Question time! #GrimeGlitterGlass

We are wondering which other artists Greene was thinking about examining in the book. #GrimeGlitterGlass

#GrimeGlitterGlass wrestles with the task of representative blackness in the art world.

The visual culture of black music. #GrimeGlitterGlass

The beauty of the book is in its form, in its artistry. It’s a way of thinking with and through the aesthetics of place and the corporeal. #GrimeGlitterGlass

How does one negotiate the work of art history while also working with living artists who are deeply engaged in the practice of sustaining a legacy? #GrimeGlitterGlass

The cover image (Pullman) by Radcliffe Bailey offers us a way to get into the *heart* of Greene’s way of writing and thinking. #GrimeGlitterGlass

The feeling of moving through the art is fluid and capacious. #GrimeGlitterGlass

And the title! #GrimeGlitterGlass

We should begin by discussing the cover image, no? #GrimeGlitterGlass

We are meeting today to discuss Nikki A. Greene’s Grime, Glitter & Glass: The Body and the Sonic in Contemporary Black Art. #GrimeGlitterGlass

Marcel Duchamp?We now know so much about the way art comes into public spaces via the machinations of others. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

All built on the idea of “a possible good” that comes from the repetition of theft and a refusal of recognition. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

Property, restitution, acknowledgement, redress—all are placed at the fraught intersection of whiteness and property (or “whiteness as property”). And we are still here. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

#ThePoliticsofCollecting explores everything that undergirds the systems of exploitation that we still have with us.

We have decided the subtitle is Everybody Gets Got. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

#ThePoliticsofCollecting moves masterfully among and between distinct discursive arenas of representation. The breadth. The depth. So inspiring.

Kim’s emphasis on property and the arts makes for a fascinating study. It places the emphasis on museum culture and literary production in ways that highligjt the violence of white supremacy in the archive. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

Today’s discussion concerns Eunsong Kim’s The Politics of Collecting: Race and the Aestheticization of Property. #ThePoliticsofCollecting

The flow of movement is central to black diasporic modes of reciprocity and connectivity. #ANimbleArc
