SET SIX FINAL - ROUND FOUR

"Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate" (1997 - John Boskovich) / "Pixeles (a group of 9 works)" (Executed in 1999-2007 - Oscar Muñoz)

ELECTRIC FAN (FEEL IT MOTHERFUCKERS): it makes me literally insane that’s all that’s left of him and he made sure it would stay remembered, something something the last trace of a breath immortalized the only way it could be. Feel it, motherfuckers. (courfeyracs-swordcane)

PIXELES (A GROUP OF 9 WORKS): This is Pixeles (2003) by Oscar Muñoz. Each portrait is made of sugar cubes stained with coffee, and each is a different person executed by drug cartels in Colombia. I saw this one in Houston's art museum in 2021, and I still think about it. It's made of products that tend to be mono crops, and form a significant portion of colombia's economy, depicting the violence done by the gangs and cartels who only have so much power and ability to do harm because of the harm of colonialism on the country, whose echoes can be seen in the prevalence of coffee and sugar plantations. It's a very simple piece, but it has such a strong impact, especially as someone who was consuming this piece of art in the US, as someone who benefits from the neo-imperialism that allows and even thrives on the instability and violence caused from a mono crop culture and the danger of the unregulated markets which show up around it. Ultimately the materials are very simple, but that compared with the imagery created a piece that has deeply impacted me. (travelingsmithy)

("Electric Fan (Feel It Motherfuckers): Only Unclaimed Item from the Stephen Earabino Estate" is an electric fan encased in plexiglass with vinyl faux etching and a plexiglass base with casters by gay American artist John Boskovich--Stephen Earanbino's partner. It was the last item left in Stephen Earabino's estate after his death by AIDS and measures 56 7/8 x 22 3/4 x 12 1/2 in. (144.5 x 57.8 x 31.8 cm). It is held by The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

"Pixeles (A Group of 9 Works)" is a coffee, sugar, and plexiglass installation done by Colombian visual artist Oscar Muñoz from 1999 to 2007. It is held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.)

Today We Honor Emory Douglas

Born in 1943 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Emory Douglas has been a resident of the Bay Area since 1951. He became the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party in 1967, a role he held until the party disbanded in the early 1980s. During the Party’s active years he served as the art director overseeing the design and layout of the Black Panther, the Party’s weekly newspaper. Douglas was trained as a commercial artist at City College of San Francisco and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions.

His work has also been in numerous exhibitions about the history of the Black Panther Party, including shows at the Arts & Culture Conference of the Black Panther Party in Atlanta, GA in 2008 and “The Black Panther Rank and File” at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco in 2006. Most recently his work was the subject of a solo exhibition at Urbis, Manchester, UK in 2008-2009.

In 2007, artist Sam Durant curated a solo exhibition of Douglas’ work at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, “Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas,” which is the inspiration for the presentation at the New Museum.

The same year, Rizzoli published a book with the same title that included essays and interviews about Douglas’s work and his relationship to the Black Panther Party. Douglas’s work has also been presented at the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, Australia; the African American Art & Cultural Complex, San Francisco; Richmond Art Center, CA; and the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston. via gclass.org | CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #carter #cartermagazine #emorydouglas #blackpanther #blackpantherparty #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke

Gabe Langholtz's "Untitled."

Currently on view at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City until July 1st, 2023 is artist Gabe Langholtz's solo exhibition, "Untitled."

Langholtz's artwork, though primarily representational, takes cues from American Color Field painting, with a focus on color relationships, pattern-making, form, and line. He emphasizes the canvas's two-dimensional surface and often uses ordinary objects or activities in the style of folk art to establish a contemporary narrative. Langholtz frequently incorporates humor, parody, and pastiche for social commentary.

The artist views his work as a tribute to those who continue to fascinate and inspire him, such as Philip Guston, whose late paintings he had the opportunity to see at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Langholtz's use of pastiche allows him to honor admired artists while creating something uniquely his own. By examining their techniques, styles, and subjects, he aims to deepen his understanding of their work and create something beautiful, meaningful, and enduring.

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Mulitplicity

Blackness in Contemporary American Collage at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in Houston, Texas, USA through 12 May 2024. Organized by the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, “Multiplicity” is the first major museum exhibition devoted to this rich yet understudied subject. Featuring some 80 collage and collage-informed works, the exhibition explores the breadth and complexity of Black identity and experiences in the United States. With an intergenerational group of 52 living artists, “Multiplicity” examines how concepts such as cultural hybridity, notions of beauty, gender fluidity, and historical memory are expressed in the practice of collage. By assembling pieces of paper, fabric, and other often-salvaged or repurposed materials, the artists in this exhibition create unified compositions that express the endless possibilities of Black-constructed narratives despite our fragmented society. The artists range from established luminaries to early- and mid-career figures, including Mark Bradford, Lauren Halsey, Rashid Johnson, Kerry James Marshall, Wangechi Mutu, Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Deborah Roberts, Tschabalala Self, Lorna Simpson, Devan Shimoyama, and Mickalene Thomas.

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one's thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.

The kitchen can be both a sanctuary and a battleground for women, as explored by Carrie Mae Weems in her photography series entitled “Kitchen Table Series.”

“These [works] (“Kitchen Table Series”) were made at a moment when—as a result of theory—a woman didn’t know how to construct an image of herself….. There was a fear on the part of visual artists to take control of our bodies, our sexuality. I was trying to respond to a number of issues: woman’s subjectivity, woman’s capacity to revel in her body, and woman’s construction of herself, and her own image.” - Carrie Mae Weems from a phone interview with Dana-Friis-Hansen, February 6, 1996.

Born in 1953 in Portland, Oregon, Carrie Mae Weems is one of the most influential contemporary American artists. In her work, Weems has investigated a variety of themes, including family relationships, cultural identity, sexism, class, political systems, and the consequences of power. Her “Kitchen Table Series” employs visual performance and staged scenes to explore female identity, experiences, and relationships in a space traditionally considered a feminine domain, the kitchen. In addition to casting herself as one of the characters, Weems produced this body of work in her own kitchen.

Alan Saret

Open O, 1985 - 2005

Various steel alloys

Alan Saret’s (b.1944, New York) practice includes sculpture, drawing, painting, architecture, geometry study, writing, language study, and music. He is best known for creating sculptures with flexible materials, composed of wire and other “non-art” mediums. After a three-year sojourn in India in early 1970s where he focused on the spiritual and metaphysical, Saret’s approach to spatiality shifted to three-dimensional wire networks that explore the domain between order and disorder—leading to penetrated constructions that seem to come alive. Drawings with clusters of pencils, called “Gang Drawings,” were first used to represent sheet wire and later developed into an independent art form. While this work was labeled “anti-form” to distinguish it from hard-edged minimalism, Saret stresses its organic qualities, describing it as natural form because of nature’s flexible use of geometry. Although seen by some as process art, these works use process to reveal spirit and to ensoul.

Alan Saret’s work can be found in collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Dallas Art Museum; Detroit Institute of Art; Fogg Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, St. Louis; Minneapolis Institute of Art; MoMA PS1, New York; Morgan Library & Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey; Saint Louis Art Museum; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
