摘要

|93生者和死者。这些物体的形状和力量令人惊叹,颠覆了所有关于丑陋和美丽的观念。展览以策展人Petridis、Babatunde Lawal和Frederick John Lamp的研讨会和讲座拉开帷幕。周五和周三晚上的讲座包括Christa Clarke、ZoëStrother和Elyan Jeanine Hill的演讲。金贝尔酒店还举办了导游、工作坊、电影、读书会和六月一日的特别庆祝活动。虽然展览不包括视听互动,但顾客似乎对这些物品真正感兴趣,并经常光顾画廊。也就是说,错过了用额外的视听内容吸引游客的机会,本可以活跃本已充满活力的艺术收藏,捕捉更广泛的游客人口统计数据。毫无疑问,金贝尔美术馆的《非洲艺术中的美的语言》是近年来非洲传统艺术最重要的展览之一。物品的范围和质量只有在通过教学法和音频之旅对文化含义描述的细节关注之后才能超越。物体排列的主题方法提供了跨文化风格和技术的更集中的比较。强调语言,以及用于描述身体和道德美的口头表达,可以更深入地了解艺术对非洲人民的意义。金贝尔的网站上有詹妮弗·卡斯勒·普莱斯和康斯坦丁·佩特里迪斯之间的讨论、展览制作视频以及虚拟之旅。目录包括Yaëlle Biro、Herbert M.Cole、Kassim Kone、Babatunde Lawal、Constantine Petridis、Wilfried van Damme和Susan Mullin Vogel的贡献。(康斯坦丁·佩特里迪斯主编:《非洲艺术中的美的语言》,芝加哥艺术学院,纽黑文:耶鲁大学出版社,2022年。356页,315色,30页插图,65.00美元)。

Colonial Legacies: Contemporary Lens-Based Art and the Democratic Republic of Congo by Gabriella Nugent
| 93 living and the dead. These objects commanded astonishment in their form and power, tran­ scending all notions of ugliness and beauty. The exhibition opened with a symposium and lectures by curator Petridis, Babatunde Lawal, and Frederick John Lamp. Friday and Wednesday evening lectures included talks by Christa Clarke, Zoë Strother, and Elyan Jeanine Hill. The Kimbell also hosted guided tours, workshops, films, book readings, and a special Juneteenth celebration. While displays did not include audiovisual interactives, patrons seemed genuinely interested in the objects and frequently revisited galleries. That said, the missed opportunity to engage visitors with additional audiovisual content could have enlivened an already dynamic collec­ tion of art, capturing a wider range of visitor demographics. Without question, The Language of Beauty in African Art at the Kimbell was one of the most important exhibitions of traditional African art in recent years. The scope and quality of objects was only surpassed by attention to detail in descriptions of cultural meanings through didactics and audio tours. The thematic approach in the arrangement of objects provided more focused comparisons of cross­cultural styles and techniques. Placing emphasis on language, and verbal expressions used to describe physical and moral beauty, allowed for deeper learning about the meaning of the art for African peoples. The Kimbell’s website featured discussions between Jennifer Casler Price and Constan­ tine Petridis, a video on the making of the exhibition, and a virtual tour. The catalogue includes contributions by Yaëlle Biro, Herbert M. Cole, Kassim Kone, Babatunde Lawal, Constantine Petridis, Wilfried van Damme, and Susan Mullin Vogel. (Constantine Petridis, ed. The Language of Beauty in African Art. The Art Institute of Chicago. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2022. 356 pp. 315 color, 30 b/w ill., $65.00).

Each issue features a core of peer-reviewed scholarly articles concerning the world"s second largest continent and its diasporas, and provides a host of resources - book and museum exhibition reviews, exhibition previews, features on collections, artist portfolios, dialogue and editorial columns. The journal promotes investigation of the connections between the arts and anthropology, history, language, literature, politics, religion, and sociology.
