"Back in 2019, British installation artist @isaacjulien created a ten-screen film that served as a poetic meditation on the life and times of Frederick Douglass. The installation toured around the world and comprised of a number of reenactments of Douglass’ seminal speeches, including 'Lessons of the Hour' and 'What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?'⁠ ⁠ Just in time to celebrate Black History Month, @delmonico_books has published a stunning new art book that revisits Julien’s 'Lessons of the Hour' (2019) — serving as both a reader to the exhibition and an intimate look at the public and private life of one of the most influential figures in U.S. history.⁠ ⁠ Born into slavery, Douglass would eventually escape and become a prominent activist, abolitionist and writer who dedicated his life to advocating for equality. As the most photographed man in the 19th Century, Douglass understood the power of technology, namely the vision on how technology can influence human relations."⁠ ⁠ Details here are from 'Isaac Julien: Lessons of the Hour – Frederick Douglass' published by #delmonicobooks @tangteachingmuseum @magrochester & #isaacjulien Studio⁠ — reviewed this week @hypeart⁠ ⁠ More via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #frederickdouglass #blackhistory #lessonsofthehour https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzz7qIJSWO/?utm_medium=tumblr

#ewfoundfinds Isaac Julien’s “Eclipse” (Playtime), 2013 (detail), a part of the Murals of La Jolla, is appropriately located on a high traffic intersection as you enter the Village of La Jolla. This seemingly prophetic photograph is a part of an immersive installation film project that dealt with “late capitalism” central to the 2008 global economic crisis. The image has conspicuously taken on a new life, one that reflects the consequences of this wave of capital. Now that we are all looking outward from inside, will we rethink our priorities, our motivations, our relationship to the whole. Can we take from this tragedy and reimagine a world that works for us all. . . . . . #isaacjulien #lajollaart #lajollaliving #modernartcollector #artforartssake #arteducation #artnow #artweek #lajollalife #artnews #artsd #contemporaryarts #artcontemporary #artexhibition #artgallery #galleryart #artmuseum #museumart #artsandiego #youngcollectors #artcollectors #artcollector #artcollecting #collecteurs #hyperallergic #artforum #hifructose #beautifuldecay #theartnewspaper https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ajkUvFi01/?igshid=xftoejslptev

如果要說最害怕的事情，大概其中之一是有一天喪失了追求美感和觀察世界的動力。 #stevemccurry #isaacjulien (at 台北當代藝術館 MOCA Taipei)

One of the reasons I created the Native Son movement is so that we as Black gay men could know who we are, where we come from, and take ownership of our own narrative. Our visibility is key to our self actualization and self acceptance. Today, we stand on the shoulders of #JamesBaldwin #AlvinAiley #MarlonRiggs #EssexHemphill #GeorgeFaison #WillieSmith #GeorgeCWolfe #AndreLeonTalley #IsaacJulien #ELynnHarris #ReggieVanLee #DarrenWalker #LeeDaniels #JasonCollins #BMichael #DarrinGayles #TarellAlvinMcCraney and countless other Black gay men who dared to live their lives authentically and to elevate our culture and community. Now, it’s time for us to celebrate these Brothers and to see our own greatness and possibilities in them. Let’s make Black History now! @nativesonnow #BlackHistory #Legends #ForTheCulture #BlackManMagic #OurStory #OurVoice #OurPower #NativeSon
