Includes bibliographical references."Los Angeles-based artist Candice Lin (b. 1979) investigates the legacies of colonialism, racism, and sexism by mapping the trade routes and histories of a range of colonial goods. Co-organized by the Walker Art Center and the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, Candice Lin: Seeping, Rotting, Resting, Weeping is composed of a site-specific installation that responds to the space of the gallery at each institution, allowing the shape of the work to evolve over the course of its presentation. Anchored by a nomadic tent structure - simultaneously a temporary shelter and a quasi-religious temple - the exhibition includes hand-drawn and hand-printed indigo textiles, hand-built ceramic sculptures, plaster and concrete "tactile theaters", and a video animation that leads visitors through qigong breathing and movement exercises. Cats abound in the gallery space. From ceramic cats found curled up inside the tent to the video's animated cat demon, the exhibition proposes an animist worldview - one that asks us to shift our focus from the human to the more-than-human world. Ultimately, Lin encourages us to question our present, reenvision our futures, and embrace new ways of knowing the world"--Exhibition website

A Nation Takes Place : navigating race and water in contemporary art / by Minnesota Marine Art Museum,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)350031; Gardner, Tia-Simone,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899071; Griffin, Shana M.,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899070; Gumbs, Alexis Pauline,1982-contributor.(CARDINAL)853800; Johnson, Jessica Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)889864; King, Tiffany Lethabo,1976-contributor.(CARDINAL)899069; McKittrick, Katherine,contributor.(CARDINAL)877909; Osbey, Brenda Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)899068; Pollock, Scott,contributor.(CARDINAL)899067; Sharkey, Erin,contributor.(CARDINAL)867841; University of Minnesota.Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)855718;
Includes bibliographical references."Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website."The Western formation of what has become the Americas was born through water. The metaphorical birth of a nation, nor its often violent formation, is a one time event. It is a process of taking, extracting, and dispossessing. Take -- a verb, to lay hold of, to displace things, or people, from where they belong. Nation-building makes property of things, things that were once unpossessable -- land, humans, and water. A Nation Takes Place looks at the many ways artists draw critical attention to the connection between water and nation, water and sovereignty, and water and reimagined ecologies. We look again at the convention of maritime art with an eye toward the ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession and extraction. A Nation Takes Place draws together a transnational collection of artwork , representing a variety of mediums - in an effort to unpack the ways artists help us comprehend the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slaveships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, there are histories that have been erased, histories that remain inaccessible to language, and histories resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place help us to fill in the spaces where words cannot. Located near the headwaters of the largest watershed in America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, Minnesota) is an ideal space to stage a project like this. With its commitment to creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water and organizational responsibility to reframe the portrayal of marine art in ways that give narrative equity to Black and Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from a mix of historic works and archives from a variety of museum collections, contemporary work courtesy of the artists, some emerging, some established, and some newly commissioned for the exhibition, this project centers on artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American marine art." -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-23.Exhibited: "A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art," curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, presented by The Minnesota Marine Art Museum with support from The Mellon Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, the National Endowment For the Arts, and Terra Foundation for American Art, August 24, 2024-March 2, 2025.

Si estuvieras aquí / by Picoult, Jodi,1966-author.(CARDINAL)367282; Trevethan, Yara,translator.;
"Diana O'Toole tiene la vida calculada al milímetro: se casará a los treinta, tendrá hijos a los treinta y cinco y se mudará a los suburbios de la ciudad de Nueva York. Todavía no está comprometida, pero sabe que su novio, Finn, un residente de cirugía, está a punto de proponerle matrimonio en su próxima escapada romántica a las islas Galápagos. ¡Justo antes de su trigésimo cumpleaños! Sin embargo, la vida le tiene reservado otro destino y una pandemia global activa todas las alertas en la ciudad por lo que Finn se ve obligado a quedarse a trabajar en el hospital. Para no perder los boletos y despejarse de todo lo que está pasando, ambos deciden que Diana viaje al paradisíaco destino, pero casi de inmediato todo sale muy mal: la isla también es puesta en cuarentena y ella se queda varada hasta que se reabran las fronteras. Sin conocer a nadie y completamente aislada, tendrá que salir de su zona de confort para examinar con nueva luz sus relaciones, sus elecciones y a sí misma, aprendiendo que la vida nos tiene muchos caminos reservados, y no siempre son los que nosotros pensamos. Una poderosa historia de autodescubrimiento y una profunda lección de resiliencia en tiempos de crisis, por la autora bestseller del momento."--"From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and The Book of Two Ways comes a deeply moving novel about the resilience of the human spirit in a moment of crisis. Diana O'Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She's an associate specialist at Sotheby's now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She's not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagos--days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time. But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It's all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes. Almost immediately, Diana's dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they'd booked is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father's suspicion of outsiders. In the Galapagos Islands, where Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself-and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different"--

It features approximately 70 objects by both established and emerging artists, design houses, streetwear icons and musicians working in a wide range of mediums to demonstrate hip hop's proliferation from the street to the runway, the studio to the museum gallery, and countless sites in between. The exhibition also explores how hip hop has and continues to challenge structures of power, dominant cultural narratives, and political and social systems of oppression.
