Dispatches from Awesome....Belletrix at ImageNation

I just braved the cold for the most amazing exhibition in Harlem - the Belletrix exhibit currently showing at ImageNation!

These amazing artists created a beautiful multi-media exhibition that expressed the diversity of the Black female artist's work. 

And it was wonderfully received! Make sure to catch it before it closes May 1st!

Dispatches from Awesome...Carrie Mae Weems at the Guggenheim

If you have not been to this amazing exhibition currently at the Guggenheim, you must go!

I am a huge Weems fan girl, but have never seen the entire Kitchen Table Series exhibited together. It is so intricately woven, it made me want to weep! Check it out on level 2!

Then head to level 4 for the ground breaking From Here... Series and just bask in the brilliance of her ability to make text and image bend to her will!

Out of my overwhelming respect for the artist, I will not post the  few picks of the exhibit I was able to sneak in, but I will show you how well received her work was. I heart you Carrie Mae!

Look Ma, I'm in the Schomburg Collection!

This past Friday the 15th, I had the honor of turning in the Cloth Series to the Photographs and Prints Collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. I am so honored to have my work included in such a prestigious collection of works. Since its founding the Schomburg has been one of the premier collections of art representing and celebrating the Black condition nationally and internationally. A special thanks to the curator of the collection, Mary Yearwood, for being such a great resource and hand holder as I went through this process. As budget cuts threaten our great institutions, let's remember and support the institutions that remember and support us. For more information on the Schomburg click here!
