    À propos de cette œuvre

    Strips — Gordon Bennett Ao

    I was born December 29, 1960, in Gee’s Bend, Alabama. As a young child living in Gee’s Bend, I grew up on a farm and had to work in the fields. Because of my young age, I was only allowed to carry water to those who were big enough to chop cotton and the other things that we grew in our fields. Our field was located in an area called Carson, although my grandfather had two fields, one in Carson and the other one located in a place called Hotel (some people called it Long Bottom). Hotel was the area where the old cemetery was located. There, my family grew cotton, corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes, just to name a few of our crops.We started our day early because my mother had to make breakfast and lunch so we could carry our lunch with us to the fields. When I got a little older, about eight years old, I also helped with getting the meals prepared, and now I was old enough to chop and pick cotton. This was not an easy job, and I can remember we hardly ever complained. And even if we did, we were only wasting time and energy. In my early teens, cotton started to fade away, and only a few people who were a little more well-off than the rest continued with planting cotton. So we “hired out,” working for those who had a bigger farm. To pick a hundred pounds of cotton a day was really hard for me because I was so small, but I am sure it was no problem for my grandfather, Tank Pettway, because he was a big, tall man. It was not long before cotton completely faded away from Gee’s Bend and another crop of hard work was born—the birth of cucumbers.We started our day early because my mother had to make breakfast and lunch so we could carry our lunch with us to the fields.

It was not long before cotton completely faded away from Gee’s Bend and another crop of hard work was born—the birth of cucumbers.Roman Pettway, the community entrepreneur, introduced Gee’s Bend to a new mode of farming. Cucumbers were the “new cotton,” but thank God, the season for cucumber picking was very short, from late May to the first week in July. We knew when the month of July came it would not be long before we could finally have a summer break. Growing cucumbers lasted for nearly a decade, and many families planted a second crop because this was a quicker and faster way to earn income. My family and others planted their own gardens and grew almost all the vegetables needed to survive the winter months. I learned to can vegetables and to make plum and blackberry jelly and jams. My mother Qunnie Pettway’s first paying job was working at the Freedom Quilting Bee. Her paycheck was not a whole lot, and sometimes she would have to work several weeks before getting any pay. During her absence, my oldest brother and I had to do most of the household chores. We didn’t have a water pump of our own, so we carried water from my aunt Lucy T. Pettway’s house. We also carried water from a natural spring, a spring called Cross Spring. Some of the men in the community tailored the spring into a well by damming it up with barrels; this made it much easier to obtain the water. The water was used to cook and wash our clothes. We also heated our bathwater in the same wash pot we used to wash our clothes. By the time I turned about fifteen, we got running water and paved roads. Now that the roads were paved and we had running water, washing, cleaning, riding the school bus, and walking got a lot better. I can recall that I was about five or six years old when I was first introduced to sewing. At that age we were only allowed to thread the needles for the quilters in my grandmother’s and my mother’s quilting group. The leftover scraps are what we got to sew and piece together, practicing on how to make a real quilt. We never actually made a quilt, because the leftover pieces were so small in size, so I looked for something else more interesting to do than sticking my fingers with a needle. During grade school the bulk of my school clothes were homemade by my mother, Qunnie Pettway; she has always had a passion for sewing. Since quilting and making quilts were such a big part of my grandmother’s, my mother’s, and my aunt’s life, I believe the seed of quiltmaking was planted into my genes. Whenever we would go to either aunt Lucy T. Pettway’s or aunt Ruth Mosely’s houses to play during the summer months, t../..

    Souls Grown Deep

    Exposé à Atlanta, États-Unis

    Un témoignage de résilience : l'âme du Sud américain

    Au cœur d'Atlanta, là où le pouls urbain rencontre la force tranquille des contreforts des Appalaches, se niche un sanctuaire pour des voix qui résonnent depuis longtemps depuis les marges de l'histoire.

    Souls Grown Deep

    est bien plus qu'un simple répertoire d'objets ; c'est un témoignage profond et vivant de l'héritage durable de l'expression artistique afro-américaine. Le nom même du musée, puisé dans l'imagerie évocatrice du poème de Langston Hughes,

    "The Negro Speaks of Rivers"

    , sert de lumière directrice à une institution dédiée à l'idée que la créativité, tout comme un fleuve, possède une capacité infinie et s'approfondissant à porter le poids de l'expérience humaine. Ici, l'art ne demeure pas dans le silence ; il parle de survie, de profondeur spirituelle et d'un patrimoine culturel qui a pu s'épanouir même au sein des paysages les plus rudes de l'adversité.

    La collection est une tapisserie époustouflante de médiums et de significations, ancrée par les légendaires

    quilts de Gee’s Bend

    . Il ne s'agit pas de simples textiles, mais de chefs-d'œuvre improvisés nés du paysage de l'Alabama. Caractérisés par des abstractions géométriques audacieuses et une utilisation vibrante et rythmique de la couleur, ces quilts représentent une contribution singulière au canon mondial de l'art moderne. Se tenir devant eux, c'est être témoin d'un langage visuel narratif, où chaque point et chaque morceau de tissu reflète l'ingéniosité et l'esprit communautaire des femmes qui les ont confectionnés. Parallèlement à ces merveilles textiles, le musée propose un dialogue puissant à travers

    l'art de l'assemblage

    . Les sculptures de titans tels que

    Thornton Dial

    et

    Lonnie Holley

    imposent leur présence, utilisant des matériaux détournés et des objets trouvés pour construire des récits monumentaux. Ces œuvres affrontent les thèmes de la pauvreté, de la justice et de la persévérance, transformant le rebut en divin, et forçant une confrontation avec les complexités sociales du Sud américain.

    L'architecture de Souls Grown Deep est une extension intentionnelle de sa mission curatoriale. Conçu pour s'harmoniser avec son environnement, le bâtiment utilise la lumière naturelle et des matériaux organiques pour créer un sentiment de transparence et de connexion entre le spectateur et l'art. Ce choix de conception délibéré reflète l'essence même des artistes qu'il célèbre — des individus qui puisent leur inspiration dans la terre, la communauté et les traditions ancestrales qui les entourent. L'atmosphère du musée est empreinte de révérence et de découverte, là où les frontières entre l'histoire de l'art formelle et la tradition populaire se dissolvent, permettant une compréhension plus holistique de la créativité américaine.

    Ce qui distingue véritablement cette institution, c'est son engagement indéfectible envers

    l'artiste autodidacte

    . À une époque où les institutions artistiques privilégient souvent le pedigree académique, Souls Grown Deep se fait le champion de ceux qui ont tracé leur propre chemin en dehors des limites de la formation formelle. En élevant les sculptures sur bois, les constructions mixtes et les peintures sur des surfaces non conventionnelles, le musée garantit que les visions singulières de ces maîtres soient reconnues comme des composantes vitales de notre identité culturelle partagée. Pour le collectionneur en quête de profondeur, le designer à la recherche d'âme ou l'amateur d'art aspirant à l'authenticité, Souls Grown Deep offre une rencontre avec un art qui n'est pas seulement esthétiquement plaisant, mais profondément transformateur — un rappel que même dans les circonstances les plus difficiles, l'esprit humain continue de s'enraciner et de croître, comme les fleuves.
