Yale Center for British Art: Announcing Art in Focus: Women From the Center

Announcing Art in Focus: Women From the Center NEW HAVEN, CT—The Yale Center for British Art presents an exhibition that celebrates women artists in the museum’s collection. Inspired by Yale University’s celebration of 50 years of coeducation in Yale college and 150 years of coeducation in Yale graduate programs, Art in Focus: Women From the Center highlights women artists whose inventive art practices have enabled them to stake out space in the art world. The title for this exhibition references both the use of the Center’s collection and Lucy Lippard’s influential collection of feminist essays, From the Center (1976).   "Although the Center remains closed to the public, we are eager to bring more of our collections into view. This exhibition, foregrounding women artists and curated by Yale undergraduates, was originally planned for last spring. More than a year in the making, the display is now presented online for remote audiences from New Haven and beyond,” said Director Courtney J. Martin.   The artists featured in this display work across a broad spectrum of media, styles, and techniques and span a similar time range to the coeducation of the graduate programs at Yale—the nineteenth century to the present day. In addition to works from the Center’s collections, the exhibition includes loans from the artist Rina Banerjee (Yale MFA 1995), an alumna of the School of Art, which in 1869 became the first coeducational school at Yale.   As the Center remains closed to the public, the exhibition is on view in an online presentation that explores the display’s four different themes: “Women and Institutions” looks at artists who challenge bodies of knowledge and control that have historically marginalized or oppressed women. “Space and Place” showcases women artists who reimagine urban and pastoral environments and imprint their own subjectivity on these spaces. “Women as Muses” challenges traditional understandings of artist and muse—namely that of an active male artist and a passive female muse—for in this display women play both roles. Finally, “Beyond the Figure” examines the role that women have played in breaking free from the politics of figuration.   "This unique experience introduces Yale undergraduates to all aspects of creating an exhibition. The student curators mine the Center’s collection for objects that support their thesis, create a clear narrative with these objects through installation design, and write explanatory text that complements the works of art while being accessible to a wider audience." said Linda Friedlaender, Head of Education at the Center.   Art in Focus is the annual exhibition curated by members of the Center’s Student Guide Program. The exhibition introduces Yale undergraduates to museology by providing them with curatorial experience.

Gort Gansevoort Gallery: KEITH DUNCAN | Bayou Classic In conversation with Franklin Sirmans Thursday, March 4th – Saturday, April 17th, 2021

KEITH DUNCAN | Bayou Classic  In conversation with Franklin Sirmans Thursday, March 4th – Saturday, April 17th, 2021 View the online exhibition here   Beginning March 4th, Fort Gansevoort will present Keith Duncan: Bayou Classic, an online exhibition featuring new drawings and paintings in which the artist pays tribute to a grand New Orleans tradition inextricably linked to the wider sweep of Black cultural heritage in America:  established in 1974, the Bayou Classic is an annual football game between two of Louisiana’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Southern University and Grambling State University. The highlight of this event is the Battle of the Bands, a resplendent halftime show in which the marching bands of the two schools compete to deliver the most sensational performance. For Duncan, the pageantry and ceremonial elements that are hallmarks of the HBCU band performances are contemporary analogs for African American traditions. The drum majors and musicians depicted in his work in brilliant, vibrating hues, are “symbols of African warriors dancing in front of the king or the queen, like a pageantry of ceremonious splendor.” The artist further explains, “I saw them in that light and it’s part of our heritage beyond New Orleans.” Indeed, thousands of supporters of the Bayou Classic travel from across the nation to participate in the various festivities that unfold around the event; a multi-generational audience of students, alumni, and relatives gathers for this moment, paralleling an all-encompassing family reunion. For many, “the Classic” is an essential tradition that helps to preserve the mission of the HBCUs, which were established to nourish the talent and brilliance of African American people in a mutually supportive environment.

Take a look at Art Basel's seminar on Art and Money Laundering! Very interesting Feb. 25th

Art businesses on both sides of the Atlantic are adapting to changes in anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. At the beginning of 2020, the UK implemented the European Union's new AML directive, while in October the US Department of Treasury issued an advisory that identified the art market as a focus of its enforcement efforts. Thursday's online conversation will bring together legal experts and leading gallerists to discuss what these developments mean for the market. How will regulatory developments in the US impact the global art trade? What can be learnt from how Europe has adapted? And how are art market professionals responding to this changing terrain? Roland Foord, Senior Partner, Stephenson Harwood, London; Bona Montagu, Partner, Skarstedt, London; Andrew Schoelkopf, Owner, Menconi + Schoelkopf, New York City and President of the Art Dealers Association of America; and Harry Sandick, Partner, Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, New York City; will join moderator Noah Horowitz, Director Americas, Art Basel.  Anti-Money Laundering and the Art Market Thursday, February 25, 2021 10am PST / 1pm EST / 7pm CET Register Now #artbasel#fineartmagazine#artfun
