LCV Winter 2013-14 - (Page 59)
Deigaard's continuing exploration into the complex relationship
between humans and nature.
OPENING FEBRUARY 13, 2014
ON VIEW THROUGH JULY 20, 2014
Juan Logan
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Juan Logan now lives and works in Belmont,
North Carolina. Logan's artworks address subjects relevant to the
American experience. At once abstract and representational, his
paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations and videos address the
interconnections of race, place and power. They make visible how
hierarchical relations and social stereotypes shape individuals,
institutions and the material and mental landscapes of contemporary life.
ONGOING EXHIBITIONS
Will Henry Stevens: Selections from the Permanent Collection of
the Ogden Museum of Southern Art
Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jessie Poesch, pioneering scholar of the
art of the American South.
Artist and teacher Will Henry Stevens is one of the pioneers of
modernism in the American South. Surrounded by streams,
woodlands, trails and other extensive vistas associated with the
Southern highlands, Stevens developed an intimate bond with these
locations that informed his art and reflected his spiritual attitude
towards nature. Though his reputation was largely regional in his
lifetime, he always had a following, participating in some of the major
artistic movements of his time.
OGDEN MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN ART, GIFT OF THE BENNY ANDREWS FOUNDATION
Benny Andrews: Selections from the Permanent Collection of the
Ogden Museum of Southern Art
One of ten children, Benny Andrews was born in 1930, in Plainview,
Georgia. His father, George Andrews, was a self-taught artist, the "Dot
Man," who never lived more than ten miles from Plainview. His mother,
Viola Perryman Andrews, was an advocate for education who
encouraged her children to write and to draw every day.
After graduating
from the Art Institute of
Chicago in 1958, he
moved to New York,
where he maintained a
studio for the rest of his
life. By the late 1960s,
influenced by the Civil
Rights movement and
troubled by social,
racial and gender
inequities, he entered a
period of social and
cultural activism. He
co-founded the Black
Emergency Cultural
Coalition (BECC) in
1969 and participated
in marches outside the
Metropolitan Museum
of Art and the Whitney
Museum of American
Art, demonstrating
against the exclusion of
Death of the Crow by Benny Andrews, 1965, oil on canvas
women and artists of
color from those
institutions. From 1982 through 1984, he served as Director of the
Visual Arts Program for the National Endowment for the Arts. He was
an active member at the Ogden Museum until his passing in 2006.
