NO COUPON REQUIRED Getting 'in touch' with art New museum director focuses learning, experiencing art ©1988 Hardee's Food Systems, Inc Bv M. Meredith Relph Kansan staff writer Andrea Norris wants to offer a "pure art experience" to visitors of the Spencer Museum of Art. "I want to be more of a curator-director than a businessman-director." Norris said. "I want people to know what to learn and learn to see wonderful things." Norris is the new museum director, replacing Jay Gates, who resigned last March to become director of the Seattle Art Museum. A New Jersey native, Norris received her bachelor's degree in art history from Wellesley College, in Wellesley, Mass., and her master's degree from the New York University Institute of Fine Arts in New York City. Norris came to KU in June from the University of Texas at Austin where she was the chief carer for her husband, who has worked as the assistant to the director of the Yale University Art Gallery and is one of the oldest museums in the United States. In addition to her experience in museum, Norris has taught art history classes at Yale and Texas, as well as at colleges in New York City. Although Norris will be concerned with all collections as the museum director betrayed his role during the Italian Renaissance. As part of her doctoral work, Norris spent a year in Milan, Italy, to study the art and culture of the Milano Renaissance. She also has studied the work of American artists dating from 1945 to the present. At KU, Norris will teach classes in museum training as well as oversee all departments within the museum. "This is an excellent museum with broad, strong collections in many areas." Norris said. "But there are others, and such we could have more examples." Norris said he wants to add more Latin American and European works to the museum's collection of 25,000 as well as improve other areas. "We also need to maintain our Oriental art and photography collections," she said. While New York usually is considered the hub of the art world, Norris said the people in the Midwest were "in touch with the rest of the world," as far as having excellent art collections. Norris said she had not seen many university universities with better collections than Spencer. She also cited the proximity of the William Rockhill Nelson museum in Kansas City, Mo., which offers larger collections than Spencer. "It's hard to compete with New York, where are there thousands of galleries and collections of the masses," Norris said, "but there are lot of interesting things going on here that deserve attention also. "We had a visiting curator from $^{72}$ England who was very impressed with our collections at Spencer. His laughter sparkling at all the things we had." John Wilson, curator of Western art at the museum, said he was pleased that Norris was chosen as director. Wilson also supports Norris' view of the museum's role as an educational tool. "Students go to the museum to learn," Wilson said. "We need to keep that in mind when we make acquisitions or plan exhibitions." Part of Norris' duties will include traveling to art shows to look for new exhibits, although she said most of her work was left to the individual curators. Spencer is funded by the University and federal grants. Norris also will undertake fund raising efforts to augment these movies. The museum has also hired Norris and Norris said these gifts were used primarily to finance special projects. "Having the traveling exhibitions helps financially because theyre not as expensive as actually buying the works," she said. Nornis said she enjoyed Lawrence and the University, because the atmosphere was similar to that of the Austin, Texas. "The people here are very friendly, and I like having the big city nearby," she said.
