Nancy Jones: "We are using the language of what we call the 'friendly expert."' explains Myers, who helps recognize creative accomplishments as a mem- ber of the Maas Prize Committee for the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. "The new chronological flow physi- cally communicates the sense that the United States was becoming increas- ingly big, wealthy and culturally ambitious over the course of the 19th century" In the American suite, the electronic interactive has to do with the 19th- century Aesthetic Movement as people began to stress the importance of liv- ing with beautiful things. The program shows three mansions and allows viewers to select objects presented in black and white and then see color reproductions or similar objects. Museum visitors familiar with the American works will view a new acquisition found by Myers — a huge Renaissance revival cabinet built by the Pottier & Stymus firm for the 1876 World's Fair in Philadelphia. The cabinet previously was owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City "I think of curatorship as a kind of teaching by other means," says Myers, who has taught at Middlebury College in Vermont and worked as a curator at the Metropolitan and at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. "The reinterpreta- tion of the collection allowed us to put together very teachable groupings of objects!' Nancy Jones, director of education and a DIA employee for 25 years, met with visitor committees to help with presentation and programming chang- es. Her responsibilities include altering Barbara Heller: "The DIA has hundreds upon hun- dreds of works by Jewish artists throughout the galleries." text accompanying the artworks and scheduling children's activities. "We see our role as the bridge between the visitor and the art',' says Jones, who has taught art history at Wayne State University in Detroit. "We want to help visitors engage in direct experiences with the works. "We are no longer using academic language in our text. We are using the language of what we call the 'friendly expert." Jones, who attended the Jewish Parents Institute while growing up and worked at Camp Tamarack, will be offering more Sunday afternoon family programs. The idea is to avoid interfer- ing with the Jewish Sabbath or Sunday morning church services. "We still have lots of Friday night and Saturday programs, but the family thrust has moved:' she explains. "Every Sunday, we're going to have some kind of family performance or activity. There will be puppet shows, storytell- ing and workshops. "We are trying to make the museum experience fun without losing what we are as a museum.
