\u25cf Betye Saar:<\/em> Serious Moonlight<\/em> brings together a selection of immersive installations by the American artist Betye Saar (b. 1926, Los Angeles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rarely exhibited until now, they reveal how the artist seizes the evocative power of found objects. Highlighting Black identity and intersectional feminism within the broader context of west coast history and experience in the United States, these installations offer visitors radical new worlds inspired by ritual and myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich with narrative, Saar\u2019s installations are informed by the artist\u2019s travels to Haiti, Mexico, and Nigeria during the 1970s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition highlights works that meditate on spirituality, referring to elements of voodoo culture, astrology, or palmistry. The installations in Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight<\/em> evoke links between magic and technology, allude to the process of mourning, or the passage between life and death. While Saar\u2019s intimately scaled assemblages of the 1960s and 1970s are icons of Black feminist art, audiences have rarely had the opportunity to encounter the artist\u2019s monumental installations \u2014 many of which have only been recently rediscovered and are exhibited here for the first time in decades. The history of the African diaspora has inspired Saar to create a highly influential \u0153uvre of dense and vibrant forms throughout a career that has spanned decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Serious Moonlight<\/em>, 49 Nord 6 Est continues its exploration of diasporic visual languages in order to question hegemonic Western canons and the narratives that underpin them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21b3 The exhibition is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) in collaboration with 49 Nord 6 Est \u2013 Frac Lorraine, Metz and the Kunstmuseum Luzern. Curator: Stephanie Seidel, Curator,\u00a0ICA\u00a0Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21b3 A monographic catalogue is published by\u00a0ICA\u00a0Miami and DelMonico Books \u2022 D.A.P., with contributions by Sampada Aranke, Edwidge Danticat, Leah Ollman, and Stephanie Seidel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf L\u2019exposition Serious Moonlight <\/em>rassemble une s\u00e9lection d\u2019installations immersives de l\u2019artiste am\u00e9ricaine Betye Saar (n\u00e9e en 1926 \u00e0 Los Angeles).

Invoquant l\u2019identit\u00e9 Noire et le f\u00e9minisme intersectionnel dans le contexte de la c\u00f4te ouest am\u00e9ricaine, ses installations r\u00e9v\u00e8lent aux visiteurs des univers singuliers, inspir\u00e9s de rituels et de pratiques spirituelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riches en r\u00e9cits, les installations de Betye Saar sont inspir\u00e9es par ses voyages (Ha\u00efti, Mexique, Nig\u00e9ria) au cours des ann\u00e9es 1970.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019exposition met en lumi\u00e8re des \u0153uvres qui convoquent la spiritualit\u00e9, faisant r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de la culture vaudou, \u00e0 l\u2019astrologie ou la chiromancie. Elle souligne aussi les liens entre magie et technologie ou invoque le deuil et les \u00e9tapes de la vie, comme le passage entre la vie et la mort. Si les assemblages \u00e0 \u00e9chelle intime produits par Betye Saar dans les ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1970 sont aujourd\u2019hui consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme embl\u00e9matiques de l\u2019art f\u00e9ministe Noir, il ne peut en \u00eatre dit autant de ses installations monumentales. Celles-ci sont aujourd\u2019hui red\u00e9couvertes et expos\u00e9es pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis longtemps. L\u2019histoire de la diaspora africaine inspire Betye Saar pour cr\u00e9er des formes denses et vibrantes qui ont, d\u00e8s leur cr\u00e9ation, jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le influent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avec Serious Moonlight<\/em> le 49 Nord 6 Est poursuit son exploration des langages visuels nourris par les diasporas, interrogeant les canons occidentaux et les histoires qui les portent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21b3 L\u2019exposition est organis\u00e9e par l\u2019Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, en collaboration avec le 49 Nord 6 Est \u2013 Frac Lorraine, Metz et le Kunstmuseum Luzern.

\u25cf Betye Saar:<\/em> Serious Moonlight<\/em> brings together a selection of immersive installations by the American artist Betye Saar (b. 1926, Los Angeles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rarely exhibited until now, they reveal how the artist seizes the evocative power of found objects. Highlighting Black identity and intersectional feminism within the broader context of west coast history and experience in the United States, these installations offer visitors radical new worlds inspired by ritual and myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich with narrative, Saar\u2019s installations are informed by the artist\u2019s travels to Haiti, Mexico, and Nigeria during the 1970s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition highlights works that meditate on spirituality, referring to elements of voodoo culture, astrology, or palmistry. The installations in Betye Saar: Serious Moonlight<\/em> evoke links between magic and technology, allude to the process of mourning, or the passage between life and death. While Saar\u2019s intimately scaled assemblages of the 1960s and 1970s are icons of Black feminist art, audiences have rarely had the opportunity to encounter the artist\u2019s monumental installations \u2014 many of which have only been recently rediscovered and are exhibited here for the first time in decades. The history of the African diaspora has inspired Saar to create a highly influential \u0153uvre of dense and vibrant forms throughout a career that has spanned decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Serious Moonlight<\/em>, 49 Nord 6 Est continues its exploration of diasporic visual languages in order to question hegemonic Western canons and the narratives that underpin them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21b3 The exhibition is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) in collaboration with 49 Nord 6 Est \u2013 Frac Lorraine, Metz and the Kunstmuseum Luzern. Curator: Stephanie Seidel, Curator,\u00a0ICA\u00a0Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21b3 A monographic catalogue is published by\u00a0ICA\u00a0Miami and DelMonico Books \u2022 D.A.P., with contributions by Sampada Aranke, Edwidge Danticat, Leah Ollman, and Stephanie Seidel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
