Frist Exhibition Dresses a Bloody History in Silk and Velvet

The Frist Art Museum's summer exhibition, "Venice and the Ottoman Empire," presents over 150 artifacts from Venice's civic museums, Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, and the University of Zadar's museum. Co-curated by Stefano Carboni and Trinita Kennedy, the show explores the complex relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice, highlighting not only their centuries of brutal warfare but also their extensive trade networks and cultural exchange. Luxury textiles, including silk and velvet with Ottoman designs, feature prominently, alongside books, a qibla indicator, and military artifacts like a 17th-century Ottoman banner. The exhibition focuses on commerce and the elite who commissioned portraits, though it notably omits discussion of the slave trades and minimizes production processes.

Women’s Work: The art of Nancy Erickson (museum exhibition)

In 1973, three pioneering women artists—Lela Autio, Dana Boussard, and Nancy Erickson—proposed an exhibition of their soft sculpture at the University of Montana in Missoula, but were denied because their work was dismissed as "women's work." Undeterred, they staged their own exhibition in the empty Carnegie Library building in 1974, a year before the Missoula Art Museum (MAM) was founded. Now, MAM's special exhibition "Women's Work" celebrates the museum's 50th anniversary by showcasing the works of these three artists, including several pieces by Nancy Erickson (1935-2022) such as "Rainbow Flight" (1974), "Montana Selective Cut: Official Visit" (1974), and "Pattee Canyon Fire" (1977).
