ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「In conjunction with his solo show at the Museum, @UOVO.art Prize-winning artist John Edmonds (@johncedmonds) has organized part of program 2 of Art on the Stoop #SunsetScreenings. His selection includes videos by Sara Cwynar, Steph Foster, Ja’Tovia Gary, Glenn Ligon, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, and Ka-Man Tse, which screen Friday and Saturday evenings at 5pm through November 7th.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The three works featured here all explore the reverberations of past cultural artifacts, from early cinema to vintage jewelry boxes. In Soft Film (2016), Sara Cwynar (@cwynars) employs plush jewelry boxes, which she sourced from eBay, as metaphors for subtle forms of discrimination against women as well as for the cycles of captialism. ⇨ Ja’Tovia Gary’s (@j_______g_______) video An Ecstatic Experience (2015) manipulates archival footage—from a 1965 TV show featuring an adaptation of narrative by a former enslaved woman to Black Lives Matter protests in Baltimore—to meditate on both liberating and violent cycles of history in the United States. ⇨ For his 2008 video The Death of Tom, Glenn Ligon (@glennligon) had originally planned to create a reenactment of the climactic scene of Edwin S. Porter’s 1903 silent film adaptation of the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) by abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe. After learning that the film had not been properly loaded, Ligon decided to use the abstracted footage, suggesting a history that cannot be fully represented and remains unfinished.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Sara Cwynar (Canadian, born 1985).
