    Allen, Emma. “The Rapper is Present,” The New Yorker, July 11, 2013 JULY 11, 2013 THE RAPPER IS PRESENT POSTED BY EMMA ALLEN Three years ago, when the performance artist Marina Abramović sat in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art for seven hundred and fifty hours, many of the people who had waited in long lines to sit across from her melted down in her presence. Abramović remained silent and still, enduring thirst, hunger, and back pain (and speculation as to how, exactly, she was or was not peeing), while visitors, confronted with her placid gaze, variously wept, vomited, stripped naked, and proposed marriage. But the other day, at the Pace Gallery in Chelsea, where Jay-Z was presenting his own take on Abramović’s piece—rapping for six hours in front of a rotating cast of art-world V.I.P.s—viewers’ primary response was to get up and dance. Jay-Z (or Shawn Carter, or Hova, as he’s alternately known) was continuously performing “Picasso Baby,” the second song on his new album, “Magna Carta… Holy Grail,” to a succession of visual artists, museum directors, gallerists, Hollywood folk, and Pablo’s granddaughter Diana Widmaier Picasso. These guests took turns on or near a wooden bench positioned across from a low platform on which the rapper stood, except when he was prowling around. A crowd of less famous art-world denizens and cool-looking people (some of whom had been specially cast) loitered along the walls of the gallery, except when they were invited to scurry right up to Jay-Z.

  • Clifford Owens, Anthology (Nsenga Knight) , 2011
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 14 January 2014 Image credit: Clifford Owens, Anthology (Nsenga Knight) , 2011. Image courtesy of the artist. Clifford Owens: Better the Rebel You Know Cornerhouse, Manchester, UK, 10 May – 17 August 2014 Curated by Daniella Rose King This summer Cornerhouse in Manchester will host the first major European show by American conceptual artist Clifford Owens, across all three of its galleries. Owens ’ work explores the intersection of photography, video, text and performance. His practice seeks to challenge the boundaries of performance, and the possibilities of interaction between artist and audience. The exhibition will include an exclusive UK iteration of Owens’ work Anthology , which debuted at MoMA PS1’s eponymous exhibition in New York in 2011. The work originated from a series of 28 performance 'scores': short, diverse sets of instructions (some specific, others open to interpretation) solicited by Owens from a selection of African American artists, from established to emerging figures. Owens said: “This project originated over a decade ago. In 2000, my thesis research failed to find adequate evidence of black artists’ investment in performance art since the 1950s, but this clearly wasn’t due to a lack of involvement. Rather than lament the lack of historical interest in US-based black artists and performance art, I chose to imagine my own history. “The artists who contribute the scores drive the emotional ‘gestalt’ represented in Anthology ; I am the conduit for transmitting profoundly powerful messages from a group of enormously talented artists. My body is attached to this body of work; it is the container and conveyor of its meaning.

    Bios: 2014 CHAUTAUQUA FACULTY/VISITING ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE Resident faculty (rf) teach from 1 to 7 weeks during the summer at Chautauqua. Visiting lecturers and faculty (vl, vf) are at Chautauqua for periods ranging from 1 to 5 days. LISA CORINNE DAVIS: Faculty, Hunter College "Lisa Corinne Davis' paintings occupy a point somewhere between cartooning and cartography, abstraction and figuration. Her carefully articulated images are oddly familiar but essentially ephemeral, visually resonant but also deliberately enigmatic. Davis’ subject has always been the exploration of racial, social, and psychological identity. She has developed her own vocabulary for rendering the world, a lexicon that expresses her personal experience as an African-American woman in the 21st Century, and, by extension, that of an individual in modern society. While subtly avoiding the clichés of special identity politics—if anything, challenging them—Davis provides the viewer with an evocative visual code for deciphering his own environment." (P. Hoban) Davis received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Hunter College and her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute. Her work has been exhibited nationally including exhibitions at June Kelly Gallery, Marlborough Gallery, Spanierman Modern, the Bronx Museum, and Von Lintel Gallery. She is currently represented by Gerald Peters Gallery New York, NY Galerie Gris in Hudson, NY and The Mayor Gallery, London. Her work is included in many collections, including that of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Roger Denson Cultural critic, essayist, novelist and screenwriter published with Parkett This is Part 4 of the Timeline of Left Political Art, 1980-1989. See Part 1, 1900-1944, Part 2, 1945-1966, and Part 3, 1967-1979, on Huffington Post. It may have been in the 1960s and the 1970s that the American Left enjoyed a tempestuous love affair with the mainstream media, what with its widespread support of Civil Rights, its dissent against the wars in Southeast Asia, and its vibrant counterculture. But it was in the 1980s and 1990s that the Left made deeper and more permanent changes in the fabric of society with regard to gaining substantial ground in terms of the social liberties and political balance gained legislatively, economically and institutionally in the expansion of the racial, gender and sexual emancipation movements. The Left also developed deeper and more nuanced theoretical and cultural productions both in the institutions of higher education and in the arts almost without the notice of the media. It was, after all, the period in which the West saw the Liberal policies and funding of the social and educational programs implemented in the 1960s and 1970s come to fruition in the generation that grew up watching and admiring the activists and counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. For visual artists in their twenties and thirties, this meant that the 1980s afforded them networks of publicly funded publications and alternative exhibition and screening spaces throughout North America and Western Europe for the exchange of ideas from a Left perspective.
