Beschreibungen/Notizen
From a cloud-dotted sky, angel-like figures float and fall toward an underworld populated by auction house announcements, fashion campaigns, idealized white women, and other pop-culture clippings. The artist, who died by suicide while incarcerated, depicted himself with a solemn gaze locked on the viewer, a moment of focused attention under carceral limitations; adjacent was correspondence with his art teacher, Treacy Ziegler, that demonstrated the essentiality of community and the excruciating hardship of carceral isolation. Why, asked Fleetwood in the wall text, has it been fundamentally foresworn in academia and “excluded from established art institutions?” In the searing catalog—a patchwork of personal biography, art historical revisionism, and close readings—Fleetwood addresses these failures as systematic and methodological, expanding the exhibition’s theoretical groundings on the role of prison art collectives, carceral photography, structural isolation, portraiture, and “practices of belonging” (231). [...]Marking Time offers a new starting point for art history.
