VISUAL ARTS BARBADOS JULY 2023

VISUAL ARTS BARBADOS

Cover by Carla Hinds

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events Magazine

Thirteen years of the publication

All issues

https://issuu.com/corriescott

This is a completely free magazine created out of the need to inform so that we can get to exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and more, rather than hearing about events after they have taken place.

I encourage anyone with a visual arts event to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for your exhibition, classes, workshops, talks etc.

Let’s get the arts out there!

Please, pass this magazine on to others and so help the creative side of Barbados get all the exposure possible.

Visualartsbarbadosevents

The Barbados Arts Events page was created to promote the Visual Arts Events in Barbados and artists whether exhibiting here in island or overseas. The focus is on the events for the fine arts, encompassing art, photography, sculpture and installations, gallery receptions, exhibitions, talks, interviews, workshops, publications, studios, residencies. I will also post visual art collaborations with writers, theatre, dance, videos, music and creatives but it has to encompass the visual arts/artists to be posted on this page.

I started this page because I felt that the visual arts were not getting much needed exposure to expose the talent in Barbados and around the world. I wish I could encompass all the creative arts as there is so much happening on this tiny wonderful island of ours but I am a one woman band doing this free. Over the years this page has become a support for all creative events in Barbados and I was happy for this but realised that it was diluting the fine arts section which it is meant to focus on.

I need to bring the focus back in these group pages to the visual arts.

Thank you for understanding.

Shari Arthur at Drift

“Barbadian artist Shari Arthur, previously Garnes, has been on the art scene for more than 25 years. Beginning her career in painting landscapes and seascapes, Shari further expanded her talent and interests to realistic pencil and acrylic portrait art. She has depicted many local icons including, Rihanna, the Right Honorable Sir Garfield Sobers and kela Jones, with her recent portrait of popular race car driver Zane

Maloney gaining the attention of many on social media. She has achieved numerous local awards and even has had the pleasure at the young age of twelve to create work for the UNICEF Child Awareness Month show at llaro Court. Shari's goal has always been to share her art with Barbados and the rest of the world in an attempt to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of both the island and its amazing people.

"Renewal" is the first exhibition since the pandemic began that brings Shari's work back into the public eye. She describes the exhibition as a chance to show people how she has grown, experimented and triumphed through this challenging time. She hopes the exhibition encourages others to do the same.”

KAIJUNE Day 0l: The Wreck

When the bizarre meteor landed in the ocean we celebrated. Celebrated that the howling black hammer of blazing fire and frozen stone had not landed on a populated place, or sent up a tsunami to decimate cities. After the ruin started - when people demanded to know how no one had seen what was to come the satellite technicians would swear they'd seen fire blasting from the bottom of the thing, slowing it as it had torn the sky. Later, much later, men had watched the ocean in wonder at what looked to be the largest masted ship the world had ever seen, gnarled wood and strange barely flapping sails that didn’t catch the wind. And when the Wreck rose from the ocean, mist and spray dripping from a maw that glowed, all that saw knew it was doom that had come from the sky and doom that heaved it’s titanic form from the ocean.

But it was a beast, and humanity had ruined and broken every beast it had ever encountered, how different could this one be?

Grantley Adams Memorial School, Blackmans, St. Joseph

"Repurposing our Heritage for a Dynamic Future“

Exhibition of art by well-known artists and school children and a display of medicinal plants!

“Last Remains of an Old Slave Hospital - St.Joseph

How many out of 280 000 knows about this place?”

"There have been a number of “watersheds” of health care in Barbados over the last 200 years, beginning with the period of amelioration in the late 18th century, when abolition of the slave trade was recognised to be imminent, and the plantation owners established hospitals for the slaves." - as described by Sir Henry Fraser in Things That Matter- Barbados Advocate. It is believed that this is the only one that survives today. This former plantation was then acquired by Government in the 1950's and adapted to house the former West St.Joseph School.

The last owner is believed to be Sir Donald Wiles, who later became President of The Barbados National Trust. (From 2015)”

Sonia Boyce “Crop Over”

2007-2008

Video and Photographic Installation – Harewood House / Barbados Museum & Historical Society

Photographs taken by William Cummins

Sonia Boyce created the installation titled "Crop Over" in 2007-2008, which comprised of video and drawings. The installation, displayed at Harewood House in the United Kingdom and the Barbados Museum & Historical Society in Barbados, features a splitscreen video showcasing the sights and sounds of the Crop Over Festival and Wildey House in Barbados. It includes interviews, archival material, and footage of various Barbadian folk characters and cultural traditions, such as Mother Sally, Donkey Man, Shaggy Bear, Tuk Band, Tilt/Stilt man, and the Landship. The installation goes beyond visually representing the historic festival and delves into the exploration of diasporic belonging, visibility, the role of gender in carnival, and visitor participation in intangible cultural heritage practices.

The exhibition at Harewood House was part of their commemoration of the 200th year anniversary of the abolition of the British transatlantic slave trade. The project was a collaboration between the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, the National Art Gallery Committee in Barbados, and Sonia Boyce. In July 2008, the installation was also exhibited at the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, and included photographs of the “Crop Over” work by William Cummins as a collaborative component of the project. Since then, "Crop Over" has been featured in several significant exhibitions, including "Prospect 4: The Lily in Spite of the Swamp" in New Orleans in 2018 a retrospective of Boyce's work at the Manchester Gallery of Art in the same year, the BNAG exhibition “Threshold: Images of our Past, Visions of our Future” in 2021, and “Life Between Islands” at Tate Britain (2021- 2022).

Allison Thompson, in her article "Sonia Boyce and Crop Over" published in Small Axe, reflects on the work, emphasizing Boyce's motivation to uncover the unexplained aspects of the festival and the significance of hybridity in "Crop Over." The installation presents multiple voices, including opposing explanations and contesting stances, creating a diverse narrative.

About the Artist

Sonia Boyce (b.1962) is a highly influential British artist of Caribbean descent and a Professor of Black Art and Design at the University of the Arts London. Throughout her career, she has held numerous solo and group exhibitions and has contributed to academic publications in the field of Black diasporic art. Boyce has also been involved in significant research, including her role as a Director of the African and Asian Visual Artists Archive (AAVAA) from 1996 to 2002. Her works can be found in prestigious collections such as Tate Modern, Victoria & Albert Museum, British Council, and Arts Council Collection. In 2019, she was appointed an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for her services to art. Boyce was selected by the British Council to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale 2021 where her exhibition “Feeling Her Way” won the Golden Lion Award for Best National Participation. In her artistic practice, Boyce emphasizes collaboration and participatory situations, often incorporating spontaneous and unrehearsed performative actions. She works across various media, including drawing, print, photography, video, and sound, exploring the relationship between sound and memory, the dynamics of space, and engaging the spectator.

“

Hi! Welcome To Antillean Gallery of Art!

My name is Jeena Chatrani and I recently started Antillean Gallery with the intention of promoting and selling art from Caribbean artists online.

I'm an artist myself and I've found that the art scene in Barbados could greatly benefit from some online presence. For the last 6 years I've been a full time artist and have had to learn a lot about the business behind selling art. It's not easy to make it as an artist but it is so fulfilling.

With Antillean Gallery of Art I hope to help raise the standard of art and artists in Barbados, and eventually across the Caribbean.”

-Jeena Chatrani

Somewhere, amid the darkness, a painter measures a blank canvas, a poet tests a line aloud, a songwriter brings a melody into tune. Art inspires, provokes thought, reflects beauty and pain. I seek it out even more in these times. And in so doing, I find hope in the human spirit.”

In its developmental role, the Foundation uses culture as a tool for national development fostering and supporting the various art forms and new cultural products. In its commercial role, the Foundation is responsible for the promotion, production and hosting of cultural festivals and associated events that are considered economically viable or socially acceptable. A key part of this function now includes the responsibility for the staging and execution of major governmental and national events. In addition, as culture becomes more pivotal to national and international policy, the National Cultural Foundation continues to re-assess its responsibilities in light of all its functions.

FUNCTIONS of the NCF are:

To stimulate and facilitate the development of culture generally

To develop, maintain and manage theatres and other cultural facilities and equipment provided by Government

To organize cultural festivals

Assist persons interested in developing cultural expression.

OBJECTIVES of the NCF are:

To provide opportunities for Barbadian artists/artistes to showcase their talents with the end result being an increased demand for local work

To educate Barbadians concerning their heritage

To offer Barbadians and visitors alike a high quality product that informs, educates and entertains

To equip our cultural workforce with technological skills and training to excel in their particular art forms

To strengthen the local cultural product and in the process increase profits to the shareholders

To create high quality products that will be competitive on the local, regional and international markets

To maximize the role of the cultural sector in the tourism industry
