Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities, Reckonings

Editat de Michael Kelly, Prof Monique Roelofs
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 dec 2023
Black Art and Aesthetics comprises essays, poems, interviews, and over 50 images from artists and writers: GerShun Avilez, Angela Y. Davis, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Theaster Gates, Aracelis Girmay, Jeremy Matthew Glick, Deborah Goffe, James B. Haile III, Vijay Iyer, Isaac Julien, Benjamin Krusling, Daphne Lamothe, George E. Lewis, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis, Meleko Mokgosi, Wangechi Mutu, Fumi Okiji, Nell Painter, Mickaella Perina, Kevin Quashie, Claudia Rankine, Claudia Schmuckli, Evie Shockley, Paul C. Taylor, Kara Walker, Simone White, and Mabel O. Wilson. The stellar contributors practice Black aesthetics by engaging intersectionally with class, queer sexuality, female embodiment, dance vocabularies, coloniality, Afrodiasporic music, Black post-soul art, Afropessimism, and more. Black aesthetics thus restores aesthetics to its full potential by encompassing all forms of sensation and imagination in art, culture, design, everyday life, and nature and by creating new ways of reckoning with experience, identity, and resistance. Highlighting wide-ranging forms of Black aesthetics across the arts, culture, and theory, Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities, Reckonings provides an unprecedented view of a field enjoying a global resurgence. Black aesthetics materializes in communities of artists, activists, theorists, and others who critique racial inequities, create new forms of interiority and relationality, uncover affective histories, and develop strategies for social justice.

Recenzii

Black Art and Aesthetics is an important collection of cutting-edge essays that explore the possibility of "revalorizing" Black aesthetics in ways that embrace both complex continuities and ruptures in the freighted history of aesthetics. The volume assembles writing by some of the most innovative artists and thinkers at the core of black contemporary art history, criticism and practice.
This impressive and vibrant assemblage of artists, poets, and theorists showcases the beauty and brilliance of Black aesthetics. Each investigation buzzes with strategies for creating, living, and being despite difficulty. As a gathering, Black Art and Aesthetics promises to remake how we see the world.
The essays collected in Black Art and Aesthetics represent a comprehensive statement on the continuing vitality of Black aesthetics and a revaluation of the cultural forces that have been driving the production of art in the Black diaspora. Drawing from a gallery of distinguished scholars, poets, and artists, this volume will serve as a model of critical thinking about Black aesthetics for a long time.
Finally, we have a book that explores and tracks the fugitive, complicated, intractable, and vital idea of Black Aesthetics with the expansive critical and intellectual sophistication that the scholarship has been waiting for since the 1960s. Finally.
Now that this wonderful anthology of Black Art and aesthetics is finally here, we can see just how necessary and long-awaited it was. And it's not just a juxtaposition of texts and works of art in a still tableau. It is, fortunately, a powerful expression of the movement and life force of the inexhaustible fountain of black aesthetics: fons africanus and fons americanus all at once.
Kelly and Roelofs's collection is a welcome and much needed contribution to the philosophically-informed study of Black Art and aesthetic practices. The range of insight is impressive and the acuity of the analyses even more so. Artists and theorists alike will draw inspiration from these essays.
