Time Magazine – “The Artist as Witness in the Era of Black Lives Matter” ——— “My 2021 series Painting the Town was made after a visit to my hometown of Portland, Ore. During the massive demonstrations in reaction to the murder of George Floyd, protesters wrote texts on the panels that shopkeepers had used to board up their windows as a precautionary measure against looting. The authorities then rendered the slogans illegible by covering them with large patches of black, brown, and gray paint. As is often the case, I used these images to explore what it means to be a witness to an ongoing history of violence. At first glance, the photographs resemble abstract paintings, but in fact, they represent the unintended consequence of governmental censorship. Amid the uprising, I felt glimmers of hope, but these days, with daily decrees dropping from the White House denouncing DEI, I find myself back where I started, asking why Black life doesn’t matter.” -Carrie Mae Weems

@CarrieMaeWeems at @Gladstone.Gallery exhibition walkthrough ✨ On view through November 9th Carrie Mae Weems: The Shape of Things 📆 September 14 – November 9, 2024 📍 Gladstone Gallery 🗣️ Carrie Mae Weems’ installation The Shape of Things employs a cyclorama format to immerse viewers in the complex history of racial injustice. Projected in a cylindrical structure, this 40-minute video installation is organized into seven parts, using a mix of found footage, documentary elements, choreographed scenes, and earlier works. Each part explores themes like racial violence, memory, and resilience, beginning with visual representations of history, including 19th-century cycloramas and ending with Weems herself, symbolizing hope amid adversity. Accompanying the installation are large-scale photographs from her Painting the Town series, reflecting on the erasure of anti-racist graffiti in Portland, Oregon. #CarrieMaeWeems #GladstoneGallery #artinstallation #artexhibition #artgallery #contemporaryart #installationart #videoart #NYCArtExhibition
