BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS

November 2015

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events This is a completely free and unsponsored 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 creative event or a new piece of work to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for you.

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.

RUSSELL WATSON PHYLUM My fascination with the sea begins in no specific place or time. There is no beginning and there is no end. There is only continuum.

In spite of how far I have traveled, how many years I have spent in places where the sea was not as close to me as I wished, it is always there and it calls to my spirit, making me dream in poetry for which I can fashion no words or structured intonation. I have tried over the years to understand why this pull is so strong and it becomes clearer and clearer with each new investigation that the work is about origin and ancestry both in its primordial sense and in its contemporary socio- cultural context.

The portraits speak of and to that most foundation ancestral marine journey of Africans in the Caribbean. They come out of middle passage memory and metaphor echoing the Kalunga, those spirits under the sea that connect us to our continental selves. They also speak to the embryonic self, a self that is connected to the cosmic and to the atomic at the same time, a way of being that is defined more by existence than the perception of existence.

The artistic enquiries of my youth were a collision of historical, metaphysical and environmental concerns with interests in the decorated body. In the earlier work I explored this thematic framework through sculpture and performance. I return to these themes now with a refreshed sense of wonder and curiosity and a new approach that uses digital imaging as its primary medium.

My hope is that the work inspires the viewer to look more deeply at the awesome wonder of this ancient and fragile ecosystem and recognise our inseparable connection and accountability to its well-being.

REVIEW OF RUSSELL WATSON’S PHYLUM, OCTOBER 2015

By Winston Kellman It was with great interest and to some extent a familiar pleasure to hear the artist\filmmaker photographer, Russell Watson describing his working process at the opening of his recent exhibition of digital prints…PHYLUM, at the exhibition at the Barbados Community College, organized by Punch Creative Arena. The language he was using was exactly the same as I would use as a Painter in the descriptions of how images, working with a post –colonial sensitivity are constructed.

This physical representational response to, and of the Black body(s) is based on the lived experience of a physical and emotional reflexivity, of self and the notion of selfhood in a search for an artistic truth.

The ability to dismiss the medium and look at the message was also present when he made the initial transition from formal traditional ‘wet-plate’ photography to digital imagery in the late 90’s, by way of filmmaking to the new medium of digital imaging. His artistic formation, based on the ideas that ‘you can make whatever you want’ gleaned from observing his mother’s artistic practice essentially a form of bricolage, prepared him for this flexible approach to the idea of limitations of media. This inner necessity does not accept limitations or as he states, limitations are only in the mind.

This area of concentration, the mind, is set to work on the body, coming up with visions and variations, transformations and altered states, presented in three separate sections.

Authored Bodies: The relationship to painting for me was firmly established with these studies. Not at the base of a crucifix, but occupying a kind of void, the stark light of the naked light bulb absent, the glow coming instead from these contorted, manipulated, arranged forms, conveying a strange sense of repulsion and attraction. These Baconesque renderings, compressed and composed into a small scale are the carriers of a ‘terrible beauty.’ The anthropomorphic forms creating a life in their own right, capable of emanating a certain erotic, sexual energy in their deformed\reformed state. “ It is not the surface of the Ocean it is tied to its depth’’.

With this statement Watson establishes the relationship the figures have with the ocean depths, the evocations of what Edward Baugh describes as the ebony princes of this lost Atlantis and with all the poetic resonances that these figures possess. His own experiences of being underwater have helped him to come to terms with the all too human limitations, combining these experiences with the metaphysical ideas of the submerged soul. In practical terms the works produced although beautiful in their Rococo splendor, betray an ambivalence of intention and meaning, as these are recognized ‘heads’ still actively engaged in the work of constructing the cultural landscape above water. How then does death so suggested, reveal itself in these liminal, virile, beautiful bodies embedded in coral?

These bodies are still with us though ‘sleeping’, capable of being reanimated at any moment.

Head Cases reveal again filmic and painterly references and I am thinking specifically of the Odessa sequence from the silent film Battleship Potemkin of 1925 by Sergei Eisenstein. The frame of the screaming nurse shot in the face comes to mind, incidentally, the same image used by Bacon who referred to it throughout his career to inform his portraits. The concentrated release of the scream, the terror of it all.

Portraits. The major discussion here relates to the body and memory, to be able to arrive at the inner core of these individuals, a montage on the heads creating individual and collective memories is used.

The body again is used as a mediating zone and the place where culture takes root.

Emotion plays a significant role in how memories are structured and indeed can provide horizon to memories. An absence of this emotion or emotional emptiness in Art, particularly Caribbean Art signifies an arbitrariness of content. Attraction, sympathy, love, belonging are all significant components, but also hatred, hostility, mistrust, pain, guilt and shame can help to define memory.

This consciousness of self, explored through the framework of an embodied cultural investigation based on affective as well as intellectual dimensions, is part of a continuum of what the artist refers to as a visual allegory of Caribbean Independence. The medium is of secondary importance.

ARTS DIRECTORY BARBADOS How It Happened I have, for so many years, wanted to create a free online reference book where anyone, in any part of the world, may access the creative people in Barbados. I could not do this on my own and Kathy Yearwood heard of my idea, offered to partner with me and I happily agreed.

What started out in March as a small book of what I thought might be a maximum of one hundred and fifty pages turned into a tome of over three hundred pages. A mixture of excitement and fear at what we had taken on. And here we are in December 2011 with a book showing off the talents in Barbados. So exciting.

The eight month adventure began. Finding artists, photographing them and their work. From March 2011 to October 2011 Kathy and I collated the artwork, the bios and statements and travelled around the island garnering images and information.

Large collections of artwork in homes. Convincing people who thought they were too old and forgotten and watching them smile as their work was photographed and having them talk about themselves so that we could create a bio for them. Literally slipping down the hills of clay at Chalky Mount to see an original kiln and spend the day with the potters.

Temple Yard with the Rastafarian community where they are blessed with talent, especially carving, and then coming away with gifts of pineapples and avocados. Photographing in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other to get the right angles. Going to openings and craft shows and talking to many. Coming to my home, going to Kathy’s, and going wherever was needed. Meeting the different personalities in so many locations as I photographed many of them for their portrait photo for the book. Remembering some who have left us. A labour of love, learning and fun.

The thank you part as I could not have done this on my own. Norma Springer who encouraged me to “take the book and run with it”. Kathy Yearwood who offered to partner with me collating and to create the book for artists in Barbados.

Alison Chapman-Andrews for helping Kathy and I proof read. Amazing how much you miss no matter how many times we went over it. Sue Bain for offering her professional opinion and suggestions as a copy editor. Peter Boos for all the encouragement. Laura Lin Hutchinson for her introduction. Finally, the most important people, the creative souls who put their trust in Kathy and I to show them off to their best. I hope we have done this.

Huge thanks to Adopt A Stop for partnering with us on this project over the past year to support emerging Barbadian artists and introduce more artwork into the public space; it has been a wonderful experience!

Exhibitions.

I have held 20 solo exhibitions and have also participated in numerous national and international group shows.

My work has been exhibited in the Caribbean, Europe, USA and South America , is part of several public collections and treasured by private collectors worldwide.

Published writing I am a member of AICA ( International Art Critics Association) . My published writing includes 15 years of weekly art reviews in the Sunday Nation and Barbados Advocate, magazine articles on visual art, music and architecture, as well as an authorillustrated children’s book .

Exhibitions curated.

Among the many exhibitions that I have curated are Barbados Arts Council Theme shows and several major exhibitions like Francisco Cabral, at the Barbados Museum , the National Collection , at Queen’s Park Gallery.

Teaching and workshops.

I have designed and conducted many art workshops , both for adults and children.

I currently teach both practical and theoretical courses at the Division of Fine Arts, BCC. Service and Administration.

I am a former President of the Barbados Arts Council and have served as an adviser/consultant to consecutive governments in matters of art policy.

Textiles My textile portfolio includes fashion and costume design along with larger commissioned works . As a 'carnival jumbie' I have made Mas*, played Mas and judged Mas. Carnival is an essential part of my life, and appears in many forms in my work. * 'Mas' means both 'carnival' and 'costume', thus you can 'Play Mas' , 'Make Mas' and 'Wear a Mas'. I indulge in all three.

My experiences, in life and in art, have all served to nurture my main mission, the one that truly defines me: I am a painter.

This is the story of how I met an old flame and fell head over heels in love again.

It started when I borrowed a camera and took my first lessons with local photography legend Ronnie Carrington. I was hooked.

However, one month later I had to return the camera, as I left my island home Barbados and got up caught up in the world of academics. Bunsen burners, calculators and no camera on hand we parted ways.

Fast forward 10+ years, and I was in a position where I needed to take some food photos. I bought my first camera, took a few tutorials and the game was on again.

I love being outdoors and setting up for a shot, waiting to see what special show nature will present on any given day.

Landscapes/seascapes are my favourites and I have been known to go to some crazy lengths to get that shot.

When I’m not running around the islands with a bunch of camera gear in tow, I can be found, out in the lineup waiting for the next wave, jamming some tunes at a gig, or locked away in the studio recording.

I love to create.

ART FOR EVERYONE GALLERY

“I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you, to myself and to the newest ART GALLERY in Barbados.

I owned and curatored an Art Gallery in Barbados, called Coffee & Cream, from 1986 to 1996, when I then retired, to give myself more time to paint and follow other endeavors.

I am an Artist at heart. I am a stylistic realist painter. My medium is acrylics. My subject matter is extensive.

I feel strongly about promoting all artists of Barbados and the excellent work they are producing.

I have now come out of retirement and have established a new art gallery called ART FOR EVERYONE. At present I have the works of 27 local artists on display. All styles. All mediums. All sizes. All prices.

ART FOR EVERYONE is located on Hwy.7, at the top of St. Lawrence Gap, in Worthing, Christ Church.

Our parking lot is beside the Worthing Police station, and the Gallery is across the road on the sea.

The building is black and white, with a lime green door.

Now you know who we are, and where we are, please find time to come and visit with us and view and appreciate the fine works that Barbadian artists are creating.

We are open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 am to 4 pm.

I look forward to meeting you.

In an effort to cultivate discussions about the arts starting at a young age while engaging with the community, Fresh Milk will implement an outreach programme using the resources available in The Colleen Lewis Reading Room (CLRR). One of the many challenges faced by young creatives is, despite their artistic gifts, they often struggle when it comes to speaking and writing comprehensively about their work. This is a skill that would benefit immensely from reading, whether specifically arts oriented texts or even well written fiction; gaining an appreciation for articulate material is imperative to mastering one’s own practice.

Fresh Milk proposes to be the go-to point for refining these skills, beginning at CSEC level when children are expected to take their research and written abilities to a higher standard, all the way up to providing MA or PhD candidates with a deep pool of knowledge and unique material which they can draw upon. The Fresh Milk team will work with secondary school teachers in this area to construct a programme which will bring the students to Fresh Milk to show them the studio and reading room, letting them know that there is an environment available which can cater to their academic and creative needs.

MISSION The Mission of the League of Extraordinary Poets (LXP) is threefold; 1. To nurture those involved in the arts, with a special emphasis on poets and spoken word artists; 2. To edutain the public through exposure to our art, and 3. To use the voices of the artists to bring awareness to, and to actively work towards addressing issues of importance in our society.

VISION The LXP was founded on the principle that no art form exists in a vacuum. It is inexplicably tied to society, culture and time in which it is created, and that artists can improve their skills, and inspire one another when they operate in a close knit community of other like-minded artists, committed to positive feedback and professionalism in pursuing their art to its highest and best potential.

The LXP sees spoken word and other forms of poetry and lyrical commentary as art forms which are not only able to express the personal vision, emotions and stories of the individual artist, but also as vehicles to speak to social issues not addressed in other forums and to educate the public in the hopes of bringing positive change to the society in which we live.
