THE BLACK LIST PROJECT

Volumes 2 and 3: Portraits by Timothy Greenfield Sanders

August 24 – October 2, 2011

Artist lecture on August 30 2011
7 pm in the Forum located on the second floor of the Elaine Langone Center
A reception will follow in the Samek Art Gallery

This exhibition consists of twenty-six framed portraits by filmmaker/photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. The portraits showcase African-American luminaries who have excelled in a wide array of professions and endeavors. Greenfield-Sanders created The Black List Project with Elvis Mitchell, a National Public Radio correspondent and former New York Times film critic. The two wished to use the photographs and the documentary to explore and, possibly, to redefine the negative connotations of the historically and racially-charged word “blacklist.”

The Greenfield-Sanders exhibition will give spectators an opportunity to delve into questions that emerge from the complex histories of portraiture and the conflation of those histories with the (re) presentation of the raced body. As we are all raced beings, the exhibition will evoke questions and potential dislocations of assumptions for all who experience it.
