Hello everyone,
On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us
this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7p ET / 4p PT) for our weekly free and
interactive tour.
#130 Considering Art: Considering Subjectivity - featuring urgent work by
Meleko Mokgosi.
Meleko Mokgosi (he/him) <https://jackshainman.com/artists/meleko_mokgosi>
born in Francistown, Botswana; lives and works in Wellesley, MA is an
artist, Associate Professor and co-director of graduate studies at the Yale
School of Art, and the co-director of the Interdisciplinary Art and Theory
Program <https://www.artandtheoryprogram.org/>.
Mokgosi’s large-scale, figurative, and often text-based works engage
history painting and cinematic tropes to uncover notions of colonialism,
democracy, and liberation across African history. His most recent body of
work, Spaces of Subjection, examines subjection and subjectivity as they
pertain to perspectives on African, African American, and Black life. Using
Foucault’s theory of “subjection” where social, political and historical
networks produce subjecthood and subject formation, the focus is not on the
subject’s agency but on systems of power. Mokgosi’s series explores how
systems of power and political forces affect how people live their daily
lives. For example, the oppressive didactic and educational structures that
contribute to how racial, gender, and other differences between identities
learned from childhood.
In this tour, we embark on some close looking.
Together we ask: What do you see?
