Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art by Miranda Lash

Description: Southern Accent by Miranda Lash, Trevor Schoonmaker Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Published on the occasion of the exhibition Southern accent: seeking the American South in contemporary art, co-corganized by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, and Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky. Publisher Description Featuring the work of sixty artists and including 300 illustrations, the catalog Southern Accent accompanies a major contemporary art exhibition that questions and explores the complex and contested space of the American South. This unprecedented exhibition investigates the many realities, fantasies, and myths of the South that have long captured the publics imagination, while presenting a wide range of perspectives that create a composite portrait of southern identity through contemporary art. It looks at the South as an open-ended question and concept in itself by encompassing a broad spectrum of media and approaches, demonstrating that southernness is more of a shared sensibility than any one definable culture or style. While the exhibition includes artwork from the 1950s to the present, it primarily focuses on the past thirty-five years. With numerous contributions by artists, scholars, musicians, and poets, a music-listening library, and a timeline of scholarship on southern art, this catalog redefines the way we look at the South in contemporary art. Southern Accent will be on display at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from September 1, 2016 to January 8, 2017 and at the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, from April 29, 2017, to August 20, 2017.Contributors.
