Pindell

An “assemblage” is an artwork that groups different objects together. Howardena Pindell is a master of assemblage. To create her work “Untitled No. 89,” she laboriously hole-punched paper and cardboard to create small circles, which she then affixed to a board using thread, glitter, paint, watercolor, and pastel. The resulting assemblage is a colorful, joyful, and richly textured work that subverts traditional materials and fine art making.

Explore the stacks! Our staff recommendation for this month is “Howardena Pindell: What remains to be seen,” an exhibition catalog for Pindell’s first major traveling survey on five decades of her work, now on view at the Rose Museum at Brandeis University. It is the last stop of this traveling exhibit. The second image shows still images from her video piece entitled “Free, white and 21,” which Pindell made eight months after a near fatal car accident. She plays two characters—as herself telling stories about her experiences with racism and as a white woman wearing a mask, responding to those experiences by saying things like, “I have never had experiences like that. But, of course, I am free, white, and 21.”

Pindell, now at age 74, continues to teach at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. She was a cofounder of a feminist gallery A.I.R. in New York in the late 1970s, and was one of the first black curators at the Museum of Modern Art. Pindell’s work utilizes various media such as collage, painting, drawing, and video, and explores issues of racism, feminism, slavery, homelessness, and AIDS.

Happy birthday to Howardena Pindell, who was born in Philadelphia on this day in 1943. Pindell is perhaps most celebrated for her intricate mixed-media paintings. Assembled out of cardboard, paper, and glitter attached to a board, the artist used a hole punch to create hundreds of individual pieces that were meticulously attached to this work. The result is a highly sensorial and colorful artwork that playfully resists the traditional flatness of painting.

“I have traveled a lot and have lived in other countries, but the root of my knowledge about art started in Philadelphia.” —Howardena Pindell

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Howardena Pindell grew up learning about art in this city. Her recent paintings, including "Songlines: Cosmos," are unstretched canvases that invite slow, immersive engagement through their large scale and meticulous construction. As the title to this painting conveys, Pindell’s canvases conflate her assemblage of everyday materials with the cosmic dust of the universe. See these details for yourself in "New Grit: Art & Philly Now."
