Item 12-inch Messages: A Brief History of African-American Spoken Word Vinyl Records(2017-08) Chambers, Eddie; Doroba, Mark (photographer)On exhibit on the third floor of the library, the FAL is happy to present "12-inch Messages: A Brief History of African-American Spoken Word Vinyl Records". The exhibit is curated by Professor Eddie Chambers of UT's Department of Art and Art History. The 1960s and 1970s were the heyday of African- American spoken word vinyl records. Sometimes these records were privately produced, by activists or entrepreneurs; at other times, major companies and corporations such as Motown Records produced spoken word records through subsidiary labels such as Black Forum. Sometimes these records were recordings of sermons, speeches, rallies or poetry; at other times, with the emphasis on civil rights struggles and/or Black History, they were made for the classroom, and juvenile audiences. Over a period of over two decades, many different records were made, including ones of speeches by celebrated figures such as the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Eldridge Cleaver, and Stokely Carmichael. This display brings together a selection of these records, some of which have sleeves every bit as striking as the voices and sentiments of the records themselves.

The performance and installation of African art was presented by Issa Nyaphaga and UT Art History professor Moyo Okediji. Alafia – which means “health” in Yoruba – focused on health matters (art and healing go hand-in-hand in African and African diasporic arts), in particular the scourge of epidemic and pandemic ailments such as AIDS, swine flu, tuberculosis and Ebola. A procession of masks was to start from the “Igbale” (or shrine) at the Warfield Center for African and African American Studies and lead to the Fine Arts Library, where the grand performance and installation took place. Although the procession did not take place due to rain, the masks were on display on the third floor of the FAL through December 8. Photos by Travis Willman.

The bulk of the collection was formed in 2004, consisting of cultural collections transferred from the Texas Memorial Museum (TMM), currently part of the Texas Natural Science Center (TNSC). The initial transfers from the TMM included largely pre-Columbian and ethnographic collections pertaining to Central and South America. Subsequent acquisitions expanded the scope to include objects from Central Africa and the North American Southwest. The transfers continued through 2008, bringing the current department holdings to nearly four thousand artifacts. The Art and Art History department acquisitions were supplemented in 2005 by a generous donation of sixty-five objects from Duncan and Elizabeth Boeckman of Dallas, Texas. The Boeckman collection represents cultures from Central and South America, predominantly ceramic figurines from Nayarit, Jalisco, and Colima cultures of West Mexico. The artifacts complement well the pre-Columbian acquisitions and further enrich the strong Americas focus of the department collection. The most substantial holdings of the AAHC are the ancient ceramic, stone, and textile artifacts created by various pre-Columbian societies. From South America, the collection includes numerous ritual ceramics and exceptionally fine textiles, pertaining to the Nasca, Moche, Chimú, Lambayeque (Sicán), and Chancay cultures. From Central America, the AAHC boasts a rich variety of ceramic vessels, modeled figurines, bone and stone sculptures created by the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Colima, Nayarit, Zapotec, and Veracruz cultural traditions. The holdings further comprise tripod vessels and bowls from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Bolivia, and Ecuador. In addition to the pre-Columbian objects, the AAHC has a distinguished group of over 700 historic and ethnographic textiles from Mexico, Guatemala, and the U.S. Southwest. These include numerous colorful huipiles (womens’ shirts) from Guatemala and mantas (shawls) from Zinacantan, Oaxaca, and the Huichol regions, collected largely from the 1960s through 1970s. The collection also hosts over sixty Navajo and Hopi textiles that date from the 19th to early 20th centuries. There are a limited number of African artifacts within the department collection. The objects largely derive from West Africa, such as a divination tray from the Yoruba. There are also wooden sculptures and masks from the Dogon, the Senufo and Mali regions. Representing over two thousand years of ritual and artistic practices, the collection supports a broad range Representing over two thousand years of ritual and artistic practices, the collection supports a broad range of academic interests for individual research and course instruction. Highly select and representative examples of the collection are on permanent display in the Fine Arts Library, including pre-Columbian ceramics, stone sculptures, and textiles, as well as the African wooden sculptures. Portions of the collection have further been exhibited in the Mexic-Arte Museum, the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art, the UT Visual Arts Center, and the College of Fine Arts Deans office. Finally, the collection is being digitally catalogued for greater accessibility. Through exhibition, teaching and research, the AAHC thus serves as a substantial resource for university students and the greater scholarly community.Item Art Annual Report and Statement of Need 1988(1988) Cable, CaroleItem Art History: Selections From the Green-Christian Collections(2014-01) Ragbir, Lise; Doroba, Mark (photographer)“Art History: Selections from the Green-Christian Collection” Concurrent with the UTVAC's exhibit of "Art History: Selections from the Green-Christian Collection", the FAL is showing from January 31-March 8, 2014 examples of African-American and African Diaspora art practice from the mid-20th century to the present. The work and publications presented in our 3rd floor glass display cases reflect the type of historical narrative arc found in the UTVAC's show. All of the publications are available at the FAL for public use. The selections in the UTVAC's show are part of a collection owned by Rudy Green and Joyce Christian. This is the second exhibition of work related to the Green-Christian Collection here at the the FAL. A previous exhibition at the FAL ran concurrently with “Five Decades of Haitian Painting: Selections from the Green-Christian Collection” highlighting Haitian art that was on view from September through December, 2013, at the ISESE Gallery in the John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
