Our Gallery Program will include: Morton Fine Art | Washington D.C. Hearne Fine Art | Littel Rock, Arkansas Richard Beavers Gallery | Brooklyn, NY Espace D'art Contemporain 14n61w | Martinique N'Namdi Contemporary | Miami, FL September Gray | Atlanta, GA Tila Studios | Atlanta, GA Zucot Gallery | Atlanta, GA Love in the Time of Hysteria illustrates how love, compassion, and respect endure in a social milieu riddled with divisive political rhetoric, unprovoked inflammatory attacks on members of marginalized communities, and broad societal malaise as a result of economic inequity. Love in the Time of Hysteria questions how these factors can alter and transform our natural disposition to love fully and replace love with a mindset motivated by fear, intolerance, and scarcity. Love not only impacts our interpersonal relationships but also provides the foundation for flourishing communities. Love, when deployed aptly, lives in the narratives we pass on to our children, soars in the untold and reclaimed histories of our ancestors and builds bridges of understanding between estranged communities. How are we perceiving love? How do we express love under these circumstances? How do we improvise when we do not get the love we need?  How do we love ourselves with sweet defiance? Do we deny ourselves love as a byproduct of social conditioning? What movements do we create to build a sense of community that is rooted in love?

  • Another one of our favorites by @sheenaroseartist Are You Serious? Acrylic on Canvas 20 inches x  24 inches 2018 Sheena’s art practice questions and shares her personal experiences of being a black Caribbean woman from Barbados. "I examine everyday situations, pop culture, stereotypes, history, and urban spaces in my work. I work in many different media such as drawing, animation, paintings, performance, video and photography." Sheena’s artwork is influenced by her studies in the United States, and travels to South Africa, Suriname, North America, Belgium, and the Caribbean. “I incorporate urban street life and overheard conversations into my art work. In my animated drawings, I fuse various places I’ve visited and show my experiences and interpretation of these countries.  One of the primary questions in my work is what is the pop culture of Barbados? My answer is a body of work called “Sweet Gossip” which includes paintings, live performances and photography, and was shown on social networking sites where gossip is typically shared.” Social media is also a powerful space for the dissemination of Sheena’s work, utilized a medium within which to explore the transformation of her work through dialogue with the public. The body of work generated from her interest in the idea of private experiences shared publicly is called “Black Obeah”.

  • "Girl Walk" (from the series the water between us remembers) Digital Photo, 20”x30“, 2016 Deborah Jack, (1970, Netherlands/ St. Martin) is an visual artist whose work is based in video/sound installation, photography, painting and text. Her current work deals with the nature of memorials, landscape and the environment. As a multi-media artist she engages a variety of visual and aural strategies for mining sites of cultural memory/present. The resonance of traumatic historical events in nature is at the core of her work. She is intrigued by concept of re-memory, memory as a trigger and as a means for exploring the dismembering of the histories, cultures, traditions, families, and personal memories.  Her work seeks to articulate an historical and cultural injury. She is interested in seducing the eye with scenic aspects of landscape and the potential for the betrayal that can come from closer examination of these seemingly “innocent” and “untouched” places/bodies. See her work now at PAMM in "The Other Side of Now" curated by Maria Elena Ortiz and Dr. Marsha Pearce #contemporaryart #fineart #caribbean
  • "The water understands civilization well" 2016, Cyanotype on watercolor paper, 66 x 90 inches One of our fav works by Andrea Chung. Andrea explores themes of labor and materials and their relationships with post-colonial countries. Chung is interested in the imbued histories materials carry and how they carry stories of human transmission and the effects of colonialism on ‘post-colonial’ societies such as the Caribbean. #contemporaryart #fineart #mixedmedia #cyanotype #caribbean
  • We’re looking forward to “The Other Side of Now: Foresight in Contemporary Caribbean Art,” an exhibition exploring what a Caribbean future might look like curated by PAMM Associate Curator María Elena Ortiz. @prizmartfair had the pleasure of hosting @contemporarychica during #prizmpanels in 2017. ”The Other Side of Now: Foresight in Contemporary Caribbean Art” opens tomorrow July 18th.
