DARREN WALKER BY FORD FOUNDATION “THESE are the times that try men's souls. e summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

ese are the words of one of our founding fathers, omas Paine. For those Americans, like Paine, who prize freedom above all, that can only mean freedom for all. Not license for me and my friends, nor a special pass or privileges for me and my kind, but choice for everyone with whom we share a common territory and common heritage. And make no mistake, that heritage is not just a thing of marble statues and buildings but of marbled bodies and minds in which mingle all the rich and multitudinous veins of the American experience. A pure American is by denition an impure bred creature, the sum of generations of mingling ethnicities, cultures, and creeds.

at reality is under more concerted assault from “summer soldiers and sunshine patriots” than any period in our history. But they will not prevail. ey cannot prevail. Because denial is ultimately powerless against the manifest and abiding fact of our ingenious, disputatious, energizing variety. For far too long groups within the scope of the Democratic Vistas whose expansive hymn Walt Whitman sang in the Leaves of Grass, whose epoch bridging, ocean-spanning lyrics Langston Hughes picked up in “ e Negro Speaks of Rivers”, and whose intimate costs Adrienne Rich captured in Diving into the Wreck have been le out of Big Tent democracy. But those days are past. e reckoning has come due. And America is and will be the better for its many-faceted manifestations.

As with the poetry and music they write, the dances they dance, the buildings they build, the lms they make, Americans can best be known by the art they create. FAPE sees to it that remarkable examples of such work are visible everywhere the United States has an embassy or consulate, and that people of the countries where these diplomatic outposts are located, the people coming to do business in them will, in passing, have the opportunity to get to know us better through expressions of who we are that will outlast the temporary policies of any one administration or party. FAPE is a strictly non-partisan but unapologetically patriotic coalition of private citizens of wide-ranging artistic preferences and political aliations, all of whom are dedicated to the proposition that the best way to present our nation to others is as the sum of its vital, vivid dierences. We owe our thanks to the patrons who have made this sustained eort possible, but rst and foremost to the artists who have contributed their ideas, time, and talent to every aspect of the projects we have sponsored.

ROBERT STORR Brooklyn 2020 PERFORMANCE VIDEO BY JACOLBY SATTERWHITE

JACOLBY SATTERWHITE (A '09) is a Brooklyn-based artist celebrated for a conceptual practice addressing themes of labor, consumption, carnality, and fantasy through immersive installation, virtual reality, and digital media. He uses a range of soware to produce intricately detailed animations and live action lm of real and imagined worlds populated by the avatars of artists and friends. Guided by queer theory, modernism, and video game language, Satterwhite challenges conventions of Western art through a personal and political lens. An equally signicant inuence is that of his late mother, Patricia Satterwhite, whose ethereal vocals and diagrams for visionary household products serve as the source material within a complex structure of memory and mythology.

Born in 1986 in Columbia, South Carolina, Satterwhite received his B.F.A from the Maryland Institute College of Arts and his M.F.A from the University of Pennsylvania. His work has been presented in numerous exhibitions both in the United States and in Europe, including most recently at Fabric Workshop & Museum, Philadelphia; Pioneer Works, New York; Whitechapel Gallery, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; New Museum, New York; and Public Art Fund, New York. In 2019, Satterwhite collaborated with Solange Knowles on her visual album, “When I Get Home."

e Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture, given this year to El Anatsui, is a tremendous acknowledgment of the career record of one of the most critically acclaimed sculptors working in the global contemporary art scene today. For nearly y years, Anatsui insistently demonstrated an uninching commitment to formal innovation by constantly questioning and reimagining established languages and processes of sculpture. In this time, he has produced an extensive body of work that is at once intriguing, profound, inventive, polysemic, spectacular and epic.

A graduate of the sculpture program of the acclaimed Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Anatsui’s career direction was determined not so much by the still neo-colonial 1960s curriculum of the art school as by his identication with the progressive cultural politics championed by Ghanaian and African intellectuals and cultural nationalists of the independence era. Specically, during the presidency of Kwame Nkrumah, the foremost advocate of African self-determination and proponent of Pan-Africanism and African Personality, Sankofa—an Akan term for “go back and pick”—became the paradigm of postcolonial Ghanaian cultural nationalism. Sankofa, illustrated by the adinkra symbol depicting a bird swallowing its own egg, suggested the relevance of African cultural traditions for the continent’s present and future, and thus became the ideological and conceptual ground on which Anatsui built his artistic career.

Anatsui’s earliest post-Sankofa work consisted of round wood reliefs inspired by trays used by Kumasi traders for displaying their wares. On these trays, he carved adinkra motifs and other designs focusing on the dynamic relationship between the rich symbolism and graphic power of adinkra signs. Once aware of this possibility of simultaneous evocation of signicant form and idea in adinkra, Anatsui, who in 1975 joined the faculty of the Fine and Applied Arts Department at the University of Nigeria, expanded his eld of artistic resources to other West African design and sign systems, and syllabaries, including Igbo Uli, Ek Nsibidi, Bamun and Vai scripts.

A survey of Anatsui’s oeuvre clearly shows a systematic determination to use readily available material to develop work that is as formally sophisticated as it is conceptual multilayered. For instance, in the late 1970s at the end of Africa’s postcolonial euphoria, he produced a series of terracotta sculptures which he called Broken Pots. Although inspired by pottery traditions of the Ewe peoples of Ghana and Togo, the “pots” were entropic forms rather than as utilitarian vessels and derived their conceptual charge from the recyclability of pottery clay. In his hands, the broken pot form symbolized postcolonial Africa, which despite its contemporary dire circumstances, had internal potential for rejuvenation.

e latest phase of Anatsui’s work, which began in the late 1990s consists of the now globally familiar monumental structures constructed respectively from locally manufactured liqueur bottle tops, oset printer’s aluminum plates, and rusted steel graters used for processing garri, a West African staple food. In addition to their astonishing visual splendor, these metal works simultaneously evoke Africa’s rich artistic traditions, the ravages of slavery and colonialism, the distress of the postcolonial condition, processes of climate change, and the complicated modalities of political and cultural globalization. In these metal works is a surprising fusion of form, color, and movement, that transform them into what one might describe as metamorphic objects—sculptures that by their innitely recongurable, fragmentary form instantiate the popular African maxim: “no condition is permanent.”

For his career achievement as a sculptor, Anatsui has received the Praemium Imperiale Award for Sculpture (2016), Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), and Kansai Telecasting Prize, Osaka Triennial (1995). He was elected to the American Academy of Design (2018), American Academy of Arts and Letters (2014) and is an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Art (2013). His work is in the collection of e British Museum (London), e Smithsonian National Museum of African Art (Washington DC), Museum of Modern Art (New York), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Museum Kunst Palast (Dusseldorf), Setagaya Museum (Tokyo), National Gallery of Contemporary Art (Lagos), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Guggenheim, Abu-Dhabi, and several other major public collections.

Oh, Barbara, I wish I didn’t have to write this text. It would mean you are still here, laughing and telling us not to be so serious, and probably blushing because you’re about to get this award and realizing it is real. You would be honored and would know how to take it both lightly and seriously. Like you did with all things. I have re-read many of the testimonies written aer your passing. ey all emphasize the sweet and charming warmth with which you approached people throughout your career. It was your gi, your special gi, the way you connected with people and connected them to others. It made you a leader, a mentor, an advocate, someone on whom people could rely for advice, directions, crisis management, anything really. You were a strong-willed woman, a complex blend of easiness and resoluteness, and you believed in art, in its power to change lives, better society, help people express and understand their emotions, their frustrations, their joy, all that makes us human. You lived many lives in this ever-changing art world: at Visual AIDS where you arrived fresh from England in 1997, and then at Artists Space, Judd Foundation and the Children’s Museum of the Arts, which you all directed. In each of these lives, you made a mark, lied the prole of the organization, created new programs or events like Postcards from the Edge at Visual Aids, an event that went on to be used as a model by many nonprots. It was very much in your image: fun, dynamic, respectful of artists whom you felt were too oen asked to donate works for benets. Asking them for just a postcard was a much simpler endeavor, and a tremendously ecient one at that. And this is why people asked you to join boards and committees, from the Jerome Foundation to BOXO Projects or the Camargo Foundation and so many others. You always knew how to listen, provide opportunities, nd solutions. I remember you at Judd Foundation managing the creation of an endowment to help the institution become what it was meant to be, and defending the complex legacy of a monumental artist. It was a challenging time for those involved, one that had its detractors, but you managed it all and helped put together a much stronger institution. But, aer it all, you ended up the happiest at CMA, the Children’s Museum of the Art because it tied to your belief that art was transformational, that it could change the path of kids of various social backgrounds and various needs, those with autism for example, or those in foster care. You believed in those kids, you believed in people, in each individual. You were a social warrior, an activist, you brought the best in those you touched. You made them smile. All while doing what you had to do. You were a grande dame of the art, of New York more generally, a beautiful and rich personality. And you will be missed. You are already missed. I am thankful I knew you. And proud you’re being honored tonight.

Skowhegan’s nine-week intensive summer program seeks to bring together a diverse group of individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to artmaking and inquiry, creating the most stimulating and rigorous environment possible for a concentrated period of artistic creation, interaction, and growth. Located on a historic farm in rural Maine, the campus serves as a critical component of the program.

Fundamental to Skowhegan’s pedagogy is an understanding that a multitude of voices, disciplines, experiences, ethnicities, identities, physicalities, and economies is critical to advancing the conversation about art. We do not consider nancial ability or circumstances during our admissions process. Still governed by artists, the program provides an atmosphere in which participants are encouraged to work in contrast to market or academic expectations. skowheganart.org/awardsdinner2020 #SkowheganAD2020
