Stuart Hall's work on culture, politics, race, and media are familiar to readers throughout the world. Equally important was his decades long commitment to visual art. As the first collection to bring together Hall's work on the visual, this volume assembles more than two dozen of Hall's essays, lectures, reviews, catalog texts, and conversations on art, film, and photography. Providing rare insights into Hall's engagement with the "radically different" intellectual and aesthetic space of the visual imaginary, these works articulate the importance of the visual as a site of contestation at the same time as being a space in which black artists and filmmakers re-frame questions about diaspora, identity, and globalization. Selected Writings on Visual Arts and Culture demonstrates the breadth and range of Hall's thinking on art, film, photography, archives, and museums. In so doing, it enables us to arrive at radical and innovative ways of understanding the world.
Industry Reviews
"This collection corrects the widespread misperception that Stuart Hall's late-career art writings were a mere add-on to the heavy lifting accomplished by his 1970s work on Marxism and sociology. Gilane Tawadros's panoramic selection reveals how extensively Hall turned his attention to art, photography, film, museums, and architecture to examine questions of diaspora, identity, and globalization. This volume is of enormous significance." -- Kobena Mercer, author of * Travel & See: Black Diaspora Art Practices since the 1980s *
"Stuart Hall's writings on visual arts and culture try to imagine what a genuinely emancipatory cultural practice would be like. How to think structures of feeling and imagination and dissolve the categories of race, representation, gender, and identity, categories that Hall did more than anyone both to advance and to problematize. Hall's voice and image thread through several of my films and artworks. His focus on the distinctive voice of the Caribbean artist, his insistence on the fluidity of the diasporic imagination, were foundational for artists of my generation. Indeed, it is impossible to really think and experience Black British art without the keystones which this collection of writings presents." -- Isaac Julien
