#RP @studiomuseum ✨ In collaboration with twelve other art institutions across the United States and Europe, The Studio Museum in Harlem's Studio Screen will proudly present a 48-hour continuous stream of Arthur Jafa @anamibia’s 2016 video "Love is the Message, The Message is Death" beginning at 2:00 pm on Friday, June 26 on the Studio Museum's website.⠀ ⠀ "Love is the Message, The Message is Death" meticulously captures—in rapid-fire glimpses, fragments, and sound bites—the complexity, resiliency, pain, hope, and value of Black life. The film is a movingly honest portrayal of Black experience in its fullness and contains images that viewers may find upsetting, including graphic documentation of violence against African Americans. Please be aware that some content could be triggering.⠀ ⠀ The video will be streamed by: @americanart @dallasmuseumart @glenstonemuseum @highmuseumofart @hirshhorn @moca @JuliaStoschekCollection @luma_arles @lumawestbau @pinaultcollection @palazzo_grassi @StedelijkMuseum @tate⠀ ⠀ For more about Arthur Jafa, "Love is the Message, The Message is Death," and how to have informed conversations about race, please see a list of resources by visiting the link in @studiomuseum’s bio.⠀ ⠀ #DeathIsLoveIs #StudioScreen #StudioMuseumCollection⠀ --⠀ Arthur Jafa, Love is the Message, The Message is Death, 2016.

🍁#ArtIsAWeapon #Artist: Emilio Cruz #Artwork: "Thanksgiving and Other Holidays," 1986. Oil on canvas. It's okay for us to feel conflicted today: While acknowledging the true history of this "holiday" and the indigenous people who were harmed and whose land was stolen, we can also choose to give thanks and gather with loved ones. Reposted from @studiomuseum Today, The Studio Museum in Harlem gives thanks to our community of artists, art workers, educators, members, and partners in Harlem and beyond. With your support, you've enabled us to amplify art by Black artists and continue to champion our mission to be the place where Black art lives.⠀ ⠀ In contemplating the complicated history of this holiday, we share a work from the #StudioMuseumCollection. In "Thanksgiving and Other Holidays" (1986), Emilio Cruz juxtaposes the festivities associated with holidays with a jarring scene layered with numerous visual elements. In Cruz's vision, influenced by Hindu thought, life is a constant contradiction where the opposite is also always true. The same could be said for this holiday's marred, colonial past and its possibilities for a gracious, abundant present.⠀ ⠀ May your day be one of rest, reflection, and gratitude. For each of you, we give thanks.⠀ ⠀ —⠀ ⠀ Emilio Cruz (1938–2004), "Thanksgiving and Other Holidays," 1986. Oil on canvas, 72 3/4 × 82 3/4 × 2 1/4 in.

✊🏿🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #BlackAugust #Artist: LeRoy Clarke #Image: "Now", 1970. Oil on canvas Reposted from @studiomuseum "I paint with an intention for revolution…. I paint for enlightenment, to bring us closer to parting the darkness and opening up the way to our origins."⠀ ⠀ Today's Curator's Pick by Associate Curator Connie H. Choi honors artist, poet, Orisha leader, and former Studio Museum artist in residence LeRoy Clarke, who passed away last month at the age of eighty-two.⠀ ⠀ Clarke's painting "Now" (1970) depicts two triumphantly-raised fists, one clenching a broken chain, a reference to the African-American struggle for equality and the worldwide independence movement of countries under colonial rule. The image's message, as the title suggests, is just as relevant today as it was over fifty years ago.⠀ ⠀ View "Now" in the final days of "Black Refractions" at the Frye Art Museum.⠀ ⠀ --------------------------⠀ ⠀ LeRoy Clarke (b. 1938), "Now", 1970.
