SUMMARY:Curated Conversation
DESCRIPTION:A Curated Conversation with Curator of the Collection\, Bradley Sumrall\, and Entwined artist\, Sonya Yong James\, will publish to the O Blog this Wednesday\, July 1 at noon. \nWatch on the O Blog\nSonya Yong James was born in 1971 in Knoxville\, Tennessee. A lifelong Southerner\, she has lived for the past forty years in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where she maintains her studio. Art making has been an integral part of her life since childhood. James attended Georgia State University – where she studied under renowned visual artist\, Larry Walker (father of Kara Walker) – earning a BFA in Printmaking in 1999. Although her degree was focused on printmaking\, her primary interest and production shifted into sculpture. Spending more time in the sculpture studio\, she explored the potential of fiber in her work\, a focus that has continued for over twenty years. \nThe studio practice of Sonya Yong James utilizes the textile techniques of weaving\, knitting\, spinning\, dying\, felting animal hair\, and sewing. Combined with ceramics and found art assemblage\, she engages fiber arts to produce abstract sculptures and installations. While referencing narrative and the figurative concepts of body and landscape\, her works remain formally abstract. \nSpirit is the Bone is a large-scale abstract fiber-arts landscape. While it was created specifically for this exhibition and inspired by the landscape of South Louisiana\, it incorporates elements from an earlier sculpture\, Phantom Threads. The former sculpture was installed in the Conklin Metal Industries building in Atlanta in 2019. Speaking directly to the narrative of the venue – the building was slated to be destroyed in 2020 – Phantom Threads was inspired by Gwisin – ghosts of Korean folklore that are said to inhabit abandoned buildings. James often reuses elements from previous installations in new work\, as if giving new life to old concepts and materials through a process of artistic reincarnation – in this case\, giving ghosts of the past new purpose in the present. \nHer work is often monochromatic\, and her choice of color is informed by the narrative of the piece. By choosing white for Spirit is the Bone\, James references Asian culture’s use of white as the color of mourning or grief. Having created this work during the tumultuous spring of 2020\, James used the process as an act of emotional repair – grieving those that were lost during the global pandemic and mourning those killed in police violence. The use of small white animal figures not only speaks to natural systems of ecology\, but also references the freedom of wildlife to roam while humans stayed home in isolation during the pandemic.  Although formally abstract\, this work speaks directly to this moment and this place\, while referencing history\, philosophy\, ecology and the artist’s own emotional state. \nFor James\, every element of her sculpture has significance and meaning. Bedsheets – which she spins on a wheel to create chains and chords – are highly charged materials. “We are born in bedsheets\,” she explains. “We sleep and dream in bedsheets. We are sick and healed in them\, and very often we die in bedsheets.” Clay is another charged element in her work – embodying the elements of earth\, air\, fire and water. Cotton and other plant fibers have significance for being tended\, cultivated and processed by humans for centuries. Wool felt comes from sheep who have been dependent on mankind for generations. Nets and webs can reference one of mankind’s earliest tools for survival\, or even the modern internet or worldwide web. Each element adds to both the formal abstract composition and the narrative motivation of the work. The title\, as the piece itself\, is intentionally allusive\, allowing space for the viewer to interject themselves and their feelings. Through binding all of these elements together\, the sculpture ultimately explores the tension between the abstract and the real\, emotion and body\, spirit and bone.

SUMMARY:Curated Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, our Kohlmeyer Circle members enjoyed a special talk with artist Jeremy Novy and Bradley Sumrall\, Curator of the Collection.\n\n\nIn this conversation with Jeremy Novy and Bradley Sumrall\, we learn about Jeremy’s artistic background\, see other pieces of his work from around the country and discuss his role in the queer street art movement.\n\nWatch on the O Blog\n\nABOUT JEREMY NOVY\n\n\nJeremy Novy is a contemporary artist\, currently based in San Francisco\, whose practice is firmly rooted in street art traditions and uses stencils as his primary medium. You may recognize the koi fish that he has painted on sidewalks and buildings around New Orleans. He has created other pieces around the city as well\, some that you may be less familiar with; “Jeremy Novy’s unique brand of street art is ripe with thoughtful social examinations. Novy has combated a homophobic lack of representation with a celebration of gay iconography\, bringing joviality and warmth to disused urban spaces.”

SUMMARY:Curated Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join What Music is Within artist\, John Barnes\, and Bradley Sumrall\, Curator of the Collection\, as they discuss Mr. Barnes’ studio practice\, career and inspiration. The conversation will be posted to the O Blog at noon on Thursday. \nWatch on the O Blog\nABOUT JOHN BARNES \nJohn Barnes is a sculptor who mainly deals in wood assemblages. Barnes first took an interest in art when he enrolled in the Baton Rouge public school system\, but his passion flourished while enrolled at Southern A&M University. Using wood found in his Algiers neighborhood\, Barnes pieces the debris and refuse into intricate designs influenced by racial politics\, gentrification and income inequality. New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta region\, more broadly\, form the backdrop for the artist’s work\, while the material\, subject matter and final display are directly of the place. \nBarnes is currently the director of the Visual Arts Program at Dillard University\, a position he has held since 2004. John Barnes’ assemblages have been on exhibit all around New Orleans\, and he was featured in the Prospect.1 International Biennial in 2008. \nABOUT WHAT MUSIC IS WITHIN: BLACK ABSTRACTION FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION \n“My poetry\, I think\, has become the way of my giving out what music is within me.” ― Countee Cullen \nAt a time when American museums are reassessing the history of 20th century art by correcting the omissions of the past and including more artists of color in meaningful and significant ways in collections and exhibitions\, What Music is Within: Black Abstraction from the Permanent Collection presents some of the strongest voices from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s permanent collection. These works use abstraction as a powerful modality of expression. Each of these artists project their own voice to convey their individual visions. With work that spans almost five decades\, this exhibition includes masters such as Sam Gilliam and emerging practitioners like Horton Humble. The critical contributions of Xavier University\, a keystone New Orleans art program\, is also strongly represented through artists John T. Scott\, Ron Bechet\, Martin Payton and Jeffrey Cook. \nThe creative process is a highly individual and personal endeavor – a way of giving physical form to abstract ideas or emotions. The African American artists in this exhibition all have deep ties to the American South and they each create through the language of abstraction. Yet\, even with those shared elements of identity\, they maintain strong unique voices\, expressing\, as Countee Cullen wrote\, “what music is within.”

SUMMARY:Ogden After Hours at Home
DESCRIPTION:Ogden Museum presents Ogden After Hours at Home\, featuring music by Southern musicians and DJs. \nThis week\, we’re paying tribute to the great Ellis Louis Marsalis\, Jr. \nAbout Ellis Louis Marsalis\, Jr.: \nEllis Louis Marsalis\, Jr.\, Jazz pianist and music professor\, was born in New Orleans\, Louisiana\, on November 14\, 1934. Marsalis began his musical journey playing clarinet and perfected his craft at Xavier University’s Junior School of Music. He would later go on to tenor saxophone where he began playing Rhythm “n Blues as well as piano\, all while still in high school. Marsalis entered Dillard University in 1951 as a Freshman music major and earned his B.A. degree in music education. \nAfter military service\, Marsalis returned to New Orleans and married Delores Ferdinand and had six sons: Brandford\, Wynton\, Ellis III\, Delfeayo\, Miboya and Jason. Through the 1960s and 1980s Ellis played in many clubs and with many bands such as the Al Hirt band. Marsalis came to greater attention and notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s as the patriarch of a musical family\, with sons Branford and Wynton also becoming notable musicians. Though he was heavily involved in the music scene\, one of his greatest passions was also teaching. \nIn 1974\, Marsalis joined the staff at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts High School (NOCCA)\, where he worked for twelve years. There\, he would influence the careers of countless musicians\, including trumpeter Terence Blanchard\, pianist Harry Connick Jr.\, saxophonist Donlad Harrison\, and his four musician sons\, Wynton\, Branford\, Delfeayo and Jason. \nWatch on Facebook Watch on Zoom \n
