Ann M. Wolfe: Chief Curator & Associate Director, Nevada Museum of Art - Epi 245, Host Mark Sublette

I had Ann M. Wolfe on today, and she is the chief curator and associate director of the Nevada Museum of Art. One of the first things we did is made sure everybody knows what the word is. "Nuh·vada" not "Nuh·vaw·da". She really is an interesting person. You can tell Ann has this great dedication to her job and what she does and that there's a big vision for what they're trying to do up at the Nevada Museum of Art. It's a self-proclaimed museum of ideas (that's really a trademarked and copyrighted term that they have for the museum) and they're doing just that. They're exhibiting land art, they work with the 28 tribes in the Great Basin region, and they're doing a show on the ichthyosaurs that used to live in the area.On top of all of that, opening in 2024 is a Maynard Dixon exhibition called Sagebrush and Solitude, which is the first time that they've actually done a show for Maynard Dixon that's just on Nevada and the surrounding Great Basin/Eastern California region. So that'll be very interesting. We talked a little bit about that. The exhibit is also going to have Don Haggerty writing part of the book that is going to come out with as a companion to the show itself.So again, very interesting person. I think you'll enjoy it and anyone who hasn't gone and visited the museum - they should. Put this on the top of your list because even the building itself is a work of art and they're really doing some interesting things there.
