Debra and Dennis Scholl Distinguished Speaker Series

The nine artists in Marking the Infinite offer a glimpse into the diverse contemporary art practice of Aboriginal Australia. Hailing from remote areas across the island continent, the revered matriarchs created works steeped in ancient cultural traditions.  Despite their ancient roots, these works speak to universal contemporary themes, revealing the continued relevance of Indigenous knowledge in the twenty-first century. Learn about the significance and nuance of Aboriginal Australian contemporary art from special guests Maia Nuku, Evelyn A. J. Hall and John A. Friede Associate Curator for Oceanic Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Dennis Scholl, Miami-based collector and philanthropist; and Henry Skerritt, art historian and Mellon Curator of Indigenous Arts of Australia at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia. Moderated by Center for Art + Environment Director Bill Fox.

Immediately following the lecture and panel, join us for a special luncheon in the Nightingale Sky Room sponsored by the Collections Committee of the Nevada Museum of Art.  The catered Chef’s Table buffet, by Liberty Food & Wine, will feature wine and special guest speakers.

This year the State of Israel celebrates seventy years since its founding by the United Nations following World War II. To mark this occasion, the Nevada Museum of Art presents exhibitions by two female Israeli artists, Michal Rovner and Tal Shochat. Rovner and Shochat create work that is grounded in the history of photography, while delivering a fresh and independent viewpoint to the dialogue surrounding art and environment.

We invite you to honor these extraordinary artists with an exclusive dinner in the tradition of Shabbat, or the Jewish day of rest. Our guests will light candles, sip ceremonial Kiddush wine, and break challah bread before enjoying their meal. Prepared by Chef Mark Estee, this dinner features recipes by James Beard Award-winning Chef Michael Solmonov.

Guest speaker James S. Snyder, Director Emeritus of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, will discuss the history of art in Israel. Additional special guests include artist Tal Shochat.

Honorary Dinner Chairs and Lead Exhibition Sponsors: Catherine and John Farahi
