Facts And Circumstances Test	PURSUANT TO TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(F)(3), THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST AS OUTLINED BELOW.TEN-PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT REQUIREMENT: PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "PEM") SATISFIES THIS REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES EXCEEDS 10% OF TOTAL SUPPORT. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT: THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER TO ATTRACT NEW AND BROAD-BASED PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. A STAFF OF SEVENTEEN DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING EXTENSIVE AND VARIED FORMS OF FUNDRAISING DESIGNED TO ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS. THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED INCLUDE SOLICITATIONS COMMUNICATED THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS - EMAIL, MAIL, PHONE AND IN-PERSON. FUNDRAISING EVENTS ARE CONDUCTED TO GENERATE ANNUAL SUPPORT AS WELL AS TO FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO FUTURE GIVING. THE INSTITUTIONAL GIVING STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEKING SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM'S MAJOR PROGRAMMATIC EFFORTS BY PRODUCING GRANT PROPOSALS DIRECTED TO BOTH GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. ACROSS ALL OF THESE FUNDRAISING AREAS, MORE THAN 57,000 PROSPECTS AND EXISTING DONORS WERE SOLICITED FOR SUPPORT DURING 2011, RESULTING IN APPROXIMATELY 9,500 GIFTS COMING FROM 9,300 DIFFERENT DONORS. OTHER PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS 1. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FACTOR: THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2012 IS 30.27%, WHICH IS WELL ABOVE THE 10% TEST THRESHOLD. AS THE MUSEUM IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF A MAJOR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, INDIVIDUAL SOLICITATIONS AND GIFTS TEND TO BE LARGER THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED DURING A NON-CAMPAIGN PERIOD WITH THE RESULTING IMPACT OF LOWERING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE. 2. SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR: THE COLLECTIONS OF THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE FOR 212 YEARS, WHICH RANKS IT AMONG THE FIRST AMERICAN MUSEUMS TO HAVE SUCH A PUBLIC MANDATE. THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM TRACES ITS ORIGINS TO 1799 WHEN A GROUP OF SALEM-BASED, INTERNATIONAL, SEA-GOING BUSINESS LEADERS WERE AMONG THE FIRST AMERICANS TO DEVELOP TRADING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNTRIES IN ASIA, AFRICA, OCEANIA AND BEYOND. THESE EARLY AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS BROUGHT BACK MAGNIFICENT ART AND ARTIFACTS FROM THE CULTURES THEY ENCOUNTERED AND WERE EAGER TO SHARE WHAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED WITH THE LARGER PUBLIC. ALTHOUGH MORE THAN 200 YEARS HAVE PASSED, THE MUSEUM'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS AS STRONG AS EVER. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE AMONG THE FINEST OF THEIR KIND AND ENCOMPASS AN UNRIVALED SPECTRUM OF CULTURES AND GENRE, INCLUDING AMERICAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, AMERICAN DECORATIVE ART, MARITIME ART, NATIVE AMERICAN ART, ASIAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, ASIAN EXPORT ART, AFRICAN ART, OCEANIC ART, PHOTOGRAPHY AND CONTEMPORARY ART. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM OPERATES THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY, ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM-BASED COLLECTIONS OF RARE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS. THE BREADTH OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS AND OFFERINGS IS UNQUESTIONABLY VARIED, SO THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF APPEALING TO A WIDE VARIETY OF INTERESTS, WHICH IN TURN HELPS TO BUILD ATTENDANCE, COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION, COMMITMENT AND PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE MUSEUM HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS FIELDS OF INTEREST; FOR EXAMPLE, CONTEMPORARY ART WAS ADDED AS NEW CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT IN 2009. CONTEMPORARY ART, IN PARTICULAR, IS ONE AVENUE FOR ENGAGING YOUNGER PEOPLE, THEREBY HELPING TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS AND SUPPORTERS. BY EXPANDING THE PROGRAMMATIC SCOPE, THE MUSEUM HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTING WITH A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE, RATHER THAN LIMITING ITS APPEAL TO A FEW. AS NOTED PREVIOUSLY, THE MUSEUM RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM APPROXIMATELY 9,300 DIFFERENT DONORS DURING 2011. 3. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR: DURING 2011, 24 INDIVIDUALS SERVED ON PEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL OF THE TRUSTEES ARE INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS AND REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF VIEWS AND INTERESTS. AMONG THE MUSEUM'S TRUSTEES ARE INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, FROM A LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADER IN SALEM TO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITIES, BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN INDIA. PEM'S BOARD INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE THEMSELVES COLLECTORS AND/OR EXPERTS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF ART, INCLUDING JAPANESE ART, RARE LIBRARY MATERIALS, AND DUTCH AND FLEMISH ART. TWO TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN OPERATING MUSEUMS - ONE AS A FORMER CURATOR AND ONE WHO OVERSEES A MUSEUM FOR CONTEMPORARY ART. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE MUSEUM'S BOARD HAVE INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, INCLUDING A FORMER UNIVERSITY EDUCATOR, A MUSEUM DOCENT, AND AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING AND OPERATING A FOUNDATION DEVOTED TO SUPPORTING K-12 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES. VARIOUS AREAS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ARE ALSO REPRESENTED BY NUMEROUS BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF REAL ESTATE, BUSINESS, JOURNALISM, LAW, INVESTING, LAND PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION. 4. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES FACTOR: DURING 2011, THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM REPORTED ALMOST 250,000 ON-SITE VISITORS, COMING FROM BOTH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE MAIN MUSEUM GALLERIES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SIX DAYS PER WEEK, WHICH REPRESENTS ALMOST 2,200 HOURS ANNUALLY DURING WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO THE VARIOUS COLLECTIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED. TO ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND WITH STUDENTS, ADMISSION IS FREE FOR RESIDENTS OF SALEM, MASSCHUSETTS AND FOR YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 17. THE MUSEUM'S CAMPUS ALSO INCLUDES NUMEROUS PARKS AND GARDENS, AND 24 HISTORIC PROPERTIES, INCLUDING YIN YU TANG, THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF CHINESE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE ON DISPLAY IN THE UNITED STATES. PEM'S PHILLIPS LIBRARY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LARGEST RESEARCH LIBRARIES IN NEW ENGLAND, IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS. ACROSS THE CAMPUS, THERE IS 123,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACE FOR USE IN DISPLAYING AND INTERPRETING THE MUSEUM'S VAST COLLECTIONS AND FOR PRESENTING CHANGING EXHIBITIONS, OF WHICH THERE WERE EIGHT OPENED DURING 2011. ANNUALLY, THE MUSEUM'S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND INTERPRETATION CONDUCTS HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE ARTS LEARNING AND APPRECIATION. ALTHOUGH THESE PROGRAMS ARE DELIVERED IN MANY SPACES THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS, THE MUSEUM HAS DEDICATED 13,000 SQUARE FEET SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PURPOSES. THE WIDE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS OFFERED IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND ENGAGE VISITORS OF ALL AGES WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, KNOWLEDGE, INTERESTS, PREFERENCES AND NEEDS. IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT A BROAD AUDIENCE IS SERVED, THE MUSEUM FOCUSES ON SEVERAL BROAD AUDIENCE CATEGORIES: K-12 STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES AND ADULTS FROM COLLEGE AGE THROUGH SENIOR CITIZENS.

PART III, LINE 1A:	THE COLLECTIONS, WHICH WERE ACQUIRED THROUGH PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS SINCE THE MUSEUM'S INCEPTION, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED. PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES ARE REFLECTED AS INCREASES IN THE APPROPRIATE NET ASSET CLASSES.

PART X:	THE MUSUEM ACCOUNTS FOR THE EFFECT OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS BASED ON A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE TAX POSITIONS BEING SUSTAINED BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION UNDER SCRUTINY BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY. IF A TAX POSITION OR POSITIONS ARE DEEMED TO RESULT IN UNCERTAINTIES OF THOSE POSITIONS, THE UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFIT IS ESTIMATED BASED ON A "CUMULATIVE PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT" THAT AGGREGATES THE ESTIMATED TAX LIABILITY FOR ALL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. INTEREST AND PENALTIES ASSESSED, IF ANY, ARE ACCRUED AS INCOME TAX EXPENSE. THE MUSEUM HAS IDENTIFIED ITS STATUS AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED TAX EXEMPT ENTITY AS ITS ONLY SIGNIFICANT POSITION AND HAS DETERMINED THAT SUCH POSITION DOES NOT RESULT IN AN UNCERTAINTY REQUIRING RECOGNITION. ITS FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE GENERALLY OPEN FOR EXAMINATION FOR THE THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF FILING OF THE RELATED RETURN.

APPROXIMATELY ONE-FIFTH OF GENERAL ADMISSION VISITORS ALSO VISITED YIN YU TANG, THE ONLY COMPLETE QING DYNASTY HOUSE OUTSIDE OF CHINA AND A MODEL IN INTERNATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION. THE MUSEUM'S 2011 EXHIBITION CALENDAR INCLUDED MANY STYLES AND SOURCES OF ART AND CULTURE. THE MUSEUM OPENED EIGHT NEW SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN 2011 AND CONTINUED SEVEN SHOWS THAT OPENED IN 2010, INCLUDING: - FACES OF DEVOTION, INDIAN SCULPTURE FROM THE FIGIEL COLLECTION (APRIL 10,2010 THROUGH JULY 15, 2012): THIS EXHIBITION CELEBRATES PEM'S ACQUISITION OF DR. LEO FIGIEL'S COLLECTION OF VERNACULAR INDIAN RELIGIOUS SCULPTURE FROM DIVERSE TRADITIONS ACROSS INDIA-THE COLLECTION IS RECOGNIZED AS THE FINEST OF ITS KIND IN EXISTENCE. WORKS RANGE OVER THE PAST MILLENNIUM, WITH MOST DATING FROM THE 16TH TO 19TH CENTURIES. MANY OF THESE BRONZES WERE MADE FOR HINDU RITUAL PRACTICE IN THE REGION THAT IS NOW THE STATES OF MAHARASHTRA AND KARNATAKA. - PAINTING THE MODERN IN INDIA (APRIL 10, 2010 THROUGH JUNE, 2012): SEVEN RENOWNED PAINTERS WHO CAME OF AGE DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE MOVEMENT TO FREE INDIA FROM BRITISH RULE PIONEERED NEW APPROACHES TO PAINTING, REPOSITIONING THEIR PRACTICES INTERNATIONALLY AND IN RELATION TO INDIA'S 5,000-YEAR HISTORY OF ART. THIS EXHIBITION FEATURED WORKS DRAWN FROM PEM'S HERWITZ COLLECTION, AMERICA'S MOST IMPORTANT HOLDING OF 20TH CENTURY INDIAN ART AND THE THE TINA AND ANIL AMBANI COLLECTION, ONE OF INDIA'S LEADING PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. - EYE SPY: PLAYING WITH PERCEPTION (JUNE 19, 2010 THROUGH MAY 22, 2011): EYE SPY PRESENTED 11 LEADING REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ARTISTS WHO FOCUS ON DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF PERCEPTION IN THEIR ART, INCLUDING VIEWS OF NATURE. THIS EXHIBITION EXPLORED HOW EACH OF THE ARTISTS USES FUNDAMENTALS OF PERCEPTION (E.G., LIGHT, FORM, COLOR, AND LINE) TO CREATE THEIR INNOVATIVE WORKS. VISITORS WERE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE WAYS IN WHICH PERCEPTION AND ILLUSION INFLUENCE THE WAY WE INTERPRET OUR WORLD THROUGH BOTH ARTWORKS AND RELATED INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES. - IMPRINTS: PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARK RUWEDEL (JUNE 5, 2010 THROUGH FEBRUARY 21, 2011): THIS EXHIBITION BROUGHT TOGETHER SPECTACULAR COLOR AND BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS OF DINOSAUR TRACKS AND ANCIENT HUMAN FOOTPATHS BY MARK RUWEDEL, ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S PRE-EMINENT CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHERS. COLLECTIVELY, THESE PICTURES RECORD CHANGES IN THE LAND OVER MILLENNIA, AND THE STRANGE AND WONDERFUL LOCATIONS IN WHICH PREHISTORIC EVIDENCE IS NOW FOUND. IN RUWEDEL'S PHOTOGRAPHS, FOOTPRINTS APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR INEXPLICABLY, DESCENDING INTO GORGES, CROSSING RIVERS, AND CIRCLING MOUNTAINS-MYSTERIOUS MEMENTOS OF PEOPLES AND ANIMALS FROM LONG AGO. RUWEDEL USES THE CAMERA TO DOCUMENT TRAVELS THROUGH THE LANDSCAPE - HIS OWN AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE FOOTPRINTS HE FINDS. HIS PHOTOGRAPHS ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO POIGNANT, RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PASSAGE OF TIME, THE EPHEMERAL NATURE OF EXISTENCE, AND THE NATURE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION. RUWEDEL'S PICTURES OF DINOSAUR TRACKS HAD NEVER BEEN SHOWN BEFORE JUST AS THE ANCIENT HUMAN FOOTPATHS THEMSELVES ARE SELDOM SEEN. - THE EMPEROR'S PRIVATE PARADISE: TREASURES FROM THE FORBIDDEN CITY (SEPTEMBER 11, 2010 THROUGH JANUARY 9, 2011): DURING HIS REIGN FROM 1736 TO 1796, CHINA'S QIANLONG EMPEROR WAS ONE OF THE RICHEST, MOST POWERFUL LEADERS IN THE WORLD AND ALSO A VISIONARY PATRON OF THE ARTS. THE ELEGANT, INTIMATE PALACE GARDEN COMPLEX THAT HE BUILT WITHIN THE FORBIDDEN CITY FOR HIS RETIREMENT, AS WELL AS THE MANY ARTWORKS HE COMMISSIONED FOR THE COMPLEX, WERE SEQUESTERED FROM PUBLIC VIEW SINCE THE LATE 1700S AND ARE NOW UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE CONSERVATION.

THE CHOICE SELECTION OF OBJECTS EXPRESSES THE EMPEROR'S DESIRE TO INTEGRATE ART, NATURE, AND ARCHITECTURE AS WELL AS ANCIENT CULTURAL VALUES AND NEW PERSPECTIVES IN AN EXQUISITELY CRAFTED PALACE GARDEN COMPLEX THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A MINI FORBIDDEN CITY AND A GEM AMONG EXISTING IMPERIAL CHINESE GARDENS. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF ITS RUN AT PEM, THIS EXHIBITION WILL TRAVEL TO TWO OTHER MAJOR AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS: THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, AND MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM. PEM ALSO PARTNERED WITH YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS TO CO-PUBLISH A MAJOR EXHIBITION CATALOG IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS EXHIBITION. - FREEPORT NO. 1: CHARLES SANDISON "FIGUREHEAD" (OCTOBER 1, 2010 THROUGH APRIL 24, 2011): FOR FREEPORT, PEM'S GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, SEVERAL ARTISTS WILL ANNUALLY CREATE WORKS IN DIALOGUE WITH THE MUSEUM, ITS COLLECTION AND ITS HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE. THE FIRST PROJECT WAS A MAJOR COMMISSION BY CHARLES SANDISON. RENOWNED FOR HIS ANIMATED DIGITAL TEXT PROJECTIONS IN DRAMATIC ARCHITECTURAL SETTINGS SUCH AS THE GRAND PALAIS IN PARIS, SANDISON CREATED "FIGUREHEAD," AN INSTALLATION FOR THE EAST INDIA MARINE HALL, THE MUSEUM'S ORIGINAL BUILDING AND HOME TO SOME OF THE EARLIEST WORKS IN THE COLLECTION. VISITORS WERE IMMERSED IN THE ANIMATED WORDS OF THE SEA CAPTAINS AND MERCHANTS RECORDED IN PEM'S EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF SHIPS' LOGS AND JOURNALS THAT MAKE VISIBLE THE TRADE ROUTES, POLITICS, COMPETITION, AND EMOTIONS THAT LED TO THE MUSEUM'S FOUNDING AND PEM'S GLOBAL COLLECTION. - WRITTEN ON THE WAVES, SHIPBOARD JOURNALS AND LOGBOOKS (OCTOBER 2, 2010 THROUGH JULY 15, 2012): THIS EXHIBITION ENCOURAGED VISITORS TO DELVE INTO THE WORLD OF MARITIME MANUSCRIPTS AS WORKS TO BE APPRECIATED AS AESTHETIC OBJECTS, STORYTELLERS, AND TOUCHSTONES OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED A RANGE OF MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY COLLECTION, INCLUDING EXAMPLES FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND EARLY SALEM VOYAGES TO ASIA, AS WELL AS BY CAPTAIN'S WIVES AND CHILDREN. - GOLDEN: DUTCH AND FLEMISH MASTERWORKS FROM THE ROSE-MARIE AND EIJK VAN OTTERLOO COLLECTION (FEBRUARY 26, 2011 THROUGH JUNE 19, 2011): SIXTY-SEVEN PAINTINGS FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED COLLECTION OF ROSE-MARIE AND EIJK VAN OTTERLOO ILLUMINATE ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL CHAPTERS IN HISTORY. THE COLLECTION INCLUDES MASTERWORKS BY THE LEADING DUTCH AND FLEMISH ARTISTS OF THE PERIOD: REMBRANDT, FRANS HALS, JACOB VAN RUISDAEL, JAN BRUEGHEL THE ELDER, ALBERT CUYP, GERRIT DOU, WILLEM (CLAESZ) HEDA, NICHOLAS MAES, JAN STEEN, AND MANY OTHERS. AN EMERGING MERCHANT CLASS IN THE NETHERLANDS PATRONIZED THESE ARTISTS, ANNOUNCING BOTH THEIR NATIONAL PRIDE AND ARTISTIC AWARENESS THROUGH THE BROAD RANGE OF IMAGERY IN THE PAINTINGS THEY ACQUIRED-THE TURMOIL AND TRANQUILITY OF THE SEA, PROSPEROUS CITIES AND VILLAGES, THE FERTILE DUTCH COUNTRYSIDE IN ALL ITS GRANDEUR, INTIMATE STILL LIFES, PORTRAITS, AND SCENES OF DAILY LIFE. AT PEM, APPROXIMATELY 15 EXAMPLES OF SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY DUTCH AND FLEMISH FURNITURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS, ALSO FROM THE VAN OTTERLOO COLLECTION, ACCOMPANIED THESE GLORIOUS PAINTINGS. - FREEPORT NO. 2: MARIANNE MUELLER "ANY HOUSE IS A HOME" (MARCH 26, 2011 THROUGH MARCH 4, 2012): SINCE HER EARLY TWENTIES, SWISS ARTIST MARIANNE MUELLER HAS BEEN MAKING A PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE OF HER LIFE COMPRISED OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PHOTOGRAPHS, EACH REPRESENTING A MOMENT OF EXPERIENCE OR REVELATION. IN HER ART, MUELLER COMBINES SEEMINGLY UNRELATED IMAGERY FROM HER ARCHIVE IN PROVOCATIVE WAYS. THIS INSTALLATION COMBINED HER PHOTOGRAPHS WITH SELECTIONS FROM PEM'S COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND AMERICAN DECORATIVE ARTS. MUELLER IS A LEADING FIGURE IN EUROPEAN PHOTOGRAPHY, AND THIS EXHIBITION REPRESENTED HER AMERICAN MUSEUM DEBUT.
		- FREEPORT NO. 3: SUSAN PHILLIPSZ (MAY 7, 2011 THROUGH NOVEMBER 6, 2011): SUSAN PHILLIPSZ, THE 2010 TURNER PRIZE WINNING ARTIST, CREATES SOUND INSTALLATIONS THAT EXPLORE WAYS IN WHICH THE EMOTIVE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SONG ALTER A LISTENER'S PERCEPTION OF PLACE AND TIME. WHILE SHE HAS USED A WIDE RANGE OF SOUND SOURCES, MOST OF HER WORK IS BASED ON RECORDINGS OF HER SINGING ANTHEMS, FOLK MUSIC, OR POP SONGS A CAPPELLA. PHILLIPSZ CREATED A NEW EIGHT-CHANNEL AUDIO INSTALLATION FOR PEM'S EAST INDIA MARINE HALL. HER VOICE WAS PROJECTED THROUGH AN ARRAY OF SPEAKERS INSTALLED TO ARTICULATE THE SOCIAL AND SPATIAL QUALITIES OF THE SPACE. HEARING HER DISEMBODIED VOICE IN SETTINGS WHERE SUCH AN INTIMATE EXPERIENCE IS UNEXPECTED SET UP A TENSION BETWEEN THE LISTENER'S PRIVATE MEMORIES AND THE COMMUNAL ASSOCIATIONS OF SONG. A PERSONAL REVERIE COULD BE CONNECTED TO SHARED AND EVEN COLLECTIVE MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENT. - MAN RAY \| LEE MILLER: PARTNERS IN SURREALISM (JUNE 11, 2011 THROUGH DECEMBER 4, 2011): THIS EXHIBITION BROUGHT TOGETHER WORKS MADE BY TWO GIANT FIGURES IN EUROPEAN SURREALISM: THE PAINTER, SCULPTOR, AND PHOTOGRAPHER MAN RAY, AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER LEE MILLER. FROM 1929-1932, THE TWO LIVED TOGETHER IN PARIS, FIRST AS TEACHER AND STUDENT, AND LATER AS LOVERS. THEIR MERCURIAL RELATIONSHIP RESULTED IN SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL WORK OF EACH ARTIST'S CAREER, AND HELPED SHAPE THE COURSE OF MODERN ART. BRINGING TOGETHER UNIQUE AND VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS, PAINTINGS, SCULPTURE, AND DRAWINGS PRIMARILY FROM THE LEE MILLER ESTATE IN ENGLAND, THE EXHIBITION TOLD THE STORY OF THE ARTISTS' BRIEF BUT IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION. HISTORICALLY, MILLER HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS MAN RAY'S MUSE, BUT "PARTNERS IN SURREALISM" REVEALED HOW THE ARTISTS INSPIRED EACH OTHER EQUALLY, COLLABORATING ON NUMEROUS WORKS, AND ALSO EXAMINED THE LINGERING EFFECT EACH HAD ON THE OTHER'S ART. THE WORKS HAVE RARELY BEEN SEEN IN THE UNITED STATES. CONNECTING PHOTOGRAPHY WITH OTHER MEDIA, THE EXHIBITION CELEBRATED HOW THE SURREALISTS COMBINED IMAGERY IN UNEXPECTED WAYS, CREATING EXTRAORDINARY FEATS OF IMAGINATION. IT ALSO SHOWED HOW THE THEMES OF LOVE, LUST, AND DESIRE DROVE THE ART OF THE SURREALISTS. - RIPPLE EFFECT, THE ART OF H2O (JUNE 18, 2011 THROUGH JULY 8, 2012): WATER SERVES AS INSPIRATION, CREATIVE MATERIAL AND METAPHOR FOR LIFE. WATER IN ITS DIFFERENT STATES (AS A GAS, A LIQUID, AND A SOLID) HAS UNIQUE PROPERTIES FOR ARTISTIC EXPLORATION. WE, AS HUMANS, ARE MADE UP OF IT AND EVOLVED OUT OF IT. WITHOUT WATER, LIFE COULD NOT EXIST, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF CLEAN FRESHWATER IS AN INCREASINGLY LIMITED RESOURCE. WARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FOUGHT OVER WATER AND CREDIBLE AUTHORITIES ASSERT WORLD DEMAND FOR IT WILL EXCEED SUPPLY BY OVER 50% IN JUST 15 YEARS. THROUGH ARTWORK AND VARIED INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES, VISITORS ENCOUNTERED WATER IN ITS DIFFERENT STATES, DISCOVERING ITS ALLURE TO ARTISTS, ITS REMARKABLE PROPERTIES, AND ITS INCREASING VULNERABILITY. - PAINTING THE AMERICAN VISION (JULY 30, 2011 THROUGH NOVEMBER 6, 2011): IN THE MID-1800S A LOOSELY KNIT GROUP OF AMERICAN ARTISTS-NOW KNOWN AS THE HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL-AS WELL AS POETS AND WRITERS, FORGED A SELF-CONSCIOUSLY "AMERICAN" LANDSCAPE VISION. THIS VISION WAS GROUNDED IN THE EXPLORATION OF THE NATURAL WORLD AS A RESOURCE FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL AND AS AN EXPRESSION OF CULTURAL AND NATIONAL IDENTITY. DRAWN FROM THE EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THIS EXHIBITION FEATURED 45 CELEBRATED MASTERPIECES OF AMERICAN LANDSCAPE PAINTING, INCLUDING THOMAS COLE'S ICONIC SERIES OF MONUMENTAL PAINTINGS, "THE COURSE OF THE EMPIRE," AND WORKS BY ALBERT BIERSTADT, FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH, JASPER FRANCIS CROPSEY, ASHER B. DURAND, SANFORD ROBINSON GIFFORD, THOMAS HILL, GEORGE INNESS, JOHN FREDERICK KENSETT, AND FRANCIS SILVA. - FREEPORT NO. 4: PETER HUTTON "AT SEA" (JULY 30, 2011 THROUGH JULY 2012): A FILM MAKER AND MERCHANT SEAMAN, PETER HUTTON HAS SPENT NEARLY 40 YEARS VOYAGING AROUND THE WORLD, OFTEN BY CARGO SHIP. HE CREATES MEDITATIVE, LUMINOUSLY PHOTOGRAPHED FILM STUDIES OF PLACES-FROM THE YANGTZE RIVER TO THE POLISH INDUSTRIAL CITY OF LODZ, AND FROM THE FJORD VALLEY AND COASTLINE OF NORTHERN ICELAND TO THE SHIP GRAVEYARD ON THE BANGLADESHI SHORE. HIS BACKGROUND IN MARITIME SERVICE AND THE ART AND LITERATURE OF SEAFARING, AS WELL AS EASTERN AND WESTERN PAINTERLY TRADITIONS, INSPIRE HIS WORK. THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS EXHIBITION-HIS FILM AT SEA (2007)-DEPICTS THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CONTAINER SHIP FROM MECHANIZED CONSTRUCTION IN MODERN KOREAN SHIPYARDS, ITS JOURNEY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, TO ITS DEMISE VIA SHIP BREAKERS IN BANGLADESH. THE TITLE OF THE FILM EVOKES A LOSS OF PERSPECTIVE, A METAPHOR BORN OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WAY A SEA JOURNEY STRIPS US OF OUR USUAL MEASURES OF SCALE, TIME AND DISTANCE, SOMETHING THAT MARITIME ARTISTS HAVE LONG STRUGGLED TO DEPICT. THE FILM'S SHIFTS IN SCALE RESONATED WITH A COMPARISON INSTALLATION OF MODELS BUILT EITHER AS PHYSICAL EMBODIMENTS OF A SHIP'S DESIGN OR AS TESTAMENTS TO A VESSEL. THESE FULL AND HALF-HULL SHIP MODELS WERE DRAWN FROM THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM'S WORLD-RENOWNED COLLECTION OF MARITIME ART. - UNBOUND, HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY COLLECTION (NOVEMBER 12, 2011 THROUGH JULY 15, 2012): THE FOUNDERS OF THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY AT PEM WERE BIBLIOPHILES WHO AMASSED ONE OF THE GREAT COLLECTIONS IN THE WORLD. THEY WERE ALSO THE FOUNDERS OF THE EAST INDIA MARINE SOCIETY, WHOSE DESIRE TO GATHER DIVERSE OBJECTS FROM THE NORTHWEST COAST OF AMERICA, ASIA AND ELSEWHERE LED TO TODAY'S PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM. THIS EXHIBITION REPRESENTED THE FIRST TIME THAT WORKS OF ART AND CULTURE FROM THE LIBRARY WERE ON VIEW. THE THREE-DOZEN WORKS PRESENTED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE AMONG THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY'S MOST APPEALING, BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT. THE RANGE OF OBJECTS DEFIED CATEGORIZATION - FRAGILE PEEPAL LEAVES PAINTED WITH BIRDS, A HAND-DRAWN ANTISLAVERY MAP WITH COMMENTARY, EXQUISITE SAMPLES OF HANDMADE FRENCH LACE, A SIGNED FIRST EDITION OF NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE'S SCARLET LETTER AND MUCH MORE.
