This collaborative effort is the initiative of concerned members of the Jamaican Art community who are responding to not only the physical devastation of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on the 12 th of January 2010 but also to the cultural and economic losses. Many are aware of the physical destruction and loss of life that occurred as there has been widespread coverage in the media. Less attention has been paid to the devastation to Haiti’s cultural sector but the Haitian art world suffered great losses in the earthquake. Museums and art galleries were extensively damaged, among them Port-au-Prince's historic Centre d'Art, which in the mid 20 th century launched Haitian art into the international arena. The Haitian art collection at the College de Saint Pierre was also devastated, as were the famous murals of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The devastation has also affected the artists’ collectives of the Haitian capital, most of which operate in the inner-cities and provide much- needed income for the artists and their communities. In Jamaica, much effort has already gone into providing support to the emergency response in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. The focus now needs to shift to the long term economic and infrastructural recovery for Haiti. As stakeholders in the Jamaican art world, we feel compelled to assist the Haitian artistic community with its recovery. The proceeds of this benefit sale and auction will therefore support the reconstruction and revival of the Centre d'Art, and the sculptors' collective of the Grand Rue inner city community, which had in December 2009 hosted the Ghetto Biennale in which Jamaica’s Ebony Patterson participated. A portion of the proceeds will also go to the upcoming residency of nine Haitian artists, including three Grand Rue sculptors, at the Roktowa studio facility in West Kingston. Our Haiti benefit takes the form of an art sale and auction to be conducted by the Edna Manley Foundation and hosted by the National Gallery of Jamaica. The auction and sale include a variety of art works, including several Haitian pieces and Jamaican work by artists ranging from Edna Manley College students to some of Jamaica’s best known masters, in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramic and photography. The Art A[u]ction for Haiti Committee thanks those artists and collectors who have consigned works to this auction, especially those who have made outright contributions or reduced their commission. We also thank the many individuals and companies that have supported this project with weeks of hard work and in-kind contributions – they are credited elsewhere in this catalogue. We look forward to your support of this very worthwhile initiative and to making a tangible contribution to Haiti’s recovery. 2 1. Levoy Exil 5.

    Iamaica Gleaner Online Artist of the people's world (Pt 1) publ¡shed: Sunday I Novembor 18,2007 Cooper Alexander Cooper is an artist living and working at Cooper's Hill, St. Andrew. Today, he drscusse s his work with Jonathan Greenland, executive director of the National Gallery. You are famous as a painter of the Jamaican people, is this important to you? I do like the grassroots. I like to draw my people in their settings: Their settings in terms of the homes that they live in, the lifestyles that they lead and their attire. When I started I I found this the most interesting material and l'm still doing it. I like to portray my people in their natural setting, for example, a Jamaican market scene is always a high- ' , colourful visual spectacle. For the past three years I have been painting old Jamaican churches. How do you go about making your paintings? Most of the subjects are outdoors and look to be painted from life. Well, I would say they are painted from life in the sense they are based on observation at the scene. Some of these events like carnival and festival I am always present at them. I can stand to one side and observe the colour and the pageantry and then almost paint from memory. A good example is one of the first works I did - it won the first prize at the lnstitute of Jamaica in 1962. lt is a painting of Port Royal and now it is at the NationalGallery. I got 100 pounds for it.

    Visual Art as a Window for Studying the Caribbean Compiled and introduced by Peter B. Jordens Curaçao: August 26, 2012 The present document is a compilation of 20 reviews and 36 images1 of the visual-art exhiBition Caribbean: Crossroads of the World that is Being held Between June 12, 2012 and January 6, 2013 at three cooperating museums in New York City, USA. The remarkaBle fact that Crossroads has (to date) merited no fewer than 20 fairly formal art reviews in various US newspapers and on art weBlogs can Be explained By the terms of praise in which the reviews descriBe the exhiBition: “likely the most expansive art event of the summer (p. 20 of this compilation), the summer’s BlockBuster exhiBition (p. 21), the big art event of the summer in New York (p. 15), immense (p. 34), Big, varied (p. 21), diverse (p. 10), comprehensive (p. 20), amBitious (pp. 19, 21, 22, 33, 34), impressive (p. 21), remarkaBle (p. 21), not one to miss (p. 30), wholly different and very rewarding (p. 33), satisfying (pp. 21, 33), visual feast (p. 25), Bonanza (p. 25), rare triumph (p. 21), significant (p. 13), unprecedented (p. 10), groundbreaking (pp. 13, 23), a game changer (p. 13), a landmark exhiBition (p. 13), will define all other suBsequent CariBBean surveys for years to come (p. 22).” Crossroads is the most recent tangiBle expression of an increase in interest in and recognition of CariBBean art in the CariBBean diaspora, in particular the USA and to less extent Western Europe. This increase is likely the confluence of such factors as: (1) the consolidation of CariBBean immigrant communities in North America and Europe, (2) the creative originality of artists of CariBBean heritage, (3) these artists’ greater moBility and presence in the diaspora in the context of gloBalization, especially transnational migration, travel and information flows,2 and (4) the politics of multiculturalism and of postcolonial studies.

From the island of Jamaica, significantTaino artefacts are currently held in storage in the British Museum. This project explores how one 'brings to life' their identities, and how this may engage with contemporary jewellery and object making practices. The project has wider implications forminority communities- particularly for those subjugated by western imperialism from the end of the fifteenth Century to the late nineteenth century and, arguably, formany up to and including the various independence movements fo11owingWorld War Two. This period has contributed to the many factors that create an invisibility of black artists and their contributions to a wider art history. In addressing the significant problem of 'invisibility', the aim of this thesis is to investigate how contemporary jewellery and object making processes, methods and outcomes can act as catalysts forre-integrating fragmented and dispersed relationships.

  • Brown, Everald CV
    210 eleventh avenue, ste 201 new york, ny 10001 t 212 226 3768 f 212 226 0155 CAVIN-MORRIS GALLERY e [email protected] www.cavinmorris.com EVERALD BROWN (born 1917 in Clarendon, Jamaica; died 2003 in Brooklyn,! NY) A carpenter by trade, Brown began painting and carving in the late 1960’s while living in Kingston. At this time Brown, who was a self-ordained priest of a sect related to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, was inspired by a vision to decorate a small church he had built. In addition to adorning the church with his paintings, he also carved ceremonial objects for it. These first works were very well received not only by his own congregation, but by other visitors. This encouraged Brown to continue painting and carving. He began participating in exhibitions and in the early 1970’s received several awards for his work. Because of the close connection between Brown’s artistic and spiritual life, his imagery drew heavily upon his spiritual experiences (including his interest in Rastafarianism), and his visions. In the early 1970’s Brown left Kingston to move to the country with his family. They settled in the remote district of Murray Mountain, the hills near St. Ann. Here on a limestone hill, named Meditation Heights, Brown built a house. The early years on Murray Mountain were especially productive and Brown produced many works, including the first of his highly decorative musical instruments (the drums, dove harps and star banjoes). Since then Brown has continued to live and work in his private sanctuary on Murray Mountain, inspired by nature and his mystical !visions.
