🪡👁 @troymichie book “Rock of Eye” (2021) “To tailor a garment by “rock of eye” is to rely on the drape—on experience over mathematical measurement—in the fitting process. It is a kind of drawing in space—a freehand, an intuition, a trust of materials. Published on the occasion of Troy Montes-Michie’s solo exhibition at the California African American Museum, Rock of Eye is an artist’s book comprised of altered, collaged and drawn source materials, some familiar from Montes-Michie’s recent large-scale paintings and collages that center on the Black male body and his series tracing the social history and form of the zoot suit, others opening new avenues of investigation. Rock of Eye is a tactile and sensuous artist’s book, recalling the forms of both magazines and swatch books. Troy Montes-Michie begins the sequence—of works altering material from vintage erotic magazines, French tailoring magazines, found photographs, sewing patterns, and more—with portraits that serve to distort the white gaze of the Black queer body, and inverting the boundary between hyper-visibility and invisibility. In the book, these striking disruptions metamorphose into woven abstractions and then into landscapes. His stitches are scars, reparations, suturing histories and geographies; his cuts and folds both pattern and map. These images create thresholds for new crossings: his needle hits rock. A study in the ambiguity between portraiture and landscape, Rock of Eye reflects Montes-Michie’s experience growing up in El Paso, Texas, navigating borders and the spaces between them.” text via @sigliopress —— #ListeningToImages #Archives #SonicFrequency #Moodboard #HapticImages #ArchiveOfArchives #BlackVisuals #BlackGaze #BlackArchives #BlackAndWhitePhotos #Afrofuturism #DigitalArchives #AfricanArchives #Listening2Images #CathodeRay #CathodeRayStudio #TroyMichie #TinaCampt #ABlackGaze #Assemblage #Juxtapozition https://www.instagram.com/p/CWNx_4_Mpv1/?utm_medium=tumblr

👁 #SengaNengudi “African American artist Senga Nengudi expresses her ideas about the human body through performance-based sculptures and installations. Her best-known work R.S.V.P. (1975)—so called because the artist really wanted people to respond—was an installation of sand-filled, dark-hued pantyhose knotted and stretched into all directions. “It relates to the elasticity of the human body," Nengudi said. "From tender, tight beginnings to sagging… The body can only stand so much push and pull until it gives way." Her more recent work has included performative installations, variously incorporating ritual dance, sand painting, original music and videos, and cross-cultural references to the crafts of indigenous cultures around the world.” Text via @artsy —— #ListeningToImages #Archives #SonicFrequency #Moodboard #HapticImages #ArchiveOfArchives #BlackVisuals #BlackGaze #BlackArchives #BlackAndWhitePhotos #Afrofuturism #DigitalArchives #AfricanArchives #Listening2Images #CathodeRay #CathodeRayStudio #PerformanceArt #Nengudi #Performance #Dance #ContemporaryArt #ContemporaryDance https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9L3S3Fe9x/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎞 #DeanaLawson —— “Atleast once a year, I make a self-portrait. It’s an occasion for the artist to construct her representation through her own medium, be it a camera or a paintbrush or what have you. It’s an opportunity to declare who you are visually and who you aspire to be. A selfie is a smaller branch of self-portraiture—quick and less considered. A self-portrait considers the interiority of the artist; it’s a moment for self-reflection, to pause and to look at yourself.” ‘Self Portrait’ (2012) [ID: American artist, educator and photographer Deana Lawson with a large 4x5 camera by/under a willow tree.
