“Mohican Masters – the original people of the Albany region – alongside Dutch Masters. The approach perfectly matches the spirit of our Future400 cultural program.” The Albany Institute of History & Art opened two exhibitions this weekend, where you experience seventeenth-century Dutch and Native culture through the five senses. "Delights of the Senses: Seventeenth-Century Dutch Art and Life, Featuring Paintings from the Leiden Collection" matches paintings from the preeminent The Leiden Collection with historic objects from the institute's collection and others. "People of the Waters that Are Never Still: A Celebration of Mohican Art and Culture" honors the Mohican people through historical and contemporary art. Not only are the five senses evoked, but also a sense of connection - to place, the Earth, water, animals, relatives, ancestors, stories, traditions, identity, and community. The contemporary artists in this exhibition reflect upon their heritage. At the opening reception, Cultural Attaché Pauline Genee applauded the approach of the museum, telling a more complete history: "This is what art, this is what culture can do: connect on a deeper level. On a human level. Oil on canvas comes to live, becomes real human beings. Like you and me. With all the senses activated. Connecting across the ages. Across nations. Across divisions.” More details: https://lnkd.in/gP9Kshwz
