EyeMinded de Kellie Jones

EyeMinded

Autor Kellie Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2011

Publicat de Duke University Press, volumul EyeMinded se deschide ca o hartă intelectuală și afectivă a scenei artistice din Manhattan și Newark, fiind rezultatul unei vieți imersate în activism și cultură. Reținem aici nu doar rigoarea cercetării academice, ci și o experiență senzorială a textului, unde vocea criticului de artă Kellie Jones se împletește organic cu moștenirea literară a părinților săi, poeții Hettie Jones și Amiri Baraka. Această structură dialogică transformă analiza estetică într-o conversație intimă, oferind cititorului privilegiul de a vedea arta contemporană prin prisma unei istorii personale profunde. Remarcăm felul în care cele 27 de ilustrații punctează eseuri și interviuri esențiale cu artiști care au redefinit granițele vizualului, de la Jean-Michel Basquiat la Martin Puryear. Colecționarii care au apreciat All These Liberations de Taylor Renee Aldridge vor găsi aici aceeași calitate de reproducere a ideilor și o preocupare similară pentru vocile feminine și ale diasporei. Dacă în South of Pico autoarea se concentra pe comunitățile din Los Angeles, în EyeMinded ea extinde perspectiva, sintetizând două decenii de scrieri care au adus în prim-plan arta afro-americană și latino-americană. Subliniem echilibrul dintre dimensiunea politică a justiției sociale și finețea descrierilor de atelier, elemente care confirmă statutul lui Kellie Jones de curator vizionar. Este o lucrare masivă, de peste 500 de pagini, care funcționează ca o arhivă vie a rezistenței prin frumos.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă rădăcinile activismului în arta contemporană. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă unică asupra modului în care critica de artă se poate naște din dialogul familial și social. Este o resursă academică valoroasă, dar și o lectură profund umană pentru oricine este interesat de istoria artiștilor care au schimbat canonul estetic modern.

Descriere scurtă

A daughter of the poets Hettie Jones and Amiri Baraka, Kellie Jones grew up immersed in a world of artists, musicians, and writers in Manhattan’s East Village, and absorbed in black nationalist ideas about art, politics, and social justice across the river in Newark. The activist vision of art and culture that she learned in those two communities, and especially from her family, have shaped her life and her work as an art critic and curator. Featuring selections of her writings from the past twenty years, EyeMinded reveals Jones’s role in bringing attention to the work of African American, African, Latin American, and women artists who have challenged established art practices. Interviews that she conducted with the painter Howardena Pindell, the public installation and performance artist David Hammons, the Cuban sculptor Kcho (Alexis Leyva Machado), and the British critic Kobena Mercer appear along with pieces on the photographers Dawoud Bey, Lorna Simpson, and Pat Ward Williams; the sculptor Martin Puryear; the assemblage artist Betye Saar, and the painters Jean-Michel Basquiat, Norman Lewis, and Al Loving. Reflecting Jones’s curatorial sensibility, this collection is structured as a dialogue between her writings and works by her parents, her sister Lisa Jones, and her husband Guthrie P. Ramsey Jr. EyeMinded offers a glimpse into the family conversation that shaped and sustained Jones, insight into the development of her critical and curatorial vision, and a survey of some of the most important figures in contemporary art.

Recenzii

“EyeMinded is an impressive collection of essays by Kellie Jones, a much sought after scholar, prolific writer, and extraordinary curator whose works I have admired for many years. She began her career in the mid-1980s, uncovering and recovering African and African American artists by organizing exhibitions, writing essays, and lecturing on some of the then lesser-known artists. I believe that she was instrumental in introducing to a larger and contemporary public the works of black artists of the African diaspora, including some of the most noted artists working today.” Deborah Willis, author of Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present

Deborah Willis, author of Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present "Another compilation of diverse art works that were created against a vivid social backdrop is EyeMinded: Living and Writing Contemporary Art by Kellie Jones, with contributions from her father, poet Amiri Baraka, and music scholar Guthrie Ramsay. EyeMinded highlights the activist vision of art and culture that Kellie Jones grew up with in Manhattan's East Village, where voices and work from around the world percolated in her neighborhood. Now a critic and curator, Jones offers selections from two decades of her writing. " - Publishers Weekly "Kellie Jones, supported by a remarkable family of artists and intellectuals, has provided a plethora of razor-sharp insights and creative testimonials to the greater arts and scholarly communities for years. As this important book makes amber clear, Jones's astute observations and in-depth analyses of African American art are invaluable resources to contemporary studies and, arguably, equivalent to the notable essays of art history's earlier, admired critics and chroniclers."--Richard J. Powell, author of Cutting a Figure: Fashioning Black Portraiture "This extraordinary collection reveals Kellie Jones as a discerning architect of the multicultural art landscape of the last few decades. Informed by her keen eye and incisive intellect, Jones's definitive takes on artists, including Lorna Simpson, Martin Puryear, and David Hammons, make this book a must-read for anyone interested in American art from the 1980s forward. And then, on top of Jones's own shimmering intellectual accomplishment in these pages, EyeMinded is something else as well: a conversation between an American family of arts and letters as illustrious as the Lowells or the Jameses. This book will stand apart for that reason alone, for few American families have contributed so richly to the arts, letters, and sounds of their generations as the Joneses. Here comes Dr. Kellie Jones, 'eye-minded,' and she's bringing her people with her."--Elizabeth Alexander, Yale University
