Exhibiting Blackness : African Americans and the American art museum / by Cooks, Bridget R.,1972-author.(CARDINAL)782750;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-192) and index.Introduction : African Americans enter the art museum -- Negro art in the modern art museum -- Black artists and activism : Harlem on my mind, 1969 -- Filling the void : two centuries of Black American art, 1976 -- New York to L.A. : Black male : representations of Black masculinity in contemporary American art, 1994-1995 -- Back to the future : The quilts of Gee's Bend, 2002 -- Conclusion : African Americans after the art museum -- Epilogue : Harlem on my mind."In Exhibiting Blackness, art historian Bridget R. Cooks analyzes the curatorial strategies, challenges, and critical receptions of the most significant museum exhibitions of African American art. Tracing two dominant methodologies used to exhibit art by African Americans--an ethnographic approach that focuses more on artists than their art, and a recovery narrative aimed at correcting past omissions--Cooks exposes the issues involved in exhibiting cultural difference that continue to challenge art history, historiography, and American museum exhibition practices. By further examining the unequal and often contested relationship between African American artists, curators, and visitors, she provides insight into the complex role of art museums and their accountability to the cultures they represent."--

Curatorial activism : towards an ethics of curating / by Reilly, Maura,author.(CARDINAL)281485; Lippard, Lucy R.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)142270;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 232-235) and index.Foreword / Lucy R. Lippard -- Preface -- What is curatorial activism? -- Resisting masculinism and sexism -- Tackling white privilege and Western-centrism -- Challenging heterocentrism and lesbo-homophobia -- A call to arms: Strategies for change.Current art world statistics demonstrate that the fight for gender and race equality in the art world is far from over: only sixteen percent of this year's Venice Biennale artists were female; only fourteen percent of the work displayed at MoMA in 2016 was by nonwhite artists; only a third of artists represented by U.S. galleries are female, but over two-thirds of students enrolled in art and art-history programs are young women. Arranged in thematic sections focusing on feminism, race, and sexuality, Curatorial Activism examines and illustrates pioneering examples of exhibitions that have broken down boundaries and demonstrated that new approaches are possible, from Linda Nochlin's 'Women Artists' at LACMA in the mid-1970s to Jean-Hubert Martin's 'Carambolages' in 2016 at the Grand Palais in Paris. Including interviews with pioneering curators such as Okwui Enwezor, Linda Nochlin, Jean-Hubert Martin, and Nan Goldin, this volume is both an invaluable source of practical information for those who understand that institutions must be a driving force in this area and a vital source of inspiration for today's expanding new generation of curators.

The versatility of black ; 6. Youth, fashion, and desire ; 7. Festive dress -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index."Dress became a testing ground for masculine ideals in Renaissance Italy. With the establishment of the ducal regime in Florence in 1530, there was increasing debate about how to be a nobleman. Was fashionable clothing a sign of magnificence or a source of mockery? Was the graceful courtier virile or effeminate? How could a man dress for court without bankrupting himself? This book explores the whole story of clothing, from the tailor's workshop to spectacular court festivities, to show how the male nobility in one of Italy's main textile production centres used their appearances to project social, sexual, and professional identities. Sixteenth-century male fashion is often associated with swagger and ostentation but this book shows that Florentine clothing reflected manhood at a much deeper level, communicating a very Italian spectrum of male virtues and vices, from honour, courage, and restraint to luxury and excess. Situating dress at the heart of identity formation, Currie traces these codes through an array of sources, including unpublished archival records, surviving garments, portraiture, poetry, and personal correspondence between the Medici and their courtiers. Addressing important themes such as gender, politics, and consumption, Fashion and Masculinity in Renaissance Florence sheds fresh light on the sartorial culture of the Florentine court and Italy as a whole"--
