Ho`oulu-The Inspiration of Hula

September 4, 2009 - July 2010


What do you feel people need to know about hula? What do we want them to come away with?

1. Inspiration to create, to learn hula, and Hawaiian culture
2. 2 points to convey throughout exhibit: continuity via creativity to develop new dances & maintenance of tradition and legacy
3. Important to state that there’s more than 1 way in interpretation; be open with interpretation to encompass many beliefs within hula

The exhibition will be in 4 parts:

1. The front part of DH galleries will have paintings, drawings, prints, etc. The intent will be to “tell the story” of the beginnings of hula—the version told in the book “The Epic Tale of Hi`iakaikappoliopele”. Puakea Nogelmeier translated newspaper accounts of the tale from the early 1900’s. The book’s illustrations are by Solomon Enos. An account of the writing of the story can be found at:

http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/02/19/features/story03.html

A somewhat simplified version of the Hi`iaka story can be found at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi'iaka

2. The second trunk will have portraits of five important kumu:
* `Iolani Luahine (awarded the State of Hawaii Order of Distinction for Cultural Leadership 1969-1970)
* Edith Kanaka`ole (awarded the State of Hawaii Order of Distinction for Cultural Leadership 1979)
* Mary Kawena Pukui (She received the Hawaii Award for Literature in 1976)
* Lokalia Montgomery
* Tom Hiona

3. This third area is the large space in the center of the DH galleries. This will be largely black and white photos of kumu important in the development of hula in the modern era. The portraits are those found in the book Nana I Na Loea Hula – Look to the Resources Volume 1. The photos were taken by Shuzo Uemoto. It was published in 1984 by the Kalihi-Palama Culture & Arts Society. The project took over 2 ½ years of research, interviewing and photographing. Each notable hula exponent is not only represented by a photo, but by a page of first-person narration explaining his or her background in/relationship to hula.


4. This fourth part will have more “art objects”, photos, and hula costumes.

This exhibition features ninety-seven works of art from the Art in Public Places Collection inspired by the natural environment of Hawai’i. The land and sea provides us with life-giving sustenance, natural beauty, and cultural traditions. The delicate balance of Hawai’i’s precious resources is explored through the eyes of artists, providing a forum for civic discourse on the topic of environmental sustainability.

Art in Public Places Artists

Toshiko Takaezu
One of the first artists to explore ceramic’s possibilities as an independent aesthetic medium, Toshiko Takaezu revolutionized the field with abstract shapes, painterly glazes, and lyrical installations. Inspired by ceramist Maija Grotell, her teacher at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Takaezu absorbed a philosophy of irregularity and asymmetry and drew upon diverse artistic influences from Europe, Asia, and the natural world. Takaezu was also strongly influenced by the theories of Hong Kong–born potter Bernard Leach and the works of Hamada Shoji, which taught her the Zen approach of intuition and formal simplification that shaped the artist’s mature style. Through her mastery of ancient firing techniques, Takaezu created earthenware that reached sculptural heights, just as her exploration of surface decoration led her to use glaze with the same expressiveness as abstract painters. Takaezu’s ceramics lucidly articulate the cross-cultural influences of East and West, bridging her American, Hawaiian, and Japanese heritages while announcing her originality and independence. - The Art Institute of Chicago (T. Takaezu Ceramics March 22–June 8, 2008; Gallery 109)

"One of the best things about clay is that I can be completely free and honest with it. And clay responds to me. The clay is alive and even when it is dry, it is still breathing! I can feel the response in my hands, and I don't have to force the clay. The whole process is an interplay between the clay and myself and often the clay has much to say." - Quoted from The Penland School of Crafts Book of Pottery, New York: Bubbs-Merrill, 1973, p. 145.
