These photographs were taken during the Apollo 11, 12, 14 or 15 lunar landings. Like much early photography now exhibited in museums, these images were not originally intended as art. ⠀ ⠀ Apollo 11 mission⠀ 1969⠀ ⠀ #Apollo50 #Apollo11 #AkronArtMuseum

“I very much get what these people are about. That’s where I come from,” —Joe Vitone to hear Vitone tell his family’s stories, please visit joevitone.oncell.com on a smart phone or tablet to hear the stories behind the images.⠀ ⠀ #AkronArtMuseum #AAMEveryday #Akron #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryPhotography #Photography #Black&White

Yayoi Kusama⠀ "Arm Chair"⠀ 1963⠀ ⠀ These are from Kusama’s first body of sculpture, which the artist described as “accumulations.” She covered utilitarian objects with masses of stuffed and sewn cloth pouches, like phallic protrusions, and painted them either a single color or with polka dots. ⠀ ⠀ Word on the street is "Arm Chair" may be coming back on view soon. Would you be excited to see it? ⠀ ⠀ #AkronArtMuseum #AAMEveryday #ContemporaryArt #ContemporarySculpture #Sculpture #Kusama

Photographer Xaviera Simmons invited dozens of young girls and boys (with their parents’ permission), to take turns donning the same red-hooded cape. Her only prompt to the children was to tell her “where the wolf was.” The range of their individual stances, postures and poses registers as both unique and familiar. Each child is at once his or her own individual imagining of “Little Red Riding Hood” and a quintessential image we associate with the story. Each photograph transforms from merely landscape and figure into a story we supply from memory. The speed with which one immediately interprets the image as one of Little Red speaks to the profound staying power of the fairy tale in cultural consciousness.⠀ ⠀ Xaviera Simmons, If We Believe In Theory #3, 2009.

Join John S. Knight Director and CEO Mark Masuoka for a discussion of Mark di Suvero’s Eagle Wheel this Saturday July 13th. Imposing in scale and daring in color, this work became a beloved fixture at the museum. Masuoka will explain the conservation process, reinstallation and significance of returning this iconic artwork to public view.⠀ ⠀ https://buff.ly/2JHE9ub⠀ ⠀ #AkronArtMuseum #AAMEveryday #LiveCreative #MarkdiSuver #EagleWheel #ContemporaryArt #Sculpture
