FALL 2019 PRESENTED BY NEW ARTS JUSTICE AND MONUMENT LAB MILITARY PARK THE TIME IS NOW: IMAGINING MONUMENTS FOR NEWARK Salamishah Tillet and Paul Farber There is a great peace, after the war great love, after the hatred –Amiri Baraka Located in the heart of Newark’s Military Park, one of the nation’s oldest public spaces, a large bronze sculpture sits elevated on a raised pedestal layered with granite on its outer edges. The sculp- ture, Wars of America, is nearly a century old and included on the National Register of Historic Places. It forges the middle ground of a park that has been and continues to be a throughway, a gathering place, and a space to consider the multiple narratives that comprise Newark of yesteryear and today. Wars of America stands out from most other war monuments in Newark and elsewhere, as it elevates a collective of people rather than a single heroic icon. Conjuring references of American conflicts from the Revolution through the Civil War and World War I, this grouping does not merely lionize the leaders of End Apartheid Now rally, 1986.

A Call to Peace invited four artists – Manuel Acevedo, Chakaia Booker, Sonya Clark, and Jamel Shabazz – all artists known for their innovative ap- proaches to art and social justice to create tem- porary prototype monuments that take up this question. The artists’ projects offer artworks and activations which respectively focus on underrepre- sented veterans, engaging the legacies of the Con- federate statues, and addressing the relationship between public spaces and historical memory. The artists were invited based on their interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches to monumental work, their relationships with Newark, and their innovative and healing approaches to militarism and/or peace practices. In a city with a strong artist-activist history, including Black Arts Movement poet Amiri Baraka’s Spirit House, visual artists Gladys Grauer and Jerry Gant, and now its current Mayor Ras Baraka, who himself has a background in spoken word, among others, the moment to reanimate the conversation Chakaia Booker, Serendipity, 1998-99 (Previous installation with the Public Art Fund in New York City's MetroTech Commons) We must find new, critical ways to reflect on the monuments we have inherited and imagine future monuments we have yet to build about art, public space, and justice is now. Build- ing on the momentum of the city’s successful public art projects like “Gateways to Newark,” the art wall at Fairmount Switching Station, and the forthcoming Four Corners, we see A Call to Peace as an invita- tion to members of the public to help redefine these complex histories and contested public spaces. Alongside the artist installations, New Arts and Monument Lab will open a participatory research lab, staffed by local artists and educators, where passersby will be invited to contribute their own speculative monument proposals. The collected Sonya Clark, Woven replica of the Confederate Flag of Truce, 2019. Photo: Carlos Avendaño / Fabric Workshop and Museum responses will be added to an open database, posted on a community board in Express Newark, and shared as a report to the city in 2020. (The approach is based on similar methods Monument Lab’s team has used in Philadelphia in 2015 and 2017, respectively.) Every Thursday, the lab will also host weekly "Monumental Conversations" with critical members of Newark’s community who are actively working on issues of monuments, cultural memory, and historic preservation. Our exhibition is not meant as a start to a dialogue, but a gathering of various ongoing threads of critical and creative voices already and continually doing the work. Our hope is that visitors in Military Park and Express Newark speak with our Lab team; attend events; and submit monument proposals to help collectively unpack, reframe, and reset a viewpoint on what monuments we have and what monuments could define our landscape for the next generation. In 2019, 400 years after the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, our nation continues to experience a moment of intensity and uncertainty around public monuments — especially those that symbolize the enduring legacy of racial injustice and social inequality — we are reminded that we must find new, critical ways to reflect on the monuments we have inherited and imagine future monuments we have yet to build. A Call to Peace is envisioned Manuel Acevedo, BUG OUT (Tank Version), 2009 as an opportunity for meaningful dialogue, multidisciplinary approaches to public art and public history, and collective call for social justice. ■ 2 VETERANS PEACE PROJECT The first portraits from Jamel Shabazz's growing archive honoring underrepresented Newark veterans and their families are installed as large scale images opposite the Wars of America monument. Photographed last summer in collaboration with SHINE Portrait Studio, these depict Larry “Free” Dyer (a Newark-born Vietnam Veteran, pictured below) and Jillian M. Rock (the daughter of the late Jerome Rock, a Newark-born Vietnam Veteran). A dual portrait of Ause and Natasha Dyer (grandchildren of the late William “Big Man” Roosevelt Lancaster, a Newark-born Korean War Veteran) is located in Express Newark.

    A. Campbell Park is a linear urban public park maintained by Campbell Park LLC of the Kirkpatrick Family Fund under an agreement with the City of Oklahoma City through Parks and Recreation. Oklahoma Contemporary is responsible for programming Campbell Art Park, and has previously and successfully mounted four public art installations: Orly Genger: Terra (2014–2016), Tomas Saraceno: Cloud City (fall 2016), Erwin Redl: Whiteout (2018–2019) and Jen Lewin: Aqueous (2020). In summer 2021 we would like to continue our presentation to the Oklahoma City community of public artworks by internationally renowned artists with Chakaia Booker’s Shaved Portions. Attached please find photographs showing the first four installations and proposed location for Shaved Portions. B. Specially commissioned for Campbell Park, Chakaia Booker’s Shaved Portions will introduce a sculptural scale not previously seen in Campbell Art Park. With its soaring heights and gentle undulations, the monumental work of steel and recycled tires will stand sentinel atop Automobile Alley for ten months. Optimizing the key aspects of sculpture, Shaved Portions offers different views from different angles and distances; and an interplay of mass, volume, and negative shapes. The overall silhouette of Booker’s installation will shift according to viewing perspective, including top view from the terrace or higher floors in neighboring buildings. The negative spaces serve as voids that then get filled by the people who walk through the installation. Oklahoma Contemporary is currently developing multiple works of dance and performance to interact with and activate the installation. Modular armatures of stainless steel to be bolted together as the skeletal structure will be wrapped in the rubber tire ‘skin’ that has been a distinct feature of her work.

He was an active Freemason, though I am not always certain we would at all times want to admit that fact. He was raised in Howard Lodge No. 35 in New York City on June 10, 1904 and served as its Worshipful Master in 1910 and 1911. Howard Lodge No. 35 still owns the gavel he used. The form of the gavel was a bronze lion’s paw holding a stone from Solomon’s Temple. In 1915, he was appointed the Grand Representative of the Grand Lodge of Denmark near the Grand Lodge of New York. He was also a Scottish Rite Mason receiving those degrees in the New York Consistory on October 25, 1907; however, he was suspended from the Scottish Rite in 1921. Gutzon Borglum was a famous artist, and his most famous work was Mount Rushmore. He did provide some of his talent as service to the craft. One such piece is the Bust of Edward M. L. Ehlers, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York, which currently resides in the Grand Lodge Library. Another piece is his memorial “Silence” which is located in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Hospital at the Masonic Home in Utica, New York.

Gordon Bond All were created by sculptors who also have celebrated works in Newark, New Jersey. When people hear "Newark," they almost gardenstatelegacy.com/Monumental_Newark.html certainly don't think of a city full of monuments, memorials, and statuary by world renowned sculptors. Yet it is home to some forty-five public monuments reflecting a surprising artistic and cultural heritage—and an underappreciated resource for improving the City's image. With recent investment in Newark's revitalization, public spaces and the art within them take on an important role in creating a desirable environment. These memorials link the present City with a past when Newark was among the great American metropolises, a thriving center of commerce and culture standing its ground against the lure of Manhattan.

    27th Annual Awards Dinner October 22, 2015 President’s Message Inductees, Scholarship Recipients, Family and Friends, It is with great honor that I welcome you tonight to our 27nd Annual Newark Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Since 1988, we have been honoring athletes from public and private schools in and around the City of Newark. Our initial purpose was to focus attention on Newark’s glorious past and it’s bright future by cre- ating a positive environment where friendships, camaraderie and memories can be renewed. Tonight we continue that tradition with eighteen new Inductees, four Scholarship Winners, a Life Time Achievement Award and two State Championship Teams, the 1963 Central Basketball and the 1966 South Side Football Teams The Honorees have proven, as in the past, that they are to be recognized as true role models, a characteristic very much in need these days, whether in a large city or a small town. You can turn to a bio page in this or any one of the previous twenty six books of inductees and find a role model you can be proud to emulate. The hallmarks of a good athlete are dedication, desire, teamwork, hard work, time management and good sportsmanship. These are the same qualities necessary to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why our Hall of Fame Family of Inductees are to be viewed as success stories, on and off the field. To our Scholarship Award Winners, you have been recognized to possess the characteristics outlined above; therefore, we wish you good fortune in college and hope to see you back here one evening on the dais, as a future Inductee into the Hall of Fame.
