Ancient Traditions – Contemporary Forms

The Embassy of Ghana has agreed to host Ancient Traditions – Contemporary Forms an exhibition which explores the innate similarities in the traditions of Ghanaian and African-American cultures expressed through paintings, sculptures and masks by contemporary Ghanaian and African-American artists.

The concept of the exhibition is based on the theory of atavistic memory defined as: relating to or displaying the recurrence of cultural or genetic features that has been absent for several generations. The ancient traditions of Ghana have been absent from the African-American experience, and yet they are reflected in their work. This exhibition will compare the expressions of these traditions by Ghanaian painters and sculptors and the innate similarities found in the artistic interpretation of African-American artists.

A catalogue will be created to serve as a historic document to the exhibition. It will feature the artists’ works, biographies, and comments by art curators, historians and art appraisers.

The exhibition will serve as a platform to:

1. present Ghana’s rich culture and traditions as interpreted through its artist,
2. provide exposure for Ghanaian artists,
3. encourage cultural exchange and awareness for the Ghanaian and African-American artists and the general public,
4. solidify the relationship between Ghanaians and African-Americans as a community.

Myrtis Bedolla, President of Creative Artisans and Dr. Kwaku Ofori-Ansa of Howard University are the exhibition curators. Artists who wish to participate in the event will be asked to provide a biography and samples of their artwork. The artwork will be made available for sell during the exhibition. Once a work of art has been selected for the exhibition the artist will receive an Artist Agreement which details the arrangement between the artist and Creative Artisans.

The event will be held in September 2004. The time and date for the artists’ reception is to be determined.
Artists who wish to participate in the exhibition may submit samples of their work in the following formats:

1. Slides
2. Photographs
3. CD Rom
4. JPG File (via the internet as an email attachment – send to: ZIMSTONE_ART@YAHOO.COM) In the SUBJECT line of the email please state: Ghana Exhibition

Artist must indicate on each item submitted for consideration the:

Medium: type of material the artwork is made of (example: oil on canvas)
Dimensions: size of the artwork
Title: name of the artwork
Subject: information on theme depicted
Price: provide a price range for the artwork

Noah Purifoy, internationally renowned assemblage sculptor, died on March 5 at his home in Joshua Tree, age 86.  A founding member of the California Arts Council, Purifoy was the first director of the Watts Towers Art Center in the early 1960s.   Since 1989, he has continued to create an outdoor art museum of sculptures in the high desert of Joshua Tree for public participation and enjoyment. 

The Noah Purifoy Foundation, established in 1998 to preserve Noah’s work in Joshua Tree, will continue to move forward and ensure his legacy as an artist, mentor, visionary and creative genius.

He is survived by his sisters, Mrs. Ophelia Jeffries, Mrs. Mary Lewis, Mrs. Lucille McDaniel, and Ms. Esther Purifoy, of Cleveland, Ohio.

Attached is a poem Noah wrote in 1966, a poem that is guding us during a time of enormous loss. 

           A BOOK FLOWN

These fragmentations only mean that
I am fragmented;
that as I symbolize what you say and agree
can I then leave you
to set these lines in order,
assemble them into a book
and, by the first strong winds,
permit its leaves to be torn from its cover.
Let them fly high
and, like leaves light
into the lap of the Universe;
separate of and by themselves
within, without, complete, yet incomplete.

Noah Purifoy
"66 Signs of  Neon"
Los Angeles, 1966
