Abstract

Abstract In February 1971, the artist collective Aesthetic Dynamics, Inc. presented its first major undertaking: an exhibition of over 130 works of art by 66 artists. Organized as a memorial to the late James A. Porter, Afro-American Images 1971 was presented at the National Guard Armory in Wilmington, Delaware. Many of the artists who participated in the show were well-established nationally; however, the location and inclusion of many artists known only to the local community resulted in the marginalization of this significant exhibition. In 2021, the Delaware Art Museum will restage the exhibition as a collaborative curatorial partnership with past and currents members of Aesthetic Dynamics, Inc. in an effort to counter this historical amnesia. Restaging as a curatorial methodology is a constructive means through which to aid in the recovery of the 1971 project, its archival record and its significance locally and nationally.

股份有限公司的审美动力呈现：非洲裔美国人的图像1971

摘要1971年2月，艺术家团体“审美动力”股份有限公司推出了其第一项重大事业：展出了66位艺术家的130多件艺术作品。《1971年非裔美国人图像》是为纪念已故的詹姆斯·a·波特而组织的，在特拉华州威尔明顿的国民警卫队军械库展出。许多参加展览的艺术家都在全国范围内享有盛誉；然而，许多只为当地社区所知的艺术家的位置和参与导致了这场重要展览的边缘化。2021年，特拉华艺术博物馆将重新举办该展览，作为与股份有限公司美学动力过去和现在的成员的合作策展伙伴关系，以应对这种历史遗忘。作为一种策展方法，复原是一种建设性的手段，有助于恢复1971年的项目、其档案记录及其在当地和全国的意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Curatorial Studies is an international, peer-reviewed publication that explores the cultural functioning of curating and its relation to exhibitions, institutions, audiences, aesthetics and display culture. The journal takes a wide perspective in the inquiry into what constitutes ''the curatorial''. Curating has evolved considerably from the connoisseurship model of arranging objects to now encompass performative, virtual and interventionist strategies. While curating as a spatialized discourse of art objects remains important, the expanded cultural practice of curating not only produces exhibitions for audiences to view, but also plays a catalytic role in redefining aesthetic experience, framing cultural conditions in institutions and communities, and inquiring into constructions of knowledge and ideology. As a critical and responsive forum for debate in the emerging field of curatorial studies, the journal will foster scholarship in the theory, practice and history of curating, as well as that of exhibitions and display culture in general. The journal supports in-depth investigations of contemporary and historical exhibitions, case studies of curators and their engagements, and analyses of the critical dynamics influencing the production of exhibitions in art and broader display culture. The Journal of Curatorial Studies invites contributions from scholars within curatorial studies, art history, museum studies, cultural studies, and other academic disciplines. The journal publishes both thematic and open issues, and features research articles, contemporary and historical case studies, interviews with curators, artists and theorists, and reviews of books, exhibitions and conferences.
