Revisionist History

10 August — 21 September, 2024

Opening Reception: 10 August, 1 - 4PM
Viewing Hours: Monday & Friday 12 - 4PM, Saturday 12 - 3PM & by appointment

cam.contemporarie presents, Revisionist History, the first solo exhibition in Chicago by Baltimore based artist, Tyanna Buie. Revisionist History features works appropriated and reappropriated from 17th Century Dutch engraved portraits of political leaders. In collaboration with ChatGPT, their history and stories are rewritten and reimagined as a triumphant narrative that considers the irreparable geographical and socio ecological ramifications of colonialism.

With an acknowledgement of Afro-Futurism, the use of technology enables Buie to consider alternate inclusive versions of the world where the invisible is made visible. Through the use of video, print media, painting, drawing, collage, screen-printing, and Deep-Fake technology constructed from excerpts derived from social media and Black popular cultural platforms, Buie alters the images to reflect the contemporary condition. Using accessible tools such as smartphone applications like ReFace, she constructs an intersectional identity between self-portraiture, personal narrative, family history, pop-culture, Black cultural significant moments, social movements. This process of questioning authorship allows Buie to challenge her personal history through the retelling of past and current events, while remaking images, sound, and text to reimagine the future.

All in the Family

Join us for an opening reception on Friday, July 19 (5 to 8 pm)
This two-venue exhibition brings together works by artists who use their relatives as subjects for an examination of love and intimacy, acceptance and forgiveness, rituals and routines, and illness and loss. Selections offer a broader definition than blood relations, including aspects of chosen families and the significance of pets. All in the Family offers an opportunity to consider who and what we value, and the related joys and challenges that are part of the equation.

2nd Story will present a selection of paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, and videos by Bill Adams, Rachael Banks, Richard Billingham, Tyanna Buie, Camila Galaz, Scott and Ford Ingram, Helen Lee, and Tony Tasset.

All in the Family is co-curated by Stuart Horodner and Leah Kolb. It is on view at the UK Art Museum (July 16-November 23, 2024) and 2nd Story (July 16-October 18, 2024).

Image above: Rachael Banks, Untitled (the meadow), 2019.

Inspired by hardships endured while in the foster care system, I was fortunate to find my voice, creative vision, and a connection with the outside world through the re-making of images extracted from photographs. Photo-based images, family memorabilia, and documents sourced from family members allow me to re-visit and revive previous impressions from past events. Through a non-specific order of occurrence and a theatrical Illusion of reality, the images begin to manifest into exaggerated accounts that are inconsistent from one event to another. The use of traditional narrative and non-narrative aspects of storytelling is prevalent throughout my work, which allows me to challenge my family’s past, to re-imagine the future through fragmentation. Consisting of repetition, dissemination, and the building of images, combined with methods such as, painting, drawing, collage, and screen-printing in a non-traditional manner on paper, the pieces exist as singular pieces and large-scale site-specific installations. Drawing on my interest in narrative and shared knowledge, as well as my experience as an educator, my work has also shifted to include a focus on creating platforms for other artists and the open exchange of ideas in the art world. My artistic research explores the use of “self-portraits,” combined with the use of technology, images and texts solely derived from mass-media, while referencing pop-culture, identity politics, appropriation, social movements, politics, and authorship.

Reflective Looking: Black Printmakers Finding Self and Community Through Print

graphicimprstg.wpengine.com/project/ref…

It’s my belief that many Black artists are engaged in reenacting aspects of their artistic practice through their lives in ways that might inform self-identity, address a social or political agenda, or serve efforts of building community. I am not prescribing that all Black artists make one type of, but rather want to acknowledge the unseen relationship between the expression of identity and a sense of responsibility to one’s community.

In recent years my personal artistic practice branched when I began voluntarily giving creative workshops for young girls around themes of self-pride and expression in Knoxville, Tennessee. The realization made me look more deeply for evidence of other artist of color with a similar duality in their practice.

The seven artists in this exhibit share the similarities of both their racial background and their artistic practice in printmaking, however, what this exhibit intends to highlight is the unique commonality that these artists share an active engagement with their communities. The purpose of this exhibit is to reveal the extended practices that arise when artists feel a social responsibility to the subject, or motivation that fuels their inspiration. This extended form of parallel practice is evident in varying degrees in the artists included in this exhibit, allowing their work to exist in two modes of making, reflecting both inward and outward.

For many artists in this exhibit, the pandemic was a call to action. The pandemic stirred the need to connect with others for artist Rashaun Rucker. For him this meant reflecting on the traditions of the Southern Black church, his family, and acts of care. He began trying to find personal saints and the “God in people” to help make sense of his surroundings.

The theme of reflection is embodied in artist Mildred Beltre’s series of prints Skin in the Game which contain images of the artist herself. These colorful prints are both visually and conceptually relevant to the collaborative public art project work she has done working with the Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine (BHAM).

I first discovered the work of jina valentine through the Black Lunch Table series. A curious concept, gathering individuals around a table to collaborate, and commiserate. Her work acknowledges that there are circles of communication and the advantages to being in the right circles, or “at the table.”

In her recent Aporia: Almanac project, valentine shows data of US cities that have had the highest rates of deadly encounters with police violence among Black men. The statistics and data have been enlarged and then copied onto handmade, flax paper, which, as the artist explains, will “corrode and eat the paper eventually.”

Tanekeya Word has sought to expand her representation in the art world. As a founder of Black Women of Print, Word recognized the need to see more Black women printmakers in the canon of printmaking’s history. In her efforts to unite these women, she has also created a community for herself. With a background in arts management and completing her dissertation in urban education at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Word is actively shaping the contemporary fine art print field.

Artists Tyanna Buie, Faisal Abdu’Allah, and Aaron Coleman exist in many facets that use printmaking and print’s extended practice into multiple avenues including installation, mixed media, photography, and performance. In addition to making her monumental-size screenprints, Tyanna Buie’s video compositions are an orchestration of videos from pop culture’s history that compose natives of a more introspective perspective. Offering encouragement, and insight these videos are at once humorous, and inspiring, sharing the unique a poignant voice of the Black women’s perspective. graphicimprstg.wpengine.com/project/tya…

Dr. Faisal Abdu’Allah’s visual expression whether by print, photography, or woven tapestry, originate from the sanctity of the barbershop which he experienced as a child. He now shares this experience as a barber with this audience. I’ve always enjoyed the complex use of methods, material, and messages in the work of Aaron Coleman. His recent installations, prints, and sculptures have shared his extended practice of recontextualizing seemingly mundane artifacts and relics to discuss the history of racial discrimination in our country.

This exhibit reveals not just the multiplicity of the printmaking practice, but the research and efforts behind artistic practices that often go unseen. It celebrates when our creative pursuits are big enough to exist off the page and become shared experiences, opportunities to educate, and expand resources that service our communities.

Gateways into the Polycene is a multi-media exhibition featuring work by RISD faculty and staff that envisions a more just, sustainable, and plural future – a so-called “polycene” to follow the Anthropocene. Exhibitors responded to an invitation by the Center for Complexity to imagine transformative alternatives to human-centered processes of globalized development that are dominant today (growing out of modernity, capitalism, neocolonialism, and heteropatriarchy). The works that they created explore new or different relations in the pluriverse between humans, non-humans, and the planet; reflect on death, rebirth, and survival; and propose futurist rituals of mourning and transcendance. We invite you to attend the exhibition opening on Thursday, September 21 at 6pm, and hear from the artists and designers whose work is featured in the exhibition at gallery talks on Wednesday, September 27 and Tuesday, October 3, also at 6pm.

Exhibitors include Griffin Smith (D+M), Leah Beeferman (EFS), Lilly Manycolors (THAD/TLAD), Lisi Raskin (Sculpture), Megan Valanidas (ID), Miguel Lastra (Hyundai Research Collaborative), Stephanie Choi (Architecture), Tyanna Buie (Printmaking), and VF Wolf (Security/Museum).

The Ruth Arts Mary L. Nohl Alumni Award offers a new layer of support for former Nohl Fellows. It does this in two ways: by providing unrestricted funds to the selected artists and by working alongside artists to develop a network of career-sustaining opportunities to respond to their needs. It is awarded annually to four artists: three living in the four-county area (Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha) and one currently living outside this area.

The original Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fellowships for Individual Artists program, which launched in 2003, was designed to encourage artists to stay in greater Milwaukee, to evolve as artistic practitioners, and to contribute to our community through the creation of art. In 2022, with funding from Joy Engine, we were able to deepen the support we offer to artists.

Over the course of twenty years working with Nohl Fellows and Suitcase Fund awardees across many career stages, we have developed a better understanding of the issues faced by post-fellowship artists, particularly those who want to remain in the area: a lack of career-sustaining networks and opportunities outside greater Milwaukee.

In the spirit of the Nohl Fellowship--and Mary Nohl, who built the world she wanted to inhabit as an artist by creating her own clubs, convenings, and newsletters outside of established institutions and formalized spaces—we will work with Nohl alumni to create a program that centers artist self-determination and supports artist-defined forms of success.

Self-Preservation Exhibition
813 East Jefferson Street, Morton, Illinois, 61550

Project 1612 is an independent artist-run space and micro-residency located in Peoria, Illinois. The space was co-founded in August 2015 by Jessica Bingham, Zach Ott, and Alexander Martin. Within a detached garage, the micro-residency is 4-5 days and artists’ must end their time with an exhibition that is open to the public. For the sake of our neighborhood, and since we are not a business, the exhibition is only up for a few hours during the reception on the last day of the residency. As artists ourselves, we understand the expenses of travel, lodging, time off, etc., and do our best to limit any financial difficulties or time constraints. We also consider this more of a thinking/experimental space, not necessarily a gallery in the formal sense, so we encourage artists to interact and activate the space while exploring new ideas and concepts. That being said, all forms of artistry are welcome: painting, photography, ceramics, sculpture, installation, poetry, etc.

Project 1612 is not a business, it is an extension of our studio practice. There are no submission fees, no participation fees, and no sales of art. We simply ask that artists come to make and share their art with Peoria.

On view June 4 - July 12, 2023
Opening Reception: Sunday, June 11, 3-6pm

Like a child
or I go on the playground swings when no one’s around
or giggle is such an embodied word (For Eloise Greenfield)
November 8 – January 2, 2023

Curatorial Statement:
As my great-grandmother Ma Bessie told it, when I was a little thing in the late 1980s, likely no more than five and not pleased with being placed in the back row for a dance recital, I pushed my way to the front and proceeded to do in her words, “the funky chicken.” I have no recollection of this, and fact-checking feels disrespectful. But her repeated storytelling imprinted the tale into me. That action became a marker of who I was and must still be in parts, traces, or essence, under and within the patinas of time. I have made intentional efforts to strengthen my tie to that chubby-cheeked, gap-toothed, natural haired little Black girl in tutu, leotard, and ballet shoes. More than thirty years later, after seeing me front row and centered in a fantastical handmade costume performing within a collective of experimental musicians and artists, my mom said, “I’m glad she found friends to play with.”

Like a child was an outreach search for ultimately twenty-one artists who embrace, respond to, or collaborate with their own or another child-self in spite of or because of the acknowledgement that we can learn a thing or two from children about being in the moment, letting go, and seeing the magic in the everyday.

Like a child who dresses themselves in whatever color, pattern, or texture combination that strikes their fancy, the works on view embrace the full array of the Crayola box, the junk drawers and the stock of JoAnn’s while pushing to the back of the closet the uniform of black, black, and more black.

Like a child who is amused for hours by a cardboard box, if the world didn’t look the way they wanted it, in the way they needed it, the selected artists created ones that did on paper and canvas, in their bedroom, on a soundstage, in the great outdoors.

But also like a child, sometimes a time out is necessary to sit, process, and heal from the trials and tribulations that life throws their way. It seems to only get harder with age to make that space.

I hope you feel in these offerings something familiar, and will permit your own inner funky chicken, rabbit, pony to come out and play sometime. And here’s a playlist to help reset.

–Daonne Huff, Director of Public Programs at The Studio Museum in Harlem

Homebody Exhibition
January 26, 2022 - June 19, 2022

Artists' Reception
May 5th 2022
6-8pm

Cranbrook Art Museum
Lower Galleries
39221 Woodward Ave
Bloomfield Hills, MI

While home is commonly used in reference to a physical space, the concept of home extends far beyond the parameters of any structure. It is a place, but also a feeling. According to social scientist Aviezier Tucker, “most people spend their lives in search of a home, at the gap between the natural home…and the particular ideal home where they would be fully fulfilled.”

The exhibition Homebody is rooted in a desire to unpack the layers of “home” by placing in conversation artistic interpretations of the word and the complex feelings it evokes. Several of the artists investigate technologies used in the home, including the digital realm that opens up borders between self and other, the public and the private. Artists also abstract and reimagine traditional objects of comfort and utility, tapping into the complex relationship between the domestic space and capitalistic society. “Home” is also considered from national and ethnographic points of view through works that explore immigrant perspectives that straddle two homes, often a world apart. Other artists contemplate home from a more bodily perspective, how we find belonging in our own skin and the spaces we inhabit.

Homebody seeks to unravel the ambiguous term of “home” by delving into connotations of comfort, nostalgia, alienation, and perpetual longing evoked by a word wrapped in promises. All of the artists featured in the exhibition have ties to Detroit, granting Homebody both a local perspective and a spectrum of backgrounds and interests that reflect the complexity of the city itself.

Homebody is organized by Cranbrook Art Museum and curated by Kat Goffnett, Assistant Curator of Collections at Cranbrook Art Museum.

Imprinted in Madison: Artists Making Their Mark features prints by contemporary artists whose paths brought them to or through Madison. UW-Madison has the top printmaking MFA program in the country and the UW's Tandem Press produces fine art editions of prints by internationally renowned artists. As a result of these two outstanding institutions, many emerging and prodigious printmakers come to Madison to study, teach, or produce prints. In that way, Madison subtly affects the artist and in turn the artist impacts our city, creating an influential cultural nexus. To celebrate the importance of printmaking within our local arts ecology and honor some of the printmakers who have made or are making their mark on Madison, the 2022 Municipal Building Exhibition showcases a wide variety of prints and printmaking processes from internationally exhibited artists and locally celebrated printmakers alike.

Patrick Earl Hammie: I Am ... Legend • Tyanna J. Buie: EMBODIMENT(S)

October 23, 2021 - February 12, 2022

October 23rd marks the opening date for two new solo exhibitions under the umbrella of the Freeport Art Museum’s Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Initiative. The BIPOC Initiative aims to encourage artists and patrons of color to view the Freeport Art Museum (FAM) as a welcoming venue for artists of color to exhibit their work and seeks to develop an improved relationship with the broader BIPOC community so that a more socially inclusive and diverse audience feels at home and embraces it as their museum.

The inaugural BIPOC artist to show this year is Patrick Earl Hammie, professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana – Champaign. Hammie selected the second artist, Milwaukee-based Tyanna J. Buie, to show concurrently in an adjacent gallery. Each artist is creating new work to install in FAM’s main galleries in October of this year. Buie will select the artist for the following year, establishing the succession of artists for the series.

Over the next five years, two solo shows per year will be awarded to artists of color selected by artists of color. This systemic change aims to help center Native American personhood, address anti-Blackness, dismantle white supremacy, and advance racial justice.

Five Wisconsin artists collaborate with Shepard Fairey on mural

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE , October 7, 2020 - Milwaukee, WI - Internationally acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey and his Obey Giant team will begin painting a seventy-four hundred square foot mural entitled “Voting Rights Are Human Rights,” on the north side of the Colby Abbot building in downtown Milwaukee this week.The central image in this mural will feature a portrait of an African American man looking skyward, surrounded by artwork and imagery provided by five Wisconsin artists.

Through a process of conversation and sharing of design drafts, Wisconsin artists Tom Jones, Dyani White Hawk, Tyanna Buie, Niki Johnson and Claudio Martinez collaborated with Fairey to incorporate their artworks into a single cohesive mural.

“The issues of health and voting for people of color are synonymous,” says Tom Jones. “We must not be complacent in these matters. Going to the polls to have our voices heard enacts positive changes for each of our communities and ripples across the United States.”

The original photograph that the central portrait is based on was captured during a civil rights march in the mid-1960’s by photographer Steve Schapiro. Fairey met Schapiro at the opening of The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery, Alabama. Fairey recalls, “As I looked through his numerous beautiful and powerful photos, we discussed the possibility of collaborating on the spot.” A firm believer in the importance of collaboration and alliance, Fairey has spent the last thirty years working with other artists and activists in the fight against social injustice.

The “Voting Rights are Human Rights” mural was originally part of a national tour to support the 2020 election season. In a financial reaction to the COVID pandemic, the largest corporate sponsor had to withdraw, cancelling the tour; however, Fairey remained committed to installing the Milwaukee mural. Fairey states, “The impetus for this project was rooted in activism and advocacy. Although the original pre-COVID funding of the project was stripped away due to the pandemic, it remains a goal of mine to work within the community of Milwaukee to lift up the urgent message of democracy and voting. We were able to get commitments for funding to cover the costs of travel and materials needed. I will donate my art, time and pay collaborators and my art team to work with me on painting the piece.”

Current community efforts surrounding the project involve seeking out potential alignment with non-profit organizations, whose missions also involve fighting voter suppression and bringing out the vote for November’s presidential election. This includes working with the Milwaukee Bucks, in a further push to use the power of their respective platforms to make a difference in the effort to encourage voting.

“We are facing voter suppression in many places in the nation, but I especially wanted to address that issue with my mural in Wisconsin since voter suppression has been such a problem in the state,” says Fairey.

Fellowship.art is a free, 12-week accelerator designed specifically for visual artists to achieve greater visibility and success by providing the support and mentorship needed to navigate the art industry. Of the top accelerator programs in the country, gener8tor is the only one to offer grants and programming for artists.

The following artists and collaborators have been selected to receive the grant awards and positions in the program: Tyanna Buie (Milwaukee, WI and Detroit, MI), Le’Andra LeSeur (Jersey City, NJ), Dakota Mace (Madison, WI), and Open Kitchen (Milwaukee, WI). The selected artists and collaborators are incredibly diverse in their artistic practices, including printmaking, sculptures, installations, performances, Diné (Navajo) weaving and beadwork, photography, and food-based research projects.

Buie, LeSeur, Mace, and Open Kitchen were selected from a pool of 200 applicants after multiple rounds of application reviews and virtual studio visits. The artists were chosen based on a jury’s gauge of the artist's talent, the compelling nature of their bodies of work, their strong career goals, their ability to be significantly impacted by the program, and the social impact of their work.

Having grown up in foster care, Tyanna Buie doesn’t have a lot of family photos or mementos so she makes art to make up for the lack of physical evidence from her past. She’s literally re-creating her personal history through large-scale, mixed media works.

Focusing on specific, personal accounts and micro-histories that elucidate the crisis of mass incarceration from distinct and singular perspectives, On the Inside Out highlights such themes as isolation, invisibility, psychological barriers, the absent or unseen body, and the actual prison wall itself. Artists include Maria Gaspar, Cheryl Pope, Tyanna J. Buie, Ashely Hunt, Sherrill Roland, and Hank Willis Thomas.

Im•Positioned: Photographs and other material evidence of Tyanna Buie’s disrupted childhood are rare. In these new works, Buie continues to rely on the collective memory of her family to make connections between the past and present. She gathers memorabilia and re-visits and revives previous impressions from familial accounts and recollections to create large-scale monotypes and screen prints. For Im•Positioned, Buie places these personal investigations in a larger context, responding to the work of other artists in residence at Lynden for Call & Response: echoing the family references in Folayemi Wilson’s Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities and capturing Reggie Wilson’s bodies in motion. Buie was a 2012 Nohl Fellow, and this exhibition has been organized in conjunction with the 15th anniversary of the Nohl Fellowship.

ROUND IN CIRCLES
Curated by Jennifer Junkermeier

Round in Circles is a group exhibition that explores formal and metaphorical implications of the circular. Probing the banal to the absurd to the disheartened, each work included in the exhibition employs some form or manifestation of a circle, loop, spiral, cycle, spin, circuit or hole. The exhibition reflects on a broader, collective feeling of the times, that of moving without getting anywhere, ending at the beginning, of literally going round and round in circles.

Artists: 'jide Aje, Danielle Aubert, Corrie Baldauf, Davin Brainard, Tyanna J. Buie, Alexander Buzzalini, Shane Darwent, Clara DeGalan, Simone DeSousa, Erin Imena Falker, Jessica Frelinghuysen, Ani Garabedian, Richard Haley, Asia Hamilton, Megan Heeres, Eli Kabir, Osman Khan, Austin Kinstler, Nicola Kuperus, Timothy van Laar, Anthony Marcellini, Adam Lee Miller, Shanna Merola, Eleanor Oakes, Ato Ribeiro, Robert Platt, Marianetta Porter, Dylan Spaysky, Todd Stovall, Gregory Tom, Graem Whyte, Elizabeth Youngblood, Alivia Zivich
