The ""blk alter"" of Avery R. Young's poetic vision makes its
stunning debut in a multidisciplinary arsenal entitled, neckbone:
visual verses. Young's years of supernatural fieldwork within the
black experience and the gospel of his transitions between poetry,
art and music, become the stitch, paint brush, metaphor, and
narrative of arresting visual metaphors of childhood teachings and
traumas, identity, and the personal reverence of pop culture's
beauty and beast. A mastermind in a new language of poetry, that
engages and challenges readers to see beyond the traditional spaces
poems are shaped and exist, Young's neckbone extends tentacles in
literature, art, and activism-redefining the collective and the
sermon of the ""blk"" experience.
Art History and Emergency assesses art history's role and
responsibilities in what has been described as the "humanities
crisis"-the perceived decline in the practical applications of the
humanities in modern times. This timely collection of critical
essays and creative pieces addresses several thought-provoking
questions on the subject. For instance, as this so-called crisis is
but the latest of many, what part has "crisis" played in the
humanities' history? How are artists, art historians, and
professionals in related disciplines responding to current
pressures to prove their worth? How does one defend the practical
value of knowing how to think deeply about objects and images
without losing the intellectual intensity that characterizes the
best work in the discipline? Does art history as we know it have a
future? Distributed for the Clark Art Institute
