#NowOnView We decided to mix it up in our Barclay Gallery by highlighting #MissouriArtists!
🤩 Thomas Baker King was a talented, witty artist whose work was primarily shared with friends and not exhibited publicly during his lifetime. He spent his career working as an insurance underwriter, and he and his wife were an active presence in the mid-century Kansas City arts and social scene. Many of his works are sharp observations of the fashion, conversations, and minutia of the business world. 💃🥂 See it now at the #AKMA!

🎤IN THEIR OWN WORDS…
Thanks to Peregrine Honig, Calvin Arsenia, and Cynthia Herrington for speaking about their film “Summer in Hindsight” today in the AKMA Auditorium.

About the concept:
“It looks like we traveled all over the world to shoot this movie. But those are right here in Kansas City. The Nelson-Atkins, the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, Powell Gardens. You never get to shoot like that.” - Peregrine Honig

“What did that feel like that first morning when we weren’t allowed to leave the house? I want this film to feel different with each viewing. We’ll look back on it and feel different about each time we watch it. We can laugh about it now, but it’s not so funny.” - Calvin Arsenia

“How do we create a scene using this space? Using the wardrobe, using the light, and using this tunnel. We were able to alter the scenes—a visual gag.” -Cynthia Herrington

What the audience said…
“Thank you for making this into an artistic thing—in this weird time that we all lived though. Calvin, wow. I knew I trusted where it was going to go. It’s was not only a visual piece of art, it was also a showcase of this incredible time in history.” - audience member

“I thought it was a feast for the eyes, but I also enjoyed the music.” - audience member
