SUMMARY:Exhibition Closing: Our Time by Antonio Serna
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see the exhibition: \nDocuments of Resistance: Our Time \nby: Antonio Serna \n\nOverview:\nLoisaida Center Inc. is pleased to present Documents of Resistance: Our Time\, a participatory exhibition and residency of new work by Antonio Serna. \nHow do we give contours to an art history that remains unwritten\, scattered across archives\, and siloed in scholarship? How can we begin to reconnect the struggle for civil rights across all artists of color and their fight for inclusion in our cultural institutions? How can we being to reflect on the complexity of artists of color and their unique experience\, political actions\, and art production as part of the art history in American? In the exhibition\, Documents of Resistance: Our Time\, Mexican-American artist\, Antonio Serna is hoping to take us down a visual path to consider these and many other questions in regards to the important but often overlook contributions of artist of color. \nCentral to the exhibition will be a series timeline collages of art and activism from each decade\, from 1960s up to our current decade. In combining the histories of artists of color\, visitors will be able to visually locate overlapping shared concerns and experiences of artists of color: from the Chicano Movement to the Black Power Movement\, and from the Labor Movement to the Feminist\, Third World Movement\, and beyond. Leading up to and during the exhibition\, Antonio Serna is asking the public to send in their memories of this resistance: people\, places\, or events relevant in order to continue to expand this histories. Serna’s interest is not just a reflection of the past hopes to inspire and empower a new generation of people of color to join the struggle in becoming the next generation of artists\, activists\, curators\, historians\, archivist\, and museum workers\, to help end discrimination in our cultural institutions. \nGoals:\nMy current project ‘Documents of Resistance\,’ is an ongoing art project that draws inspiration from the history of art and activism by artists of color from 1960-present. My goal is to develop several specific in depth projects under this expansive umbrella. Specifically\, for my residency at The Loisaida Center\, I will be focusing on ‘Our Time\,’ a multimedia installation that chronicles the connections and relationships between people\, places\, and events that influenced artists of color. Central to ‘Our Time’ is a series of 4 visual timeline-collages that contextualize this unique history. The timelines include historic images of protests against racism in museums in New York and collective activities in places such as Watts and East Los Angeles\, among other political activities. By giving visual form to this history\, we can gain an overview of overlapping concerns\, cross-cultural themes\, and socio-political forces that affected the studio production and protests organizing of artists of color. Over the span of my residency at The Loisaida Center visitors\, special guests\, and the public will be ask to comment and contribute to the project. \nDuring the research and development phase of the residency\, the artist will conduct a Call for Public Participation\, to participate please fill out this form. \nOutcome\, exhibition:\nDocuments of Resistance: Our Time\nSeptember 14th – November 30th \nExhibition Closing: Friday\, November 30th\, 2018 – 11am to 5pm \nFor his exhibition\, ‘ Documents of Resistance: Our Time\, the upcoming exhibition at Loisaida\, resident artists Antonio Serna\, is creating timelines to highlight the art and activism of artists of color.
