This exhibition presents Harlem through iconic images by seminal photogra- hrlm: pictures phers of the 20th century, photographs by local and national artists and selections from the Museum’s permanent collection. Photography has always been and remains a complex agent in understanding Harlem. From James VanDerZee and Aaron Siskind’s images of Harlem in the 1930s, to direct and unfl inching photographs of Harlemites in 1960s and July 20—October 23, 1970s by Dawoud Bey, Jules Allen and Gordon Parks, this exhibition visualizes the incredible nostalgia for Harlem’s glorious past. On the other hand, contemporary works such as Karen Davis’ images of young children playing in the pool and Christine Camilo’s portrait of a Boricua teenager in Spanish Harlem, capture the essence and energy of Harlem from east to west, north to south. 2005 Artists in the exhibition include: Jules Allen, Donald Andrew Agarrat, Alice Attie, damali ayo & Randal Wilcox, Dawoud Bey, Terry Boddie, Jonathan Calm, Christine Camilo, Karen Davis, h. eugene foster, Adler Guerrier, Mikki K.

During their eight months in the program, the partcipants from New York City–area high schools explore the history and techniques of photography. We Found Us will be on view in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education while the Studio Museum constructs a new building on the site of their longtime home on West 125th Street.

The exhibition demonstrates their shared interest in storytelling, technical experimentation, and the possibilities of photography as a channel for expression.

The artists are: Aisha Hashmi, Anthony Trowner, Sixx Teague, Belen Vanesa Bautista, Bryam Franco, Charles Etuk, David Mills, Kenny Peña, Leila Annah Fuentes, Michelle Morocho, Sadia Zaman, Saiida Powell, Skye Mayo, Emmanuel Lugo, and Steeve Hedouville.

  • ALICE ATTIE We Are Delighted to Present a Selection of Alice Attie’S Series of Drawings at the Kabinett of Our Booth at Art Basel Miami Beach 2017
    Art | Basel | Miami Beach | 7–10 | 12 | 17 Kabinett | Booth B12 ALICE ATTIE We are delighted to present a selection of Alice Attie’s series of drawings at the Kabinett of our booth at Art Basel Miami Beach 2017. Alice Attie’s ink drawings involve the minuscule. They often explore the territory between writing and drawing, where the two over- lap. Her drawings are meditations in ink that allow tiny marks to accumulate over long sustained periods of time. Engaging repetition, rhythm and gradual change, she allows these minuscule words, figures, numbers and marks to accrue and grow on the paper. When presenting a landscape of numbers or letters or of a language that is not real, she is inspi- red to push and suspend meaning, allowing it to slip into visual abstraction. In the last lectures that Michel Foucault gave at the College de France, from 1982 to1984, he addressed the practices and disciplines surrounding the care of the self. In these lectures, given while Foucault himself was dying of AIDS, he pondered Socrates’ last utterance to his disciple Crito: Take Care of Yourself. From that statement, Foucault embarked on a study of the idea of care: care of the body, care of the other, Alice Attie, Take Care of Yourself - Series Foucault, 2014 care of the spirit and specifically, care of the freedom to speak freely, from a place of truth. The drawings in this series are comprised of repetitions of the phrase Take Care of Yourself. They become contemplative sites of linguistic ambiguity and transgression. For Attie, language can be thought of as a large opening through which we advance, a space where meaning may unravel, be dissembled or itself dissolve.
