Whether a neon sign, a photo- graph of a part of his body or a brightly beaded curtain depicting a landscape, his work makes one stop and think while giving something visually stunning to look at. Kori Newkirk: 1997–2007 presents work produced after Newkirk received his MFA from the University of California at Irvine through today. Newkirk is a celebrated multimedia artist whose practice is based on transforming every- day materials into loaded signifiers and making viewers think not only about concepts of African-American culture and beauty, but also of new and ever- changing ways of making art. This exhibition illuminates how the varied but interrelated strands of Newkirk’s practice have converged and developed over time. Newkirk, who was born in the Bronx, raised in Cortland, New York, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, creates work informed by his whole life and experience. This exhibition is designed and installed to create a dialogue between the disparate aspects of Newkirk’s practice. It allows for an understanding of his larger projects through informed juxtaposition of various bodies of work. Kori Newkirk: 1997–2007 is initiated and sponsored by the Fellows of Contemporary Art. This exhibition is also made possible, with major support from Altria Group, Inc. and The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. 1Peter Goddard, “Beads Speak of Suburban Dreams and Delusions,” Toronto Star, January 29, 2005. 01 sm018_10_05_07.indd 2-3 10/6/07 1:37:10 PM 5 Studio / Fall•Winter 2007 FPO sm018_10_05_07.indd 4-5 10/6/07 1:37:11 PM 7 Studio / Fall•Winter 2007 Previous Page/ 02/Kori Newkirk 04/ Kori Newkirk Kori Newkirk Closely Guarded Par Catalo∂ue Excerpt Take What You Can 2000-01 2004 2002 Collection of Lois Plehn Courtesy The Project, Courtesy The Project, Courtesy The Project, New York Kori Newkirk: 1997—2007 New York New York 01/Kori Newkirk 03/ Kori Newkirk Channel 11 Testing the Wind (detail) 1999 2004 Collection of Barry Sloane, Courtesy The Project, Los Angeles New York Courtesy The Project, New York BOOK COVER tis nos nos accummodit vullutpat velent aliquatis eummodo leniat, quatue feuisit nit amconsecte min exercil iquisit, quis aut aute digna augait dio od tem ipsum ipsummy nulla feuis autat nonsectem vendreetue feugiatie magna feugiam, veliscipsum incil del dit ilismod min ullaor irilluptat.
