I’m shocked that no one has posted about this yet.... WHERE MASKS STILL DANCE: NEW GUINEA From the Bowers Museum site... A stunning presentation of the intricate and mysterious cultures that inhabit the island of New Guinea, home to over one thousand aboriginal tribes and unique languages. Where Masks Still Dance: New Guinea features 40 black-and-white photographs by acclaimed documentary photographer Chris Rainier, known for his revealing images of earth’s last wilderness areas and the isolated indigenous peoples who live there. Explore the lives, masked ceremonies, crocodile cults, rites of passage, adornment, celebrations and rituals rarely documented in the West. Journey into this vanishing world where masks still dance. For those bibliophiles that want to have some of this in their library, the 1996 Bulfinch coffee table book of the same name is a MUST!!!! And, for those that weren’t already aware, the Bowers holds in its permanent collection quite a substantial amount of Art of the Pacific. Again, from the Bowers Museum site... ART OF THE PACIFIC For further information on the photographer, visit... And the Bowers Museum, visit... And if this is something that gets you going, you’ve got to check out the special exhibition opening Feb. 20... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=35442&forum=17&0 [ Edited by: JONPAUL 2010-02-06 15:06 ] |

Thanks for the post and the heads up, looks like two great exhibits. I think I'll take the girl this weekend. What's better on a rainy Saturday than a day at the museum? |

JONPAUL - This is getting a mighty tiki bump! This looks like a very interesting exhibit. Time for me to jet back over to Cali and check this out. |
