			<title>[Thursday, March 04, 2010] Artist Talk: Kerry James Marshall</title>
			<link>http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/calendar/itemview.asp?VIEW=main&amp;ITEM=32064</link>

			<description>
			FROM 6:00 PM TO 8:00 PM: 
			
			<![CDATA[Join artist Kerry James Marshall for an illustrated talk, &quot;John Brown's Body: The Representation of Black Bodies as Revolutionary Gesture,&quot; on his most recent work.<br /><br />A nationally renowned painter, installation artist and filmmaker, Marshall reflects and continues the tradition of moral conscience of Gordon Parks and other leading African American visual artists. Marshall creates large-scale paintings that explore African American culture from the Civil Rights Movement to today, drawing from and weaving a history of black experience into his narratives. The artist states the subject of his art stems from the social climate of his youth: &quot;You can't be born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1955 and grow up in South Central Los Angeles near the Black Panthers headquarters and not feel like you've got some kind of social responsibility ... That determined a lot of where my work was going to go.&quot; To underscore the humanism and social advocacy that underlie Gordon Parks' best work and acknowledge his participation in a tradition of African American artmaking, Marshall will talk about his own work and its sources in the shared legacy--cultural as well as artistic.<br /><br />Marshall lives in Chicago. In 1997, he was awarded a MacArthur &quot;Genius&quot; Fellowship. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago organized a major retrospective on the artist in 2004 that toured nationally prominent museums. He is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York.<br /><br />Location: 210 McKnight Art Center West<br />More more information about the artist or his presentation, call the Ulrich Museum at (316) 978-3664 or e-mail ulrich@wichita.edu.<br />Free and open to the public.<br />Sponsored by: The Ulrich Museum of Art]]>
