"Transatlantic Dialogue: Contemporary Art In and Out of Africa"
2000-12-05 until 2001-01-28
Tampa Museum of Art
Tampa, FL, USA United States of America

This exhibition offers the unique opportunity to discover an exciting cultural dialogue at the crossroads where the influences of Western and African art traditions intersect. Despite the diversity of media, technique, and form, these African and African America artworks and the artist who created them are united by a rich network of connections, exchanges, and associations.

Included are the works of seven African artists: Skunder Boghossian, Sokari Douglas Camp, Rashid Diab, Amir Nour, Moyo Ogundipe, Moyo Okediji, and Outtara—and seven African American artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Biggers, Jeff Donaldson, Yvonne Edwards-Tucker, Winnie Owens-Hart, Charles Searles, and Al Smith. Paintings, mixed media, sculpture, and ceramics reflect issues of identity while expressing beauty, pulsating rhythms, and a sense of improvisation among bursts of color and quieter, more contemplative moments.
