Luminos/C/ity.Ordinary Joy: From the Pigozzi Contemporary African
Art Collection celebrates the inaugural exhibition of the same name
at the Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African & African American
Art at the Hutchins Center in Fall 2014. Curators David Adjaye and
Mariane Ibrahim-Lenhardt share their interpretative insights on a
distinctive selection of objects from Jean Pigozzi's superb
Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC). The catalog includes
introductory texts by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Jean Pigozzi and
is illustrated with full-color images of the exhibition art from
twenty-one artists of the African continent. It also features
essays from Cooper Gallery Director Vera Grant, Newark Museum
Curator Christa Clarke, and Studio Museum in Harlem Director Thelma
Golden. The works discussed range from photography of the 1940s to
video produced some seventy years later, and together the essays
reflect upon and explore the exhibition as "a critical thesis on
the contemporary condition of the continent, one which sees the
city as a device to explore the complexities and nuances of urban
life." A considered part of the full exhibition experience, the
catalog offers the reader entry into these cityscapes and the
brilliant light of ordinary joy.
