When I spoke to artist Malcolm Peacock last year in advance of his experiential/participatory artwork "Let the Sun Set on You," he reflected on the many ways in which the deaths of Black people affect history and spark movements, memorials, solidarity. Reflecting on his research for that piece, he said:
"It was interesting how history affects death, and how death affects history, depending on who dies, depending on what dies, what will determine how it's spoken about." In this new work, Peacock continues to grapple with death and violence, this time looking at Trayvon Martin, whose death (and the acquittal of his killer) spawned the Black Lives Matter movement.
With objects from 18 artists and contributors, this exhibition explores "different ways of perceiving and handling the realities of projections and inflictions of violence upon Black bodies and lives." The opening reception features three parts (parts one and two in the gallery, where visitors will be given more information; the third part is located at 1225 N. Calvert St.). The event description also states that non-Black people who wish to attend must arrive and be present with a Black person. Opening reception 7-10 p.m., exhibition up through March 4, Terrault Contemporary, 218 W. Saratoga St., 3rd floor, terraultcontemporary.com, free. (Rebekah Kirkman)
RACIST! :-)
Can black persons be rented for admission?
The fine print also says persons exceeding an IQ of 100 will not be admitted under any circumstances.
Wait. What?!
Wow
Ok. Now I get it. Where’s the sarc tag?
Come and Get us Muslim Killers///we are TOO stupid to LIVE!
I will be able to get in because I identify as a black lesbian. Next week I might identify as a giraffe. I always wanted to be one of them.
A close friend once told me that when she was a little girl, they told her she could grow up to be anything she wanted.
She said she wanted to grow up as an elephant.
You just can’t make this up...
Hippos are the most dangerous animal in nature, not lions or tigers. Wildabeasts and Cape Buffaloes are also deadly.
What if they think they’re black, or does that only work with gender?
I seem to remember that if you look only at the number of human deaths worldwide, the most dangerous animal is the mosquito.
I’m sure she never forgot that wish.
That should hold all he's ever accomplished.
No, the DemoRat Party own all those that would attend.
After do they head to the streets to go clubbing?
