As kids he always encouraged my sister's and I to create our own legacy don't try to be him or walk in his shadow. I loved him dearly for that. I agree with what he says, firstly as my father and 2nd because it is truth and as a dancer i have lived it. Sure young artists may not take $100 now because they know better, thanks to the foundations set by the forerunners ... I thank God for his life and works. I<br /><br />Sincerely, Christina A.

She was born on October 16, 1960. She was born in Jamaica, later settled in New York. She had a passion for photography despite she wanted to do film making. Hence led to Sacred Geometry. <br />Sacred Geometry was created based on certain topics like identity politics, empowerment, race and issues with women. Sacred Geometry was a part of her way of art which would take people out of their comfort zone. This piece consist of black and white images displaying self-similar patterns. She was inspired by mathematical concept that was used by ancient and now Africans. The work was projected unto a white wall. <br />- Yashique Clarke<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-89703108542317624802015-03-07T10:17:03.147-05:002015-03-07T10:17:03.147-05:00Thank You Annie, We are hoping Pendulum can become...Thank You Annie, We are hoping Pendulum can become something else as well.Oneika Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604487109821506815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-41150701456877201882015-02-23T17:35:30.407-05:002015-02-23T17:35:30.407-05:00Fascinating. thanks. some of the artists you featu...Fascinating. thanks. some of the artists you feature are really good. and the idea of a digital counter-biennial is a good one.Annie Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741373844055889633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-77828341269255195482015-01-29T12:31:48.397-05:002015-01-29T12:31:48.397-05:00After a visit to The National Art Gallery i found ...After a visit to The National Art Gallery i found interest in the works of Renee Cox. Her work was designed in a geometric kind of way, using people as her main instruments to show her views n life. Renee is said to do her work based on what she believes in such as the upliftment of the human race, of females and such. Her work was displayed in a dark room onto a wall by use of a projector. <br /><br />The work contained shrincked images of a male arranged in such a way as to give a feel of empowerment and as such grabs an onlookers eyes. At first glance one would not know that the piece was made of such but during the presentation it began getting clearer each time. The main concept in her work as stated before is human upliftment, although no two pieces are the same, she always finds a way to incorporate this into what she does.<br />-Kimora WooleryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-48361287482422971712015-01-28T21:47:02.410-05:002015-01-28T21:47:02.410-05:00The National Gallery's 2014 Jamaica Biennial f...The National Gallery's 2014 Jamaica Biennial featured the work of Sheena Rose as a video installation called "Town". There were 2 videos being projected onto the white walls, directly across from each other. Both had a town theme but they were different. The artist used a frame by frame approach that seemed almost stitched together to tell different stories, at times of someone waking up, making a phone call and then taking the bus into town, meeting up with friends, walking on the street and weaving between still images of persons. The second video focused on shop merchandise, buildings and electric wires, and was more about inanimate objects in town and not so much about people. <br />In both videos the main images were brought into focus by removing some areas of the picture and replacing those parts with ink lines and ink or watercolour washes. As a viewer you were always interested because of the different techniques used, including filling talking or walking people with text, this could be a way of communicating things that were happening to them, it seemed that the words were describing them or the way they were thinking or what they were saying. She sometimes started a scene with a very busy image filled with detail, and as each frame passed she removed lines to create a simple image, then did an ink wash. At other times the images were built until a whole picture developed from what started as very simple lines showing a street scene or a store window display. Negative images were created by having darker surroundings. The combination of negative and positive people and things, along with the medium tone of the word-filled figures gave different dimensions and helped with creating perspective in the film. - Christopher Denton<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-36817118355047017882015-01-22T20:40:35.159-05:002015-01-22T20:40:35.159-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-43535118023058290252015-01-22T20:30:31.115-05:002015-01-22T20:30:31.115-05:00While viewing Renee’s piece the intricate arrangem...While viewing Renee’s piece the intricate arrangement of the human body parts actually caught my attention. In her piece she incorporated limbs from the human body to create symbols of sacrifice etc. Each symbol was surrounded by a dark background which was used to create an illusion; the symbols appeared to be coming out of the screen. Some of these symbols can be associated with different religions. The piece was created digitally and was presented on a monitor to the artworld public.<br />Renee Cox uses limbs from the human body (both male & female). These limbs are from people from different socio-backgrounds/Race each of which plays its own individual roles. Some of the symbols of produced movement. In creating her work she used repetitive overlapping techniques to form a wide range of religious symbols she also used sound in the background to create mood among the viewers so that they can better able relate/understand what the piece is representing and also for tranquillity. Renee used the digital medium to express her religious beliefs and in which create art.

The colored video consists of edited live action footage of two women; one white and one black. For the entirety of the video, the women are only viewed from above the waist in the center of the screen and they’re surrounded by a black background that blend into their clothing as it is also black, taking the attention away from what the women were wearing and placing it at on the women’s faces. Sometimes only of the women will be on the screen in the video, while they’ll be together in other parts of the video but, they’re a theme throughout the whole video. Most of the times when the two women are on the screen together, they’ll be communicating with each other with movement like a dance. Some parts of the video featured two dancing pair of arms and since one of the pair of arms is white while the other is black, one can assume that they belong to the women and they were recorded separately from. <br /> When these dancing pair of hands appeared on the screen, they overlap in front of the recorded images of the women. However, the dark side on the arms seems transparent as they didn’t block out the women. This video was projected on to white surfaces opposite to each other in a dark room in an exhibition at the National Gallery with a video projector. Since the video only consist of edited live action footage in color that ran at a frame rate one can assume is at list 40 to 60 frames per second and had decent resolution, it probably is a contemporary piece. I think that the video is about racial unity. Gender seems to be a theme but, I can’t come up with any gender-related message from the video so I’m not sure if it’s relevant.<br />-Marlon MinottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-31779035286205832952015-01-22T13:39:22.745-05:002015-01-22T13:39:22.745-05:00The audiovisual "Otherness" done by Oliv...The audiovisual "Otherness" done by Olivia McGilchrist displays two females expressing their emotions by gestures with their upper body and facial expressions. Miss McGilchrist didn't allow the characters to speak, instead she chose a nonverbal approach and used tranquil sound effects as audio. This was displayed in the National Gallery of Jamaica. The video "Otherness" seems to be about race or unifying race. She executed the video in a dark room while the characters were clad in black clothes.<br />Miss McGilchrist used live female characters to play the roles in my opinion this is because of the fact that females tend to be more emotional than males especially if it is about having differences, hence better execute the concept. The characters were nonverbal during the entire video that lasted for 7 minutes, this gave me a chance to use my imagination and figure out what the miss McGilchrist is trying to say. In the video the characters were separated at a point they seemed lost, scared and paranoid as hands coming from above seems to taunt them but once they were united they expressed emotions of empathy towards each other sharing whispers and touching each others face showing affection and finally raising their heads and hands to the skies.<br />-Stephanie JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-6570674807860542862015-01-22T13:04:27.174-05:002015-01-22T13:04:27.174-05:00The approximately nine (9) minutes long video anim...The approximately nine (9) minutes long video animation or film done by Renee Cox was entitled “Sacred Geometry”. The piece was constructed by digitally manipulated images of the body to created beautiful geometric shapes. These shapes bear similarities to the gothic rose windows and also the mandalas. She used radial balance and symmetry throughout the entirety of her piece. Repetition of certain parts of the images also played a key role in the execution of her piece.<br />The piece was displayed using a monitor as a medium. It was designed in such a way that a section of the previous shape was used to create a new shape. This made the transitions seamless and easy on the eye. Self-awareness, empowerment and spirituality was some the concepts that I observed throughout the animation or film. On occasions within the piece the manipulated bodies were grouped together to form a shape or image that could be a depiction of the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi. The word “goddess” was also mention on several occasions within the piece. This goes to show that being divine or a “Goddess” was of key importance to this piece .-Achim Clunis <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331114234242609267.post-41852505862435540282014-06-16T19:27:51.252-05:002014-06-16T19:27:51.252-05:00I am glad the article helped convey the events to ...I am glad the article helped convey the events to you.
