Message from the Director
DIRECTOR MESSAGES
It is such an exciting time at the Muskegon Museum of Art. We are
presenting some extraordinary exhibitions in the coming months, we have
added some great pieces of art to the permanent collection, and our museum
expansion project is moving forward to a ground breaking next year.
You will want to make the MMA a destination over the winter months. On
January 6, we are opening miniARTure Golf, a fully playable 9-hole mini
golf course, each challenging hole based on a work of art from the MMA’s
permanent collection. A great winter activity for the entire family or contact
Kirk Hallman us to reserve an evening for a private corporate golf outing.
Executive Director As of this writing there is still time to catch Edward S. Curtis: Unpublished
Muskegon Museum of Art Alaska and take in the immersive Tiff Massey: Jewelry Box installation as well
as seeing what is new with the MMA permanent collection.

We continue to move forward with our expansion project. We are fully
immersed with our architectural team in the design phase and thanks to
the generosity of our supporters, we will have a new museum you all can
be proud of. We are still seeking contributions as construction costs have
increased substantially since the inception of the project. As we close out a
successful 2021, the timing is perfect for an end-of-year gift toward museum
expansion. Contact me and I would be glad to discuss.
There are many more details in your MMA Journal. Thank you for your support
in what has been a great year. We are so glad you are a member in this
transformative time at the Muskegon Museum of Art.

Winfred Rembert
In 2015, the Muskegon Museum of Art collaborated to organize the exhibition
Common Ground: African American Art from the Flint Institute of Arts, the Kalamazoo
Institute of Arts, and the Muskegon Museum of Art. As part of its programming, the
MMA hosted artist Winfred Rembert and Vivian Ducat director/producter of All Me
(Rembert was represented in the show with a single painting) for a series of talks 5
in the auditorium and nearby public schools. Direct, unapologetic, and charming,
COLLECTIONS HIGHLIGHT
he was mesmerizing to audiences and Winfred and his family quickly became
close to MMA staff. Eager to have his work in the collections, the MMA purchased
one of his works, Chain Gang Picking Cotton #2, and in the following years worked
with the artist and Adelson Galleries in Boston to organize a solo exhibition of
his art. Southern Roots: The Paintings of Winfred Rembert launched to the public in
Winfred Rembert (American, 1945-2021)

Museum Purchase, through funds provided
life story has been shared in films, books, and major publications, including StoryCorp
by the Van Kampen Art Fund. 2015.9
and the New York Times. The Times article, written at his passing, included images of
both of the MMA’s paintings, a wonderful tribute to the relationship we shared.
“Chain gang work is the worst work under the sun. I know because I spent seven years on
one. It never got too cold or too hot to work. Snakes and bees can be a problem. Picking
cotton on the chain gang is just hard. The sun is really hot and water is not plentiful.”
~ Winfred Rembert, from a handwritten statement, Adelson Galleries archives
Winfred Rembert was born in Americus, Georgia, in 1945. When he was three months
old, he was given to his great-aunt in Cuthbert, Georgia to raise. He describes
“Mama,” as she was affectionately known, as a survivor, a woman who lived in fear of
white people and exhorted him to do whatever he needed to avoid their ire. Mama
worked in the cotton fields to support her tiny family, with the infant Rembert often
laid on a sheet nearby. By the time he was six, he too was picking potatoes and
cotton in the fields, where a day of labor might earn 50 cents to a dollar. For the
plantation owners, cotton was a source of great wealth, but for the pickers, the labor
was brutal. Cotton had to be plucked from the pods by hand under the hot sun, with
men and women dragging heavy bags behind while plagued with biting insects and
snakes. Rembert attended school sporadically when picking was done, no more than
two days per week, leaving him an outsider amongst his classmates and unable to
achieve a formal education.
Rembert learned to hand tool leather while incarcerated at a prison in Georgia.
He had been arrested after fleeing violence at a 1964 civil rights rally and was
nearly lynched before being sentenced to 27 years in prison, of which he ultimately
Winfred Rembert (American, 1945-2021) served 7. After his release, Rembert married, moved north, and found employment

Foundation. 2018.1 plantation; joining civil rights rallies as a follower of Martin Luther King, Jr.; his
arrest and near lynching; 7 years in jail; and hard labor on the chain gang.
Rembert’s tooled leather paintings resonate with a painful past but they can portray
happier memories as well, recalling his hometown of Cuthbert, Georgia. For an
artist with no formal training, he exhibits remarkable talent as both a creator and a
storyteller. He has elevated prison-learned craft to museum-worthy art.

Tiff Massey: Jewelry Box
Mike & Kay Olthoff Gallery

Multimedia artist and metalsmith Tiff Massey makes art and jewelry inspired by
EXHIBITIONS
1980s hip-hop fashion and her experiences living in Detroit. Building from an
examination of the African diaspora, Massey delves into contemporary issues of
race, class, and popular culture in large-scale wearable jewelry and sculpture,
music, performances, and installations. Drawing from her “Everyday Arsenal” series,
Massey transforms the Muskegon Museum of Art’s Olthoff Gallery into a flashy
display of massive hip-hop jewelry, gold, and mirrors
in a dynamic exploration of self-identity and
fashion. A Cranbrook graduate with a MFA
in metalsmithing, Massey is a two-time
winner of the John S. and James L.
Knight Foundation’s Knight Arts
Challenge and a 2015 Kresge Arts
in Detroit Fellowship recipient.

Edward S. Curtis:
Unpublished Alaska 9
The Lost Photographs
EXHIBITIONS
Alcoa Foundation Gallery
Hines Corporation/Theodore & Joan Operhall Gallery
On June 8, 1927, Edward Sherriff Curtis, accompanied by daughter Beth Curtis Magnuson and newly employed
Stewart C. Eastwood, set sail on the steamer ship Victoria towards Nome, Alaska. The purpose of their voyage was to
complete the photography and research for the final, 20th volume of Curtis’s masterwork, The North American Indian.
Begun in 1906, The North American Indian was the defining passion of Curtis’s life, an attempt to record, in writing
and photography, the lives of the indigenous peoples of the southwestern, western, and northwestern United States.
This trip, planned for a single season, would be the final voyage to complete his epic quest. Curtis took hundreds of
images on his journey, only part of which were ultimately published. The rest sat, unseen, passed down through the
family until today.
Edward S. Curtis, Fish Racks, 1927
Edward Curtis: Unpublished Alaska, The Lost Photographs
presents, for the first time to the public, images made from
the unused original negatives. Over 100 images comprise
the exhibition, along with excerpts from the personal
journals of Curtis and his daughter Beth that describe
their often harrowing adventures in the Bering Sea. This
exhibition accompanies the 2021 publication of the
complete journals by Curtis’s descendants in Edward Curtis:
Unpublished Alaska.
Join us in exploring this unique glimpse into the making Edward S. Curtis, King Island Houses, 1927
of an artistic and historic masterpiece.

Winslow Homer was one of the most significant
EXHIBITIONS
American artists of the 19th century, famed for his
dramatic depictions of people and nature. Homer’s
art was grounded in an intense realism, recording
the lives of people at work and play and shaping how
the Nation saw itself. Winslow Homer: Illustrating a
Nation uses prints from the Muskegon Museum of Art’s
own collection to share with today’s audiences the
drawings that first established Homer in the popular
consciousness of his day.
