  • Scriptures: Psalm 80:1-3; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:17-25 ​ Rev
    1 “Genealogies, Banana Art, and a Vulnerable God” Advent 4A (December 22, 2019) Scriptures: Psalm 80:1-3; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:17-25 ​ Rev. Dr. David A. Kaden >>Circle us, Lord, during this season of light. Keep the light within, keep the darkness without. Amen.<< David Datuna is a Smithsonian-recognized artist based in New York City. His art is known around the world for its social consciousness. Until recently - I’ll get to that “recently” bit in just a moment - Datuna was best known for his series titled “Viewpoint of Millions.” His website describes this series as “a network of positive and negative optical lenses suspended over a large-scale layered, collaged, and painted image.” The images beneath the lenses are painted or collected from photos, newspaper articles, and magazine clippings. It’s a “mixed media palette,” according to his website.1 Atop the mixed media images are dozens of eyeglass lenses that have been fused together. One gallery described the optical lenses suspended over the images as an “undulated surface of eyewear fused together to create a prismatic surface.”2 Viewers of Datuna’s art have to look through the dozens of lenses to see the image beneath - the lenses distort the image, so the viewer has to strain and squint to see through the glasses. The idea behind this art form is for “the prismatic surface [to] both hid[e] and revea[l] the work below … .” And the lenses are meant to symbolize that each of us sees the world differently through our own very personal and sometimes distorted lenses.

  • Mzia Chikhradze Gesture of Thoughts1
    Mzia Chikhradze Gesture of Thoughts1 (Contemporary Georgian Emigrant Artists in USA) The particular paper has been written in the framework of the project “Integration and Identity”, funded by Shota Rusteveli National Science Foundation"s Fundamental Research Grants$ New York is the artistic and cultural center of the today’s world, where not only American, but the art processes going on in the galleries across the world come together and therefore, the entire picture of the 21st-century art scene can be observed here And yet, the art presented at New York stage has some specific features. Amongst this is the multiethnic unity, made possible through the blend and collaboration of artists of different nationalities, in which the concept of “national” (perceived as a phenomenon of merely local importance), is often undermined compared to “other$ challenges of global significance 'n this integrated art space the “national” becomes worth mentioning only when it echoes and reflects the global socio-political problems or falls in line with the actual philosophical discourses. )ne can speak about the “national” simply when specifically referring to the origins, biography or the historical background of certain artists. )ur interest towards this issue is determined by the fact that there are several emigrant artists from *eorgia, who live and work in this vibrant globalized and integrated art world. ,he issues how do they manage to integrate into the art space in NY or how relevant are their modes of expression in terms of form and content, are the key questions to be addressed in our study 1 H.
