The Cowboy, Reconsidered: the enduring myth of the cowboy is a
richer, more diverse story than most understand. In this survey,
some of the most important artists working today take up the cowboy
through the lens of queer, Black, Asian, and Latinx perspectives.
Perhaps no other figure in the American popular imagination
conjures the respect, mystery, and adoration than that of the
cowboy. And it s long been a favorite subject of artists from the
early twentieth century to today. In this unique exhibition and
accompanying catalogue, the cowboy is explored in depth from
diverse perspectives and lived experience, ushering in a new vision
for this long-standing pop icon. Director Nora Burnett Abrams
considers the cowboy through historical perspectives, breaking down
the myth and mystique. In an extended interview, curator Miranda
Lash talks with queer Latinx artist rafa esparza who considers the
vaquero (the Spanish term for cowboy) in his work. And Jongwoo
Jeremy Kim explores issues around masculinity in Asian American
cowboy communities. Artist List: Amy Sherald, Deana Lawson, Wendy
Red Star, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Cruz Ortiz, John Baldessari, Mel
Chin, Alex Da Corte, Angela Ellsworth, rafa esparza, Karl Haendel,
Luis Jimenez, Kahlil Joseph, Grace Kennison, Yowshien Kuo, Laurel
Nakadate, Richard Prince, Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe, Ana Segovia,
Stephanie Syjuco, Kenneth Tam, Ken Taylor, Salla Tykka, Andy
Warhol, and Nathan Young.
Over the course of his career, Eamon Ore-Giron has examined the
personal and historical ramifications of cultural hybridity. Raised
in Tucson, Ore-Giron is inspired by his roots in the American
Southwest, his visits to his father s hometown of Huancayo, Peru,
and his time spent as a practicing artist in California and Mexico.
This catalogue brings together for the first time three pivotal
chapters in Ore-Giron s career: his Southwest and Peruvian-inspired
figurative works from the 2000s; his paintings from the 2010s that
engaged elements of both figuration and abstraction, including an
ongoing series focused on Mesoamerican deities; and the sublime
gold-based paintings from his recent Infinite Regress series.
Curator Miranda Lash, along with celebrated scholars C. Ondine
Chavoya and Jace Clayton, explore Ore-Giron s approach to
de-colonizing the medium of painting, his impact within in the Los
Angeles art scene, and his seminal work as a DJ who highlights the
intersections between North and South American sound.

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,
