Sharing Art Reflection: Museums

Art museums hold an enormous amount of power. Museums as institutions are tastemakersthey determine what deserves to be displayed on their walls and, therefore, what deserves to be appreciated by viewers. This art is usually created by white European artists and in favor of white Europeans. The art museums selections determine how we remember our histories, which documentations of history we value, and what art is included in the art historical canon going forward.

Please watch the Art21 YouTube video with Kerry James Marshall above. Consider Marshalls observations of what art is displayed on the museum wall. In particular, reflect on how he argues that all the art is all good, you know? We all like it. But […] at some point you become acutely aware of your absence in the whole kind of historical timeline that develops this kind of narrative of mastery. Museums determine this narrative of mastery, and when we, as viewers, attend museums, we perceive the history of art through the lens of the museum’s curation. Marshall also reflects on the fact that non-European artists only really begin to have art shown on the museum wall after they have been dominated and colonized by Europeans and [start] doing what the Europeans were doing.

Ultimately, though, it’s up to us to begin to consider what can be done to acknowledge, combat, challenge, and/or change how this system of power determines an artist or an artwork’s worth. So, for your first reflection exploring how we share art, lets consider the impact of the museum and how we might counteract systemic exclusion.

Guidelines:

To earn full credit, consider the following questions as you write your reflection:

• What effects might the exclusion of non-white European artists from the museum have on viewers? What about the effect this has on artists?
• What actions could you take (as an artist, a museum attendee, a museum employee, etc.) to acknowledge, combat, challenge, and/or make a change?

Primary source reading: “Con Safo (C/S) Artists: A Contingency Factor” 1971

Mel Casas, Chicana and Chicano Art (2019)

Casas was an educator and co-founder of the San Antonio Artist Collective Con Safoconsidered by many to be one of the most significant Chicano Art groups of the 60s and 70s at a time when Chicano art was not being shown at mainstream venues.

The letters/symbol “C/S” is found across many Chicanx art forms and it has a long history of use.

Assignment: Pick at least one line of the manifesto that resonated with you and reflect on it. Also, how does the manifesto relate to how Con Safo is used in the graffiti and tattoo communities? Watch the 2 short videos linked and/or draw from your own personal experiences of C/S if you have some. Due by midnight on Sunday.
