Featuring the work of sixty artists and including 300
illustrations, the catalog Southern Accent accompanies a major
contemporary art exhibition that questions and explores the complex
and contested space of the American South. This unprecedented
exhibition investigates the many realities, fantasies, and myths of
the South that have long captured the public's imagination, while
presenting a wide range of perspectives that create a composite
portrait of southern identity through contemporary art. It looks at
the South as an open-ended question and concept in itself by
encompassing a broad spectrum of media and approaches,
demonstrating that southernness is more of a shared sensibility
than any one definable culture or style. While the exhibition
includes artwork from the 1950s to the present, it primarily
focuses on the past thirty-five years. With numerous contributions
by artists, scholars, musicians, and poets, a music-listening
library, and a timeline of scholarship on southern art, this
catalog redefines the way we look at the South in contemporary art.
Southern Accent will be on display at the Nasher Museum of Art at
Duke University from September 1, 2016 to January 8, 2017 and at
the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, from April 29, 2017,
to August 20, 2017. Contributors. Diego Camposeco, Mel Chin,
