Dona Ann McAdams’s Repository of Memory The American photographer offers a singular fusion of literary and photographic art in her autobiography Black Box.

Just as Dona Ann McAdams’s photographs are emphatically her own, so too is the form of her autobiography, which charts her evolution as an artist, activist, and witness to history through flash memoirs and a retrospective of her strongest visual work.

In my studio, working on some new work from my series “ Star People”.
Enjoy 😊, remember to give me some ❤️

The Iconoclastic Vision of Barkley L. Hendricks The late artist’s work has always bristled against the boundaries of categorization, and it does so particularly here, in an exhibition centered around Afrofuturism.

The late Barkley L. Hendricks’s art has always bristled against the boundaries of categorization, and it does so particularly in “Space is the Place” at Jack Shainman Gallery.

Because folks have been mass reporting it 😂❤️⭐️

Protect your mental wellbeing ❤️⭐️

Yup, it’s about the curator/buyer and who’s going to make the most amount of money.

Artists need to just get on and make the work they want to make.

Literally a small number will get to the auction stage anyways….

I don’t need a thing, but to love on my family. That’s why we are all going out to dinner… mothers love ❤️⭐️

Trump Names Richard Grenell Interim Leader of Kennedy Center (Gift Article) The president also purged 18 board members appointed by former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who were scrubbed from an official roster on the center’s website, along with the chairman, David M. Ruben...

I served on the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities during the Obama administration. When Donald Trump won in 2016, we moved some of our educational programs to the Kennedy Center to ensure that they would continue. Sadly, that work is no longer safe.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother. There will be no pictures of you and Willie May pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 or report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion. Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be right back after a message About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution WILL put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live.

Kendrick Lamar referencing one of my favourite pieces ever at the Super Bowl, “The revolution will not be televised” by Gil Scott-Heron.

I am a painter struggling to focus at the moment, doing my best to focus on my mental wellness and being.
Question, how are you distressing?

Here is some art to give your eyes a break. ❤️⭐️

Lubaina Himid raises questions about those empowered to supervise large swaths of humanity in her “strategy paintings,” which look from the vantage point of bureaucrats.
