M AY 2 0 1 6 3 7 Isnt that FromtopcourtesyogunquitmuseumoFAmericAnArtinsetdAvidwAdesleepinggirlbywAlterKuhncourtesyomAA Shape Shifterandy Verzosa a familiar face of the local art scene on returning to Maine for a new challenge. InterVIew by sarah Moore T he Ogunquit Museum of Amer- ican Art recently appointed First Friday art walk founder and for- mer owner of Aucocisco Gallery An- dres Azucena Verzosa as Interim Exec- utive Director and Curator. We catch up with the Portland native to discuss his new role upcoming projects and what he misses most about living in Maine. Congratulations on your new position. Easy choice Yes. Ive served on the board for the OMAA for a number of years as well as various collaborations from coordinating the acquisition of Bernard Langlais sculp- tures for the museum garden to guest cu- rating last years photography exhibitions. Im also back and forth between Maine and Connecticut regularly so it was a very natural step for me to accept the position. What does the interim role entail My aim is to ensure the smoothing run- ning of the museum and its collections across all levels. Specifically maintaining continuity between Ron Crusan and the new director who Ill also be helping to prepare to take over. Whats grabbing you this very second Im already excited to oversee the installa- tion of a permanent collection of works by artists from the Ogunquit arts colony be- tween 1896-1946. The fact that we have such a strong body of work that were able to es- tablish a permanent collection is testament to how much of an inspiration Ogunquit was for so many artists. Its such a dynam- ic place and the historic aspect of the proj- ect is exciting for me. What painting here whispers to you WaltKuhnsSleepingGirl1922.Theenigmat- ic subject and use of tilted picture plane and cubistspacecreateamodernistmasterwork. Youre now based out of Connecticut. What do you miss about living in Portland Walking the peninsula taking the ferry to Peaks Island meeting old friends at one of Portlands many excellent coffee shops. n The Ogunquit Museum of American Art 2016 season runs May 1-October 31. ogunquitmuseum.org
