Includes bibliographical references."This richly illustrated full-color catalog accompanies the first major solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive survey of the artist Wangechi Mutu's work, on view at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from March 21, 2013, through July 21, 2013, before traveling to the Brooklyn Museum. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1972, and now based in Brooklyn, Mutu renders the complex global sensibility of the early twenty-first century through a distinctly hybrid aesthetic. She combines found materials and magazine cutouts with sculpture and painted imagery, sampling from sources and phenomena as diverse as African traditions, international politics, the fashion industry, and science fiction. In her work, Mutu marries poetic symbolism with sociopolitical critique to explore issues of gender, race, war, colonialism, and, particularly, the exoticization of the black female body. The many images included in Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey highlight the most important and iconic works that Mutu has created since the mid-1990s, as well as portray new collages, drawings, videos, and site-specific installations. The catalog also offers an intimate look into her sketchbooks and includes an interview with the artist conducted by the exhibition's curator, Trevor Schoonmaker. Essays by Schoonmaker, the art historian Kristine Stiles, and the critic, musician, and producer Greg Tate are paired with an illustrated chronology of Mutu's work."--Publisher's website.

Wangechi Mutu : I am speaking, are you listening? / by Schmuckli, Claudia,author,curator,interviewer.(CARDINAL)879262; Campbell, Thomas P.(Thomas Patrick),1962-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)337155; Julien, Isaac,interviewer.(CARDINAL)899902; Wangechi Mutu,artist,author,interviewee.(CARDINAL)342611; Legion of Honor (San Francisco, Calif.),host institution.(CARDINAL)280224;

Includes bibliographical references."Wangechi Mutu takes viewers on journeys of material, psychological and sociopolitical transformation; this volume explores her most recent groundbreaking work. Over the past two decades, Mutu has created chimerical constellations of powerful female characters, hybrid beings and fantastical landscapes. With a rare understanding of the need for powerful new mythologies beyond simple binaries and stereotypes, Mutu breaches common distinctions between human, animal, plant and machine. An artist who calls both Nairobi and New York City home, Mutu moves voraciously between cultural traditions to challenge colonialist, racist and sexist worldviews with her visionary projection of an alternate universe informed by Afrofuturism, posthumanism and feminism. This dazzling book accompanies a presentation of Mutu's new work on view at the Legion, along with a greater selection from her landmark oeuvre. It is the most comprehensive book on the artist to date"--Provided by publisher.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Wangechi Mutu: I am speaking, are you listening? at the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, May 7-November 7, 2021.

Includes bibliographic references and index"Featuring strikingly lyrical contributions by Black, Latin American, and Native American artists, 'Black Earth Rising' assembles over 200 contemporary artworks that explore the complex ties between colonialism and the climate crisis--and in so doing, dramatically expands visual narratives on climate change. Taking as its origin the forced migration of people and early networks of commerce that reshaped lives and landscapes globally after European arrival in the Americas, the book offers an urgent reframing of climate discourse that places people of color at the center of the debate." --back cover

Colescott, Ellen Gallagher, Mildred Howard, Alison Saar, Wangechi Mutu, Lorna Simpson, Michalene Thomas, and Kara Walker."Engaging a wide range of experiences and artistic practices, the nine artists featured in this exhibition challenge the controlling images of Black women that continue to pervade our culture and influence perceptions. Their artworks jar loose expectations and replace simplistic narratives with nuanced, sophisticated meditations on contemporary identity. The essays in this publication similarly present a variety of perspectives on the artworks and the ideas they present. Contributions from a diverse group of accomplished scholars, activists, artists, and writers provide multiple viewpoints from which to consider the exhibition and the questions it presents. Together, the artists' works and the author's voices reveal the complexity of identity, the necessity for self-determination, and the power of art to stimulate dialogue."--Publisher's description

Earth matters : land as material and metaphor in the arts of Africa / by Milbourne, Karen,author.(CARDINAL)342612; Wangechi Mutu,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)342611; Van den Berg, Clive,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)342610; DeSouza, Allan,1958-writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)267765; Osodi, George,1974-writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)342609; National Museum of African Art (U.S.),host institution.(CARDINAL)177349;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 294-307) and index."Featuring more than 100 extraordinary works of art from 1800 to the present, Earth Matters reveals how African individuals and communities have visually mediated their most poignant relationships with the land--whether it be to earth as a sacred or medicinal material, as something uncovered by mining or claimed by burial, as a surface to be interpreted and turned to for inspiration, or as an environment to be protected. Both internationally recognized and emerging contemporary artists are represented, from the continent and diaspora, including El Anatsui, Ghada Amer, Sammy Baloji, Ingrid Mwangi and William Kentridge. Highlights include a pair of rare Yoruba onile figures, a one-of-a-kind Punu reliquary from Gabon, and 3 bocio figures from the personal collection of legendary French dealer Jacques Kerchache. The text includes statements by contemporary African artists including Wangechi Mutu, Clive van den Berg, Allan de Souza, and George Osodi. National Museum of African Art curator Karen E. Milbourne explores how diverse African concepts of healing, the sacred, identity, memory, history, and environmental sustainability have all been formed in relation to the land in this pioneering scholarly study."--Publisher's website.
