  • 384 Alain Boulanger, John Cowley & Marc Monneraye This Book Is
    384 book reviews Alain Boulanger, John Cowley & Marc Monneraye Creole Music of the French West Indies: A Discography 1900–1959. Holste-Oldendorf, Germany: Bear Family Records, 2014. 367 pp. (Cloth US$61.18) This book is a rarity—a discography that dazzles: one part visual treat, one part meticulous scholarly document. Its publisher, known for lavish boxed sets of rereleased popular music of the past (mostly American and European), took its first major plunge into Caribbean music in 2006 with ten cds of classic Trinidadian recordings from the late 1930s accompanied by a thick, beautifully illustrated book including chapters by several of the world’s lead- ing calypso scholars.1 Though lacking companion cds, the present book makes an equally noteworthy contribution. It began in 2008 as a less elaborate publication with limited distribution.2 The 2014 version, vastly improved, is the only extensive discographic treatment of French Antillean music to date. Drawing on the authors’ personal archives, the audiovisual department of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Library Sound Archive, and a number of other libraries and private collections, it lists what must be the great majority of commercial recordings of French Caribbean music released (on 78 rpm discs, LPs, and 45 rpm singles) during roughly the first half of the twentieth century. It also includes a handful of “ethnographic recordings” made by linguists, folklorists, and musicologists during this period. The book’s two main components—the discography and historical essay— evidence years of painstaking research, and include, in addition to basic disco- graphic information (names of singers/band leaders and/or orchestras, album and/or song titles, dates, recording locations, labels, and catalog numbers), many valuable details.

    Victoria Miro Chris Ofili: Poolside Magic Inaugural Exhibition Victoria Miro Venice, Il Capricorno, San Marco 1994, 30124 Venice, Italy Private View 5:30 – 7:30pm, Tuesday 9 May 2017 Exhibition 10 May – 1 July 2017 Victoria Miro is pleased to announce the opening of a new gallery in Venice. The first exhibition at Victoria Miro Venice will be by Chris Ofili. Entitled Poolside Magic the exhibition comprises a suite of pastel, charcoal and watercolour works on paper, which are being shown together for the first time. Poolside Magic, in which a man in coat-tails serves a naked woman beside a swimming pool, riffs on themes of sexuality, mutability, magic and the occult, making reference to the vibrant and sensuous landscape and culture of Trinidad, where the artist lives and works. Source material for the series includes a photograph of Trinidadian artist Boscoe Holder (1921 – 2007) at work in his Port of Spain studio. Opening during the Vernissage for the 57th Venice Biennale, the exhibition marks a return to the city for the artist. Ofili represented Britain at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003, when he presented his ambitious exhibition Within Reach, and in 2015 a suite of Ofili’s paintings were included in All The World’s Futures, the 56th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, curated by Okwui Enwezor. Chris Ofili’s exhibition Weaving Magic is at the National Gallery, London from 26 April to 28 August 2017. Victoria Miro’s new gallery will open to the public on 10 May 2017. This will be the gallery’s fourth exhibition space, joining gallery sites in Mayfair and Wharf Road, London.

  • The Crocodile of Old Kang Pow
    is a comic opera set against the backdrop of fetid 18th Century Paris. The Marquis De Sade has lost his libido and must find it or lose his head to the chopping block of Marie Antoinette. His quest takes him to a mythical world to petition its Crocodile God of fertility. Utilising opera, gospel, magical elixirs, profanity, irreverence and high art with low morals, the show’s creator Darren Berry weaves an elaborate, hallucinatory, cautionary tale. Lasting around 40 minutes, the ‘Covid Croc’ will differ from a regular performance in that it will intermingle live singing and acting alongside a pre-recorded film of the show and will be using only two singers playing multiple roles and a narrator to tell the story. Starring Caroline Kennedy (Soprano) and Phil Wilcox (Baritone) with Christian Holder directing and featuring in order of virtual appearance… Emily Raiher as The Messenger Helen Karikari as The Lady-in-Waiting and The Goddess of Love Jackson Scott as The Wizard Mystah Byegee and Susan Harriott as Momolow and finally Darren Berry making his debut as The Covid Gimp Age: 15 upwards Content warning – strong language and sexual themes throughout Produced by Reptilian Productions in association with Gus Robertson Presents www.thecrocodileofoldkangpow.com [email protected] www.gusrobertsonpresents.com Synopsis OVERTURE Paris Docks 1770.

  • Considering the Impact of Indians in Trinidad on Visual Culture
    Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies, 2020 Vol. 4, No. 2, 10-39 Considering the Impact of Indians in Trinidad on Visual Culture Patricia Mohammed Professor Emerita, Gender and Cultural Studies University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad [email protected] This paper proposes that a multivaried Indo-Trinidadian aesthetic contribution drawn from ritual, domestic, and imaginary space continues to remain historically and culturally submerged in both the definition of artistic practice and in the national consciousness of Trinidad society. The art works and artists analyzed here were selected from an exhibition held at the National Museum and Gallery in Port of Spain on the occasion of Indian Arrival Day 2017, which is celebrated as a public holiday annually. While there are reasons for the continuously delayed entry of Indo-Caribbean motifs and symbols into the nationalist aesthetic imagination, by the second decade of the twentieth century, there is no excuse of claiming fear of imposing on religious rituals. The intersection between the secular and the religious have been fundamentally important to innovations in other art movements in Europe and elsewhere. Nor can we assume an exclusivity or separateness on the part of Indian art and cultural practitioners, as there is sufficient evidence from the works of a desire to enter the public marketplace of ideas on visual culture. Leaving the space still open to interpretations this essay raises the important question that must be considered: beyond the acceptance

  • Sunshine Awards to Honor Trinidad & Tobago's Boscoe
    August 12, 2002 Contact: Kanchan Paser Tel: 212­963­0343 Fax: 212­963­1395 e­mail: [email protected] For Immediate Release SUNSHINE AWARDS TO HONOR TRINIDAD & TOBAGO'S BOSCOE HOLDER Teaneck, New Jersey, USA, August 12, 2002….The SUNSHINE Awards™ organization today issued the following statement: At the Fourteenth Annual SUNSHINE Awards, which will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2002 at the New York's Pennsylvania Penntop Ballroom, the remarkable multi­talented Boscoe Holder from Trinidad & Tobago, will be honored with a SUNSHINE Awards Special Recognition Award for his outstanding contribution to the art forms and cultural heritage of the Caribbean. Boscoe Holder has been a tremendous creative force for more than 50 years. Having won international acclaim as a painter, dancer, costume designer, choreographer and pianist, he can truly be considered the consummate Renaissance man. A naturally gifted individual, he is self­ taught in all these artistic disciplines, each of which has been impacted by his creative genius. By age five Boscoe was already showing a keen interest in art, and his natural ability quickly developed in style and artistry, bringing early recognition for his extraordinary artistic talent. His beautiful portrayal of the human form soon gained tremendous popularity and it wasn't long before he caught the attention of several art patrons and before his work was being shown regularly at exhibitions held by the Trinidad Art Society. Boscoe's development as an artist was greatly influenced by his exposure to the confidence and poise of Martiniquan Creole society when he visited his mother's birthplace, Martinique, in 1946.
