weeknotes museum teaching indigenous movies books

This Week:

Back fully at work, and I spent a lot of time just getting re-acquainted with what needed doing.
We started the de-installation of “A Deep Dive Into a Large Ocean”. I did condition reports and put away as many objects as I could.
I did some planning and fundraising work for our upcoming indigenous artists residency.
I did some prep work for a directed study on 18th century Atlantic material culture.
Doug and I drove to Williamstown to pick up the Prevatali painting that we had conserved at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.
Dominic and I finished reading the second “Ulysses Moore” book. It was still fun, but a big chunk of the book takes place in ancient Punt but there were quite a few historical innaccuracies that took me out of enjoying it fully.
Alanna and I watched “Confess, Fletch”, which was fun in places, but mostly just messy and not particularly entertaining. I just think John Hamm couldn’t pull of the shaggy charm of Chevy Chase’s originals.
