  • Materializing Blackness: the Politics and Production of African Diasporic
    A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree by Examining Committee Members: ABSTRACT “Materializing Blackness: The Politics and Production of African Diasporic Heritage” examines how intellectual and civic histories collide with the larger trends in the arts and culture sector and the local political economy to produce exhibitions at the African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) and structure the work that museum exhibitions do to produce race visually for various audiences. Black museums are engaged in the social construction of race through their exhibitions and programs: selecting historical facts, objects and practices, and designating them as heritage for and to their audiences. In tracking this work, I am interested in 1) the assemblages of exhibits that are produced, as a function of 2) the internal logics of the producing institutions and 3) larger forces that structure the field as a whole. Looking at exhibits that engage Blackness, I examine how heritage institutions use art and artifacts to visually produce race, how their audiences consume it, and how the industry itself is produced as a viable consumptive market. Undergirded by the ways anthropologists of race and ethnicity have been explored and historicized race as a social construction I focus on an instantiation of the ways race is constructed in real time in the museum. This project engages deeply with inquiries about the social construction of race and Blackness, such as: how is Blackness

  • The Art Collection Of
    The Art Collection of Dear Colleagues, Over the past several years the Wharton School, with input from our faculty, students and staff have expanded the school's art collection. Many of the pieces, in support of Philadelphia and its arts culture, were purchased from local galleries and depict local scenes. As the collection evolved, several works by University of Pennsylvania Alumni were included and its scope broadened to include mixed media works as well as international artists. This catalogue is intended to serve as a summary of the works collected to date. We hope you find inspiration and enjoyment in the collection.

  • Conceptualizing African-American Art: the Market, Academic Discourse and Public Reception
    CONCEPTUALIZING AFRICAN-AMERICAN ART: THE MARKET, ACADEMIC DISCOURSE AND PUBLIC RECEPTION Shawnya L. Harris A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Art Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Lyneise E. Williams John P. Bowles Jan Hannig Carol Magee Hans Van Miegroet © 2012 Shawnya L. Harris ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT SHAWNYA L. HARRIS: Conceptualizing African-American Art: The Market, Academic Discourse and Public Reception (Under the direction of Dr. Lyneise E. Williams) The concept of an ‘African-American art market’ presents a new field of scholarly inquiry. However, objects labeled and fashioned as ‘African American art’ allude to a broader visual culture composed of objects, buyers, sellers and critics than previously acknowledged in scholarly literature. This dissertation will provide a nuanced picture of how an ‘African-American art market’ has been conceptualized and how this understanding reflects a complex web of tensions and relationships between objects, consumers, sellers and even scholars and critics of the work. Since the current literature on the field of African- American art provides only scant attention to the consumption of African-American art and virtually nothing about its place in the art market, this study will demonstrate how art historians could critically interpret African-American art in relation to market dynamics through an investigation of art related publications, oral interviews, public display venues. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The undertaking of writing a dissertation is a complex one in concept, process and completion, yet not without the involvement of several players, who may or may not know the power of their influence on this work and hopefully more work to come.

It is the world’s preeminent resource dedicated to collecting and preserving the papers and primary records of the visual arts in the United States. Constantly growing in range and depth, and ever increasing in its accessibility, it is a vibrant, unparalleled, and essential resource for the appreciation, enjoyment, and understanding of art in America. 5 Our History In a 1954 letter from then director of the Detroit Institute of Arts Edgar P. Richardson to Lawrence A. Fleischman, Richardson poses a question: “Do you realize what a big thing you have done in starting the Archives [of American Art]? I know you do. But do you? It is enormous in its implications; enormous!” Richardson and Fleischman, a Detroit businessman and an active young collector, had founded the Archives earlier that year.

As an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania I took drawing and color theory courses with the landscape painter Neil Welliver who had studied at Yale with Joseph Albers. These courses stayed with me during the many years when I was painting on my own while working as an architect. A raft trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in 2006 provided a transcendent experience of the elemental forces of the American West: water, rock, sunshine and stars. My water colors from this trip, painted with river water, have grit in their surface. Following a workshop with Judy Tuwaletstiwa at Santa Fe Art Institute, I began at her suggestion to use oil sticks on canvas and to work at a much larger scale. My training as an architect seemed to make the idea of painting with an oil stick, which is like a large crayon, feel natural and familiar. It is in effect drawing with paint. The landscape of the West continues to be an inspiration, but curiously in this dry environment I have become interested in water. In the past two years I have experimented with ways of representing the character of water, sometimes employing cut out shapes for depth and tin for reflection.
