Artist and activist Carrie Mae Weems, whose work is currently included in the
African American Art exhibit at Flomenhaft Gallery, will be discussing her her
belief in artists' social responsibility and her recent activist work, including social reform efforts and public art projects in her hometown of Syracuse, N.Y.


"The responsibility of an artist is to "to make art, beautiful and powerful, that adds and reveals; to beautify the mess of a messy world, to heal the sick and feed the helpless; to shout bravely from the roof-tops and storm barricaded doors and voice the specifics of our historic moment."

    In light of the fact that Carrie Mae Weems had major exhibits at the Guggenheim Museum and also at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Flomenhaft Gallery is exceedingly proud to offer several of her photos that are no longer available except here.  They are from the “Black” series  (borrowed from us by the Tate Museum in England) and her  “Sea Island Series.”

Today, “Carrie Mae Weems is an imposing figure on the artistic landscape. Through documentary photographs, conceptual installations, and videos, she is known for raising difficult questions about the American experience. When the MacArthur Foundation awarded her a 2013 ‘genius’ grant, it cited Weems for uniting ‘critical social insight with enduring aesthetic mastery.'"
