Whitfield Lovell (b. 1959, Bronx), a 2007 MacArthur Foundation fellowship recipient and conceptual artist, creates exquisite drawings inspired by his own collection of vintage photographs of unidentified African Americans taken between the Emancipation Proclamation and the civil rights movement. He pairs his meticulously rendered drawings done on paper or salvaged wooden boards with found objects, creating enigmatic assemblages and stand-alone tableaux that are rich with symbolism and ambiguity and evoke personal memories, ancestral connections, and the collective American past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis richly illustrated volume features essays by leading scholars that contextualize Lovell's work through the exploration of compelling elements such as sound and card playing, contemplating memory as method.\u003cbr\u003eExhibition Itinerary (exh is circulated by American Federation of Arts): \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoca Raton Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003eFebruary 11-May 21, 2023 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVirginia Museum of Fine Arts\u003cbr\u003eJune 17-September 10, 2023 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArkansas Museum of Fine Arts\u003cbr\u003eOctober 13, 2023-January 14, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCincinnati Art Museum\u003cbr\u003eMarch 1-May 26, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC\u003cbr\u003eJune 29-September 22, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX\u003cbr\u003eOctober 26, 2024-January 19, 2025\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichèle Wije\u003c\/b\u003e is curator at the American Federation of Arts. \u003cb\u003eBridget Cooks\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Departments of African American Studies and Art History, University of California, Irvine. \u003cb\u003eCheryl Finley\u003c\/b\u003e is inaugural director of the Atlanta University Center Art History and Curatorial Studies Collective; a distinguished visiting professor at Spelman College; and associate professor of art history at Cornell University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 11.5 x 9.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174103204089,"sku":"9780847872992","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/OTNJdWJSclo2L3hGNDdIOWVOWlRMZz09.webp?v=1767639977","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/whitfield-lovell-passages-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
