SUMMARY:Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, is a conversation between Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood\, author and curator of MoMA PS1’s exhibition Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, and formerly incarcerated artist\, Ojore Lutalo. During this discussion\, Ojore will discuss his experience making art in solitary confinement\, working with Dr. Nicole on the exhibition and the work he does with American Friends of Service Committee. \nThis program is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Voices from Outside: Critical Resistance on view at the CJ Gallery\, located on the 5th floor of Rutgers University – Newark’s Criminal Justice Building. \nRSVP here! \nhttp://bit.ly/2PslaqX \nDr. Nicole R. Fleetwood is Professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University- New Brunswick. She is a writer\, curator\, and art critic whose interests are contemporary black diasporic art and visual culture\, photography studies\, art and public practice\, performance studies\, gender and feminist studies\, black cultural history\, creative nonfiction\, prison abolition and carceral studies\, and poverty studies. She is the author of three books: Marking Time: Art in the Era of Mass Incarceration (Harvard University Press\, 2020)\, On Racial Icons: Blackness and the Public Imagination (Rutgers University Press\, 2015)\, and Troubling Vision: Performance\, Visuality\, and Blackness\, which was the recipient of the 2012 Lora Romero First Book Publication Prize of the American Studies Association. Her articles appear in African American Review\, American Quarterly\, Aperture\, Callaloo: Art and Culture in the African Diaspora\, The Conversation\, LitHub\, Public Books\, Public Culture\, Signs\, Social Text\, art catalogues\, and edited anthologies. Fleetwood received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in the Program in Modern Thought and Literature and her B.Phil. from the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami University (Ohio). Her upcoming exhibition\, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, will be on view at MoMA PS1 from April 5\, 2020 – August 23\, 2020. \nThe artist Ojore Lutalo was released from Trenton State Penitentiary August 26th\, 2009 by way of a court order. He maxed out after 28 years\, 22 of which were spent in the Management Control Unit (Solitary Confinement). In order to keep his sanity during his internment\, Ojore abided by a strict regiment of physical exercise\, mediation and study. Over the years Ojore was asked repeatedly to describe the conditions that he faced on a daily basis. These requests ranged from simple curiosity as to the physical particulars of his cell and surroundings to the profound emotional pressures and struggles associated with long term solitary confinement. Ojore began creating his political propaganda both as a way to maintain his sanity and to more adequately convey to his friends the physical and emotional reality he experienced within solitary confinement. For the last 22 years of his confinement Ojore created a wide range of art pieces offering his unique perspective. Since his release is 2008\, Ojore dedicates himself to assisting the American Friends Service Committee in its attempt to expose the true nature and extent of long term isolation\, its effect both on the prisoner individually as well as society at large. This outreach often involves speaking engagements in which he uses artwork to re-enforce his text\, finding visuals often communicate more effectively than a purely oral presentation.

SUMMARY:Now Open: "Exquisite Corpse"
DESCRIPTION:The Exquisite Corpse (“Cadavre Exquis”) was a favorite Surrealist game from the 1920s onwards. The game involves multiple participants contributing to a single drawing. Traditionally\, participants create their section of the drawing and then cover it so the next person is ‘drawing blind.’ Once all participants have finished\, the drawing is unfolded and revealed. \nIn 2010\, we commissioned 92 artists of the region to produce 30 drawings\, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Paul Robeson Galleries. In the spirit of Paul Robeson\, we sought to promote free speech and creative expression\, reflecting a multitude of voices through our exhibitions\, programs\, and publications. The anniversary exhibition manifested Paul Robeson Galleries’ mission of inclusivity\, participation\, and community outreach\, and we are pleased to present a selection of the works. \nArtists: Perry Angelora\, Nakeya B\, Nina Lola Bacchuber\, Suzanne Kammin Baron\, Alaine Becker\, Lauren Simkin Berke\, Pat Brentano\, Michele Brody\, Karen Brummund\, Emanuele James Cacciatore\, Rodriguez Calero\, Robert Carioscia\, Megan Cedro\, Nancy Cohen\, Yvette Cohen\, Copie\, Laura Cuevas\, Patricia Dahlman\, Agnes DeBethune\, Paul Di Zefalo\, Molly Dilworth\, Marisa Dipaola\, Asya Dodina\, Nisha Drinkard\, Jordan Eagles\, Eileen Ferera\, David Rios Ferreira\, Sean Patrick Gallagher\, Jerry Gant\, Florencio Gelabert\, Irene Gennaro\, Beth Gilfilen\, Bonnie Gloris\, Dan Gluibizzi\, Jr\, Michelle Orsi Gordon\, Matt Louis Gosser\, Jaz Graf\, James Horner\, Jenny Kanzler\, Jen Keshka\, Ana Garces Kiley\, Sol Kjok\, Nick Kline\, Nadine LaFond\, Yen-Hua Lee\, Greg Leshe\, I-Ling Eleen Lin\, So Yoon Lym\, Mary Kate Maher\, China Marks\, Caitlin Masley\, Caroline Anne McAuliffe\, Anne Queeny McKeown\, Terina Nicole McKinney\, Darren McManus\, Meridith McNeal\, Lucia Warck Meister\, Emmy Mikelson\, Hannah Joanne Mishin\, Jason Mones\, Narciso Montero\, Brian Oakes\, Amy Ortiz\, Roberto Osti\, Courtnay Papy\, John A.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Mirror Mirror"
DESCRIPTION:Paul Robeson Galleries at Express Newark is pleased to present\, Mirror Mirror\, an exhibition and publication featuring contemporary artists whose work could be classified as portraiture (in the broadest sense of the word). A portrait is most commonly recognized as a likeness of the face\, or upper part of the human form. \nParticipating artists: Manuel Acevedo\, Zoë Charlton\, Paolo Cirio\, David Antonio Cruz\, Kevin Darmanie\, E.V. Day\, Leah DeVun\, Nona Faustine\, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh\, Anne-Karin Furunes\, Phyllis Galembo\, Chitra Ganesh\, William Kentridge\, Riva Lehrer\, Ani Liu\, Jessamyn Lovell\, Hyphen-Labs\, Peggie Miller\, Anna Ogier-Bloomer\, Polixeni Papapetrou\, Patricia Piccinini\, Wendy Red Star\, Faith Ringgold\, Kevin Blythe Sampson\, María Verónica San Martín\, Leo Selvaggio\, Laura Splan\, Dread Scott\, Beat Streuli\, Arne Svenson\, Shoshanna Weinberger\, Deborah Willis\, Martha Wilson \nThe artworks challenge dominant paradigms about such things as gender\, race\, age\, societal norms\, technology\, and beauty. The emphasis on the exhibition is on provoking curiosity and discussion rather than providing a definitive definition of what constitutes a ‘portrait’. The diverse array of artists in have approached the subject of portraiture in a multitude of ways. Some have chosen to work with traditional\, realistic representations of the human face\, while others have used unconventional materials to create abstract references. Artists have looked to the past for inspiration – questioning who have created portraits and what agendas have been served through the process. Artists have looked to their immediate environment – friends family and strangers – to reexamine their world\, critiquing implicit assumptions and biases. Other visionary artists look forwards to create images of aspirational and inspirational potential future worlds.
