Video feature: "A Legacy for Iowa"

Here it is! I've been busy here at the UIMA learning how to use our new video technology. I'm excited to post the first video, a feature of the Museum's exhibit "A Legacy for Iowa: Pollock's 'Mural' and Modern Masterworks from the University of Iowa Museum of Art" on display now until August 2, 2009 at the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa. These shots were taken at the exhibit opening on April 19. If you haven't seen the exhibit yet, hopefully this will motivate you to head over there and see it yourself!

As we add more videos, you'll be able to see them all on the UIMA's YouTube channel. We'll also be adding a special place on the UIMA website for you to find them, as well as uploading them to the UIMA Facebook page and onto the Art Matters blog.

Over the summer, we plan on posting more video features on the exhibit, including spotlights on many of the paintings. Also, we'll be posting a highlight video from Lee Rosenbaum's talk soon!
