SUMMARY:Below the Bark: Artworks of Disturbance Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Below the Bark exemplifies the Missoula Art Museum’s commitment to exhibits that combine societal and environmental phenomena with art. Three artists and a local scientist from the University of Montana created this exhibit in response to the bark beetle infestation\, deforestation\, and climate change. This infestation has commercial\, recreational\, and environmental impacts within western Montana and the greater North American forest ecosystems. The term “bark beetle” is typically used as a catchall for over 600 species of weevils that bore through the interior bark of trees to feed and reproduce. Tunnels can be “read” like human handwriting and give insight into the lifespan and needs of each individual beetle. This show focuses on pine and spruce bark beetles\, which have destroyed millions of acres of forests in recent years. Shifting climate patterns\, like milder winters\, allow for the proliferation of these beetles to kill off massive swaths of trees. \nThis exhibit is a collaboration between artists Jim Frazer\, Tim Musso\, and Suze Woolf. The works presented are strongly influenced by not only artistic inspiration and practice but by scientific research and philosophy. This exhibit includes linocut and woodcut prints\, photography\, handmade books\, and climate charts. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by the Holiday Inn Downtown.

SUMMARY:Neal Ambrose-Smith: Where Are You Going?
DESCRIPTION:With a dual exhibition title in Séliš and English\, artist Neal Ambrose-Smith queries our present\, collective situation and expresses the anxieties and uncertainties of contemporary life. Ambrose-Smith\, a descendent of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nations\, created this body of work over the past four years to address the seismic political and cultural shifts that have taken place. His work is typified by fluency in the mediums of printmaking\, painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, and neon\, well as a fluency in the currency of our times—popular culture. Ambrose-Smith wears his humor on his sleeve\, even as his heart is in his throat. He cares deeply about the present state of humanity and manifests this concern through these expressive artworks. Ambrose-Smith says\, “As a nation\, we face a reckoning seen the rise in anger\, racism\, hatred\, destruction of the planet\, and illness. As human beings\, we have to find a way to work together.” \n  \nIn this exhibition\, the artist uses the metaphor of multiple realities (through the use of black light\, references to Alice in Wonderland\, and Star Trek’s map of the known universe) to point out the fundamental problem with fixed solutions. A postmodern artist\, Ambrose-Smith moves between mediums and embodies the postmodern tenants of appropriation\, juxtaposition\, recontextualization\, globalization\, and hybridity. His work mixes concepts of Indigenous identity and pop culture\, with existential questions about contemporary society. He takes on large\, complicated themes such as the arc of human existence\, our interdependence with one another\, and the future direction of the planet in an accessible\, tongue-in-cheek way that connects to audiences.

SUMMARY:Anne Appleby: A Hymn for the Mother
DESCRIPTION:Observing and responding to her the forest surrounding her home and studio outside of Jefferson City\, Montana\, artist Anne Appleby distills her perceptions of natural elements as they perpetually alter throughout their life cycles. In this new series of works\, Appleby addresses the collective angst we are experiencing\, consciously or not\, regarding the rapidly changing climate. Through a subtle approach employing various mediums and imagery\, the exhibition examines the romantic ideas we hold culturally in relation to the reality and effects of a warming planet. Appleby states “I have spent the last twenty-three years painting the landscape of my Montana home\, in a reductive language observing the cyclical nature of trees and plants. I use this language in the exhibition but also explore a traditional style of romantic landscape painting.” \n“As an elegy to Mother Earth in face of unprecedented environmental destruction\, A Hymn for the Mother may be best understood through the lens of forward-thinking conservation practices and legislation and the development of the environmental movement in Montana. Usually\, contemporary art falls on one end of a spectrum while environmental policy and activism lie elsewhere\, unrelated\, but Appleby manages to create a body of work that bridges this traditional division. This is not to say that Appleby’s work is overtly political. Rather\, the environmental movement in Montana works as an armature to support deeper engagement and a better understanding of the artist’s practice and her work.” —Brandon Reintjes\, senior curator at MAM. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by The Wren and Ruth & Kim Reineking.
