The artist's deceptively beautiful work--colorful tapestries and
garden-inspired installations created out of faux flowers, glitter,
sequins, fabric, toys, beads, jewelry, and other
embellishments--comes to life at The New York Botanical
Garden, where she employs the beauty and symbolism of living plants
to unearth the complex entanglements of race, gender and
colonialism. Accompanying a major site-specific exhibition of
sculptural and horticultural installations by artist Ebony G.
Patterson at The New York Botanical Garden, this volume provides
deeper insights into Patterson’s multilayered practice. The
artist’s work has long examined and experimented with the concept
of the garden through a practice that uses beauty as an invitation
to confront larger societal questions and concerns.
The Personalization of the Museum Visit examines a fundamental
shift in institutional behavior in museums located in the United
States and the United Kingdom. Contending that art museums have
moved toward a new paradigm of public engagement, it posits that
modern museum visitors are treated as self-directed "clients", with
the agency to make meaning for themselves. The book then considers
how this change has come about, examining factors such as the onset
of a new museology, an experience economy, and a marketing
revolution. Drawing on extensive research undertaken at Britain's
Tate Modern, the book examines a range of issues, including visitor
engagement, curatorial practice, and museum management. A visit
experience that is customizable to the individual visitor, in which
curators and marketers work together with visitor-clients to create
an experience of personalized meaning, is, Rodney argues, rising in
prevalence in the art museum field, but it is also being stymied by
certain structural impediments. This book examines such obstacles,
including institutional division of labor, long-standing
conceptions, or misconceptions, of the museum's mission, and the
orientation of museums toward a certain conceptual model of their
visitors. The Personalization of the Museum Visit is essential
reading for scholars and students engaging with issues of visitor
engagement, curatorial practice, and museum management. With a
particular focus on the role of business interests and public
policy, the book should also be of interest to those undertaking
research in fields outside of museum and visitor studies.
A vivid and moving celebration of the ways that Black Americans
have shaped and been shaped by photography, from its inception to
the present day. A Picture Gallery of the Soul presents the work of
more than one hundred Black American artists whose practice
incorporates the photographic medium. Organized by the Katherine E.
Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota, this group exhibition
samples a range of photographic expressions produced over three
centuries, from traditional photography to mixed media and
conceptual art. From the daguerreotypes made by Jules Lion in New
Orleans in 1840 to the Instagram post of the Baltimore Uprising
made by Devin Allen in 2015, photography has chronicled Black
American life, and Black Americans have defined the possibilities
of photography. Frederick Douglass recognized the quick, easy, and
inexpensive reproducibility of photography and developed a
theoretical framework for understanding its impact on public
discourse, which he delivered as a series of four lectures during
the Civil War. It has been widely acknowledged that Douglass, the
subject of 160 photographic portraits and the most photographed
American of the nineteenth century, anticipated that the history of
American photography and the history of Black American culture and
politics would be deeply intertwined. A Picture Gallery of the Soul
honors the diverse visions of Blackness made manifest through the
lens of photography. Published in association with the Katherine E.
Nash Gallery. Exhibition dates: Katherine E. Nash Gallery:
September 13-December 10, 2022.
