"Body-ody-oddy" Exhibtion Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in December, 2018.This is an image of the Body-ody-oddy exhibition held in the Clough Hanson Gallery. The exhibition consisted of artists exploring the body at, against, and beyond its boundaries, creating hybrids, amalgams, and excesses that illuminate the ways that politics and pleasures are made flesh. It featured work by Katie Torn, Alex Paulus, Melissa Wilkinson, and Moth Moth Moth and the Haus of Phantosea.
Alex Paulus commented on his work, stating "My paintings are a representation of how ridiculous I think life can be...I also like to include humor in the work. If my art can make people laugh and feel good, I’ve succeeded. The paintings are usually very bright and bold in color, and the subject matter can be a little bizarre. The use of brightly colored paint seems to curb some the strange imagery and make it more palatable to the viewer."
Melissa Wilkinson commented as well, saying "These series of paintings focus on my interest in dichotomies: obscuring and revealing, attraction and repulsion, good and evil, the past and the present. I appropriate imagery from a variety of sources in order to develop a pastiche that fractures the conventional male gaze and positions art historical models as both subject and spectacle. I choose to dismantle epic narratives from the past to create a schizophrenic perspective. The images break from their original sources into fragments, creating a complex visual experience that both irritates and seduces. It is through this body of work that I seek to challenge the hetero-normative male gaze and reinvent a fluid view that fluctuates between unconventional representations of the erotic body.
"Supreme Being: The Symmetry of What You Saw and What You Say" Official Installation Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in February, 2018.This is an installation image of Rashayla Marie Brown's exhibition "Supreme Being: The Symmetry of What You Saw and What You Say". The exhibition description reads as such: "In an 'undisciplinary' installation, Rashayla Marie Brown (RMB) explores a diverse array of media including writing, photography, voiceover acting, and an installation of a makeshift red 'dark room,' school desks, red vinyl window coverings, and a red carpet. Melding the aesthetics of kitsch (bourgeois realism) and communist art (social realism) with those of high art (museum design) and film, RMB’s work explores the coercive foundation of systems of display found in the desire to communicate a clear, moral message across various cultural contexts". Lauded as a 2017 Artadia Awardee, artist-scholar Rashayla Marie Brown (RMB) manages a living studio practice across an extensive list of cultural production modes, including photography, performance, writing, drawing, installation, and video art. Pictured in this photo is the work "The Time it Takes For Your Eyes to Adjust in the Darkroom".The exhibition opened on January 19 in the Clough Hanson gallery

"Young, Gifted and Black: The Lumpkin-Bocuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art" Exhibition Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded by Echo O'Connor to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during fall 2024.This is a digital image documenting the "Young, Gifted and Black: The Lumpkin-Bocuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art" exhibition featured in Clough-Hanson Gallery in the Fall of 2023. This is an excerpt from the exhibition brochure: "In 1970, the celebrated singer and activist Nina Simone and the poet Weldon Irvine released the song, ?To Be Young, Gifted, and Black,? which became an anthem commemorating the achievements of the African American community during the Black Power movement. Nearly fifty years later, this exhibition, drawn from the Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art, celebrates Simone?s prideful call to action. Young, Gifted, and Black?with over forty contemporary artworks made in the last thirty-five years?arrives at a moment of unprecedented visibility for black artists who have historically been underrepresented in museums and major collections. Younger-generation voices, in dialogue with established predecessors, explore questions of race, sexuality, power, and history, while also pushing the boundaries of artistic practice. Some of the works on view address the daily, real-world struggles of African Americans, while others focus on more personal?and more universal?questions of identity.We hope that this exhibition will inspire your own investigation into the same questions these young and gifted artists are asking." The show features the artists: Derrick Adams, Kevin Beasley, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Nayland Blake, Caitlyn Cherry, Cy Gavin, Sadie Barnette, Jordan Casteel, Bethany Collins, Alteronce Gumby, Chase Hall, Allison Janae Hamilton, Lonnie Holley, Jarett Key, Eric N.

Machera Floors Installation Images
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in Fall 2019.This is an Installation Image taken by Chip Pankey of Johana Moscoso's "Machera Floors" exhibition in the Clough-Hanson Gallery. Johana Moscoso’s "Machera Floors" are a series of large scale floor sculptures accompanied by process videos in which the artist and her peers dance Colombian cumbia and salsa over unfired porcelain tiles. The wet tiles, imprinted with impressions of the dancers’ heeled shoes, were fired, glazed, and re-assembled into large sculptural dance floors that archive dynamic expressions of the dancers' movements. The indelible impressions in "Machera Floors" embody the history of migration, which needs to be remembered and constantly retold in an America that tends to overlook the cultural assets and values created by immigrated populations.
There was an Artist's talk held on September 5 at 6:00 in Blount Auditorium. The Opening reception was on September 6 from 5:00 - 7:00. The Exhibition was on view through October 12
