    BLACKBLACK ARTISTSARTISTS OFOF DCDC ANNUALANNUAL LISTLIST OFOF ACCOMPLISHMENTSACCOMPLISHMENTS VolumeVolume 66 -- 20122012 JanuaryJanuary toto DecemberDecember 1 July 10, 2012 2 Why Jembe? The jembe, also known as the 'healing drum', was traditionally cut by members of the revered blacksmith caste who manufactured the various tools, instruments and ceremonial masks needed for everyday existence in ancient Africa. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the jembe comes directly from the saying "Anke djé, anke bé" which literally translates as "everyone gather together" and defines the drum's purpose of summing the people. I chose the name because we are also coming together to support each other and to present our art to the world. Jembe contains the annual list of accomplishments of the Black Artists of DC (BADC). It is a yearly compilation designed to recognize the successes of our members, furnish member contact information and act as a guide to possible venues. The future is often cloudy and much has been lost in our past. It is important to document the work of Washington DC artists and that the documentation is readily available for future research. Towards that end, I have initiated this volume which is being sent to selected repositories. No one document can contain all of our accomplishments but my aim is to give a clear picture of the direction and focus of our 400 plus members and supporters. Washington DC is a cosmopolitan city. Our world is bigger than the street on which we live. Our goal is to create and be recognized! Daniel T.

  • The Esopus Foundation Ltd
    THE ESOPUS FOUNDATION LTD. NARRATIVE The Esopus Foundation Ltd. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization incorporated in New York State in 2003. It was created to provide a forum through which artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, and other creative people can make a direct connection with the general public. The Foundation is largely devoted to the publishing of Esopus, a twice-yearly magazine that features content from all creative disciplines presented in an unmediated format. “Unmediated” means that Esopus never features advertisements or commercially driven editorial material, and employs a purposefully neutral editorial voice in order to make the magazine a distributor, rather than interpreter, of its content. From 2009 to 2012, The Esopus Foundation also ran Esopus Space, an intimately scaled venue located in the Greenwich Village area of New York City that hosted exhibitions, readings, performances, concerts, screenings, and artists’ presentations at no cost to the public. STATEMENT OF NEED In the United States, the work of contemporary artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and other creative professionals rarely reaches the general public. Instead, it is either confined to the isolated professional circles of a specific field, or diluted by the market-driven needs of an economy-minded media. Likewise, a large percentage of the most significant work in numerous disciplines reaches a negligible percentage of the American public—a percentage that is primarily well-educated, economically advantaged, and living in urban environments with ready access to cultural resources. Artists’ work is shown and discussed in galleries, specialized journals, and other forums that cater to a rarefied population of dealers, collectors, and critics.

  • How Many Billboards? Art in Stead Writes Los Angeles
    OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR: HOW MANY BILLBOARDS? ART IN STEAD WRITES LOS ANGELES Megan Okrand A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Art (Art History). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: John Bowles Mary Sheriff Eduardo Douglas ©2015 Megan Okrand ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Okrand: Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear: How Many Billboards? Art in Stead Writes Los Angeles (Under the direction of John Bowles) Often described as seventy-two suburbs in search of a city, the urban topography of Los Angeles has become synonymous with its automobile-based infrastructure. When Los Angeles’s MAK Center for Art and Architecture commissioned a public project, the city’s notorious urban terrain was an integral component, one that invited artists to find and "produce" the city by navigating its streets. Titled How Many Billboards? Art In Stead, the exhibition consisted of twenty-one billboards displayed on major public roadways throughout the city, thereby implicating commuters as exhibition’s audience. Focusing on four billboards by Christina Fernandez, Kira Lynn Harris, Brandon Lattu and Allen Ruppersberg, this thesis argues that the exhibition invites a consideration of the rich cultural tapestry of the city. This thesis, moreover, will examine both the imagery and the placement of billboards to see how they produced Los Angeles as a new space, one that defied boundaries through residents’ movements. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, John Bowles and my readers, Mary Sheriff and Eduardo Douglas for their guidance, words of wisdom, and most importantly, their encouragement every step of the way.
