Wally Barnette - "The Last Show" - The Book
From Will Hübscher:
The Last Show by Wally Barnette was well received by friends, family, the public and the various media that published thoughtful articles about the show and Wally.
For those who were unable to attend The Last Show at Gallery 31 North, and for those who did and would like to have a remembrance of Wally’s emotionally stirring work, you can now order “The Last Show” book online at Blurb.com by following the link below. http://www.blurb.com/books/1082493
You may preview the book by clicking on the image of the cover. For ordering information, click on ABOUT BOOK near the top right-hand corner of the screen.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge those involved with bringing Wally’s final vision to light. Each family member and friend gave so much of themselves; their time, their experience, their love, and throughout insisted in staying in the background because we all felt that this is Wally’s show, and it is his work and memory that must shine.
With Love.

Marya/ The Museum of Ethnography 2009-2010 exhibition
BEYOND MOTHER TONGUE: A DAUGHTER’S AWAKENING
THE MUSEUM OF ETHNOGRAPHY presents its 11th exhibition entitled BEYOND MOTHER TONGUE: A DAUGHTER’S AWAKENING, running from October 17, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The OPENING RECEPTION will be held on Sat. October 17, 6-9pm. The multimedia installation portrays the story of the daughter (Marya) who witnesses the passage of a parent through the purgatory of the advanced dementia of Alzheimer’s. Memories erupt into an archaeological investigation replete with ancestral altarpieces, memento mori reliquaries honoring a life of ninety years. Accompanying the museum show is a video of taped performances filmed in the lava fields of Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. While autobiographical, the video and exhibition convey the universal story of all people living with or affected by the insidious disease of Alzheimer’s.
