On view in History Lessons:
Joe Mama-Nitzberg
Another Side to the Picture, 2021
Archival inkjet print in custom painted frame
Courtesy of the artist and Grant Wahlquist Gallery, Maine

For this kaleidoscopic work, Joe Mama-Nitzberg took as his starting point an archival photo of Judy Garland kneeling to kiss her daughter Liza Minnelli at Carnegie Hall in 1961—two figures with a devoted following of gay fans. The artist mirrored and inverted the starstruck, nearly all-male audience showing them in quadruplicate while masking the faces of the two iconic entertainers with dots—in reference to a technique begun by West Coast conceptual artist John Baldessari in the mid-1980s.

The title and text across the image “But there is another side to the picture that you and Proust don’t show” comes from a letter that gay writer Christopher Isherwood wrote to author and public figure Gore Vidal in response to the original ending of his novel The City & the Pillar, a coming-of-age story considered groundbreaking in 1948 for bringing visibility to gay experiences. Marcel Proust (1871–1922) is a French novelist known for themes of memory and nostalgia.

Diverting our attention from the performers, Mama-Nitzberg invites us to see another side to the story, that of the fans and their implied desires. The deep purple and resonant reds and oranges convey melancholy, passion, and longing, bearing witness to an emotional history.

History Lessons is on view Jan 27-Apr 4 at the University Art Museum, University at Albany.

Inspired by a true story, this intimate tale follows a Cuban refugee with a murky past who now lives off the grid performing odd jobs for an upper-class family. After an unforeseen event forces him into a chancy situation, his best friend lays out a risky plan to help free him from his dangerous dilemma.

Luis Gispert is the director of CAJITA (2024) and an internationally recognized American visual artist living and working in New York. His work has been exhibited at institutions all over the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami; the Royal Academy, London, UK; MoCA Shanghai, China; Palazzo Brocherasio, Turin, Italy; and the Haifa Museum, Israel. Born in New Jersey to Cuban immigrant parents he was raised between New York City and Miami. He attended Miami Dade College, studied film at the Art Institute of Chicago, and earned an MFA in sculpture from Yale University.

Ryan Murphy is the film editor and producer of CAJITA (2024), winner of Best U.S. Narrative Feature at the 2024 New York Latino Film Festival. As editor, he has collaborated with many leading directors, including Errol Morris, Michael Moore, Greg Mottola, Jason Reitman, Ben Stiller, Roger Waters, Tom McCarthy, and Ethan Coen. His work is featured in many notable films including STILLWATER (2021), SYRIANA (2015), THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY (2013), and ADVENTURELAND (2009).

Now on view in History Lessons, Tim Rollins and K.O.S. from our Collections:

Based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream (c. 1595), this work was created at the University Art Museum in 1998 during a three-day workshop Tim Rollins led with students from four regional middle and high schools in upstate New York. Rollins followed the model he had developed for decades, first with Intermediate School 52, a junior high in the South Bronx, of merging artmaking with reading and writing skills.

On the first floor of the museum, where visitors could witness their creative activity, students read and acted out scenes of the play (guided by London actor David Acton), and then distilled the play’s narrative to a single visual motif they agreed upon: a flower. They individually painted their flowers using fruit juices and collaged them onto the pages from the book itself, disrupting the text while revealing another side of it. The work is emblematic of Rollins’s radical pedagogy based in collaboration and activism.

History Lessons is on view Jan 27-Apr 4 at the University Art Museum, University at Albany.

Now on view in History Lessons, two works by Colin Chase from our Collections:

Colin Chase provides meditations on Black life in the United States by repurposing patriotic symbols and mottos in his digitally composed series “of cries and whispers.” In “e pluribus unum #25,” Chase repeats the nation’s Latin motto “out of many, one,” stretching and flipping the text in square patterns that begin to resemble a quilt. In “flag,” lyrics from the R&B song “None of Us Are Free” (first recorded by Ray Charles), a call to fight racism, are reproduced in the red stripes and transposed to Morse code in the white stripes. Repeated in the blue field is the title of Martin Luther King’s 1967 book Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, which King wrote at a moment when Civil Rights progress seemed to plateau.

History Lessons is on view Jan 27-Apr 4 at the University Art Museum, University at Albany.

Today!
Join us at 4:30pm for a talk by interdisciplinary artist-educator and learner Kameelah Janan Rasheed.

Rasheed explores themes of language, memory, and the production of Black knowledge through her large-scale text-based installations, videos, sound works, and drawings that interrogate historical narratives and archives.

Rasheed has had solo exhibitions at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; the Art Institute of Chicago; and Kunstverein Hannover, among other institutions, and her awards include a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship and 2022 Creative Capital grant. Additionally, she is the author of five artist books, founder of the consultant business and microgrant organization Orange Tangent Study, and founder of the digital archive Black Orbits.

Rasheed's work is featured in the UAM’s exhibition History Lessons.

On view in History Lessons:

Jeffrey Gibson
SHE KNOWS OTHER WORLDS, 2019
Acrylic on canvas, glass beads and artificial sinew inset into custom wood frame
Forge Project Collection, traditional lands of the Moh-He-Con-Nuck

Gibson’s work brings together multiple q***r and Native histories. The bright colors and rhythmic patterns here are inspired by House music, the joyous upbeat electronic genre begun by q***r Black DJs in the 1970s and 1980s club scene of Chicago, where the artist lived in the mid-1990s. The glass beads around the perimeter recall the color and geometric patterning of Native designs, particularly those of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw. Gibson recombines elements of history to explore the liberatory possibilities of creating a world different than it is now, an idea suggested by the work’s text which reads: “She knows other worlds.” The text is stylized to the point that each letter might not be recognized in isolation, for example, the black and white bands that compose the “E.” However, when read together they become visible, supporting each other like notes in melody.

Now on view in History Lessons: Judith Braun’s 52-week postcard project Weinpersonally Yours (1993-94) from our Collections.

Judith Braun, a.k.a, Judith Weinperson, created a series of fifty-two announcement cards that she mailed weekly to her friends and colleagues. One side of each colored-stock paper postcard is treated with provocatively captioned images, while the other displays text that includes the adopted name Weinperson—that she, “in a wry gesture of political correctness,” changed from her married name Weinman. In the familiar, immediate space of a postcard, Braun addresses social constructions of identity, power, and sexuality.

History Lessons is on view Jan 27-Apr 4 at the University Art Museum, University at Albany.

Now on view in History Lessons: Louise Nevelson’s complete print portfolio Façade (1966) from our Collections.

Renowned assemblage sculpture Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) photographed her sculptures, cut the pictures up, collaged them, and printed the results to make 12 screenprints which she juxtaposed with 12 printed poems from Edith Sitwell’s (1887-1964) collection Façade (1923). The works demonstrate Nevelson's experimental approach to visual grammar and syntax, and they are examples of many works expressing the artist's affinity for the witty and unconventional poet. Each print is exhibited alongside its corresponding printed poem.

Open: 1 ½ x 13 5/8 x 9 ¼ inches; closed: 1 x 7 x 9 ½ inches
Courtesy of Alexander Gray Associates, New York

Collins has gathered one hundred versions of The Battle Hymn of the Republic in this artist book. Using a laser cutter, she precisely burned out the musical notation on each page, leaving charred edges as the only trace. Speaking on the role of erasure in her work, which often includes erasing or masking words from archival texts, Collins says, “I feel a physical mastering of language. By deciding what’s legible, I’m dragging out the meaning already there.” The numerous meanings that can be drawn out from The Battle Hymn of the Republic are shaped by the critical moments in American history when iterations of the song have been sung by early nineteenth-century abolitionists, suffragettes, labor unions, and Civil Rights activists, among others. In this work, they are all bound together across time.

In strenuous solo or multiperson performances and videos that integrate painting and sculpture, Kate Gilmore challenges hierarchical relationships around gender and art, including this performance, “A Tisket, A Tasket,” recorded here at the UAM in 2013. The full video is currently on view in our exhibition “Body Maps.” Strewn with drips, splatters, and smears of the green paint leaking from the baskets, the scene recalls the legacy of Abstract Expressionist action painters, like Jackson Pollock who standing over his canvas on the floor, painted in a kind of performance or dance. Using her own body as the medium in this work, Gilmore challenges the heroic, vertical position of the artist. .

Come see “Yelaine Rodriguez: EBBÓ” on view at the University Art Museum Yelaine Rodriguez’s 2021 film EBBÓ (“Sacrifice”) reinterprets a 1998 chamber opera by Cuban composer Louis Aguirre telling a tragic story of devotion and defiance. Rodriguez sets the film among colonial ruins and the shores of the Dominican Republic where two dancers, Jeremy Antonio Caro and Rayser Rafelina Campusano Rosario, perform to the turbulent music in costumes Rodriguez designed. As with all of Rodriguez’s meticulously researched work, which encompasses video, photography, costume design, and sculptural objects, EBBÓ offers new representations of Afro-Caribbean religious and aesthetic heritages, especially those from Regla de Ocha, or the Rule (Order) of the Orisha—sometimes called Santería. The 25-minute film is presented as a wall-sized video installation in the UAM’s second-floor Nancy Hyatt Liddle Gallery and runs continuously during museum hours.

Come visit the inaugural exhibition I’ll Be Your Mirror, featuring works from the University at Albany Fine Art Collections by artists including Edward Steichen, Andy Warhol, and Mary Ellen Mark, in dialogue with pieces on loan by past-exhibiting artist Dave McKenzie. While closed to the public during the Covid-19 crisis, museum staff worked behind the scenes to remodel a second-floor office into an exhibition space that highlights works in the UAM’s Collections. This new Collections Study Gallery will follow a rotating exhibition schedule highlighting artworks from the Collections in tandem with past exhibiting artists and/or emerging or established contemporary artists.
