Hall Marcia B.: The Lingering Look

The Lingering Look

Discovering the Unexpected in Art

In collaboration with the estate of Bill Traylor, this publication offers a comprehensive look at the self-taught artist’s distinctive imagery, which mixes subjects and iconography from the American South with a strong formalistic treatment of color, shape, and surface.Born into slavery, Traylor spent much of his life after the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation working as a farm laborer in rural Alabama and, later, as a shoemaker and factory worker in Montgomery. In 1939, at approximately the age of 85, having never previously trained or studied art in any formal way, Traylor began making drawings and works on paper using gouache and other media. Though he continued to make art for the remainder of his life, Traylor was most prolific between 1939 and 1942, creating a body of work that offers a unique and rich registry of his life, experience, and insights.This monograph weaves beautiful reproductions of Traylor’s works with essays by and conversations with his descendants, offering a unique and deeply personal look at this artist whose work exists in the collections of many notable institutions in the United States but whose story has never been fully told.

Kurdish Studies

"This book focuses on the cultural and intellectual activities of Kurdish migrant women through artistic and aesthetic forms of production in Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK. Using in-depth interviews with over 40 Kurdish women artists, Ozlem Galip examines how artistic, literary and cultural productions, incorporating the fields of film, theatre and music, are articulated within the structures of nation states, leading to the interrogation of the impact of western and local knowledge, patriarchy, the nation-state and globalisation. Galip also analyses how European policies affect the development of cultural engagement of Kurdish migrant women, and how such engagements help these women to integrate into European society"--

'This groundbreaking volume critically engages with debates on art and displacement, while also advancing vital reflections on ethical practices in museums working with artists of refugee backgrounds - offering rich insights for scholars and students in the intersecting fields of cultural history, art history, and curatorial studies.' --Professor Anne Ring Petersen, University of Copenhagen With the rise of humanitarianism and international refugee laws in the 20th century, visual representations of refugees and their forced displacement permeated the cultural sphere. Understanding displacement aesthetics offers a groundbreaking analysis of the role of visual culture, art and art museums in shaping ideas about people forced to flee. The book identifies the refugee as a cultural figure, analysing the longer history of visual motifs and tropes and their ongoing presence in the contemporary world. Highlighting displaced artists in contemporary contexts, the book explores the barriers they face and their aesthetic outcomes. Language, identity and labour are identified as critical factors informing how art is made, curated, collected and understood by the public. Advancing the new concept of 'displacement aesthetics' - the negotiation of representation, lived experience and institutions - the interdisciplinary research underpinning this book provides a major intervention into the fields of cultural history, art history, and museum studies. Combining archival research, analysis of art, and curatorial research with artists and museums, Understanding displacement aesthetics presents new insights into the role of art and culture in mediating this pressing social and political issue in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Understanding Displacement Aesthetics

This book is a blueprint for artists looking to engage with activist movements with a persistent longevity and a reminder that art has the power to be more dangerous than words.
Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance is Susan Simensky Bietila's story of her six decades as a movement artist and activist and a lifetime of artistic collaborations rooted in her activist experience. Growing up during McCarthyism, she rejected the nationalist masculinity of elite art and conformist culture and found feminism and collectivism as new forms of resistance. She became an artist in the New Left, creating illustrations for radical underground publications including RAT, Subterranean News, and comics for the anarchic World War 3 Illustrated.
With more than one hundred images, Front Lines documents her art on the page and in action featuring protest banners and giant puppets of birds and fish carried in the streets, masks of notorious dictators for street theater, posters pasted on walls and hung in radical spaces, community art builds, and more. Visual storytelling and detailed captions contextualize and bring to life her work with movements including antiwar protests during the Viet Nam era, Indigenous led antimine and antipipeline struggles, water protection, immigrant rights, anticorporate globalization convening, protests against the state and capital, Palestinian liberation actions, and collaborations with groups throughout the Great Lakes region and beyond. She agitates from the roots and the front lines to this day.

A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance

Front Lines

Through a series of newly-commissioned conversations by renowned artists, writers, and scholars, in produced in collaboration with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, In New Light offers new entry points into the iconic American modernist. An extremely well-known painter and cultural figure, O’Keeffe’s persona and biography have remained as much a part of her story as her innovations within and contributions to modernist painting. What are the questions that need to be asked (and critiques to be raised and considered) about her work and legacy today?
 Included is a fully illustrated summary of O’Keeffe’s work — from very early pieces to her latest paintings, with both significant masterworks as well as less-known pieces. Photographs of the artist, her residence in Abiquiú, and other objects and ephemera in the Museum’s collection appear throughout this chronological plate section.
 In addition to the O’Keeffe Museum, the artist’s work is held in countless major public collections, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Dallas),&nbsp;Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum,&nbsp;National Gallery of Art (Washington), and The White House (Washington, DC).
