For the first time, a major exhibition is devoted

For the first time, a major exhibition is devoted to the art of clubs in Oceania and looks at the many facets of exceptional yet little-known and often misjudged ethnographic objects, curated by Steven Hooper.
The exhibition is organised by the Fondazione Giancarlo Ligabue in Venice and the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris.

This picture was made during the opening of the new exhibition of the Quai Branly.

One more teasing about our important exhibition of Oceanic war clubs which will take place in the fall at the Galerie in Paris.
The sculpture shown here is an exceptional, ancient example of U’u club from Polynesia. Carol S. Ivory notes in “Adorning the World: Art of the Marquesas Islands” (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2005) that « warfare was an integral part of Marquesan life. Weapons included slings, spears and war clubs made of ironwood, a heavy, dense wood the Marquesans called toa, which was also the word for warrior. One type of club, the u'u, and effective weapon in hand to hand combat, also served as a symbol of prestige for chiefs and warriors. »

The new exhibition at the Quai Branly Museum also features several similar examples of U’u clubs.
