consider building some of these social cues into products so that children benefit even if an adult isn’t present to introduce them to a new app.
