  • The Racial Bias Built Into Photography - the New York Times
    9/3/2019 The Racial Bias Built Into Photography - The New York Times LENS The Racial Bias Built Into Photography Sarah Lewis explores the relationship between racism and the camera. By Sarah Lewis April 25, 2019 This week, Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study is hosting Vision & Justice, a two-day conference on the role of the arts in relation to citizenship, race and justice. Organized by Sarah Lewis, a Harvard professor, participants include Ava DuVernay, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Wynton Marsalis and Carrie Mae Weems. Aperture Magazine has issued a free publication this year, titled “Vision & Justice: A Civic Curriculum” and edited by Ms. Lewis, from which we republish her essay on photography and racial bias. — James Estrin Can a photographic lens condition racial behavior? I wondered about this as I was preparing to speak about images and justice on a university campus. “We have a problem. Your jacket is lighter than your face,” the technician said from the back of the one-thousand-person amphitheater- style auditorium. “That’s going to be a problem for lighting.” She was handling the video recording and lighting for the event. It was an odd comment that reverberated through the auditorium, a statement of the obvious that sounded like an accusation of wrongdoing. Another technician standing next to me stopped adjusting my microphone and jolted in place. The phrase hung in the air, and I laughed to resolve the tension in the room then offered back just the facts: “Well, everything is lighter than my face. I’m black.” “Touché,” said the technician organizing the event.

    AQ&A WITH Carrie Mae WeemsBy Charmaine Picard 66 MODERN PAINTERS JANUARY 2014 BLOUINARTINFO.COM Elegant and graced with a rich, melodic voice, Carrie Mae Weems is an imposing figure on the artistic landscape. Through documentary photographs, conceptual installations, and videos, she is known for raising difficult questions about the American experience. When the MacArthur Foundation awarded her a 2013 “genius” grant, it cited Weems for uniting “critical social insight with enduring aesthetic mastery.” The artist and activist is the subject of a major traveling career retrospective, which was at Stanford University’s Cantor Arts Center in the fall and opens January 24 at its final stop, the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

  • 30 Americans West Coast Debut at Tacoma Art Museum: Unforgettable
    MEDIA RELEASE August 2, 2016 Media Contact: Julianna Verboort, 253-272-4258 x3011 or [email protected] 30 Americans West Coast debut at Tacoma Art Museum: Unforgettable Tacoma, WA - The critically acclaimed, nationally traveling exhibition 30 Americans makes its West Coast debut at Tacoma Art Museum (TAM) this fall. Featuring 45 works drawn from the Rubell Family Collection in Miami – one of the largest private contemporary art collections in the world – 30 Americans will be on view from September 24, 2016 through January 15, 2017. The exhibition showcases paintings, photographs, installations, and sculptures by prominent African American artists who have emerged since the 1970s as trailblazers in the contemporary art scene. The works explore identity and the African American experience in the United States. The exhibition invites viewers to consider multiple perspectives, and to reflect upon the similarities and differences of their own experiences and identities. “The impact of this inspiring exhibition comes from the powerful works of art produced by major artists who have significantly advanced contemporary art practices in our country for three generations," said TAM's Executive Director Stephanie Stebich. "We've been working for four years to bring this exhibition to our community. The stories these works tell are more relevant than ever as we work toward understanding and social change. Art plays a pivotal role in building empathy and resolving conflict." Stebich added, "TAM is a safe space for difficult conversations through art. We plan to hold open forums and discussions during the run of this exhibition offering ample opportunity for community conversations about the role of art, the history of racism, and the traumatic current events.” The museum’s exhibition planning team issued an open call in March to convene a Community Advisory Committee.

    D. Dominick Lombardi: Kathryn E. Delmez on Carrie Mae Weems at the Frist 1/4/13 12:13 PM January 4, 2013 Kathryn E. Delmez on Carrie Mae Weems at the Frist Posted: 09/07/2012 7:22 pm I would be hard pressed to think of anyone in the visual arts who has done more to make public the centuries old discrimination of race and gender, the oppressive effects of power, the intricacies of domesticity and our general sense of place as human beings than Carrie Mae Weems. As we are only about one year apart in age, I can remember quite well the level of racial inequality that Ms. Weems was born into. I can also remember very clearly, the buzz created when a non-stereotypical, everyday African American housewife appeared in a laundry soap commercial for the first time. It was a 1970, Wisk detergent television advertisement, and since I lived in a largely white community defined by hardworking blue and white collar husbands paired with stay-at-home, home- maker wives, the vocal backlash that ensued could generally be placed into the category of "what is the world coming to?" When you think about how systemic and ingrained the feelings, subtle or profound, were regarding race, gender and the system of power built upon those prejudices that Ms. Weems addressed all those years ago a very different, very intense level of strength and courage emerges. Yes, it's true that the Civil Rights movement had already begun, and was gaining worldwide recognition and ground every day.

Jules imagines a dream school, which includes 12 of the greatest and most colourful thinkers the world has ever known. Each of these ancient philosophers teaches a technique we can use to transform ourselves and live better lives. These practical techniques are illustrated by the extraordinary stories of real people who are using them today - from marines to magicians, from astronauts to anarchists and from CBT psychologists to soldiers. Jules also explores how ancient philosophy is inspiring modern communities - Socratic cafes, Stoic armies, Platonic sects, Sceptic summer camps - and even whole nations in their quest for the good life.

  • Carrie Mae Weems: the Usual Suspects Exhibition
    CARRIE MAE WEEMS: THE USUAL SUSPECTS EXHIBITION Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects includes recent photographic and video works questioning stereotypes that associate black bodies with criminality. Images from the All the Boys and The Usual Suspects series implicate these stereotypes in the deaths of black men and women at the hands of police, and confront the viewer with the fact of judicial inaction. Blocks of color obscuring faces point to the constructed nature of our notions of race and how these imagined concepts obscure humanity—here with very real and deadly outcomes. People of a Darker Hue, a meditative compilation of video, found footage, narration, and performance commemorates these deaths. Number of Works: 9 works (includes 5 diptychs, Availability: January 2019–December 2022 2 installations of 5+ panels, and video projection Participation Fee: $10,000 Minimum size: 150 linear feet Shipping: LSU Museum of Art makes all Organized by: LSU Museum of Art arrangements, exhibitors pay pro-rated shipping Booking Period: 8–10 weeks Contact: Courtney Taylor, Curator [email protected] Availability: January 2019–December 2022 225-389-7205 ARTIST Considered one of the most influential contemporary American artists, Carrie Mae Weems has investigated family relationships, cultural identity, sexism, class, political systems and the consequences of power. Determined as ever to enter the picture— both literally and metaphorically—Weems has sustained an on-going dialogue within contemporary discourse for over thirty years. During this time Carrie Mae Weems has developed a complex body of art employing photographs, text, fabric, audio, digital images, installation, and video. In 2013 Weems received the MacArthur “Genius” grant as well as the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
