#guinean poet

[readyforevolution]

Amílcar Cabral (12 September 12, 1924 – January 20, 1973) was a Bissau-Guinean and Cape Verdean agricultural engineer, pan-Africanist, intellectual, poet, theoretician, revolutionary, political organizer, nationalist and diplomat. He was one of Africa's foremost anti-colonial leaders.

Cabral led the nationalist movement of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands and the ensuing war of independence in Guinea-Bissau. He was assassinated on January 20, 1973, about eight months before Guinea-Bissau's unilateral declaration of independence. He was deeply influenced by Marxism, becoming an inspiration to revolutionary socialists and national independence movements worldwide.

One of my life goals is to be a polymath. I want to know as much as I can and learn how to put it into use. I think Robert Heinlein, as cringe as he was, was correct about one thing.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

Speaking of polymaths, here's a list of people I have respect for for being polymaths.

1. Leonardo Da Vinci: Artist, sculptor, architect, inventor, engineer, scientist, theorist, the true Renaissance man. Painted things like the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Lady With An Ermine and Salvator Mundi. Came up with early drafts for the helicopter, airplane, submarine, tank, and various other things. Wrote notebooks and drew sketches of several different subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology.

2. Ben Franklin: You know him, you've seen him on the $100 bill, you probably love him, he's great at a lot of things. The first ever postmaster general of the US, the first ambassador to Sweden and France, invented swimming paddles at just 11 years old, later invented the glass harmonica and Franklin stove, helped print some of the first ever newspapers in America, the New England Courant and later the Philadelphia Gazette, founded the University of Pennsylvania, the first fire department, police force (unfortunately), and hospital, did the famous kite experiment that proved lightning was a form of electricity, drafted and signed the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, came up with many aphorisms thanks to Poor Richard's Almanack (which was like any other almanac plus the aphorisms), the Silence Dogood letters, and many other writings, charted and named the Gulf Stream, laid the groundwork for modern demography, and was probably the first ever shitposter. I could name more stuff but honestly this is enough for me and maybe everyone else.

3. Rabindranath Tagore: The Da Vinci of Asia, arguably. A poet and composer who came up with the words for the Indian and Bangladeshi national anthems; an author who made several famous books including Gitanjali, a Nobel Prize-winning poetry anthology (HE WAS THE FIRST POC TO WIN A NOBEL PRIZE), Gora, and The Home and The World, among other literary works that have been adapted into films time and time again by Indian cinema studios; a playwright whose plays have also been adapted to the big screen frequently; a painter inspired by, among other things, Papua New Guinean masks from the Malagan people, Haida carvings from the Pacific Northwest, and the woodcuts of German artist Max Pechstein; a staunch advocate for Indian independence until his dying days, and a child prodigy, writing poetry as early as 8, and publishing his first poetry collection at 16. More people should be talking about this guy.

And finally 4. W. E. B. Dubois: Black sociologist, historian, author, and civil rights activist. He co-founded the NAACP in 1909, wrote his most famous work, The Souls of Black Folk in 1903, a seminal work of POC literature, was the first Black person to earn a doctorate in history, especially from Harvard (!!!!), and a very active member of the civil rights movement as early as the turn of the century. He is also the person that has lived the longest out of all the people on this list, as he died in 1963, at the ripe old age of 95, one year before the Civil Rights Act passed.

Let me know what you think.

Maryam Saleh and Zeid Hamdan Thursday May 9th, 2024 Doors open at 21:30, Starts at 22:00

Info & tickets

Arab trip-hop and electro-pop music by Egyptian singer and songwriter Maryam Saleh & Lebanese music producer Zeid Hamdan in Paradiso (Upstairs Hall) on Thursday, May 9th, 2024. The duo delivers folkloric songs and compositions, often tinged with sarcasm, defying convention. They prompt listeners to unravel their hidden meanings with poignant political and social content, drawing from musical traditional elements to offer surprising modern twists and interpretations. Their rendition is inspired by Sheikh Imam and Ahmed Fouad Negm work and serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era of revolutionary folk music.

Maryam Saleh habitually pushes the boundaries of Arabic music. A luminary of Egypt’s alternative music scene, she delivers a savvy mix of old and new, infusing shaabi and folk styles with innovative techniques and fearless personality. Saleh is a singer, composer, actress, and poet. As the teenage frontwoman of the band Gawaz Safar in the early 2000s, she revived the decades-old protest songs of folk legend Sheikh Imam for a younger audience. She broke new creative ground with the dizzying electro beats and sarcastic poetry of 2015’s Halawella, a critically-acclaimed album she recorded with Soap Kills’ Zeid Hamdan.

Zeid Hamdan is a Lebanese music producer and composer, born in Beirut in 1976, standing for the last few decades as the creative force behind several captivating indie bands originating from the SWANA region, such as Soapkills, Bedouin Burger, the Beit Project, Hiba Mansouri, Zeid and the Wings, The New Government, Maryam Saleh, Maii and Zeid, Kandia Kora (Guinean Pop) La Guinee Kazamada (Arabic electro pop) and more. Successfully blending his Middle Eastern roots with a spectrum of influences including punk, electro, and folk. On top of producing his own records , Zeid Hamdan has also been scoring for Films.

Amílcar Lopes da Costa Cabral (September 12, 1924 – January 20, 1973) was a Bissau-Guinean and Cape Verdean agricultural engineer, intellectual, poet, theoretician, revolutionary, political organizer, nationalist, and diplomat. He was one of Africa's foremost anti-colonial leaders. He was educated at Liceu (Secondary School) Gil Eanes in the town of Mindelo, Cape Verde, and later at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, in Lisbon. While an agronomy student in Lisbon, he founded student movements dedicated to opposing the ruling dictatorship of Portugal and promoting the cause of independence for the Portuguese colonies in Africa. He returned to Africa in the 1950s and was instrumental in promoting the independence causes of the then Portuguese colonies. He was the founder of the Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde and one of the founders of Movimento Popular Libertação de Angola, together with Agostinho Neto, whom he met in Portugal and other Angolan nationalists. He was an asset of the Czechoslovak State Security, and under the codename, "Secretary" provided intelligence information to the STB. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CiZ1w9duJI6dojGSskkxLOyIA_8xvZhufk_GZk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#amilcarcabral #guineabissau🇬🇼 #capeverde🇨🇻 #revolutionary #intellectual #theoretician #poet #nationalist #unityandstruggle #revolutioninguinea #alsothatclowninakufi Amilcar Cabral, I don't see a lot of you celebrating this revolutionary man. But you call the fraud of Africa one. A lot of you misguided souls are under the impression that one of these men was really for the black man, when his actions showed time and time again that he was an enemy to Africa. His gold glittered and hid the fact that he had a sack of coal waiting to hit you over the head with. More on that clown later. If you're unfamiliar with Amilcar's words, pick up Unity and Struggle by Basil Davidson. It's a collection of his speeches and writings. You can also pick up Revolution in Guinea by Amilcar himself. If you're entirely unfamiliar with Amilcar, here's a little to get you started. He was a Bissau-Guinean and Cape Verdean. His father came from a wealthy land owning Guinea Bissau family, his mother was Cape Verdean. He led the war of independence that toppled Portuguese rule in Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde but influenced the fight for decolonization across the continent. The first battle, a thirteen-year war of liberation that came to be known as “Portugal’s Vietnam” pitted ten thousand members of Cabral’s African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) against thirty-five thousand Portuguese troops and mercenaries. What Amilcar did then now has Portugal in the position where Angola is now colonizing them. Amilcar was assassinated January 20, 1973. Now as to that slave holding Libyan, I'm going to talk about his transgressions on another post. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7O09_hhYO2/?igshid=to5ydcfcm36a

Zone by Guillaume Apollinaire

At last you’re tired of this elderly world

Shepherdess O Eiffel Tower this morning the bridges are bleating

You’re fed up living with antiquity

Even the automobiles are antiques Religion alone remains entirely new religion Remains as simple as an airport hangar

In all Europe only you O Christianism are not old The most modem European Pope Pius X it’s you The windows watch and shame has sealed The confessionals against you this morning Flyers catalogs hoardings sing aloud Here’s poetry this morning and for prose you’re reading the tabloids Disposable paperbacks filled with crimes and police Biographies of great men a thousand various titles

I saw a pretty street this morning I forgot the name New and cleanly it was the sun’s clarion Executives laborers exquisite stenographers Criss-cross Monday through Saturday four times daily Three times every morning sirens groan At the lunch hour a rabid bell barks The lettering on the walls and billboards the doorplates and posters twitters parakeet-style I love the swank of that street Situated in Paris between the rue Aumont-Thieville and the avenue des Ternes

Here’s the young street and you’re still a baby Dressed by your mother in blue and white only You’re very pious and with your oldest friend Rene Dalize Nothing is more fun than Masses and Litanies

It’s nine o’clock the gaslight is low you leave your bed You pray all night in the school chapel Meanwhile an eternal adorable amethyst depth Christ’s flamboyant halo spins forever Behold the beautiful lily of worship Behold the red-haired torch inextinguishable Behold the pale son and scarlet of the dolorous Mother Behold the tree forever tufted with prayer Behold the double gallows honor and eternity Behold the six-pointed star Behold the God who dies on Friday and rises on Sunday Behold the Christ who flies higher than aviators He holds the world’s record for altitude

Christ pupil of the eye Twentieth pupil of the centuries knows its stuff And bird-changed this century like Jesus climbs the sky Devils in the abyss look up to watch They say this century mimics Simon Magus in Judea It takes a thief to catch a thief they cry Angels flutter around the pretty trapeze act Icarus Enoch Elijah Apollonius of Tyana Hover as close to the airplane as they can Sometimes they give way to other men hauling the Eucharist Priests eternally climbing the elevating Host The plane descends at last its wings unfolded bursts into a million swallows Full speed come the crows the owls and falcons From Africa ibis storks flamingoes The Roc-bird famous with writers and poets Glides Adam’s skull the original head in its talons The horizon screams an eagle pouncing And from America there comes a hummingbird From China sinuous peehees Who have only one wing and who fly in couples And here’s a dove immaculate spirit Escorted by lyre-bird and shimmery peacock

Phoenix the pyre the self-resurrected Obscures everything ardently briefly with ash The sirens abandon their perilous channels Each one singing more beautifully arrives Everyone eagle Phoenix Chinese peehees Eager to befriend a machine that flies

You are walking in Paris alone inside a crowd Herds of buses bellow and come too close Love-anguish clutches your throat You must never again be loved In the Dark Ages you would have entered a monastery You are ashamed to overhear yourself praying You laugh at yourself and the laughter crackles like hellfire The sparks gild the ground and background of your life Your life is a painting in a dark museum And sometimes you examine it closely

You are walking in Paris the women are bloodsoaked It was and I have no wish to remember it was the end of beauty

In Chartres from her entourage of flames Our Lady beamed at me The blood of your Sacred Heart drenched me in Montmartre I’m sick of hearing blissful promises The love I feel is a venereal disease And the image possessing you in your pain your insomnia Vanishes and it is always near you

And now you are on the Riviera Under lemon trees that never stop blooming You are boating with friends One is from Nice one is from Menton two from La Turbie We are staring terrified at giant squid At fish the symbols of Jesus swimming through seaweed

You are in the garden at an inn outside of Prague You are completely happy a rose is on the table And instead of getting on with your short-story You watch the rosebug sleeping in the rose’s heart

Appalled you see yourself reproduced in the agates of Saint Vitus You were sad near to death to see yourself there You looked as bewildered as Lazarus In the Jewish ghetto the clock runs backwards And you go backwards also through a slow life Climbing the Hradchen listening at nightfall To Bohemian songs in the singing taverns

You in Marseilles among the watermelons

You in Coblenz at the Hotel Gigantic

You in Rome beneath a Japanese tree

You in Amsterdam with a girl you find pretty who is ugly She’s engaged to marry a student from Leyden Where you can rent rooms in Latin Cubicula locanda I remember spending three days there and three in Gouda

You are in Paris hauled before the magistrate You are under arrest you are a criminal now

You went on sorrowful and giddy travels Ignorant still of dishonesty and old age Love afflicted you at twenty and again at thirty I’ve lived like a fool and I’ve wasted my time You dare not look at your hands I want to weep all the time On you on the one I love on everything that frightened you

And now you are crying at the sight of refugees Who believe in God who pray whose women nurse babies The hall of the train station is filled with the refugee-smell Like the Magi refugees believe in their star They expect to find silver mines in the Argentine And to return like kings to their abandoned countries One family carries a red eiderdown you carry your heart Eiderdown and dreams are equally fantastic

Some of the refugees stay on in Paris settling Into slums on the rue des Rosiers or the rue des Ecouffes I have seen them often at dusk they breathe at their doorways They budge from home as reluctantly as chessmen They are chiefly Jewish the women wear wigs And haunt backrooms of little shops in little chairs

You’re standing at the metal counter of some dive Drinking wretched coffee where the wretched live

You are in a cavernous restaurant at night

These women are not evil they are used-up regretful Each has tormented someone even the ugliest

She is the daughter of a police sergeant from Jersey

Her hands I’d never noticed are hard and cracked

My pity aches along the seams of her belly

I humble my mouth to her grotesque laughter

You’re alone when morning comes The milkmen jingle bottles in the street

Night beautiful courtesan the night withdraws Fraudulent Ferdine or careful Leah

And you drink an alcohol as caustic as your life Your life you drink as alcohol

You walk to Auteuil you want to go on foot to sleep At home among your South Sea and Guinean fetishes Christs of another shape another faith Subordinate Christs of uncertain hopes

Goodbye Goodbye

Sun cut throated

New Voices Sing On

By William L. Ellis, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Music, Saint Michael’s College, & curator of New Voices

A preview of the 2018-19 New Voices Series, which introduces new Vermont musicians to the community at large. The series begins Saturday, November 17. Tickets and information are available at www.flynntix.org.

Think music in Burlington and you might not conjure Korean drums, Karen lullabies, or the Guinean balafon. Yet those sounds and more have become as essential to the warp and weft of local musical culture as jam bands and jazz.

Welcome to New Voices, the Flynn Center’s showcase of world musical traditions nestled in and around the Queen City. The series—which debuted in the Flynn’s 2016-2017 season—exists to celebrate the diasporic music making of regional acts and communities, many with an immigrant or refugee background.

Their vibrant musical expressions have taken root in our welcoming city to the extent that transplanted customs now coexist, adapt, and find new expressive meaning. Listen and you’ll hear more than compelling melodies and rhythms. You’ll hear the harmony borne of personal journeys, histories, hope, and yearning, a song of infinite variation that has led each artist to the Green Mountain State.

Costa Rican musician Maiz Vargas Sandoval, a New Voices headliner this season, understands this well and knows that when and wherever he performs, he also sows the seeds of diversity, tolerance, and acceptance. “For me, to be here, I am representing the Latino community, but I am also representing the immigrant community. [When] I have a microphone in front of me, I see it as an opportunity to spread consciousness and awareness. Music is the right language for it.”

This coming season of New Voices—all in FlynnSpace—promises an exciting and distinct array of global grooves brought to you by seven wonderful Burlington-affiliated acts with musical and cultural roots in Burma, Guinea, Senegal, Ghana, Korea, Costa Rica, Netherlands, and Somalia.

The first concert—Saturday, November 17—is a “Night of Drums.” Specifically, it juxtaposes the drumming traditions of Ghana and Korea. The former comes by way of the Five Town All-Stars, a virtuosic ensemble led by drum master Victor Koblavi Dogah, while the latter, Sori Mori is a female troupe associated with the Green Mountain Korean Cultural School of Essex, who perform in the samul nori folk style.

The second concert—From Burma to Balafon on Saturday, February 23—showcases the universal appeal of a beautiful melody. Two young female vocalists billed as the Karen Singers of Vermont came to Vermont from Myanmar via Thailand and will open with songs old and new, including lullabies of their Karen heritage. Headlining will be Sabouyouma, an emerging afrofunk-tinged band led by Ousmane Camara, an enthralling Guinean master of the balafon (wooden xylophone).

The final New Voices concert—a “World Party” on Saturday, April 6—opens with the stand-up humor of comedian/poet/rapper Abow Ibrahim, whose family fled Somalia to the Kenyan refugee camp, Kakuma, before coming to the United States. Now, he finds humor in his life story and jokes about the odyssey. “We are all immigrants to America,” he says with a smile. Second on the bill is Es-K, a Netherlands-born, American hip-hop/downtempo producer who makes sophisticated, chill-style beats with a decided international flavor. Closing the series is the aforementioned Maiz Vargas Sandoval, whose band, Mal Maiz, is a jubilant good time united by the musical travels of their frontman, who came from a Costa Rican family of musicians and absorbed other styles and genres living abroad throughout Latin America. The result is “a big melting pot,” Sandoval says, “of all the rhythms from the Caribbean and Central America.”

Take a step back and “melting pot” best describes New Voices as well, an exciting Flynn series where the world rhythms of our new American friends and neighbors have reset the heartbeat of Burlington.

Guggenheim Exhibition Embroiled in Animal Cruelty Controversy—and the 9 Other Biggest News Stories This Week

Catch up on the latest art news with our rundown of the 10 stories you need to know this week.

01  The Guggenheim pulled three artworks featuring live animals from a forthcoming exhibition amid protests against alleged animal cruelty.

(via The Guardian and the New York Times)

The Guggenheim blamed unspecified but “explicit and repeated threats of violence” for the removal of the pieces, two videos and one sculpture, from “Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World,” which opens to the public October 6th. Controversy around the exhibition erupted late last week and initially centered on Dogs That Cannot Touch Each Other (2003), a video piece by artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu that shows restrained dogs on treadmills attempting to fight one another. The work quickly drew criticism, with a petition calling for “cruelty-free” exhibits at the museum gaining 40,000 signatures in less than 24 hours. A Case Study of Transference (1994), a video showing live pigs mating, and Theater of the World, the exhibition’s titular work of live insects and reptiles devouring each other, will also not be shown. While animal rights activists and some art historians applauded the move, critics charge that the museum is censoring the works. PEN America called it “a major blow to artistic freedom.” Artist Ai Weiwei, whose work is included in the show, also critiqued the museum. “When an art institution cannot exercise its right for freedom of speech, that is tragic for a modern society,” he told the Times.

02  Police raided a Berlin theater on Thursday to disband a six-day occupation by anti-gentrification protesters.

Artnet News reported that 20 protesters from the art collective Dust to Glitter were removed from the Volksbühne, or “People’s Theater.” They had been staging a protest “to recapture the venue’s freewheeling spirit and protect it from becoming increasingly corporate and exclusionary under its new director, Chris Dercon, the former director of Tate Modern in London,” artnet News said. Dercon had offered them the use of two portions of the Volksbühne for their occupation, so they could continue to protest but the building could still be used by staff and performers who needed to rehearse, but the collective refused. After negotiations about the theater’s management structure and other issues broke down, Dercon filed a police complaint on Wednesday night, according to Hyperallergic. The international artist coalition Hands Off Our Revolution and the art platform e-flux subsequently published an open letter to Dercon encouraging him to seek “a resolution of this conflict through dialogue and engagement with the cultural community.” It is not clear what the protesters will be charged with.

03 Art historians have discovered a 1620s Rubens masterpiece, missing for almost 400 years, hanging in a historic Glasgow house.

(via The Telegraph and The Scotsman)

Dr. Bendor Grosvenor, a writer and art historian, spotted the portrait of George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham, in the Pollok House in Scotland, and suspected it might be by 17th-century Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens. Previously dismissed as “merely a copy,” Rubenshuis Museum experts in Antwerp reportedly confirmed the authenticity of the portrait, which shows the the duke (and lover of Scottish King James VI). Sir William Stirling Maxwell, an art collector and former owner of the Pollok House, likely purchased the work in the late 19th century, which is now worth tens of millions of pounds, according to The Scotsman. Glasgow Museums, which maintains the art collection of the Pollok House, announced that the artwork will go on display in its flagship gallery, Kelvingrove. David McDonald, chair of the organization responsible for running the museums, Glasgow Life, said, “we are beyond delighted to discover the painting is by Rubens, an artist renowned globally as one of the most important painters in history.”

04  MoMA PS1 director Klaus Biesenbach is helping relief efforts for those in Puerto Rico affected by Hurricane Maria.

(via artnet News and Artforum)

The hurricane was the worst to hit Puerto Rico in nearly a century, causing power to go out for the entire island. Biesenbach will be accepting donations at PS1 at least through October 9th. “Biesenbach has been active in storm relief efforts since Hurricane Sandy devastated his part-time home and curatorial space in the Rockaways,” artnet News reported. He also worked on organizing a procession through the Puerto Rican jungle in January of this year, as part of a work by artist Papa Colo. Biesenbach told Artforum there is also a Facebook group where people can find out what supplies are needed and communicate with those on the island. “Among the items considered necessities for those impacted by the storm are solar-powered chargers, lanterns, radios, gas stoves, headlamps, batteries, baby items, and USB car chargers, as well as medications for asthma and allergies, immune system boosters such as Emergen-C, and equipment for cleaning up debris such as masks and gloves,” Artforum reported. Readers can also donate directly to the Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund here.

05  A work at Skulptur Projekte Münster was vandalized with a swastika for the second time this summer.

(via ARTnews)

The sculpture, Sketch for a Fountain (2017) by artist Nicole Eisenman, was vandalized last Friday night ahead of the German elections, that saw Germany’s far-right, anti-immigrant party Alternative for Germany, or AfD, enter the country’s parliament with almost 13 percent of its seats, according to the BBC. The sculpture “was spray-painted with a swastika, a phallus, and other imagery,” ARTnews reported. On her personal Facebook page, the artist related the incident to the rise of the German far right. This is the second time Eisenman’s work for the institution has been attacked this summer, the first instance occurring July. “We are deeply disgusted by such a violation and understand this as an attack against the values of the work,” Skulptur Projekte Münster’s organizers said in a statement. The sculpture, described by ARTnews as “a plaster and bronze fountain made up of a group of androgynous figures,” dealt with “ambiguity and non-normative body politics,” in the words of the Skulpture Projekte team. The team reported that another nearby sculpture of an 18th-century feminist poet was similarly denigrated.

06  Frieze Art Fairs has appointed Loring Randolph as Artistic Director (Americas).

(via Frieze)

The fair announced on Monday that Randolph will take up the post in mid-October. Randolph, who spent 11 years as a partner at Casey Kaplan, will play a “key role” in shaping the mission and form of Frieze New York, according to the fair’s press release. She will also serve as a liaison for galleries and collectors across the Americas. “I am delighted to be joining Frieze, to build on the integrity of Frieze New York and continue to grow the Frieze presence throughout the Americas,” Randolph said in a statement. She replaces Abby Bangser, who moved to the Dia Art Foundation in May, as the liaison for galleries, curators, and collectors from across the Americas and of Frieze New York. “Loring will bring dynamism and new perspectives to her role as Artistic Director (Americas), I am thrilled to welcome her to the Frieze team and I am really looking forward to working with her on Frieze New York,” added Victoria Siddall, director of Frieze’s New York, London, and Masters fairs.

07  A cartoonist from Equatorial Guinea known for criticizing the country’s dictator has been arrested.

(via PRI)

Ramón Esono Ebalé was arrested in mid-September when he was visiting the small, oil-rich West African nation to renew his passport. Esono, who goes by the pen name Jamón y Queso, had been living in exile in Paraguay. He had been a critic of the country’s ruthless dictator, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, using cartoons described as “crude and outrageous and…focus[ed] squarely on President Obiang and his repressive leadership.” In 2014, he wrote a graphic novel called “Obi’s Nightmare,” in which Obiang wakes up as a normal Equatorial Guinean  citizen and experiences all of the attendant indignities; it is possible a copy may have fallen into the wrong hands, prompting his arrest. Esono is now being held at the notorious Black Beach prison, where political prisoners have been known to experience torture, and the withholding of medical treatment and food.

08  The Studio Museum in Harlem unveiled plans for its new David Adjaye-designed building, with construction to begin in 2018.

(via the New York Times)

The museum space is set to close in January 2018, the museum’s 50th anniversary, and re-open in 2021. During construction, interim projects will continue in other locations. The museum has already raised $125 million as part of recent fundraising efforts, 70 percent of its $175 million goal. The Studio Museum is a major showcase for African-American art, and under the leadership of director Thelma Golden, the institution cemented its reputation as a national institution and local community center. It also provides “a model of how to develop racially diverse trustees, staff members and audiences,” notes the Times. The museum’s success and upcoming renovation is due in large part to Golden, who is rumored to be under consideration to fill vacant top posts at other museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has also received praise from the many members of the art world, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s director, Michael Govan, and director of the Museum of Modern Art, Glenn Lowry.

09  An Osaka court ruled that tattoos are not art in a case that attracted international attention to Japan’s laws restricting body art earlier this year.

(via Japan Times)

The court found tattoo artist Taiki Masuda guilty of violating the country’s Medical Practitioners’ Law, which prohibits administering tattoos without a doctor’s license. Masuda, who operated a tattoo parlor in Osaka, was charged with tattooing three individuals in 2014 and 2015. He was convicted by a lower court earlier this year and ordered to pay ¥300,000 (roughly $2,700). Masuda appealed, arguing that tattoos are works of art and forms of self-expression, not medical procedures that require a doctor. The district court disagreed in a ruling Wednesday, citing health concerns related to tattooing. “Unless carried out by a doctor, there is a danger to health and no guarantee of sanitation, making this a medical activity,” Osaka District Court Judge Takaaki Nagase wrote in his ruling. Though Nagase cut Masuda’s fine in half, his lawyer Michiko Kameishi charged any fine sends a troubling message to tattoo artists. “The point is not whether he had to pay even ¥10,000 but that the ruling was unfair. He shouldn’t have had to pay anything,” Kameishi told the Japan Times.

10  The inaugural $250,000 “Sotheby’s Prize” will be split between the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and Duke University’s Nasher Museum of Art.

(via Sotheby’s)

The award was created to support and expand “thought-provoking museum exhibitions….that explore overlooked or under-represented areas of art history,” according to the press release. The five-member jury (which included eminent art world figures such as Okwui Enwezor and Sir Nicholas Serota) considered 92 applications for the prize. The panel ultimately awarded $125,000 each to the MCA Chicago for “Many Tongues: Art, Language, and Revolution in the Middle East and South Asia,” slated to open on October 26, 2019, and to the Nasher Museum for “Pop América, 1965–1975,” which is planned to debut on February 21, 2019. “In one instance, we are helping to turn a big idea into reality and, in the other instance, we are enabling the fulfilment of a fully-researched concept that now needs to be executed,” Serota said.
