Memory art in the contemporary world : confronting violence in the global south / by Huyssen, Andreas,author.(CARDINAL)175145; Verhagen, Marcus,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)899975; Lund Humphries,publisher.(CARDINAL)331502;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Memory Art in the Contemporary World discusses with the ever-expanding field of transnational memory art, which has emerged from a political need to come to terms with traumatic historical pasts, from the Holocaust to apartheid, colonialism, state terror and civil war. It focuses on the work of several contemporary artists from beyond the Northern Transatlantic, including William Kentridge, Vivan Sundaram, Doris Salcedo, Nalini Malani and Guillermo Kuitca, all of whom reflect on historical situations specific to their own countries but in work which has been shown to have a transnational reach. Andreas Huyssen considers their dual investment in memories of state violence and memories of modernism as central to the affective power of their work. This thought-provoking and highly relevant book reflects on the various forms and critical potential of memory art in a contemporary world which both obsesses about the past, in the building of monuments and museums and an emphasis on retro and nostalgia in popular culture, and simultaneously fosters historical amnesia in increasingly flattened notions of temporality encouraged by the internet and social media."--Andreas Huyssen is the Villard Professor Emeritus of German and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, where he served as founding director of the Center for Comparative Literature and Society. He is also a founding editor of New German Critique (1974-). His many publications include After the Great Divide (1986), Present Pasts (2003), William Kentridge, Nalini Malani: The Shadowplay as Medium of Memory (2013) and Miniature Metropolis: Literature in an Age of Photography and Film (2015).

Hidden in plain sight : concealing enslavement in American visual culture / by Stephens, Rachel(Rachel Elizabeth),author.(CARDINAL)878200; University of Arkansas Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)836375;
Includes bibliographical references and index.NCMA Collection,"A long-overdue study of the depiction of slavery in nineteenth-century American art and visual culture, Hidden in Plain Sight investigates the relationship between proslavery politics and the visual record. By examining a vast array of Civil War-era artworks that champion the institution of enslavement and connecting them with the abolitionist materials to which they respond, Rachel Stephens traces themes of concealment and silence through paintings, photographs, and ephemera and explores how the visual canon of high art was used to cover up, control, and reshape the discourse surrounding the United States' most odious institution"--

The African ancestors garden : history and memory at the International African American Museum / by Hood, Walter,1958-author.; Matthews, Tonya Maria,author of introduction, etc.; Tada, Grace Mitchell,editor.; Monacelli Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)898796;
Includes bibliographical references."The African Ancestors Garden is the first book to be published in conjunction with the International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston, South Carolina. The museum's landscape design by Hood Design Studio, led by award-winning Walter Hood, exemplifies the museum's mission to reflect on its location at Gadsden's Wharf, the point at which nearly half of all enslaved Africans arrived in North America. With contributions by figures critical to the realization of the International African American Museum, this significant book presents the intensive site research and concepts that went into the distinct spaces at the museum, including an infinity reflecting pool and an ethnobotanical showcase of African plants brought to North America though that landing. Hood's design response to these historic grounds addresses memory, tragedy, and culture, a moving homage to the living Charleston community and the African diaspora at large. Hood Design Studio, led by MacArthur 'Genius' Grant-winner Walter Hood, is at the forefront of the expanding field of social activism through design, and this book allows us a detailed overview of the conceptualization and creation of a remarkable and deeply meaningful landscape, proposing a way of designing public spaces and cultural institutions that embody the African American experience." --
