Americas Galleries Rotations, June 2017

Tobie Miller has shared these rotation documents with you so everyone can prepare for the changes in the Americas Galleries. With the gallery construction beginning on May 24, Gallery 261 will be impacted right away, with objects deinstalled in the south wall cases.

According to Tobie, “The rotation is happening during the month of June, but we never know how registration will start so any piece could move throughout the month. Additionally, the South wall cases in 261 will be deinstalled next week for construction of the doorway between 261 and 262 and we will be heading right into the rotation.

The spreadsheets attached are broken down by gallery and install/deinstall.
These are not complete because Jill is currently working with members of the Cherokee and Dakhota communities to curate two cases – one being the Dakhota case on the north wall of 259 and the other being interpretation of the Rauschenberg going into 261 south wall case (currently the Arctic). As well, Andrea Carlson is guest curating the case that juts out from the wall in 259 and that list is attached.”
As additional information comes in, it will be posted. Please note that some objects are merely being moved (e.g., Arctic objects, from 261 to 260) and reinstalled in another gallery, so look through all documents. (G261a, The Frank Big Bear collage will be deinstalled after June 20th.)
