It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

  • Body As Matter and Process Press Release
    Garth Greenan Gallery 529 West 20th Street 10th floor New York NY 10011 212 929 1351 www.garthgreenan.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Garth Greenan (212) 929-1351 [email protected] www.garthgreenan.com Skins: Body as Matter and Process Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Skins: Body as Matter and Process, a group exhibition curated by Alison Dillulio at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, June 23, 2016, the exhibition features a selection of works, mostly from the 1970s, that evoke the human body–both literally and metaphorically. The artists included are: Lynda Benglis, Mary Beth Edelson, Harmony Hammond, Ralph Humphrey, Kiki Kogelnik, Howardena Pindell, Zilia Sánchez, Joan Semmel, Richard Van Buren, and Hannah Wilke. During the 1970s, second-wave feminism fostered a climate of unparalleled artistic innovation. As Lucy Lippard wrote, “the goal of feminism is to change the character of art.” The artists included in this exhibition furthered this mission by abandoning traditional art-making practices in favor of new modes of representation. They resisted preexisting patriarchal constructs by challenging the definition of painting and sculpture and reintegrating a palpable sense of self into their work. Howardena Pindell, Autobiography: Japan (Shisen-dö, Kyoto), 1982 (more) According to art historian Lynda Nead, art of this period “broke open the boundaries of representation….to reveal the body as matter and process, as opposed to form and stasis.” The featured artists cut, tear, stretch, throw, break apart, and reconstruct materials in their deeply personal and physically charged works. They reference the body in their exploration of processes, materials, and subject matter—an endeavor that offers viewers new perspectives on all forms, human and otherwise.

  • Lynda Benglis Defining Post-Minimalism, 1968–1990 Frieze Masters, Regent’S Park, London
    PRESS RELEASE Lynda Benglis Defining Post-Minimalism, 1968–1990 Frieze Masters, Regent’s Park, London October 5–8, 2017 Cheim & Read and Thomas Dane Gallery are pleased to announce a survey of important works by Lynda Benglis to be presented at Frieze Masters, Regent’s Park, London, October 5–8, 2017. In the late 1960s, Benglis rejected the formalist precepts of Clement Greenberg and Donald Judd to produce a form of Post-minimalism paralleling Eva Hesse’s investigations into the emotional resonances of materials, but with an explicit sense of sexuality and Feminist revolt coupled with a freewheeling manipulation of media, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, and video. Her works in polyurethane foam, lead, aluminum, plaster, enamel, and glitter congealed in lumps on the floor or curled off the wall, while her sometimes tender, sometimes savage videos pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable as art. As Catherine J. Morris, the Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, writes in Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s (Prestel, Flounce 1978 chicken wire, cotton, plaster, gesso 2016), Benglis created these works “to undermine — or and gold leaf 48 x 16 x 8 in 121.9 x 40.6 x 20.3 cm at least thumb her nose at — what she saw as the reigning orthodoxies ruling both the artworld and the emergent second-wave feminist movement.” By breaking the boundaries of Minimalist “good taste,” Benglis opened up the floodgates of color, sex, politics, and humor, influencing a wide field of aesthetic endeavors, from the cool analysis of identity politics and appropriation art to the uninhibited exuberance of performance, Pattern and Decoration, and Neo- Expressionism.

  • Nytimes Black History Month Is a Good Excuse for Delving Into Our
    Black History Month Is a Good Excuse for Delving Into Our Art An African-American studies professor suggests ways to mark the month, from David Driskell’s paintings and Dance Theater of Harlem’s streamed performances to the rollicking return of “Queen Sugar.” David Driskell’s “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” (1972), acrylic on canvas. Estate of David C. Driskell and DC Moore Gallery By Salamishah Tillet • Feb. 18, 2021 Black History Month feels more urgent this year. Its roots go back to 1926, when the historian Carter G. Woodson developed Negro History Week, near the February birthdays of both President Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, in the belief that new stories of Black life could counter old racist stereotypes. Now in this age of racial reckoning and social distancing, our need to connect with each other has never been greater. As a professor of African-American studies, I am increasingly animated by the work of teachers who have updated Woodson’s goal for the 21st century. Just this week, my 8- year-old daughter showed me a letter written by her entire 3rd-grade art class to Faith Ringgold, the 90-year-old African-American artist. And my son told me about a recent pre-K lesson on Ruby Bridges, the first African-American student who, at 6, integrated an elementary school in the South. Suddenly, the conversations my kids have at home with my husband and me are the ones they’re having in their classrooms. It's not just their history that belongs in all these spaces, but their knowledge, too.

  • African American Creative Arts Dance, Literature, Music, Theater, and Visual Art from the Great Depression to Post-Civil Rights Movement of the 1960S
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 6, No. 2; February 2016 African American Creative Arts Dance, Literature, Music, Theater, and Visual Art From the Great Depression to Post-Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s Dr. Iola Thompson, Ed. D Medgar Evers College, CUNY 1650 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11225 USA Abstract The African American creative arts of dance, music, literature, theater and visual art continued to evolve during the country’s Great Depression due to the Stock Market crash in 1929. Creative expression was based, in part, on the economic, political and social status of African Americans at the time. World War II had an indelible impact on African Americans when they saw that race greatly affected their treatment in the military while answering the patriotic call like white Americans. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s had the greatest influence on African American creative expression as they fought for racial equality and civil rights. Artistic aesthetics was based on the ideologies and experiences stemming from that period of political and social unrest. Keywords: African American, creative arts, Great Depression, WW II, Civil Rights Movement, 1960s Introduction African American creative arts went through several periods of transition since arriving on the American shores with enslaved Africans. After emancipation, African characteristics and elements began to change as the lifestyle of African Americans changed. The cultural, social, economic, and political vicissitudes caused the creative flow and productivity to change as well. The artistic community drew upon their experiences as dictated by various time periods, which also created their ideologies. During the Harlem Renaissance, African Americans experienced an explosive period of artistic creativity, where the previous article left off.

Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1869 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history—from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Tamarind:Homage to Lithography Tamarind: Homage to Lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind.
