Dede Brown and Joiri Minaya
October 13, 2017 – November 12, 2017
Opening reception: Oct 13, 6 pm
National Art Gallery of the Bahamas
Villa Doyle, West and West Hill Streets, Nassau, N.P., The Bahamas
Re: Encounter brings together Dominican-born, New York-based artist Joiri Minaya and Bahamian artist Dede Brown, who have developed new works that continue the trajectory of their practices that speak towards issues of being postcolonial subjects. Each artist uses feminized forms of representations found in nature and the female body to confront patriarchy, the rigidity of history and the stronghold and cautions of colonial narratives.
More info, including a beautifully written, in depth release by curator Holly Bynoe, here.
Containers as part of the exhibition Call & Response
October 21, 2 pm – 4 pm
Wave Hill
675 W 252nd St, Bronx, NY 10471
Spread around the Monocot garden wearing “tropical” pattern bodysuits, several women hold poses predetermined by the shape of the suit they wear. Site-specific narratives coming out of concealed speakers will meditate on immigration, landscape, camouflage, assimilation, otherness, refusal (of the gaze, of the availability of one’s image) obfuscation and (in)visibility.
During silence in between “posing shifts,” performers can take the mask or other parts of their suits off, stretch, talk to audience members or change location before their next shift when the audio restarts.
Call & Response, honors the tenth anniversary of Wave Hill’s Sunroom Project Space, focusing on site-specificity as it relates to the projects that have been exhibited there.
