âAdjusting the Moon (The right to non-imperative clarities): Waxingâ (2019â20) is from @fireleibaezâ 'to breathe full and free,' launching â tomorrow, Saturday, December 17 at 3PM at @jamescohangalleryâ â In her interview with the artist, @thelmagolden asks BĂĄez how she navigates daily life. BĂĄez responds: "Mostly just with curiosity. Knowing that I don't know certain kinds of things has been the main anchor. So, starting with a presumption that I am not the center and that I don't know, how do I then make sense of that? How do I navigate in a way that puts me in flow with the world around me?"â â â Edited by @dlouisnorr â Designed by @mikomcginty â Published by @gregoryrmiller â Text by @carlaacevedoyates @markgodfrey1973 & @ellerustle Interviews by @thelmagolden & @curator_on_the_run â â More info via linkinbio.â â #fireleibaez #fireleibaezbook #fireleibaeztobreathefullandfree #fireleibaezadjustingthemoon #adjustingthemoonâ https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPh5pIJZKg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

đš#ArtIsAWeapon #ExhibitClosing #Artist #FireleiBaez @fireleibaez Americananana at @jamescohangallery closes Dec. 21, 2022.
48 Walker Street, #NYC
Reposted from @jamescohangallery:
In Untitled (Les tables de geographie reduites en un jeu de cartes), Firelei BĂĄez has conjured a stampede of horses in various states of abstraction. Like a Rorschach, the more one gazes into the alchemical pours of paint, the more horses become apparent. For BĂĄez, pours are markers of time and space; a doorway into her own experiences. This painting was begun during her residency at the American Academy in Rome, where BĂĄez encountered many heraldic sculptures and paintings of horses. Unlike the images BĂĄez encountered in Rome, these wildly rendered horses are not agents of battle or royal conquest, instead they are unbridled and free.
.
Beneath this dynamic painting is a rare geographic set of 52 playing cards game. developed by Pierre Duval in 1688. The broadside is dedicated to the Grand Dauphin (1661-1711), the son of King Louis XIV (1638-1715), and decorated with a royal coat of arms. The cards include inset maps of Africa, America, Europe, Asia, each represented by a playing card suit; clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds. The face cards contain a medallion portrait of a different leader for each continent, providing information, some reverent and others as caricature, on the countries represented. In this painting, BĂĄez responds to the gamifying of colonial conquest, releasing nature from the arrogant grasp of man.
.
See Americananana, an exhibition of new paintings by Firelei BĂĄez, on view at our 48 Walker Street gallery through December 21. Plan your visit or explore the exhibition online via link in bio.

For #WomensHistoryMonth weâre highlighting Firelei BĂĄezâs âCiguapa Antellana, me llamo sueño de la madrugada. (who more sci-fi than us)â (2018) at the 163 St-Amsterdam Ave (C) station, where the larger than life ciguapas (powerful convention-breaking feminine figures from Dominican folklore) immersed in tropical greenery intertwined with multicultural healing imagery, join passengers on the daily commute. BĂĄez reworks diasporic history in her explorations of feminine mythology and artifacts overlaid onto large-scale maps and documents in her new exhibition at James Cohan Gallery, open through April 25th.

IT is, what it IS...until IT is NOT Vessel of Genealogies, 2016 -Firelei BĂĄez "She is a high spirit like a Haitian Loa. BĂĄez creates her own divine being signifying a wide range of imagery that attests to the artist's own hybrid racial background." âą âą âą âą âą âą âą âą #baez #dpu #depauluniversity #depaul #artmuseum #art #bighair #naturalhair #haitian #race #photography #amateurphotography #chicago #goodvibesonly #positivevibes #fireleibaez - #regrann @i_lex_project https://www.instagram.com/p/B92t1ZhhNfF/?igshid=14hu1rgg35ur5

#jamescohan #gallery #fireleibaez #154artfair #lowereastside When I entered the space, the burnt incense brought me a lot of memories n sensations. Temple? India? Sedona? Prayer? Meditation? Trip? Funeral? or Someoneâs room? Firelei Baez led participants to her beautiful blue world with priestess of Caribbean ocean. She said she was influenced by Japanese arts like Ukiyoe, particularly her intricate pairings đŻđžđš ăžă§ăŒă ășăłăŒăăłă»ăźăŁă©ăȘăŒăèšȘăă1-54ăąăŒăăă§ăąćæ„ăäžèŻèĄă©çăäžăăăă«ăăźéšć€©ăćŻăïŒăąăŒăăŁăčăăźăăŁăŹăŹă€ă»ăăšășăŻăăăă«ćșèș«đ©đŽNYćšäœăă«ăȘăæ”·ăźé»äșșăźæŽćČăšăąă€ăăłăăŁăăŁăæšĄăéăç©șéăšăă蟌ăăăăăéŠăŻăèšæ¶ăćșæżăăăäœć±€ă«ăéăăæ”źäžç””ăźćœ±éżăćăăăšăă«ăȘăæ”·ć°ćă«æ„ăăăšăŻăăăŸăăïŒăšèšăăăïżœïżœïżœ (James Cohan Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxU2JL-gaZz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=130y4zz3qjku2

@fireleibaez #FireleiBaez @jamescohangallery "A Drexcyen Chronocommons (To win the war you fought it sideways)," an exhibition of new work by #FireleiBĂĄez. Acknowledging the reciprocal nature of migration as a non-linear course of movement, BĂĄez creates sites of connectivity, where overlapping histories and modes of understanding coexist. For "A Drexcyen Chronocommons (To win the war you fought it sideways)," the artist has created an immersive installation in the main gallery that spreads into the reception area. The space is cocooned in hand-perforated blue tarpâoften used for temporary shelter, and thus a symbol of both disaster and refugeâcasting light onto material patterned with black diasporic symbols of nurturing and resistance. Overhead is a geo-specific map of the stars as they appeared in the night sky at the onset of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). A successful uprising led by self-liberated enslaved people against the French colonial government in Saint-Domingue, the Haitian Revolution was an early precursor to abolition movements internationally and had an indelibleâif often unacknowledgedâimpact on the ideological and geopolitical landscape of the 19th century world. The installationâs oceanic quality suggests the broader history of black diaspora and the Middle Passage, in relationship to Glissantâs theory of the ocean as a connector and a repository of physical memory. . . Detail: FIRELEI BĂEZ, "A Drexcyen chronocommons (To win the war you fought it sideways)," 2019. Two paintings, hand-painted wooden frame, perforated tarp, printed mesh, handmade paper over found objects, plants, books, Oman incense, palo santo. . . . . #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #installation #drexcyen #drexciya #jamescohangallery #lowereastside #artcollector #artadvisor #joakimvonditmar (at James Cohan Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5rdD7lZf5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b7bse29dw7ee

âChrono-DREAMerâ (2019) is from @fireleibaezâ 'to breathe full and free,' the first comprehensive monograph on the artist, launching tomorrow, Saturday, December 17 at 3PM at @jamescohangallery â â In his essay on 'The Map Painting,' Mark Godfrey quotes the artist: "I grew up hearing stories of Lilith-like wild women from the forest, Ciguapas, told to me as a warning: you canât be too wild, too much of nature, donât be too independent. Everything thatâs inscribed onto that figure becomes the antithesis of ideal femininity. And then as a kid Iâd think, 'Thereâs so much freedom in that, why would I not want to be that? Why would I not want to be untraceable and fearless?'"â â Edited by @dlouisnorr â Designed by @mikomcginty â Published by @gregoryrmiller â â Text by @carlaacevedoyates @markgodfrey1973 & @ellerustle Interviews by @thelmagolden & @curator_on_the_run â â More info via linkinbio.â â #fireleibaez #fireleibaezbook #fireleibaeztobreathefullandfree #fireleibaezchronodreamer #chronodreamer https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPTULApxCI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
