“In order to tell the truth, you need to invent what might be missing from the archive, to collapse time . . . to formally move things around in a way that reveals something more true than fact.”

Simone Leigh (b. 1967) is an American artist whose work focuses on explorations of community, Black feminism, and the traditions and material culture of the African diaspora. Over the past two decades, Leigh has created artwork that situates questions of Black femme-identified subjectivity at the center of contemporary artistic discourse. Her sculpture, video, installation, and social practice explore ideas of race, beauty, and community in visual and material culture. Leigh often draws her concepts and inspirations from anthropological, historical, and colonial archives that represent stereotypical views of black women through a European lens. She creates new forms incorporating her research on these archives with African aesthetics and Black feminist concepts.

In 2022, Leigh was the first black woman to represent the United States in the Venice Biennale.

For #InternationalWomensDay + #WomensHistoryMonth: Marianne North is almost always labeled a botanical artist, but 121 of her Kew Gardens paintings also feature animals, like this one:

Marianne North (English, 1830-1890) Foliage, Flowers and Fruit of a Queensland Tree, and Black Cockatoo c. 1880-1 painting, oil on board H 50.9 x W 35.4 cm Kew Gardens Marianne North Gallery [MN790]

PS - This bird is misidentified on the Kew Gardens website as a Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii), but it's actually a Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Zanda funerea) - the yellow cheek patch distinguishes it as the latter:

You can view all of Marianne North's paintings with animals in them here:

Bonus: Here's an actual Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (male) by Eileen Mayo, from her poster series made for the Australian National Travel Association in the 1950s. Fun wordplay here too - the bird's scientific name is Calyptorhynchus banksii and she placed it on a Banksia plant. :)

Eileen Mayo (1906-1994) AUSTRALIA / COCKATOO & BANKSIA c. 1955-7 poster, 39 3/4x25 inches, 101x63 1/2 cm. Australian National Travel Association

Laura Payne

who is a also a painter, has installation work on display with Sinéad Ludwig-Burgess at Okotoks Art Gallery through March 31. Of the work, Payne says she was influenced by “those subtle-but-vivid spectrums of colour in the cloudless sky at dawn or dusk, or the way that hot pink light in November hits the buildings in the city. What I guess I wanted to do is synthesize, artificially, this sort of…

Rinは優雅に動きながら、体のバランスを上手く保ちながら運動しています。彼女の体は弾力があり、健康的に見えます。 . ジムでのトレーニング時間では、彼女のエネルギーは強く、ダイナミックに流れながらも、トレーニング中でも常に安定したバランスを保ちます。 . ヨガスタジオでのトレーニングでは、彼女は静的なバランスとエネルギーを調和させて表現します。彼女は体と心を一つにするヨガのポーズを優雅に行いながら、バランスを上手く保ちます。 . さらに、彼女はあなたの上に立ち、エネルギーを発散することもあります。あなたは彼女と一緒にヨガのポーズを取っています。Rinはあなたのエネルギーを受け取り、一瞬爆発するように反応しながらも、依然として体のエネルギーを保っています。 . 動きは優雅でありながら、バランスを取りながら流れるエネルギーの調和を示しています。 . . Rin은 우아하게 움직이는 모습으로, 몸의 균형을 잘 유지하면서 운동하고 있습니다. 그녀의 몸은 탄력 있고 건강해 보입니다. . Gym에서의 운동 시간에 그녀의 에너지는 강하고 다이내믹하게 흐르면서도, 운동 도중에도 항상 안정된 밸런스를 유지합니다. . Yoga 스튜디오에서 운동하는 그녀는 정적인 밸런스와 에너지를 조화롭게 표현합니다. 그녀는 몸과 마음을 하나로 합치는 요가 포즈를 우아하게 수행하면서 균형을 잘 유지합니다. . 또한 그녀는 당신의 위에 올라서서 에너지를 발산하기도 합니다. 당신은 그녀와 함께 요가자세를 취하고 있습니다. Rin은 당신의 에너지를 받아 순간적으로 폭발하듯 반응하며 몸을 잠시 멈추기도 하지만, 여전히 몸의 에너지를 유지하고 있습니다. 움직임은 우아하면서도 균형을 잡으며 흐르는 에너지의 조화로움을 보여줍니다.

Happy Birthday to Anni Albers who was born on this day in 1899. Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile artist, designer, printmaker, and educator known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings and weavings.

Beginning in 1970, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly until 1980. This publication is a facsimile of her only known notebook which shows her working process.

The notebook follows Albers's deliberations and progression as a draftsman in their original form. It reveals the way she went about making complex patterns, exploring them piece by piece, line by line, in a visually dramatic and mysteriously beautiful series of geometric arrangements.

Anni Albers : Notebook 1970-1980 Editor, Lucas Zwirner ; afterword, Brenda Danilowitz. New York, NY : David Zwirner Books, [2017] HOLLIS number: 990152251350203941
