Behind the Vault Doors
Missoula Art Museum (MAM)
June 11 – August 31, 2010
MAM’s Behind the Vault Doors exhibit is part of a statewide collaborative venture between six Montana museums spurred on by the film project of Allen Powers. This project highlights the rich artistic heritage found in the collections of our Montana museums, home to many of our most precious cultural treasures.

Joshua Meier: The Parables (and other impossible events)
Missoula Art Museum
June 4 – September 19, 2010
“The power of the parable lies in its ability to speak directly about our reality while existing completely outside of that reality,” states photographer Joshua Meier about his new exhibition of photographs at the Missoula Art Museum. A traditional parable is a succinct story, fictitious in nature and with a moral or religious lesson that touches on a universal truth. Meier carefully and meticulously stages models and props to create his photographs of visual parables.

March 5 – May 30, 2010
Missoula Art Museum (MAM)
Good Girls 1968 is an installation that consists of over 160 ceramic portraits of young women with whom Marilyn Lysohir graduated from high school. The installation involved reconnecting through hours on the phone with many of the girls captured in the portraits. Lysohir is a renowned ceramicist and although Good Girls 1968 is grounded and created from one person’s point of view, this exhibition transcends the personal and discovers its impact while touching the audience’s cultural memory and reminiscences.
