Codify Art @codifyart, in collaboration with the Harlem School of the Arts, is pleased to present Revision: Translating Histories, a group exhibition of works by Nathalie Jolivert @jolivert, Aqeel Malcolm @aqeel_malcolm, Oluseye @lavishbat, and Shaina Yang @moon.mansion. This exhibition will be on view from April 12–June 2, 2018, with the opening reception on Thursday, April 12, 6–8PM, free and open to the public. Revision: Translating Histories draws from historical revisionism to examine how symbols are translated, codified, and questioned across time. Both past events and imagined futures are denatured across multiple retellings, like a game of Telephone where each recipient passes the narrative through their own filters, whether personal or hegemonic, creating increasingly specific interpretations in the process. At each nexus, the listener becomes the teller. The four artists in Revision: Translating Histories engage with cultural ancestries ranging from Haitian migration and Yoruba beliefs to the everyday mythologies of good luck charms and barber capes to craft contemporary portraits of deep-rooted canons. On view April 12-June 2 Featured work: La Vie by Nathalie Jolivert @jolivert #supportblackart #codifyart #nathaliejolivert #lavie #aqeelmalcolm #oluseye #shainayang #aniahsgnay #qpoc #qpocart #artexhibition #nycart #harlemschoolofthearts #harlem #artsy #artislife #artnerd #artworld #nycartscene (at The Harlem School of the Arts)

#Repost @jar.key ・・・ Here is a clip of Jarrett Key @jar.key creating Hair Painting No. 21. S/O @tarasgroi for shooting this! Some context written by Zalika Azim @26thletter: "A native of Seale, Alabama, Key’s practice is heavily influenced by the history and trajectory of the American South. Trusting his queer, black body to both celebrate and examine these histories, Key’s paintings are shaped by lived experiences. Reviving the legacy of his grandmother and her use of oral storytelling, a tool used by many who did not receive a formal education, his work takes on language through movements that swoosh and swirl, dip, bend and rise rhythmically." ❤️ @codifyart @them @queerart . . #supportblackart #jarrettkey #qtpoc #codifyart #hairpainting #performanceart #africanamericanart #blackart #blackartist #art #storytelling #painting #blkcreatives #painterly #artistlife #veryblack #blackexcellence #contemporaryart #blackness #blackinamerica #blavity #hyperallergic #artnet

"Man in the Violet Suit No 3 (Red) by @jkey13 🎨, an artist from the @codifyart collective Today is the first official day of @springbreakartshow! We will be featuring the individuals artists in our curatorial project STANDARD STANDARD throughout the exhibition. Be sure to check us out at 4 Times Square, Floor 23 in Room #24. We'll be here March 1-6, from 11am-6pm daily. -- First up is @jkey13 Jon Key, who sold his painting Man in Violet Suit No 3 (Red) during yesterday's press preview!! The Man in the Violet Suit series plays on the assumption of self-portraiture. The collaged elements are painted, claiming the verisimilitude of photography in role but embodying the ambiguity of pictorialization in form; the Man, who may or may not be the artist, explores how distance from perception cannot fully negate the gradation between the viewer and the self. #supportblackart #jonkey #maninthevioletsuit #painting #art #acrylicpainting #acryliconpaper #qtpoc #codifyart #blackart #blackartist #springbreakartshow #poc #representationmatters #blkcreatives #artcollector #artbuyer #artofvisuals #curated #artstagram #artofvisuals #perspective #artoninstagram (at SPRING/BREAK Art Show)

Jon Key @jkey13 first solo show “Violet: Mythologies and Other Truths” @rubberfactoryny until March 17, 2019 As Jon Key describes himself, a Queer Black man originally from the small rural town Seale, Alabama now living and working in Bushwick, NY. A writer, designer and painter, his work excavates the lineage and history of his identity through four themes: Southerness, Blackness, Queerness, and Family. Through the process of writing, photography and painting, Jon’s work is portrayed graphically through four colors: Green, Black, Violet and Red. Respectively, these colors intertwine memory and intimate recounting of the four pillars grounding the work. Jon's work has been showcased recently in Spring/Break Art Fair and “Punch" curated by @NinaChanel at @JeffreyDeitchGallery NY.  Jon is a co-founder and the design director of @CodifyArt, a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist collective whose mission is to create, produce, and showcase work that foregrounds the voices of people of color, highlighting women and queer people of color. #art #qtpoc #jonkey #codifyart #ninachanelabney #jeffreydeitch #rubberfactoryny #poc #blackness #southerness #queerness #queer #queerart #americanart #contemporaryart #africanamerican #africanamericanart #arte #kunst #blackhistorymonth #acrylicpainting #worksonpaper #artgram #artoftheday #melaninmonday #artcollector #artcurator #artadvisor #artconsultant #joakimvonditmar (at Rubber Factory) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwXHp5lIiQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h3yb29pmk21s
