Coming this March at Temple Libraries.
Join us this spring for Temple Libraries’ Beyond the Page public programming series.
Upcoming programs include:
| • |  Hank Willis Thomas, photo by Andrea Blanch An Artist Talk with Hank Willis Thomas Hank Willis Thomas is an internationally renowned artist with works in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has held residencies and fellowships in the Tribeca Film Institute, Johns Hopkins University and the W.E.B. DuBois Research Institute at Harvard University. His project Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America (2005–2008) is a series of images appropriated from magazine advertisements marketed toward African-American audiences or that use black subjects. He has digitally removed text and logos, “unbranding” these images to expose the ways advertising reinforces generalizations around race, gender and culture. His 2011 follow-up, Branded, employs the language of advertising to explicitly address race, class and history. Willis’ work in progress, Rebranded, deals with a new set of images that compare contemporary ads with strikingly similar examples from the past. This program is cosponsored by Temple Libraries, the Painting, Drawing & Sculpture Department at the Tyler School of Art and the Department of Graphic Arts and Design and the Photography Program at the Tyler School of Art. |
