Ravenal, Joanna Montoya Robotham, Franklin Sirmans, Claire Tancons, Touré, Murtaza Vali, Nicola Vassell, Rebecca Walker, and Deborah Willis.The works presented in Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic raise questions about race, gender, and the politics of representation by portraying contemporary African American men and women using the conventions of traditional European portraiture. The exhibition includes an overview of the artist?s prolific fourteen-year career and features sixty paintings and sculptures. Wiley's signature portraits of everyday men and women riff on specific paintings by Old Masters, replacing the European aristocrats depicted in those paintings with contemporary black subjects, drawing attention to the absence of African Americans from historical and cultural narratives. The subjects in Wiley's paintings often wear sneakers, hoodies, and baseball caps, gear associated with hip-hop culture, and are set against contrasting ornate decorative backgrounds that evoke earlier eras and a range of cultures. Through the process of "street casting," Wiley invites individuals, often strangers he encounters on the street, to sit for portraits. In this collaborative process, the model chooses a reproduction of a painting from a book and reenacts the pose of the painting?s figure. By inviting the subjects to select a work of art, Wiley gives them a measure of control over the way they're portrayed.

Includes index."A ground-breaking global survey of today's most innovative artists working with text. The inclusion of text in works of art was a revolutionary creative advancement of the twentieth century, with artists subverting traditional conceptions of 'art' and 'writing.' Younger generations of artists have continued to use the inherent readability of words to communicate ideas to viewers across a diverse array of mediums, including painting, sculpture, installation, and video. Nominated by 66 leading global experts (including curators, critics, museum directors, and professors), Vitamin Txt showcases 103 living artists, from 34 countries, who place the use of text centrally within their artistic practices. With more the 500 artworks illustrated, and an introduction about the history of artists using text from ancient Chinese calligraphy to contemporary digital art, the book's focus allows for a showcase of a range of different mediums, providing a cross-disciplinary view into the art world today." --Advisors, nominators, and writers include: Jam Acuzar, Negar Azimi, Naomi Beckwith, Meriem Berrada, Omar Berrada, Lucienne Bestall, Allie Diswas, Isolde Brielmaier, Dan Cameron, Diana Campbell, Paul Carey-Kent, Lizzie Carey-Thomas, Antonia Carver, Yeon Shim Chung, Ellen Mara De Wachter, Tandazani Dhlakama, Yilmaz Dziewior, Louisa Elderton, Mai Eldib, Touria El Glaoui, Ruth Erickson, Elena Filipovic, Chris Fite-Wassilak, Alison M.
