Editorial Review Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera MoAd’s timely exhibit a must-see By Jessica Moskowitz (08/24/2008)" On exhibit at the de Young is the vibrant work of Chihuly and SFMOMA has the revolutionary work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. If you’ve already been to San Francisco’s big two, it’s time to explore the Museum of African Diaspora’s (MoAD) contemplative, civically-inspiring “Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera", organized by The Amistad Center for Art & Culture with curators Lisa Henry, M.A. and W. Frank Mitchell, Ph.D. This timely, collective body of work is not to be missed, especially considering the African American population of San Francisco is depleting faster than you can say gentrification.

Editorial Review Slavery: InHuman History at MoAD It Can’t Happen Here By Clifton Lemon (03/08/2007)" Slavery in California? I’m reminded of the Frank Zappa and the Mothers song "It Can’t Happen Here", which, in its 60's impressionistic way, is about our innate ability to block certain concepts from our image of everyday reality. One of the big shockers (and there are many shockers) about Slavery: InHuman History, currently at the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, is that it did indeed happen here. Slavery in California was not widespread as in other states, but documents recently located by scholars give definite proof of its existence. Two of these rare documents comprise part of the exhibition. " |
Editorial Review The Louisiana Project at MoAD Magnificently Mounted Masquerades of Metaphor By Clifton Lemon (03/08/2007)" I don’t remember exactly when or where I first encountered Carrie Mae Weems’ work, but she left me with a distinct impression. It was like the first undiluted moment of recognition you have when you meet someone who will eventually change your life -- a teacher, a friend, a lover, or an enemy. I don’t have much use for most art or most artists these days. I’m so over piles of dirt in corners, post-religious art object worship, and the narcissistic, academic, post-structuralist prattle about “gendering” that’s been inflicted upon us for the last generation or so.
