Forever Forged. Forever Becoming.


ARC Magazine, in collaboration with the African and African Caribbean
Design Diaspora, presents a collection of contemporary works by 20
established and emerging visual artists and photographers from 13
countries, including Suriname, Curacao, Trinidad, Grenada, St. Vincent
& the Grenadines, Barbados, St. Kitts, Jamaica, Haiti, Guyana, The
Dominican Republic, The Bahamas and Cuba. This collection
investigates the awakening of the artists’ experience in order to unite,
and at times criticize, stereotypical representations of ‘Caribbeanness’.

Formal elements of portraiture are met with revised ideas of self,
occupation and presence. Resolve and ownership are present in the
faces, inhabited spaces and deep within the ‘new’ landscape, one that is
internal, often collaborative and highly deliberate. These 20 artists’
works elaborate on ideas of locale and the personal, which are observed
through an expanded field of representation where the complexities of
various histories, migrations and dispersals intermingle.

Photography is primarily used as a device where the artist questions
notions of his or her perspective; the flexibility of the medium brings
about a dynamic approach in viewing each artist’s narration of the world
they inhabit. The vulnerability present in Radcliffe Roye’s ‘Nigga Beach’
portraits juxtaposed against Charl Landrveugd’s ‘Atlantic Transformerz
’ portraits – which seek to define blackness – are piercing presentations
that allow for the viewer to interact with each subject as an un-rendered
site, one not often depicted. Madeleine Hunt Erhlich’s clarity on defining
the phenomenological entanglement of presence in ‘To Live and Die
Caribbean in America’ offers a succinct rumination on the transcending
power of the Caribbean’s continuous flux.


The platform provided to ARC by the AACDD allows us to celebrate and
be proud of our elusive and tangible heritages while building a deeper,
more precise understanding of the value and necessity for artists’
works. We hope this will be a site of stimulation and sharing – to expand
ideas of creative self-expression and uniqueness. And we trust that the
vision presented, resonates and calls into question the repeating face
of the Caribbean – forever forged, forever becoming.


Participating Artists include:

Kwesi Abbensetts | Terry Boddie | Malaika Brooks-Smith-Lowe | James
Cooper | Madeleine Hunt Ehrlich | Gerard H Gaskin | Roger Gibbs |
Nadia Huggins | Marlon James | Mariamma Kambon | Mark King | Charl
Landrveugd | Manuel Mathieu | Lavar Munroe | Lara Stein Pardo | Adachi
Pimentel | Radcliffe Roye | Keisha Scarville | Stacey Tyrell | Rodell
Warner

Forever Forged. Forever Becoming is curated by Holly Bynoe.

Earlier this year, we featured the inaugural issue of ARC
(Art, Recognition, and Culture), a quarterly produced
80-page independent visual arts quarterly focusing on works by
contemporary artists practicing in the Caribbean and its
diaspora [see previous post ARC: New Art Magazine
Launched].

Two Vincentians—Holly Bynoe, a visual artist and Nadia
Huggins, a digital photographer—have just returned from
their launchings in St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Captivated by the inaugural issue, we decided to find out
more about this bold project. Here is an interview with Bynoe
(editor-in-chief) and Huggins (creative director), both shown
above and here referred to collectively as ARC:

My short film "Portrait of a Landscape" has been
selected and will be screened as a part of the Camera
Club of New York Conversation Series.

CCNY is proud to present our second Conversation
Series, with a one–night event featuring short films
by eighteen artists at Motor City Bar.

Interiority Complex
Curated by Lindsey Castillo and Jesse Cesario
Sunday, May 16th, 7:30pm
Motor City Bar
127 Ludlow Street (between Rivington and Delancey)
Lower East Side, Manhattan
Free Admission

Interiority Complex provides avenues for introspection unique
to the medium. The artist‘s ability to manipulate duration of
the image and the accompanying audio stimuli present the
viewer with a truer realization of the artist‘s personal perception.
The films in this collection speak through shared cultural
images. Here, nostalgia is invoked as a metaphor for the
common experience. By intense, violent manipulation of pop
icons, the artists included in Interiority Complex are making
bold statements about the importance of self–awareness
through perception, presented on video and Super–8 film.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please join the class of ICP|Bard 2010 for our MFA
Thesis Group Show| celebration on April 9th at the
International Center of Photography from 7pm to 9pm.
The ICP in located at 43rd st. 6th ave.

The class of 2010 includes:

Holly Bynoe | Jesse Chan | Tara Cronin | Dillon DeWaters |
Ryan Easter | Sam Falls | Waqas Farid | Michael Itkoff |
Tuomas Korpijaakko | Pierre Le Hors | Roisin Morris |
Liz Sales | Alejandra Ugarte Bedwell

This year's class of thirteen artists concern themselves
with the intricacies and consequences of perception.
Whether it is through use of the symbolic "I" of their own
subjectivity, or through investigation of the perceptual
operations of the physical eye itself, these investigators
use the tools of photography to lay bare an uncomfortable
truth: that looking and being looked at implicate and change
us. Their imagery is wide-ranging: demolition derbies,
family archives, bodily fluids, digital constructions, wary lovers.
Their pictures and installations show moments of joy, anger,
peace, and squalor. But always there is the sense of people
acting and being acted upon, of a web of association and
emotion that continues to support and guide their work.
In their choice of photographic tools, these students are
free-wheeling—they've employed everything from the
pinhole to the iPhone. The resulting works take a variety
of forms: short films, printed broadsheets, books, slide
projections, and websites take their place alongside more
traditional photographic prints. What unifies their work is a
quality of human concern and intellectual curiosity that sets
them apart from their peers.

Nayland Blake
Chair, ICP-Bard Masters Program in Advanced Photographic
Studies

The show will be up from April 9th through May 23rd, so be sure
To stop by and see all the interesting work emerging from the program.

I was featured with the collective Depthcore, for about four years.
I have been collaborating with the director http://www.justinmaller.com.
The issue specifically deals with collaborations and how they function
internally. I found it very insightful to actually start thinking about how this works
as it is a big part of who I am creatively or who I would love to be as
I harness my language and skill through film and video. As soon as
I manage to locate the pdf and figure out how to give you guys a peak
I will do so.
