Guide To Black Art Exhibitions 2006

Guide to Black Art Exhibitions in 2006
Introduction The Guide to Black Art Exhibitions in 2006 is a comprehensive selection of art exhibitions in the United States of America. This, the third in a series of this Guide, has a twofold purpose. If you plan to travel within the United States and you visit one of the cities listed, take an excursion to the featured museum(s) in that city and enjoy the exhibition(s). If you discover an exhibition that is not included or find errors in this Guide, please send an e-mail to either blackartproject@yahoo.com or blackartproject@comcast.net. It is recommended that you telephone, e-mail, or visit the venues web site in advance to confirm that the exhibition will be on view when you plan to visit. Its second major purpose is to provide documentation, in one source, of the exhibition history of African American art exhibitions in museums, large commercial galleries, and cultural centers across the country. This documentation does not exist in any other source. The Guide is currently produced by George-McKinley Martin of Black Art Project. We hope that the Guide will encourage more people to visit and enjoy exhibitions of African American art. It is hoped that strong support of these exhibitions will encourage more museums to mount exhibitions of the works of African American artists either as a theme or included in other major subject/theme related exhibitions. How to Use This Guide The Guide is arranged by month. All entries are in alphabetical order by city. Each time an exhibition appears in the Guide, it is given a full entry. The first line of a full entry (left column) includes the museum/gallery site, followed by the name of the exhibition in bold print, the inclusive dates of the exhibition, a brief description of the exhibition. The right column includes additional information -- address, telephone number, web site and/or e-mail addresses when they exist-- to help make your contact or visit easier. When an exhibition continues to subsequent months, there is a full entry under each of those months and it includes the 1
museum/gallery site, the title of the exhibition, its ending date, and a brief description, as well as the appropriate contact information.

The University of Michigan Museum of Art Betye Saar: Extending the Frozen Moment On view through January 8, 2006
Throughout her career, Betye Saar has made art that challenges us to think about our societal responses to race and to the history of race in the United States. Though politically trenchant, Saars work moves beyond protest to encompass a profound spirituality and an awareness of the things that link human beings across cultural lines and across time. This exhibition examines Saars achievement by focusing on her work with photography, specifically, her incorporation of photographic fragments as a metaphor for her view of the African American experience and of lives too often obscured in American visual history.

James A. Michener Art Museum Wachovia Gallery Romare Bearden: Enchanter in Time On view through February 5, 2006
Romare Bearden filled his work with the symbols and myths of the American black experience. Drawing from a variety of literary, musical, and historical sources, Bearden often employed a collage-like technique that fused many different elements, almost like a jigsaw puzzle. But unlike a puzzle, each element had a poetic and symbolic meaning. Shortly before he died, Bearden said that working directly with fragments of the past made them more immediate and relevant.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston The Caroline Wiess Law Building Basquiat On view through February 12, 2006
During the tragically brief life of Jean-Michel Basquiat (19601988), he created a distinct style of painting that involved language, a set of repeated personal symbols, and a rhythmic harmony of surface based on a loosely girded picture plane. This traveling exhibition marks the first serious examination of Basquiats work by an American museum. Basquiat comprises 67 paintings, many drawn from European collections, and 36 drawings, all of which examine the artists work in the context of his role as the last Modernist.

Other important materials reside in the New York State Library in Albany, the Schomburg Center, the Municipal Archives, and the Gilder Lehrman Collection, now on deposit at NYHS.

The works in the exhibition, both representational and abstract, pose a recurring question that cuts across the thematic groups: how much

The story of New York's rootedness in the enslavement of Africans is largely unknown to the general public. For the last 30 years, scholars here and abroad have recovered many fascinating details of the hidden worlds of New York's enslaved people. Among the richest sources for that new scholarship have been the library and museum collections of the New-York Historical Society. Other important materials reside in the New York State Library in Albany, the Schomburg Center, the Municipal Archives, and the Gilder Lehrman Collection, now on deposit at NYHS.

Living and working in the United States and ranging in age from 25 to 42, their inspirations and influences range from hip hop videos and folktales, to baseball stars and Abstract Expressionism, to tattoo design and non-western aesthetics.

Lorna Simpson first became well known in the mid-1980s, examining racial and gender identity with large-scale photograph and text works that are formally elegant and subtly provocative. The artist often focused on the black female figure, shown either faceless or with her back turned, to comment on the social anonymity of the black female and, at the same time, make her the central subject. By the mid-90s, Simpson began to concentrate on creating large multi-panel photographs printed on felt. More recently, the artist has turned to creating moving images.

51
awareness of the things that link human beings across cultural lines and across time. This exhibition examines Saars achievement by focusing on her work with photography, specifically, her incorporation of photographic fragments as a metaphor for her view of the African American experience and of lives too often obscured in American visual history.

Acclaimed for his use of saturated color and his highly improvisational, spontaneous technique, Gilliam is regarded as one of the most important and inventive colorists of the last thirty years.

Miami Art Museum Lorna Simpson On view through January 21, 2007

Throughout her career, Betye Saar has made art that challenges us to think about our societal responses to race and to the history of race in the United States. Though politically trenchant, Saars work moves beyond protest to encompass a profound spirituality and an awareness of the things that link human beings across cultural lines and across time. This exhibition examines Saars achievement by focusing on her work with photography, specifically, her incorporation of photographic fragments as a metaphor for her view of the
85
African American experience and of lives too often obscured in American visual history.

Miami Art Museum Lorna Simpson On view through January 21, 2007
Lorna Simpson first became well known in the mid-1980s, examining racial and gender identity with large-scale photograph and text works that are formally elegant and subtly provocative. The artist often focused on the black female figure, shown either faceless or with her back turned, to comment on the
89
social anonymity of the black female and, at the same time, make her the central subject. By the mid-90s, Simpson began to concentrate on creating large multi-panel photographs printed on felt. More recently, the artist has turned to creating moving images.

Twelve key works by each artist, representing the full chronological range and stylistic evolution of their oeuvre, will be arranged according to overlapping themes that underline the artists' family ties, multi-racial heritage and strong affinities to nature and African cultures. The works demonstrate a desire to reclaim the visual representation of African American women by exploring subjects including slavery, stereotypes of domestic labor and contentious historical images of the female
