    hyperallergic: “In Painting We Discover Demons; If We Don’t Exorcise Them They Devour Your Ass!” Jack Whitten lecturing at SCAD (All photos by the author for Hyperallergic) SAVANNAH, Georgia -  Traditionally, art history is contained on objects — the artifacts that artists leave behind and populate our museums and galleries, offering aesthetic arguments, disagreements, and manifestos. But the messier, less packaged-up side of art history is hidden in the people who lived it. That much was certainly clear from a lecture at Savannah College of Art and Design’s 2013 deFINE Art conference. View Post

    WATCH: The Artist’s Voice feat. Kira Lynn Harris

    On March 29, 2012 Assistant Curator Lauren Haynes sat down with Kira Lynn Harris to discuss her current exhibition Kira Lynn Harris: The Block | Bellona. In this exhibition, Harris reimagines The Block (1971), Romare Bearden’s iconic, six-panel, eighteen-foot-long collage depicting life in Harlem. With The Block as a touchstone, Harris, whose interdisciplinary practice mixes video, photography, drawing, painting and site-specific installation, creates a scene of a contemporary, alternate Harlem.

    Please join us for a dialogue with Jennie C. Jones and WQXR’s Terrance McKnight. Jones dubs her artistic approach “listening as a conceptual practice,” a deceptively sparse way of describing her exploration of music and sound in material form. For Jones, “listening” describes a space of negotiation between noise and silence, art object and environment, and histories of the avant-garde. We will listen to the music that has informed her practice as Jones discusses the ways in which her interest in sound and music has shaped the work currently featured in Shift: Projects | Perspectives | Directions. This program is free with museum admission. RSVPs are required. Seating is limited. Studio Museum members receive priority seating, subject to availability. RSVP today!
