Via @voltashow 🙌🏾 THE AESTHETICS OF MATTER / Curated by Mickalene Thomas @mickalenethomas and Racquel Chevremont @racquelchevremont for VOLTA NY 2018. Christie Neptune @cnvisualart 🎨 (presented by Rubber Factory @rubberfactoryny, New York) unveils her new series, ‘Unpacking Sameness’, a counter-narrative critiquing the social ills of white supremacy, colorblind ideologies, and fragility, via a mixed-media process that explores double consciousness and positions the artist’s body in space. A resident artist at @smackmellon (Brooklyn) and a Van Lier Fellow, Neptune’s interdisciplinary practice encompasses video and performance alongside static works. image: Christie Neptune, ‘She Fell From Normalcy – The Break’ (from the series “Eye of The Storm”), 2016, Video still and pigment print, 11 x 17 in. 👏🏾 Portrait courtesy of the artist. 💁🏾‍♀️ . . #supportblackart #christieneptune #voltany2018 #unpackingsameness #theaestheticsofmatter #video #contemporaryart #collage #blackart #blackartist #visibilitymatters #artlovers #artfair #contemporaryart

In tandem, the artworks in Liminal Space engage hard truths of a country defined by constant departure and deemed “a disappearing nation.” Yet, the works offer restorative narratives of why this homeland is loved. Etched out in the artists’ visual narratives are tensions conjured up when one floats in liminal space — the land lived in and the land left behind.

You can only see where you're going when looking backward. I am wrapping up the Constructs and Context Relativity series and enjoying the revelations of reflection. I've been writing a lot about the works, and through review, I've discovered new entry points and perspectives to approach each iteration. Iteration and Artistic Content: 1. Constructs and Context Relativity I : Material constructions in space and the activation of historical cultural memory through performance 2. Constructs and Context Relativity II: ephemeral/systemic constructions that inform one’s spatial perception 3. Constructs and Context Relativity III: Spatial practices in ethnic vernacular spaces/ Dancehall and my father’s lived experience in conceived space

OAR: Oliver Jeffers and Mac Premo

Under the Mush Interview with Visual Artists, Mac Premo and Oliver Jeffers

Mac Premo Bio (Present): Mac Premo, b. 1973, American artist and stuffmaker, graduate of RISD '95. Exhibited art in NYC, LA, Miami, DC and Belfast, Northern Ireland; represented by Pavel Zoubok Gallery in NYC. Mac has won 7 New York Emmy® Awards, including awards for best commercial, best photography, best set design and best PSA. A 2008 NYFA fellow in video, he currently makes art, illustration, commercials and dinner, most nights. Mac lives in Brooklyn with his wife and totally radical daughters. Also, he made The Dumpster Project (with a lot of help from some really good folks).

Oliver Jeffers Bio (Present): Oliver Jeffers is a visual artist and author working in painting, bookmaking, illustration, collage, performance and sculpture. Curiosity and humor are underlying themes throughout Oliver's practice as an artist and storyteller.

His critically acclaimed picture books have been translated into over forty-five languages, and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. His original artwork has been exhibited at such institutions as the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Palais Auersperg in Vienna. Jeffers has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award, Bologna Rigazzi Award, An Irish Book Award, and a United Kingdom Literary Association Award. His seventeenth book as author and illustrator was released in September 2019, and he has illustrated several others. Oliver grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland; he currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
