  • 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.

  • African American Modernist: the Exhibition, the Artist, and His Legacy
    Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist 121 Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist: The Exhibition, the Artist, and His Legacy Stephanie Fox Knappe On September 8, 2007, the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, opened the first nationally traveling retrospective to com- memorate the art and legacy of Aaron Douglas (1899–1979), the preeminent visual artist of the Harlem Renaissance. Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist reaffirmed his position in the annals of what remains the largely white epic of American modernism and focused new attention on lesser-known facets of the lengthy career of the indefatigable artist. The retrospective of nearly one hundred works in a variety of media from thirty-seven lenders, as well as its accompanying catalogue, conference, and myriad complementary programs, declared the power of Douglas’s distinctive imagery and argued for the lasting potency of his message. This essay provides an opportunity to extend the experience presented by Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist during its fifteen-month tour. Beginning at the Spencer Museum of Art and continuing on to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, and Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian American Art Museum, the exhibition closed on November 30, 2008, at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. Many of the works that were gathered together for the traveling retrospective with the purpose of showcasing Douglas, his role in American modernism, and his enduring legacy are discussed in this essay. Additionally, to acknowledge that rare is the artist whose work may truly be understood when divorced from the context in which it took root, the 0026-3079/2008/4901/2-121$2.50/0 American Studies, 49:1/2 (Spring/Summer 2008): 121-130 121 122 Stephanie Fox Knappe art that composed Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist is presented here in tandem with key biographical elements.
