THE AESTHETICS OF MATTER: VOLTA 2018

How does the narrative change when the representatives of the art reflect the orientation of the artist, or understand the artists’ perspectives from an equilateral perspective? The Aesthetics of Matter, curated by Mickalene Thomas and Racquel Chevremont, proved that there is a much-needed overhaul in the art world of how artwork is displayed, and more importantly, who is displaying it.

I’ve walked into many galleries. I’ve grown accustomed to being ignored, bypassing heads buried in laptops, draining the possibility of direct inquiry about the artists from the moment one’s foot is set through the door. Occasionally a glance up as the door opens, then, once the face is identified as a person presumed not to be a collector, any fleeting attention disappears, and the viewer is subliminally shut out of the world of information that lies behind those desks. The deep analysis of the emotional and mental approach of the artist is reserved for a higher tax bracket, the viewer left to contend with the physicality of the work, information obtained prior to entry, and their own imagination. Art fairs have the capacity to be, but often are not, very different, where a quick “Let me know if you have any questions,” often is the silent buffer of, “If you’re not buying, don’t ask.”

Mickalene and Racquel were visible every single day of the Volta Show. I know this because I too, was there every day, constantly drawn to this central display of artists that not only looked like me, but were also curated by people that look like me. How many black curators exist in the art world? Academia aside, curating, which is still in itself an emerging profession, has often been delegated to PhD holders who lurk in back rooms of museums, often people who have little to no connection with the art that they represented. We live in America, land of labels, where two queer women of color, a power couple whose merits stood equally formidable in their own right, took this label-filled world we lived in and fitted it with their own narrative, pushing the envelope and questioning the way those labels are viewed. I was surrounded in a room filled with artists, but they were more than just artists - they are black, brown, mixed, queer, straight, gender non-conforming, MFA holders and college dropouts, makers, molders, that for the first time that I could remember, presented a cohesive representation of all the non-monolith that blackness is. Our narrative was our own. And people flocked to it. Patrons of all backgrounds listened with admiration and respect as the artists, and people representing them, provided engaging, influential dialogue about the core tenets of their artistic practices, unflinching in their transcription of the depths and mind of each artist. The psyche that pervades in a world where, subconsciously, people of color are made of feel as if their existence is not enough, didn’t exist inside the careful curation of a safe space where the artists and their work were more than just enough, they were essential, necessary, important and hungered for, in a way not often seen in my previous experience of fairs.

The artists - David Shrobe, Kennedy Yanko, Christie Neptune, Devin Morris, Didier William, Tomashi Jackson, Troy Richie, and Kameelah Janan Rasheed - are all prolific in their creations. Walking to enter the Aesthetics of Matter one is greeted by Christie Neptune’s refusal to return a gaze, looking away from the viewer in such a deliberate manner that one is automatically drawn in, and is confronted with the prevailing need to return the gaze of an attitude that isn’t yet comfortable with being challenged, one that always demands to be seen. On the opposite wall, she beats this country at its own game - issuing government patents that dismantle the color lines that have been instituted for far too long, then gives visuals of how this dismantling is done in a video where she demonstrated the removing of the curtain and supporting structures that uphold something that, as we can clearly see on the 13” screen, doesn’t tangibly exist.

Juxtaposing each other in the most beautiful ways are works by David Shrobe and Didier William, both using wood, the great building material of centuries renown, here used to shape and give form to ethereal figures. William carves and paints wood like a sculptor molds clay, using inspiration from the Haitian Revolution, that often overlooked first successful rebellion, as a repository view of the similar struggle we are facing now in our polarized 21st century climate. Haunting eyes, appearing like schools of fish, give his human structures their form, reminiscent of humanity’s oneness, black unity, and the innate human need to belong to each other. One in particular, “La Croix A Samedi/Two Sons”, shows two bodies ambiguously becoming one, the merging of matter to ascend to a more powerful, magnificent whole. Shrobe, whose collages use found wood along the streets of ever gentrifying New York City, repurposes the furniture and simultaneously rectifies the way we view visibility. Hidden silhouettes and portraits without faces, Shrobe’s work, inspired by various emissaries of color, draw you in and pull you out at the same time. A mysterious favorite, “Diplomatic Mission”, inspired by historical Congolese diplomats to Italy features a Goya-esque figure, secure in his position, but with a look of concern in his eyes. Lacking the necessary nose and mouth to give us an accurate explanation for the expression, the surrounding circumstances are left up to the interpretation of the viewer. Is it mild surprise, discomfort, or fear?

Kennedy Yanko is a painter, sculptor, and in many ways, inventor. Using what she affectionately calls “paint skins”, she interweaves what appears as soft, malleable paint with concrete moldings made from protective materials that she sources from construction sites. Considering the effects of gentrification, it’s an interesting way to give objects that appear useless or broken a new breath of life. Things are not always as they appear, and this is captured effortlessly as the “skins”, which are actually rock hard, are juxtaposed with welded metal, creating a duality that encourages the viewer to reexamine not just what art is, but what it is made up of.

Devin Morris collages the creation of spaces. His works draw you in, subtle details making you look closer and then edging out to gain complete clarity of the cohesiveness of the Baltimore native’s works. These are real life scenarios, giving substance to the reality of the multiplicitous society we exist in. Confronting sexuality and gender in a delicate, precise manner, he is the ruler of a domain where we all exist as we choose to be, no compromises or questions asked. We simply exist.

Tomashi Jackson and Troy Michie, both created works that are research based at their core. Jackson utilizes color theory to examine our experience. Her abstract works serve as documentation of historical racial discrimination that are so heavy the colors are almost there to soothe you through the experience of the weight of her work. Her collaged found materials are weightless in appearance, bold reds and recognizable blues keeping your gaze focused, making your mind search for what lies beyond the surface. What you find might disturb you, but it will make you think. Thinking is a great way to expand the mind, and we live in a day and age where minds would well suffice being expanded. Troy Michie, using the standout bits of clothing and cutouts of portions of brown men’s bodies, examines otherness and references his Texas roots, Pachuco culture, and the historical Zoot Suit Riots of 1943. Existing outside the realm of belonging, identity, gender and personhood are coalesced while being fragmented in humanistic expression. Recognizable articles of clothing and faces with eyes cut out, men in suits missing faces, a suit made up of pieces of photos of a human, all reevaluating what human is and what being human actually means.

Kameelah Janan Rasheed, also research based, gave us two messages, one utilizing strategically cut out and/or blacked out literary text, juxtaposed with black and white images, the other, and entire protest that speaks clearly to the times we are in now: advertisement papers with detachable phone numbers that states “SELLING MY BLACK RAGE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.” Black people are fed up and aren’t taking the same old sh*t anymore, and Rasheed is here to let you know in case you forgot. So many questions in her work, showing how we intersect and dialogue with each other and how much or little we are valued. Who is the bidder? Black slaves, black culture, and now, black rage, on the auction block. How much are we worth?

Not all the artists at the Aesthetics of Matter curated section were represented by people of color. Artists of color are not always represented by people of color, but when the people who are representing them actually care about the individuality of the artist and the true meaning behind the work, it shows, and it’s a glaring opposition to the norm that has been set by the art world. It calls for a stepping up of other galleries who have yet to get uncomfortable, and acknowledges that there are people who actually get it, and we need more of them. No neatly packaged schpiel, these were intimate conversations highlighting artists that were wholly realized and completely understood. In today’s political climate, there is a constant feel for the need of exclusion, but ultimately intersectional inclusion is what leads to understanding. As Frantz Fanon says, “it is not race that creates racism, it is racism that creates race.” In a world where the way we see each other is structured to keep us separate, what happens when you are finally on equal ground? You are seen as just human. Too often the black gaze in the art world was viewed as some sort of exotica, or a political “response” to the oppression felt by generations of racism, packaged in a nice neat box for white temporary uncomfortability, presented by white curators and gallerists who rarely connected more with their artists beyond creating a narrative to suit the agenda of marketing and selling the work. What happens when you are free to display yourself as yourself and not a response to?

Belated Box Score: Grizzlies @ Blazers - March 12, 2005

Basketball Reference’s “Random Page” feature sends us back late in the 2004-05 season for a Memphis Grizzlies-Portland Trail Blazers match-up. Here’s a quick (belated) recap:

At this point in the year, the Blazers were well out of the playoff race but beat the post-season bound Grizzlies, 80-66, at home. Sixty-six points! In one game! A typical halftime score these days.

Looking at the box score for Memphis, it’s a veritable who’s who of players who would go on to win championships with other teams (mostly the Heat). Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Jason Williams, James Posey. Pau Gasol must have been injured that night.

On the other side, this was peak irrelevance for the Trail Blazers. Sebastian Telfair and Darius Miles were starters, and Richie Frahm played nearly 36 minutes. Yet they still won! Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Theo Ratliff logged heavy minutes as well, the two key pieces that came over the prior season from Atlanta in the Rasheed Wallace deal.

There was also the very tall and very underwhelming Ha Seung-Jin, who’s first name was reminiscent of your typical reaction when seeing him operate on the court (he played one minute), as well as someone named Maurice Baker who played seven, possibly garbage time, minutes for Portland, and whom I had never heard of before. As someone who has followed this franchise closely for the better part of three decades, that’s saying something for Mr. Baker.

Why some lesbians don’t want Pete Buttigieg to be president

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/why-some-lesbians-dont-want-pete-buttigieg-to-be-president/

Why some lesbians don’t want Pete Buttigieg to be president

Several lesbian activists say that while they are glad South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is running for the Democratic nomination, they most want a woman to be president in 2020, after Hillary Clinton’s stinging loss in 2016. | Mary Schwalm/AP Photo

2020 Elections

Lesbian political activists are divided over which glass ceiling to aim for in the 2020 presidential race.

Campbell Spencer, a lesbian and political consultant, moved to Washington in the 1990s to work in LGBTQ advocacy. She wooed gay and lesbian voters for Al Gore, worked a stint in the Obama White House and now serves on the board of the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which this year issued its first-ever endorsement of a presidential candidate: Pete Buttigieg.

But so far, Kamala Harris has wowed Spencer more than any other candidate in the race.

Story Continued Below

“Mayor Pete, he’s a trailblazer,” Spencer said in an interview. “But I’m one of these women who thinks we are way overdue for having a woman in the White House. That’s a lens through which I’m going to filter my decision.”

Buttigieg, the openly gay mayor of South Bend, Ind., has drawn notable support from gay voters and donors for his presidential bid. But interviews with a dozen prominent Democrats in the LGBTQ community spotlight a remarkable collision of goals and ideals in the community of lesbian political activists this year. As the 2020 field slowly winnows, people are divided over which glass ceiling to break first.

The majority of the women POLITICO interviewed for this story did not want to speak on the record, citing a desire not to damage Buttigieg’s campaign. But especially when compared with the laborious ascent of Hillary Clinton, Buttigieg’s swift rise in national politics hints of male favoritism, some said. Others applauded his run — but feel more strongly about the need to elect a female president.

“It feels like a slap in the face to just go directly to the white gay guy, when for decades you’ve been trying to elect a woman and it didn’t happen last time,” said one lesbian Democrat who works in national politics. “If Pete Buttigieg is elected it won’t feel like a vindication of Hillary Clinton. If a woman is elected, it will.”

LGBTQ voters made up a relatively small 6 percent of the electorate in the 2018 midterm elections but voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates, according to exit polls. And gay donors are a formidable source of campaign funds in the Democratic Party: One in six of Barack Obama’s top campaign bundlers in 2012 were openly gay, according to a Washington Post analysis at the time.

The LGBTQ community has been an important launch pad for Buttigieg’s presidential bid. He has fundraised at the homes of several prominent gay donors — such as television producers Ryan Murphy and Richie Jackson, each of whom have hosted Buttigieg for events in their homes this year — and received campaign checks from power players including Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and lesbian megadonor Laura Ricketts.

But the broad 2020 Democratic field includes historic diversity and choice for LGBTQ voters looking for new representation in the White House, or at least on the Democratic debate stage.

“There are black gay men and Latina lesbians — we have all these identities,” said Annise Parker, the former Houston mayor who is now president and CEO of the LGBTQ Victory Fund. “I talk to donors who are really glad that Pete’s running, but want Julián Castro to be on the debate stage. Or who say, ‘I want Cory Booker or Kamala Harris to be on stage.’ I say that’s a great thing.”

Parker, who became the first lesbian elected to lead a major American city only a decade ago, said she plans to vote for Buttigieg. But she also feels the pull of electing the first female president.

“As a woman, as a lesbian, as someone who was all in for Hillary Clinton and as someone who was a historic first myself, I would love to see a woman at the top of the ticket,” Parker said.

“And talking with other women inside the community and not, we understand the importance of Pete’s candidacy — but dammit, we’re half the population. It’s time” for a woman president, Parker continued.

Several lesbian donors and activists interviewed by POLITICO said they see in this election a continuation of the gender politics of 2016, when Clinton’s nomination was a vindicating moment for many Democratic women — and Trump’s position as the GOP nominee heightened the stakes of the race, as well as the burn of Clinton’s loss.

“To have a woman candidate finally running for president was extraordinarily galvanizing to substantial portions of the women’s community and the lesbian community,” said Elyse Cherry, a Massachusetts-based lesbian community activist and former member of Clinton’s New England finance committee. “When she lost, people were even more galvanized.”

Cherry pushed to build a movement for same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, starting in the early 1990s when the idea was a political outlier. She chaired the board for MassEquality, which advocated for the state’s gay marriage law and worked to guard it from challenges in the years after it was enacted.

Cherry plans to vote for her senior senator, Elizabeth Warren.

“Having a woman, finally, as our president is important to me,” Cherry said. “The mistake is to suggest that we all stay in one lane — for example that if you’re gay you should be supporting gay candidates, or if you’re a woman you should be supporting women candidates.”

LPAC, an organization that focuses on building power among LGBTQ women, has not endorsed a candidate, but its endorsement discussions will begin at an upcoming board meeting, the group’s president Stephanie Sandberg said, adding that there is a “strong possibility” that LPAC will endorse a candidate.

Nabeela Rasheed, a Chicago-based lawyer and activist backing Buttigieg, said “there is absolutely a conversation that’s happening” among lesbian donors in her area about the value of supporting a female candidate over Buttigieg.

“I don’t think the county is ready for a West Coast Democrat, and a female at that. And I don’t think this country can take an East Coast female either. They need someone who understands Main Street,” Rasheed said. So Rasheed — who is of Pakistani descent — has been raising money for Buttigieg and trying to introduce as many women of color to his campaign as possible.

Buttigieg surprised observers by surging to national prominence this spring and raising $24 million between early April and the end of June, the most money of any candidate in the field.

One foundation for his success was a bloc of openly gay male donors and fundraisers who threw their support behind his campaign early in the race. Among the people who have already raised more than $25,000 for Buttigieg’s campaign were Terrence Meck, co-founder of the nonprofit The Palette Fund; and Alex Slater, founder of the Washington, D.C.-based Clyde Group.

Other high-profile gay donors, such as software entrepreneur Tim Gill and philanthropist David Bohnett, have donated to former Vice President Joe Biden, who was an early proponent of same-sex marriage in Washington.

Kelly Dermody, a former Hillary Clinton bundler and employment lawyer who has represented women in sexual harassment cases, said that while Buttigieg’s candidacy is “exciting,” federal lawmakers who are running have more experience.

Dermody is backing Harris, who she believes is the strongest candidate, in part because of her experience as a woman and person of color. She said that one highlight of the 2020 campaign for her has been Harris’ husband,Douglas Emhoff, a frequent presence at campaign stops and an unbridled booster of his wife on social media.

“It’s just been really nice seeing him at various events and see what it looks like to have a female leader have the support of a strong male partner,” Dermondy said. “He has his own job and he’s a real star lawyer in his own world, but he also has embraced this [campaign].”
