The reason why I began making quilts is that I wrote my autobiography in 1980 and couldn't get it published because I wanted to tell my story, and my story didn't appear to be appropriate for African-American women.

TECHNICAL DREAMING - original art

$900.00

Inspired by a random basquiat piece, I decided to replace elements of the painting with my own objects while retaining the original symmetry between objects in the original paitning.

I would classify this as #PopSurrealism

The Met has a special installation titled “Crossings,” which features the 1851 painting (2nd slide) by Emanuel Leutze with later interpretations or variations by Robert Colescott (1st slide) and Kara Walker (3rd slide). The Met explains: “Each of these works confronts the biases of American history and mythmaking, while revealing the role art plays in shaping popular narratives.” It’s up through the spring (no specific date listed yet), see it if you can! #arthistory #georgewashington #georgewashingtoncarver #art #robertcolescott #emanuelleutze #karawalker #themet (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXr_VzO-q6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kara Walker: 'Apparently, the only thing I am is black' @kara_walker_official

“The Turbine Hall is like a grand prize,” says Walker. “You’ve been offered this gargantuan space and it’s all yours. It’s irresistible.” Walker learned she would be taking over this 85ft tall hall year before. She was the first black woman to do so.

In the Black Fantastic ‘Afrofuturism’ is a sub-genre that takes aim at the heart of racial injustice. This exhibition celebrates the Black artists who wield that utopian weapon. ‘In the Black Fantastic’ at ‘Hayward Gallery’ uses sci-fi to imagine a future beyond inequality, beyond racism, in a powerful and affecting fashion. ‘In the Black Fantastic’ starts with Nick Cave (not that one) and his wearable sculptures, first created in response to the brutal police murder of Rodney King in LA in 1991. They’re fantastical, glittery, hyper-colour costumes that allow the wearer to transform themselves, to sculpt and define their identity, obscuring their race and gender. They’re defiant, empowering and brazen. Wangechi Mutu also makes art to destroy hierarchies, with watery collages of hybrid beings that exist behind tropes and stereotypes. Then there’s Hew Locke’s Black warriors on horseback, elaborate militaristic figures that look like statues of future generals, and Tabita Rezaire’s psychedelic mirrored room with its pyramid glistening in the centre. Downstairs is young American artist Sedrick Chisom’s incredible visions of a post-apocalyptic future earth where all people of colour have left and the skin of those who remain has started to darken. They’re funny, threatening, imposing paintings, humming with satirical tension. Upstairs are Chris Ofili’s enormous mythology-inspired paintings of the Odyssey transplanted to Trinidad and Ellen Gallagher’s subaquatic visions of Drexciya, the Black Atlantis. ‘In the Black Fantastic’, ‘Hayward Gallery’ until September 18, 2022. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #love #afrofuturism #nickcave #soundsuits #chainreaction #sedrickchisom #ellengallagher #wangechimutu #tabitarezaire #chrisofili #karawalker #blackexperience #blackhistory #vision #poetry #haywardgallery #intheblackfantasic (at Hayward Gallery at Southbank Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfn9ImHIwgy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“What kind of fight should we carry on in art?” This was a question raised by one of the students who were attended a two-day exploration of human empathy led by artist Kara Walker along writer Rebecca Walker in Turin, Italy in 2011, Walker responded, “Well, the struggle for quite a long time has been to make work as a woman artist, or woman artist of color, without necessarily having to explain what being a woman artist, or a woman of color, actually is, all the time, without assuming that the audience viewing the work or listening or reading is something other than you.” (p. 167)

Kara Walker : a negress of noteworthy talent Attribution: a cura di Olga Gambari ; [testi, Richard Flood ... [et al.]]. Author / Creator: Walker, Kara Elizabeth Torino : Fondazione Merz, c2011. 207 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 22 cm.

Black women have never embraced feminism. They didn't embrace it in the '50s and '60s; they're not embracing it now. That's not new. I think it's a tendency among women in general not to be supportive of each other.
