Today, we have an interview with Kolin Perry about the new exhibit at Nevada Museum of Art called End of the Range: Charlotte Skinner in the Eastern Sierra.
Charlotte B. Skinner (1879-1963) was an artist and educator living in the Eastern Sierra of California from 1905 to 1933. Skinner counted herself among the artistic circles of renowned photographers and artists of the West. Her home became a retreat and a site of inspiration for these artists and others who were passing through Owens Valley seeking new subject matter and like-minded creatives. This exhibition features original paintings and drawings of the Eastern Sierra by Charlotte B. Skinner. It also includes works by artist-friends including Dorothea Lange, Maynard Dixon, Roi Partridge, Sonya Noskowiak, Ralph Stackpole, and William Wendt, along with Panamint Shoshone baskets from her own personal collection.
Kolin Perry is the curatorial assistant at the Nevada Museum of Art, where he has worked since 2022. Previously he worked at museums and art organizations on the east and west coasts. He received a bachelors in art history and photography, and a masters in art education from Lesley University. As a museum professional, Kolin is interested in exploring mindfulness-based stress reduction in museums and gallery settings.Kolin's recent research includes exploring queer semiotics in the 1970s Castro District, as well as Native American basket weaving practices in California.
