A Nation Takes Place : navigating race and water in contemporary art / by Minnesota Marine Art Museum,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)350031; Gardner, Tia-Simone,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899071; Griffin, Shana M.,editor,curator,contributor.(CARDINAL)899070; Gumbs, Alexis Pauline,1982-contributor.(CARDINAL)853800; Johnson, Jessica Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)889864; King, Tiffany Lethabo,1976-contributor.(CARDINAL)899069; McKittrick, Katherine,contributor.(CARDINAL)877909; Osbey, Brenda Marie,contributor.(CARDINAL)899068; Pollock, Scott,contributor.(CARDINAL)899067; Sharkey, Erin,contributor.(CARDINAL)867841; University of Minnesota.Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)855718;
Includes bibliographical references."Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website."The Western formation of what has become the Americas was born through water. The metaphorical birth of a nation, nor its often violent formation, is a one time event. It is a process of taking, extracting, and dispossessing. Take -- a verb, to lay hold of, to displace things, or people, from where they belong. Nation-building makes property of things, things that were once unpossessable -- land, humans, and water. A Nation Takes Place looks at the many ways artists draw critical attention to the connection between water and nation, water and sovereignty, and water and reimagined ecologies. We look again at the convention of maritime art with an eye toward the ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession and extraction. A Nation Takes Place draws together a transnational collection of artwork , representing a variety of mediums - in an effort to unpack the ways artists help us comprehend the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slaveships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, there are histories that have been erased, histories that remain inaccessible to language, and histories resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place help us to fill in the spaces where words cannot. Located near the headwaters of the largest watershed in America, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, Minnesota) is an ideal space to stage a project like this. With its commitment to creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water and organizational responsibility to reframe the portrayal of marine art in ways that give narrative equity to Black and Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from a mix of historic works and archives from a variety of museum collections, contemporary work courtesy of the artists, some emerging, some established, and some newly commissioned for the exhibition, this project centers on artists, scholars, and communities who have been systemically excluded from narratives, practices, and presentations of American marine art." -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-23.Exhibited: "A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art," curated by Tia-Simone Gardner and Shana M. griffin, presented by The Minnesota Marine Art Museum with support from The Mellon Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, the National Endowment For the Arts, and Terra Foundation for American Art, August 24, 2024-March 2, 2025.

Broadway : the American musical / by Maslon, Laurence,author.(CARDINAL)362713; Kantor, Michael,1961-contributor.(CARDINAL)463323;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Along with jazz and abstract expressionism, the Broadway musical is one of the few uniquely American art forms. A companion to the six-part PBS documentary series (winner of the 2005 Emmy Award for Best Documentary Series), Broadway: The American Musical is the first comprehensive history of the musical, from its roots at the turn of the 20th century through to the smashing successes of the new millennium. The compelling, in-depth text is lavishly illustrated with a treasure trove of photographs, sheet-music covers, posters, scenic renderings, production stills, rehearsal shots, and caricatures, many previously unpublished. Complementing the narrative are lively sidebars that highlight the stars, the shows, and the songs--the key ingredients that make the musical great. Also included are more than a dozen full lyrics to the most essential songs of the canon, written by Broadway's most influential songwriters. An expansive appendix offers readers maps of the Theater District, and a selective chronology of the most important musicals (an Tony Award winners) over the last 120 years. An entertaining amalgam of unpublished material, candid and production photographs, and a trunkful of anecdotes and Broadway lore, Broadway: The American Musical will appeal to eighth-graders in their first high school musical as well as to connoisseurs of the art form. The third edition is revised and updated, featuring a new foreword by Julie Andrews, and covers the important Broadway musicals and trends through the end of the 2018-2019 season, including Hamilton, Dear Evan.

In the Black fantastic / by Eshun, Ekow,author.(CARDINAL)848246; Bourland, Ian,contributor.; Commander, Michelle D.,1978-contributor.(CARDINAL)850040; Elia, Adriano,contributor.(CARDINAL)859701; Martin, Kameelah L.,1978-contributor.(CARDINAL)859809; Rugoff, Ralph,1957-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)290848; Wofford, Tobias,contributor.(CARDINAL)861170; Hayward Gallery,host institution.(CARDINAL)149343; MIT Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)175217;
Includes bibliographical references, filmography, discography, and index.In the Black Fantastic' assembles art and imagery from across the African diaspora that embraces ideas of the mythic and the speculative. It brings to life the forces that shape Afrofuturism - the cultural movement that conjures otherworldly visions out of the everyday of Black experience - and beyond, looking at how speculative fictions in Black art and culture are boldly reimagining perspectives on race, gender, identity and the body in the 21st century. Standing apart from Western narratives of progress and modernity - based as they are on the historical subjugation of people of colour - the book explores how Black artists are drawing inspiration from African-originated myth, knowledge systems and spiritual practices to confound the Western dichotomy between the real and unreal, the natural and the supernatural. With 250 illustrations spanning the spheres of photography, painting, sculpture, cinema, literature and architecture, this book reaches across time, space and art form, drawing together everything from works by leading visual artists such as Kara Walker, Chris Ofili and Lina Iris Viktor to groundbreaking films like Black Panther and Get Out and the radical politics of pan-Africanism.Ekow Eshun is a writer and curator based in London. Formerly Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, he is the author of Black Gold of the Sun and Africa State of Mind.
