''A tongue-in-cheek name for the breezy sounds of late '70s/early '80s soft rock'' is Pandora's definition, accompanied by an exhortation to ''put on your Dockers, pull up a deck chair and relax.'' With a single exception, the passengers aboard the yacht were all dudes.

  • Kenya (Robinson) and Running from May 11 Through June 30, 2013
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A 50 Orange Street (corner of Orange & Crown) New Haven, CT 06510 http://artspacenh.org Phone – 203.772.2709 Email – [email protected] ‘Toonskin: May 11–Jun 30, 2013 Artspace is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, ‘Toonskin, organized by artist Kenya (Robinson) and running from May 11 through June 30, 2013. An opening reception will be held on May 11, 2013 from 5:00–8:00 PM. Sequential art holds an important place in the development of American myth making and within this sphere the caricature of Blackness has a long animated history. Tom and Jerry, the best of enemies, present a compelling model for the complex relationship between Blacks and whites, while the minstrel underpinnings of Mickey Mouse offer a glimpse into the convoluted histories that inform American pop culture. The symbiotic relationship between early animation and Jazz emphasizes the American-ness of Black identity, codified by the likes of Betty Boop, Coal Black, and The Sebben Dwarves. Bugs Bunny is a direct descendant of the irrepressible Br’er Rabbit, while the Road Runner series freely samples tenets from trickster folklore of the African Diaspora. Even “The Man of Steel,” the preeminent figure of comic book superheroism, bears traces of John Henry, the original “Steel Drivin’ Man.” Often acting as the foil to the main characters or, in the case of Felix the Cat, serving as the inspirational touchstone for design and mannerisms, these representations are ultimately limiting in nature. ‘Toonskin attempts to perforate and expand these limits by bringing together contemporary visual artists who reinterpret, recreate, and redefine Blackness—and otherness more generally—within an animated context.

PHOTOs: ALEX VILLALUZ Our first significant encounter was in the nature of a blind date. That was twenty years ago before IM, Skype or Facebook. I was combing The New Times classifieds searching for a job teaching art, as I had recently graduated after two years in art school, received my green card, and was eager to become a documented taxpayer. Moving from ad to ad, my eyes stopped on a call from the Bronx River Restoration Project for an art counselor for its summer program for children. At the time the Bronx was a place I had visited sporadically, so traveling by train from the Upper West Side, where I lived, to Fordham Road was in some ways no more than an urban excursion outside of the “center” and into the margins of “The City.” The job I found in the classifieds was mine for $8.00 an hour. Yet this was a deal that would eventually transcend its nature as simply employment to mark the beginning of my love affair with the only borough in New York City that is part of the continental United States. In 2004 I moved permanently from Manhattan (where I ended up after emigrating in 1991 from the Dominican Republic) to the mainland, the Bronx.
