Before focusing on West Africa, highlights of the lifestyles, religions, and icons of non-maskmaking cultures of North, West and South African people are presented. Clarification of West African religious concepts of God, spirits, and magic and an examination of the forms and functions of ceremonial headgear (masks, helmets, and headpieces) and religious statues (ancestral figures, reliquaries, shrine figures, spirit statues, and fetishes) are made.

  • In 1981, the Artist David Hammons and the Photographer Dawoud Bey Found Themselves at Richard Serra's T.W.U., a Hulking Corten
    Lakin, Chadd. “When Dawoud Bey Met David Hammons.” The New York Times. May 2, 2019. Bliz-aard Ball Sale I” (1983), a street action or performance by David Hammons that was captured on camera by Dawoud Bey, shows the artist with his neatly arranged rows of snowballs for sale in the East Village. Credit Dawoud Bey, Stephen Daiter Gallery In 1981, the artist David Hammons and the photographer Dawoud Bey found themselves at Richard Serra’s T.W.U., a hulking Corten steel monolith installed just the year before in a pregentrified and sparsely populated TriBeCa. No one really knows the details of what happened next, or if there were even details to know aside from what Mr. Bey’s images show: Mr. Hammons, wearing Pumas and a dashiki, standing near the interior of the sculpture, its walls graffitied and pasted over with fliers, urinating on it. Another image shows Mr. Hammons presenting identification to a mostly bemused police officer. Mr. Bey’s images are funny and mysterious and offer proof of something that came to be known as “Pissed Off” and spoken about like a fable — not exactly photojournalism, but documentation of a certain Hammons mystique. It wasn’t Mr. Hammons’ only act at the site, either. Another Bey image shows a dozen pairs of sneakers Mr. Hammons lobbed over the Serra sculpture’s steel lip, turning it into something resolutely his own. Soon after he arrived in New York, from Los Angeles, in 1974, Mr. Hammons began his practice of creating work whose simplicity belied its conceptual weight: sculptures rendered from the flotsam of the black experience — barbershop clippings and chicken wing bones and bottle caps bent to resemble cowrie shells — dense with symbolism and the freight of history.

Courtesy of the artist and Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New By the late 1960s, the United States was in pitched conflict both in Vietnam, against a foreign power, and at home—between Americans for and against the war, for and against the status quo. Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 presents art created amid this turmoil, spanning the period from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s fateful https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/244630/artists-respond-american-art-and-the-vietnam-war-1965-1975/ decision to deploy U.S. ground troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. The first national museum exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art, Artists Respond brings together nearly 100 works by 58 of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media: painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation, documentary art, and conceptualism.

    Broken Tools and Misfit Toys: Adventures in Applied Media Theory Marcel O’Gorman University of Waterloo AbstrAct The majority of media theorists who have applied their work in new technolog - ical contexts have eschewed formal experimentation to produce a print-oriented mode of dis - course. Even in the digital humanities, scholars build and use tools that ultimately lead to the creation of traditional academic essays and monographs. Applied Media Theory (AMT) is a method that engages in formal experimentation with media to generate critical discourses and technologies. This article identifies a new applied critical practice that not only examines, but also intervenes, in the formation of digital culture, primarily by combining digital art practices with conventional research methods. AMT is outlined here through a description of projects underway in the Critical Media Lab at the University of Waterloo. KeywOrds Digital Art; Media Theory; Digital Humanities; Practice-based Research résuMé La plupart des théoriciens des médias qui situent leurs travaux dans de nouveaux contextes technologiques préfèrent un discours orienté vers l’imprimé plutôt que des expérimentations sur la forme. Même dans l’étude des médias interactifs, les chercheurs développent et emploient des outils qui mènent ultimement à la création de monographies et d’articles traditionnels. La théorie médiatique appliquée est une approche où l’on effectue des expériences formelles avec les médias afin de générer des technologies et des discours critiques. Cet article identifie à ce titre une nouvelle pratique critique appliquée qui examine non seulement la formation de la culture numérique mais intervient aussi dans cette formation, principalement en combinant les pratiques d’art numérique et les méthodes de recherche conventionnelles.
