Lorraine O'grady. Interview by Laura Cottingham. Nov 5, 1995*
Lorraine O'Grady. Interview by Laura Cottingham. Nov 5, 1995* © Hatch-Billops Collection, Inc. 1996 In-depth interview done for the excellent Artist and Influence series produced by Camille Billops and James Hatch for their archive of African American visual and theatre arts. This is my good friend Laura Cottingham. We've been having conversations like this for some time now. I want to start by asking you how you came to understand yourself as an artist, how did you adopt that identity, what in your own life led you to this understanding of yourself? I understood that I was an artist almost by accident. I was pushed into it at about age twenty-five. You have to understand, I came from the kind of family where the arts would never have been encouraged. They were West Indian immigrants, and immigrants of color are de-classed when they come here. They may have been middle class and upper class in Jamaica, but here they were de-classed into the working class. They didn't have time or energy to devote to what we might think of as life- affirming activities. They really had to focus on survival. They understood a lot about taste, like what kind of silverware and china to put on the table, but in terms of what books to read—I don't think that was what they were able to give me. They were not really culture-oriented. And I don't think they were unique in that way. The black middle class has not been involved with wealth accumulation long enough nor is it financially and socially secure enough that bohemianism and encouraging children to be artists is an option for them. -

Art in the Age of the Coronavirus June 6 - December 12, 2020
Life During Wartime: Art in the Age of the Coronavirus June 6 - December 12, 2020 Deborah Kass “I use history as a readymade,” Deborah Kass has declared. “I use the language of painting to talk about value and meaning. How has art history constructed power and meaning? How has it reflected the culture at large? How does art and the history of art describe power?” Most discourses around power and meaning today are—or should be—undergoing serious reconsideration. Theories of knowledge have bent to the breaking point. The combined weight of political instability, alternative facts, a growing rejection of science and the destabilizing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the growing use of state violence, have mined the confidence of people around the world but of Americans especially. Enter Deborah Kass’s Feel Good Paintings For Feel Bad Times. A set of canvases that use language and the sanctioned stylings of celebrated male artists to express key cultural conflicts, they marshal wit and graphic punch to force a confrontation between the canonical (the orthodoxies established by male artists) and the disruptive (their appropriation by a female artist). The results are demystifying, cutting, and often hilarious. They are also hopeful. At times being funny is simply saying what’s true. — CVF, USFCAM Deborah Kass, Isn’t It Rich, 2009.

Thies, Chair In recent years, developed Western democracies have seen the rapid rise of new political forces, including movements commonly described as “populist”, “nationalist” or “sovereigntist”, but also new forms of opposition against these movements. A growing body of research identifies these changes as the product a realignment driven by the differential impact of globalization on these societies. In this dissertation, I build on this research by arguing that geography plays a key role in shaping this realignment. The benefits of globalization tend to concentrate in large metropolitan areas, while the rest of the country bears the brunt of its negative effects. As a result, developed democracies see the rise of a political cleavage opposing these two geographic entities, with large urban areas increasingly distinguishing themselves from less-dense communities in their voting patterns and other political behaviors. -

TRIB LIVE | AandE Artist displays her Warhol roots By Kurt Shaw Published: Saturday, November 3, 2012, 9:03 p.m. Updated: Sunday, November 4, 2012 Many artists strive to replicate the success of Andy Warhol, but few have replicated his art like Deborah Kass. The New York City-based artist spent eight years working in the vein of the Pop Art king, only to create something uniquely her own. “There’s no artist of my generation for whom Andy is not an influence. I mean, he was huge in everyone’s consciousness,” says Kass, a 1974 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University’s art department. Kass, who was born and raised in Long Island, says Warhol was a big reason she chose to attend Carnegie Mellon. But it wouldn’t be until nearly 20 years later that she would mine the artist’s oeuvre for ideas and inspiration. Now, the artist and her influence meet again, but in a different way. Just last weekend, Kass, 60, was in town for the opening of her first retrospective, “Deborah Kass: Before and Deborah Kass‘Before and Happily Ever After’ 1991 Happily Ever After.“ And it’s on display at, where else, The Andy Warhol Museum. At first glance, you might be hard pressed to tell a Warhol from a Kass, especially on the fourth floor of the museum where no fewer than 10 Warhol-inspired portraits by Kass of her friends hang alongside nearly as many by Warhol. There’s Warhol’s portrait of his friend, Victor Hugo, next to Kass’ friend, Norman Kleeblatt, fine-arts curator at the Jewish Museum in NewYork. -
