Views of the Collection:
Art With a Point of View
On Sunday, Feb. 25, 2001, the Huntsville Museum
of Art will hold a Grand Opening for Views of the Collection: Art With
a Point of View at 1 p.m. in the Pei Ling Chan Gallery. On view through
July 22, 2001, Art With a Point of View will present 17 works from
the Museum's permanent collection by 14 contemporary American artists who
convey a uniquely personal outlook in their art. (left: Tim Crowder,

Award, 2000 Red Clay Survey)
In
conjunction with the Grand Opening, the Museum will also rededicate the
Chan Gallery as a permanent location for showcasing works from the Museum's
own collection. The Museum's treasures will be featured in a series of extended
Views of the Collection exhibitions that will highlight particular
aspects of the Museum's holdings. (left: David Kidd, (b. 1959 Atlanta,

of JoAnn Nagle)
For Art With a Point of View, the Museum is partnering
with Enhanced Realities, a local high-tech 
firm, to provide interactive learning stations that
will accompany selected works in the gallery. These multi-media, touch-screen
information systems will feature critiques by art students from Butler High
School and New Century High School, commentary on the works by the artists
who created them, and other information that the viewer can access at his/her
own pace. The Huntsville Museum of Art is proud to be the first museum in
the country to incorporate this brand new information system into its galleries.
