What if it questioned the norms of museum practice by replacing its traditional white walls with colorful murals? Or combined artworks not because they came from the same time or place, but because, together, they spoke to universal themes of human existence: people, places, and things? Artist Dave Muller asks these questions in Now Where Were We?, his temporary re-installation of Mia’s contemporary art galleries. Muller collaborated with Mia’s staff to explore its vast collection, selecting and combining artworks from very different times and places

March 1, 2014 – March 22, 2015 | Galleries 200, 201, 203 | Free Exhibition Drawn from the MIA’s impressive collection of Chinese paintings, this exhibition of 30 hanging scrolls, handscrolls, and album leaves explores the beauty and variety of the figure painting genre at a time of great artistic sophistication in China. Some of these paintings reflect the principles of Zen and the importance of insight and revelation, while others illustrate the Daoist search for personal immortality or Confucian respect for elders and ancestors. Meanwhile, the genre of meiren hua—paintings of beautiful women—remained popular, portraying the insular world of women from elite society or the courtesan class. This was the era of the „elegant gathering,“ of salons that gathered like-minded men of letters to share their painting collections, and the salons themselves became artistic subject matter

Yet Somali artists have also turned to other media, including drawing, painting, photography, and video. This exhibition celebrates the work of three Somali visual artists from the Twin Cities: Hassan Nor (81), Aziz Osman (69), and Ifrah Mansour (30)
