Through September 14, 2008. Explores the wedding as a source of inspiration for the creation of art in cultures around the world. Featuring approximately 130 objects, this ambitious exhibition presents work by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Claes Oldenburg and Jacob Lawrence alongside historic and couture gowns, ceremonial items and rare jewelry. The complex beliefs and emotions surrounding the matrimonial experience are reflected in three centuries of art and culture from the United States, Asia, Africa and Europe. The full spectrum of the matrimonial experience - from courtship, engagement, and pre-nuptial arrangements to wedding rituals, ceremonies, and anniversaries - is richly represented.

Through December 7, 2008. Bombay has served as home and vibrant inspiration for many artists, including Atul Dodiya, M.F. Husain, Bhupen Khakhar, Nalini Malani, Gieve Patel, and Sudhir Patwardhan - artists well-represented in the Museum's contemporary Indian art collection. This exhibition features works from the Herwitz collection and a dynamic installation in the Atrium by Bose Krishnamachari of video-enhanced tiffin carriers (Bombay's famous and ubiquitous lunch-boxes). 978-745-9500 or www.pem.org -

February 2, 2008 through January 25, 2009. Japanese Kabuki Theater presents a stunning selection of woodblock prints, including works from PEM's collection on view for the first time. Produced as promotional materials for the immensely popular kabuki theater of 18th- and 19th-century Japan, the colorful prints illustrate the dramatic expressions and stylish kimono of its star actors. The exhibition features a selection of 19th-century prints - including works by famed print designer Utagawa Kunisada - as well as a rare collection of objects associated with kabuki, such as costumes, photographs and sign-boards. 978-745-9500 -
10:00am
February 23, 2008 through February 1, 2009. This exhibition features moko, the Maori art of facial or body tattooing, and includes stunning images by Dutch-born photographer Hans Neleman. Maori moko are distinguished by their expressions of identity - personal, social and tribal. Dating back hundreds of years, the art form is undergoing a resurgence as New Zealand's Maori reassert their cultural tradition. The exhibition of approximately 20 large format images invites an exploration of aspects of Maori design, inspiration and contemporary culture. www.pem.org -
10:00am
Through May 7 17, 2009. Chinese culture is diverse, longstanding and ever-changing. Yet common ties unite. This exhibition offers an approach to understanding Chinese culture through a study and celebration of the aesthetics of Chinese art. Objects included reveal key aesthetic clues that define the art of China, and distinguish it from art produced by neighboring regions, or art made in China for the export market. These aesthetic standards prevailed with the passing of time and foreign influences. Ultimately they are a testament to the power of art. The exhibition features 30 objects that date from the Neolithic era to 2004 in a range of media including paintings, jade, textiles, porcelain and prints. www.pem.org -

Community Sing with Bill and Sarah Smith. Do you like to sing for pleasure? Do you enjoy learning songs with good choruses? Bill and Sarah Smith, once dubbed "... Salem's First Couple of Folk" (by John Rockwell), want to share the intense pleasure of heartily singing together with anyone who is interested. At first, Bill and Sarah are prepared to be song leaders, bringing songs collected from their many years of community singing, but hope that in time others will offer to lead songs in more of a "round robin" format. Interested? Please do come and be ready to "...make the rafters ring!" Cornerstone Books, 45 Lafayette Street, Salem, 978-744-1831

The Athenaeum and the Salem Marine Society jointly present Eric Jay Dolin, author of the celebrated Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America who will give a fascinating lecture and slide presentation. Bruce Barcott of The New York Times states, "Leviathan is an exhaustive, richly detailed history of industrial American whaling... Dolin succeeds admirably at what he sets out to do: tell the story of one of the strangest industries in American history." And Nathaniel Philbrick (last year’s Adams Lecturer) praises the book as "The best history of American whaling to come along in a generation." Leviathan has been selected as one of the best non-fiction books published in 2007. It received the 23rd annual L. Byrne Waterman Award by the New Bedford Whaling Museum in 2007 for outstanding contributions to whaling research. Eric Jay Dolin studied environmental policy at Yale University and MIT, where he received his Ph.D. He has written extensively on the marine world. Employed by the National Marine Fisheries Service, he lives in Marblehead. Tickets are $10, $5 for members of the Athenaeum and Salem Marine Society. Event is held at The Salem Athenaeum, 337 Essex Street, Salem MA 01970, 978-744-2540. -

A fine singer from Massachusetts, made a strong impression a few years ago with his debut CD, Something To Say. While that set emphasizes his interpretations of jazz standards, recently Gallo has been branching out into performing newer material that reflects his interest in naturally combining aspects of r&b, soul, pop and jazz. "I love the idea of putting it all together, with bluesy gospellish music meeting more contemporary pop jazz and some rock n roll attitude for good measure. I think that good music does not have to be categorized and I love mixing together styles." For more information, visit our web site or call 978-745-7665. Lyceum Bar & Grill, 43 Church Street, Salem.
