SUMMARY:Corporeal Microcosms
DESCRIPTION:January 7 — March 12\, 2022\nHigh Low \nOpening Reception\nJanuary 7\, 2022 \n COVID-19 mitigation policies in place. For questions or concerns\, please contact katie@kranzbergartsfoundation.org. \nAs neuroscientist Bessel A. van der Kolk states\, “the only way we can change how we feel is by learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.” Befriending what goes on inside ourselves is how we connect with each other and the larger natural world\, but in the Western capitalist system\, we separate the brain from the body\, tie shame to our most basic physical functions\, and see ourselves as machines of production.

SUMMARY:COLSON WHITEHEAD
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EVENT\nIN PERSON: The in-person event will be held at .ZACK\, 3224 Locust St.\, St. Louis\, MO. Tickets for in-person attendance are available through MetroTix and include one signed copy of Harlem Shuffle. Books will be available to pick up at the event. Tickets for the in-person event are not available to purchase at Left Bank Books’ physical location. \n**Proof of vaccination and mask will be required for entry to the in person event.** Guests will need to bring a photo ID AND either their physical vaccination card or a photo of their vaccination card. \nONLINE: To join us for the virtual presentation\, purchase a copy of Harlem Shuffle from Left Bank Books either online\, over the phone\, or in the store. Please provide us with a valid email address for sending you the event link. We will email the link to join virtually the day of the event. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nFrom the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys\, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists\, shakedowns\, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s. \nRay Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked… To his customers and neighbors on 125th street\, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture\, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child\, and if her parents on Striver’s Row don’t approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks\, it’s still home. \nFew people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks\, and that his fa ade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time. \nCash is tight\, especially with all those installment-plan sofas\, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace\, Ray doesn’t ask where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn’t ask questions\, either. \nThen Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa–the Waldorf of Harlem–and volunteers Ray’s services as the fence. The heist doesn’t go as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a new clientele\, one made up of shady cops\, vicious local gangsters\, two-bit pornographers\, and other assorted Harlem lowlifes. \nThus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life\, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed\, save his cousin\, and grab his share of the big score\, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs? \nHarlem Shuffle’s ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It’s a family saga masquerading as a crime novel\, a hilarious morality play\, a social novel about race and power\, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. \nBut mostly\, it’s a joy to read\, another dazzling novel from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning Colson Whitehead. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nColson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of ten works of fiction and nonfiction\, and is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, for The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad\, which also won the National Book Award. A recipient of MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships\, he lives in New York City. \nG’Ra Asim\, a writer and musician\, is an assistant professor of nonfiction writing at Ithaca College. He has served as writing director at the African American Policy Forum and as graduate teaching fellow in Columbia’s Undergraduate Writing Program. His work has appeared in Slate\, Salon\, Guernica\, The Baffler\, and The New Republic. When not writing prose or teaching\, he sings\, plays bass and writes lyrics for NYC DIY pop punk band babygotbacktalk\, who were named one of AfroPunk’s “Top 8 Punkest Bands on the Planet Right Now.”

SUMMARY:Grow By Virginia Harold
DESCRIPTION:Grow is a journey through years of varying mediums with a common thread; Water is Life. Virginia Harold uses photography\, chemigrams\, painting and collage to explore the Earth/Human connection\, the fluid dynamics of oil and water\, and the inimitable and ethereal essence of the Blue Planet’s magic. Virginia spent her formative years on The Big Island of Hawai’i surrounded by towering fruit trees and luscious greens\, plentiful rain and shine\, and face-to-face encounters with sea life.

SUMMARY:El Sueño Americano / The American Dream: Photographs by Tom Kiefer at SLUMA
DESCRIPTION:September 3 – December 31 \, 2021 \nTom Kiefer’s exhibition El Sueño Americano /The American Dream is traveling to the Saint Louis University Museum of Art from the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles\, where it debuted on October 17\, 2019. \nTom Kiefer worked part-time as a janitor at a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility near Ajo\, Arizona\, from 2003 to 2014. There he was struck by the personal items crucial for hygiene\, protection\, comfort and emotional strength which were confiscated and thrown away by border officials\, who deemed them “potentially lethal” or “non-essential.” \nTouched by the objects he salvaged and the stories they told\, Kiefer set himself to record them through photographs that became a testament of dispossession and loss of humanity. The photographs depict wallets\, letters\, coins\, cellphones\, food\, water bottles\, medications\, toothbrushes\, soap\, blankets\, perfumes and toys. \nThe exhibition also includes recent video interviews with the artist\, as well as with individuals who have crossed the southern border as migrants. A gallery guide outlines the history of US immigration policy and connects visitors to organizations that provide legal and humanitarian aid for migrants and advocate for a more humane policy at the border.

SUMMARY:Tom Kiefer: Pertenencias / Belongings
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 3 – Dec. 19\, 2021\nOpening reception Fri.\, Sept. 3\, 5 – 9 p.m.\nFree and open to the public \nMOCRA follows Saint Louis University’s COVID-19 prevention guidelines. The museum is currently open to both members of the SLU community and the general public. At present\, masks are required for all visitors to the museum. \nAdditional works by Tom Kiefer are on display at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art from Sept. 3 to Dec. 31\, in the exhibition El Sueño Americano / The American Dream: Photographs by Tom Kiefer. \nIn July 2003\, fine art photographer Tom Kiefer started working part-time as a janitor and groundskeeper at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility near Ajo\, Arizona. In mid-2007\, he was given permission to collect food confiscated from migrants and asylum seekers and donate it to a local food pantry. He was deeply moved at finding personal belongings in the trash bins along with the food. These items\, necessary for hygiene\, comfort and survival\, were deemed “non-essential” or “potentially lethal” and seized and discarded by officials. Kiefer began to quietly rescue what items he could\, and he resigned from his job in August 2014 to focus on photographing and documenting them in an ongoing project titled El Sueño Americano / The American Dream.

SUMMARY:Camera Work
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to be able to present a selection of plates from Camera Work\, highlighting portraits\, landscape studies and illustrations contained in editions issued from 1905-1913. Stieglitz’s perseverance and dedication to championing innovative photographic work opened the door for the acceptance of the medium—especially in America—as a valid creative tool. Although the aesthetics of pictorial photography began to wane in the 1920s\, the ability of thought-provoking images to move us has continued to the present day.

SUMMARY:Hannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake
DESCRIPTION:Experience the exhibition by reserving free\, timed-entry tickets here; walk-ins are welcome. \nHannah Wilke (1940–1993) developed an unabashed\, boundary-crossing art practice that included sculpture\, photography\, video\, and works on paper. One of the foremost American artists to emerge in the 1960s\, her experimental techniques and provocative new forms express the vitality and pleasures of the body. She applied a feminist critique to her era’s repressive norms of gender and sexuality to create work that affirms life. “I have always used my art to have life around me\,” Wilke proclaimed. “Art is for life’s sake.” \nHannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake is the first major presentation of Wilke’s groundbreaking work in over a decade. This career-spanning exhibition encompasses the full arc of Wilke’s practice from the 1960s to her untimely death in 1993. It features some of the artist’s most iconic works in addition to some that have rarely been shown. This selection of nearly 120 works demonstrates Wilke’s versatility and innovative approach to materials. The exhibition offers new perspectives on this influential artist\, revealing her to be a trailblazer who was as invested in advancing the position of women in society as she was in developing a unique artistic practice.

SUMMARY:Chloë Bass: Wayfinding
DESCRIPTION:Chloë Bass: Wayfinding is an installation of sculptures that takes inspiration from public wayfinding signage. Artist Chloë Bass (b. 1984) wrote the texts and sourced the edited archival images presented on more than thirty sculptures that will be installed across the Pulitzer’s outdoor spaces. The works comprising the exhibition are organized into four “strands\,” each anchored by a billboard that poses a question by the artist concerning human emotions\, from intimacy and desire to anxiety and loss. Accompanying sculptures include related images and statements that encourage private reflection in public space\, intensifying everyday moments. In addition to the sculptures\, Wayfinding includes a site-specific audio artwork which will be accessible by phone via a call-in number. The audio artwork is narrated by Bass; artist Damon Davis; poet\, storyteller\, and podcaster Cheeraz Gormon; and theatre artist Ron Himes. \nChloë Bass is a New York-based artist who works in performance\, publications\, installation\, and social spaces\, using daily life as a subject for deep research into scales of human intimacy. Wayfinding is a sub-project of Obligation to Others Holds Me in My Place\, a poetic investigation of intimacy within the immediate family. \nWayfinding was originally commissioned by The Studio Museum in Harlem\, in New York City\, and exhibited at the nearby St. Nicholas Park from 2019–20. Bass is working with community partners to expand the commission and revise components of the project for its St. Louis presentation.

SUMMARY:Stories of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Stories of Resistance explores artistic forms of resistance from across the world. Through visual narratives\, artists amplify and bring to focus the multitude of conditions that ignite and inspire people to resist. The exhibition will activate the entire museum space\, inside and out\, with video\, photography\, drawing\, sculpture\, painting\, and installation. Presenting narratives from many social\, political\, and geographical spaces\, the artists include: Bani Abidi\, Andrea Bowers\, Banu Cennetoğlu\, Torkwase Dyson\, Emily Jacir\, Glenn Kaino\, Bouchra Khalili\, Candice Lin\, Jen Liu\, Guadalupe Maravilla\, Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn\, Trevor Paglen\, PSA:\, Wendy Red Star\, Dread Scott\, Kemang Wa Lehulere\, and Wide Awakes (Maryam Parwana\, Combo\, Otherward). \nSt. Louis serves as an ideal platform for Stories of Resistance. Resistance movements that have arisen here\, most especially the rise of Black Lives Matter in response to the police killing of Michael Brown\, have incited global actions against racism and injustice. By looking through a local lens\, the exhibition draws connections worldwide\, revealing profound influences that traverse borders and cultures. With this in mind\, Radio Resistance\, an integral component of the exhibition\, will broadcast conversations between exhibiting artists and artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others with a deep knowledge and experience of St. Louis. Because of radio’s legacy as a tool for dissent\, it serves as the medium for dialogue between intersecting local and global agents of change. \nAlongside the exhibition and radio program\, a CAM publication will include images of works in the exhibition and writings that further explore and expand on the ideas and themes of Stories of Resistance. \nStories of Resistance is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, Chief Curator\, with Misa Jeffereis\, Assistant Curator. Radio Resistance is co-produced by Michelle Dezember\, Director of Learning and Engagement\, Al-Khudhairi\, and Jeffereis.

SUMMARY:Terry Adkins: Resounding
DESCRIPTION:The Pulitzer Arts Foundation is currently open to the public by reservation only. Book your reservation here. \nOver more than three decades\, American artist Terry Adkins (1953-2014) created a pioneering body of work that blends sculpture\, sound\, performance\, video\, and printmaking. Combining deep interests in history\, language\, and music\, he devoted his practice to upholding the legacies of larger-than-life figures\, often from the canon of African American culture. Mining historical and industrial sites\, archives\, and his own neighborhood\, Adkins would collect what others might consider detritus and carefully transform these materials into artworks of great ambition and imagination. \nTerry Adkins: Resounding brings together more than forty works from across the artist’s career\, from rarely-exhibited examples of Adkins’s early practice to some of his most celebrated works\, with selections from several acclaimed installations on view for the first time since their original debuts. The exhibition also includes selections from the artist’s personal collection\, including books\, musical instruments\, and objects from a diversity of artistic traditions\, offering new insight into the breadth of Adkins’s literary\, musical\, and visual influences.

If we can see it\, it must be true. “A photograph speaks a thousand words\,” but language is a purely human invention. Thus we must ask\, whose voice do we hear in images? Which voice is silent? How do our eyes and brains translate images to words\, and what gets lost in that process? \nAs curators\, these questions and how they pertain to our individual and collective identities have been a driving concern of the exhibitions we have organized since opening Flood Plain in fall 2017. When Tasha Burton approached us last year with the work and ideas that became R is for Racism\, we immediately recognized it as a “Flood Plain” show. It is a body of work that resonated with our organizational mission and interests as curators. Beyond its fit for our particular curatorial concerns\, we also recognized the social and creative importance of the works and its emotional and intellectual heft.  It provides insight into a shared social history of racial identity formation. Simultaneously\, it extends to us an opportunity to turn inward and see our eyes as organs shaped by what we are taught while they are also products of nature. \n“How do we learn to see race?” This isn’t a question Burton herself directly poses\, but it is a question these artworks ask implicitly. They do so with the most explicitly educational objects possible: children’s alphabet books. Burton’s creative work with these didactic objects — her process of research\, collection\, documentation and presentation — reveals the many other things these books taught besides the A-B-Cs. A child’s exposure to these books took place while being cradled in maternal laps\, flipping pages while sucking a thumb or holding a beloved doll. The young readers of these books learned to see race during their most impressionable moments of cognitive development. Children were guided in the process by the people they trusted most: parents\, nannies\, teachers — those responsible for molding young bodies and minds. \nThe objects Burton works with for R is for Racism are historical. Most of the alphabet books are dated well before the vast majority of those who will view this exhibition was born. Burton brings attention to the social dynamics regarding the way we learn about race as children; when we were most impressionable and least worldly. Some of what we have learned is still with us today. Burton’s work reminds us that as children we absorbed information\, habits\, and ideas that we never elected to obtain\, but as adults can learn to see anew. \n* R is for Racism was originally planned to open in late October at Flood Plain’s former space on Cherokee St. which permanently closed this summer. Flood Plain would like to thank Gina Grafos\, Director of Visual Infrastructure for the Kranzberg Arts Foundation\, for the opportunity to mount the show at the High Low gallery and enabling the exhibition to proceed as planned. \n\n\n\n\n\nTASHA NICOLÉ BURTON (b. 1981) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist living in St. Louis\, MO. Burton is a self-taught photographer and visual artist that uses various mediums to interrogate\, examine\, and re-imagine social issues like race\, mobility\, access\, and equality. Her work is human-centered\, providing space for new discoveries that can lead society to work better together. She uses images and tangible objects to reveal the genesis of an idea and the ways in which we utilize self-awareness to unlearn or course correct our social interactions. Along with research and a study of the human mind\, Burton’s work can be very literal for ease of understanding and aims to provide a viewer with an alternate perspective. By looking deeper\, her goal is to be a conversation catalyst for change by telling a story that challenges what we have grown accustomed to that ultimately generates an appreciation and respect for another person’s struggles\, successes\, livelihood\, agency\, and spirit.
