SUMMARY:Virtual | Equity & Representation in Contemporary Art - A Panel Discussion for Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:12pm ET | 11am CT | 9am PT\nOver the course of time in America\, large swaths of art history have been omitted\, erased\, or ignored. This absence has created a significant void in the narrative around how people of African descent and people of color have contributed to the artistic canon. \nThe impact presents significant disadvantages for artists of color. From artists that have difficulty gaining representation\, to art historians overlooking Black and Brown artists’ contributions\, to collectors that do not have access to works they would like to acquire\, the playing field has never been level. Bias shows up in art schools\, in institutions\, in hiring practices\, in the primary and secondary art market\, and in the critical voices that influence all of the above. \nRecent news of high-profile curatorial appointments are a move in the right direction. However\, there is significant work that remains to be done. What kind of new and inclusive art world can we as art professionals help to create ? \nJoin us for this interactive session on a very timely and important topic. The discussion will address questions surrounding this subject including: \n\nWhat are the barriers to equity and representation and how can we\, as leaders\, make a difference toward that goal?\nWhat does it feel like to be an “outsider” in the art world?\nWhy does diversity and representation matter?\nHow can institutions and art spaces be more accessible to all?\nBlack art is “hot” right now. Why?\nHow does diversity in art help us to understand each other in a complex multicultural society?\n\nPanel Participants: \n\nJune Edmonds\, Award-Winning Artist\, Los Angeles\, CA\nChela Mitchell\, Art Advisor and Founder of Komuna House Global Arts Club\, New York\, NY\nDr. Kimberli Gant\, McKinnon Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art at the Chrysler Museum of Art\, Norfolk\, VA\nModerated by Lynne Toye\, Founder of Art Unpacked\, New York\, NY\n\nPlease join us after the discussion for 10-15 minutes of virtual networking in Zoom Breakout Rooms! In pre-pandemic times\, ArtTable programs were a time for members and non-members to connect with old friends and meet new people\, and we aim to simulate that in the virtual realm! \nAdmission \n\nNon-Members – $15\nArtTable Members – $10\nArtTable Circle Members – Free\n\nNot a member? Join today!  \nCan’t make the program at this time? Register anyway to receive a recording after! \nHow to take part: \n\nClick here to Register for this program.\nFollowing registration you will receive call-in information in the form of a ZOOM link.\nBefore joining a Zoom meeting on a computer or mobile device\, you can download the Zoom app from the Download Center and select the “Zoom Client for Meetings” option. Alternatively\, you will be prompted to download and install Zoom when you click a join link.\nFor further instruction on how to use Zoom\, see here.\n\nAccessibility: Please note that this program will offer live closed captioning.

These awards help fuel the forward-thinking visual arts movement that makes the Bay Area unique. Established in 1986\, the awards were designed to further the development of the region’s MFA students and to foster exploration of their artistic potential. \nThe winners receive financial awards and have their work displayed in an exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center. As universities and students have been impacted by COVID-19 this past year\, the 2020 exhibition\, curated by artist\, curator\, and educator Kevin B. Chen\, made the pivot online so awardees can celebrate safely from their homes. We are pleased to present this Artists Talk by three of the year’s talented awardees. \nAdmission \n\nNon-Members – $10\nArtTable Members – $5\nArtTable Circle Members – Free\n\nNot a member?

Her work explores the relationship between death and identity. Reflecting on a personal experience of loss\, she states\, “The impact that it has on me is extreme\, prompting me to question my identity: who I am now and who I was before I lost them.” Birdsong completed her BFA from Humboldt State University. She is currently an MFA candidate at the San Francisco Art Institute. \nAmy Elkins works primarily in photography and with a series-based approach that oscillates between formal\, conceptual and documentary. She has spent the past fifteen years researching\, creating and exhibiting work that explores the multifaceted nature of masculine identity as well as the psychological and sociological impacts of incarceration. Elkins received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is currently an MFA candidate in the Art Practice program at Stanford University. She has exhibited and published both nationally and internationally. \nClaudia Huenchuleo Paquien is a multimedia artist based in San Francisco. An urban Mapuche descendant\, born and raised in Chile\, her work reflects on feelings of sadness\, nostalgia\, and dislocation as collective constructions in attunement to places and territories. Through collage\, photography\, and installation\, her work interrogates the way in which memory\, culture\, and race function in relation to Indigenous contemporary identities and new systems of knowledge. Huenchuleo Paquien graduated from University of Concepción\, Chile\, with a degree in psychology. She completed a Post Baccalaureate in Visual Arts at UC Berkeley Extension. She is currently a third year MFA candidate at San Francisco State University. \nThank you to Northern California Chapter Executive Committee members Donna Napper\, Co-Chair and Maren Jones\, Finance Chair for organizing this program. \n\nImages clockwise from top left: Dominique Birdsong\, A Conversation\, 2019\, clay\, concrete\, red LED light and wood base; Amy Elkins\, Holding Pattern\, 2020\, pigment print on adhesive fabric\, stop motion animation on two 13” Clear Tech Televisions\, print on cotton\, used prison uniforms\, stainless steel hangers\, industrial steel pipes and fittings.
