Nsenga Knight: Last Rite

Performance: Sunday, February 27, 9:30 a.m.

Reception: 10:30am – 12noon

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

In Last Rite, a performance and print-based work, Nsenga Knight reimagines historical events and presents a series of prints connecting Malcolm X’s transformative final ritual– his 1964 pilgrimage to Mecca, to his assassination and funeral rites in 1965. Last Rite re-sketches the final events and rituals in Malcom X's life, and commemorates the days in which they occurred. The Last Rite performance at the Brandywine Workshop addresses the audience as witness, catalyst and participant - blurring the lines between spectator space and performance, while prompting questions about communal and ethical responsibility. This performance score is the first in the Last Rite project and commemorates the funeral of Malcolm X forty six years ago on this date and time.

The performance will begin at 9:30 AM on Sunday, February 27, 2011 in the Glass Lobby Gallery at Brandywine Workshop, 728 South Broad Street (Avenue of the Arts). Ample free parking is available on the street and at MAB Paints’ parking lot next door.

This event is free and open to the public.

Knight earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and an undergraduate degree in Film Production at Howard University. She is currently an artist in Residence at The Brandywine Workshop. Last Rite is generously supported by a Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grant.

Seeing Voices: The Visual Voice

Camden Center for the Arts at Rutgers -- March 15 - April 24, 2010

Maria Anasazi, Bob Bickery, Virginia Baich, Agnes Bolt, Ethan Breckenridge, Virginia Derryberry, Martha Gelarden and Adam Lazar, Aris Georgiades, N.Sean Glover, Lyn Godley, Robert Goodman, Jeanine Hill, Alex Kanevsksy, Larry Litt, Liz Magic Laser, Jim Lee, Catherine Martens-Betz, Elizabeth Mackie, Margaret McCann, Kirk McCarthy, Ayanah Moor, Mamiko Otsubo, Francesca Pfister, Nina Sarnell, Bill Scott, Holly Smith, Kasper Sonne, Robert Straight, Jackie Tileston, Blaise Tobia, Garth Weiser

Seeing Voices focuses on the relationship between the artist, the work of art and the audience and how the artist's “visual voice” influences the content and subsequent reading of their work. If the artist's voice derives from the sum total of an artist's visual and conceptual strategies, what is the role of an artists' intentions, ethnic background, gender, age, and larger culture in forming that voice? In a post modern era is an artist's voice as likely to be a persona as an authentic voice, and how is this affected by technology, fashion, artistic tradition and the art market?

Work by 32 artists working in a variety of media/formats. Curated by Margery Amdur and Bruce Garrity and presented by the Rutgers/Camden Department of Fine Arts and the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission in cooperation with the Rutgers- Camden Center for the Arts. The exhibition is presented at the Stedman Gallery and the Hopkins House Gallery of Contemporary Art.

How Philly Moves: a massive new gateway to Philadelphia, celebrating the joy of dance

How Philly Moves is a photographic project that local photographer Jacques-Jean "JJ" Tiziou began two years ago; it celebrates the joy of dance in all its forms. On February 2nd, Mayor Michael Nutter announced that How Philly Moves had been selected by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Philadelphia International Airport, and the Philadelphia Parking Authority to be turned into a *huge* mural (nearly 50,000 square feet) to be painted across the airport’s parking garages and welcome everyone driving up I-95 into Philly for years to come.

Jessica Clauser (MFA 2009) featured in Boxing Gloves and Bustiers, NYC!

A group exhibition that explores the many faces of heroic female figuration. Curated by Kate Gilmore.

Boxing Gloves and Bustiers is an exhibition of works that explore the many faces
of heroic female figuration through the lens of contemporary video.  The show,
which was curated by artist Kate Gilmore reflects a shift in women's
relationship to power and the subsequent critique this change entails.  
The videos range from heroic narratives to short and snappy "music videos", 
all of which evoke from the viewer empathy, intrigue and laughter.
