    MULTIPLICITY: Blackness In Contemporary American Collage
    The Phillips Collection
    1600 21st Street NW
    Washington, DC

    July 6, 2024 - September 22, 2024

    The first major museum exhibition devoted to the subject, Multiplicity presents over 80 major collage and collage-informed works that reflect the breadth and complexity of Black identity. Featuring an intergenerational group of 52 living artists, Multiplicity explores the varying ways collage is employed and how the technique suggests diverse conceptual concerns such as cultural hybridity, notions of beauty, gender fluidity, and historical memory. By assembling pieces of paper, photographs, fabric, and salvaged or repurposed materials, these artists create unified compositions that express the endless possibilities of Black-constructed narratives despite our fragmented society.

  • HOW DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOURSELF

    HOW DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOURSELF

    Galleria Anna Marra proudly announces the unveiling of "How Do You Want to See Yourself," a groundbreaking group exhibition curated by the esteemed Ghanaian-American curator Larry Ossei-Mensah. Set to captivate audiences from April 10th, 2024, to July 30th, 2024, this exhibition marks Ossei-Mensah's third curated exhibition with Galleria Anna Marra, promising an immersive exploration of the global Black experience.


    I can change through exchange with others without losing or diluting my sense of self.
    -Edouard Glissant


    At the heart of "How Do You Want to See Yourself" lies a profound meditation on the intricacies that define the Black journey worldwide. Through a diverse array of artistic mediums, including painting, collage and photography, the featured lineup of Adegboyega Adesina, Kwesi Botchway, Cydne Jasmin Coleby, M. Florine Démosthène, Jerrell Gibbs, Jammie Holmes, YoYo Lander, Stephen Langa, Joiri Minaya, and Lauren Pearce offers poignant reflections on self-perception in a society often inclined to negate Black humanity and visibility. Drawing upon Du Bois' "double consciousness" concept, the artists courageously confront the narratives of marginalization, contending with the complexity of opacity to embrace the richness and depth of the Black experience. Their works challenge preconceived notions, affirming the autonomy and complexity of Black identity.


    Even when I’m fighting for my identity, I consider my identity not as the only possible identity in the world.
    -Edouard Glissant


    "How Do You Want to See Yourself" transcends geographical boundaries, inviting viewers to engage with a multiplicity of perspectives from Latinx, Caribbean, African American, and African artists working on the continent. Against the backdrop of Rome, Italy, this exhibition serves as a powerful catalyst for dialogue, prompting critical reflection on the dynamics of representation and visibility.


    Through an innovative blend of inquiry and assertion, the exhibition invites audiences to contemplate the transformative potential of authentic representation. By embracing fluidity and drawing on diasporic histories, "How Do You Want to See Yourself" charts new territories in cultural expression, offering a platform for inclusive discourse and collective empowerment. "We are thrilled to present 'How Do You Want to See Yourself,' a testament to the resilience and dynamism of the Black diaspora," says curator Larry Ossei- Mensah. "This exhibition is not only a celebration of identity but also a call to action, challenging us to reimagine the possibilities of representation in today's global landscape."


    As Italy's cultural epicenter, Rome provides an evocative backdrop for this seminal exhibition, inviting audiences to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and cultural exchange.

  • MASTERING THE DREAM

    MASTERING THE DREAM

    I’ve been diligently working towards a solo exhibition at SCAD Museum of Art, that opens on August 16th. Here’s the info:

    Mastering the Dream
    August 16, 2023 – January 8, 2024
    SCAD Museum of Art
    601 Turner Blvd, Savannah, GA 31401

    M. Florine Démosthène presents a newly created body of work that continues her exploration of enigmatic human forms in collage, and new experiments in sculpture. Démosthène’s practice centers the Black female body in abstractions that deal with themes of human transformation and collective experience.

    The artist’s silhouetted figures are created with translucent applications of paint, ink and glitter on mylar, which are then cut and reassembled, creating Collaged bodies on translucent backgrounds. The resulting forms are swirling, celestial beings that transcend immediate readings of identity, offering otherworldly readings of Démosthène’s work.

    The artist demonstrates recent spiritual influences in her sculptural work, after a period of living and working in Ghana. These sculptures reference shrines of the Fon people of Benin and Ewe people of Ghana in a blending of these aesthetic traditions with the cutting-edge technology of 3D printing.

The work emerges from the artist’s contemplation of conversations she has had while living and working in Ghana.

    LA VIE EN ROSE

    Celebrating 10 years of excellence!
    La Vie en Rose, at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery Chicago. The exhibition will be up through March 19, 2022.

    The thematic exhibition is an invitation to celebrate the 10th anniversary, a gesture toward the difficulties of such an achievement. The title an homage to the song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, an anthem of love, "La Vie en Rose" ("Life in pink"'), alluding to seeing life through rose-colored glasses, to living life with an outlook of positivity, focusing on the beauty of every day. Ibrahim is pleased to announce La Vie en Rose, a group exhibition on behalf of the 10-year anniversary, made possible with the contribution of all of the artists.

    “In our 10th year, I envisioned flowers to present a resistance and a reclamation of beauty and joy in this new departure. They symbolize the purity and passion, the flowers from the artists are an offering, an antidote, a hopeful reminder of the fragility of life. The result is breathtaking, a collection of flower arrangements reflecting the artists own signatures.” - Mariane Ibrahim

  • BEYOND THE LOOKING GLASS

    BEYOND THE LOOKING GLASS

    "How do we connect to our ‘self,’ while disconnecting from stories
    and religions we have been taught? — Florine Démosthène

    (BEVERLY HILLS — June 9, 2021) — UTA Artist Space is pleased to present Beyond the Looking Glass, a group exhibition of surrealist takes by women about women. Beyond the Looking Glass is curated by gallery director Zuzanna Ciolek, one of the first members of the UTA Fine Arts team when it was established in 2015.

    The ambitious exhibition fills all three gallery spaces with bold works by a cross generational group of fourteen woman-identifying artists: Firelei Báez, Tawny Chatmon, Charlotte Colbert, Kim Dacres, Florine Démosthène, Genevieve Gaignard, Sanam Khatibi, Klara Kristalova, Shannon T. Lewis, Jesse Mockrin, GaHee Park, Hiba Schahbaz, Kiki Smith, and Jessica Stoller.


    Beyond the Looking Glass presents a new lens for representation through surreal and uncanny artworks that address sexuality, race, and identity— radically defying solely ornamental representation. Taking inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, the title Beyond the Looking Glass is a twist on Through the Looking Glass, moving beyond a world where women are being seen as purely ornamental. The exhibition pulls viewers into an unexpected world filled with surrealist characters such as an elephant girl, a pink “C-section” vessel equipped with breasts, and a woman riding a reptile. While disrupting traditional portraiture of the Western Canon and confronting stereotypical representations of women, the figures portrayed transcend these societal constraints. With these archaic indicators of femininity stripped away, the surreal and expressionist imagery allows her to break out, expanding beyond the body.

    ILLUMINATION ON ARCHER AHHA MUSEUM TULSA OKLAHOMA


    “There are a number of differing opinions among historians and non-historians regarding the actual number of people killed during the riot. These range from 36 to more than 300. The truth is no one actually knows. This issue is aggravated by the semantic difference between “died in the riot” and “died as a result of the riot.” (Tulsa Race Riot Commission)

    The goal of this collaborative project is to honor and literally “put a name” to those who loss their lives as a result of the massacre. Each name has been digitally designed in a script font, and laser cut out of a thin magnetic sheet. The surface
    of the names has been painted with an industrial grade glow-in-the-dark paint; During the day, the names will absorb sunlight that will allow them to glow in the evening.

    WACHTMEISTER AWARD WINNER 2021

    M. Florine Démosthène has won the this years’ Wachtmeister Award presented biannually by the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA). The prize acknowledges “the vital role of the arts in our world, the importance of artists who exemplify excellence in their field, and the necessity of time and space for the creative phase of all artistic work.”

    As the 2021 Wachtmeister Award winner, Démosthène will receive a $1,000 honorarium and a month-long residency at Mt. San Angelo, home to VCCA’s artist residency program in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

    In residence at VCCA, Démosthène will have uninterrupted time and space to focus on her creative work. One project she hopes to pursue is an immersive installation that will incorporate elements of her drawings and paintings. “For this series, I will take on the persona of a warrior heroine whose special powers reside in her ability to harness the cataclysmic energy of her derrière,” writes Démosthène. “The goal of this project is to investigate cultural appropriation through the unveiling of transformative feminine power.”

    Mariane Ibrahim is pleased to announce Florine Démosthène’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Between Possibility and Actuality. On view from November 2 - December 21, 2019, the show celebrates the second presentation at the gallery’s Chicago space. Démosthène lures you into a phantasmagoric sphere with her sparkly surfaces and her amphibious marble-like figures adorned with aquatic accents.

    Démosthène’s art is comprehensively performative, emphasizing flesh and form among an evanescent backdrop. The use of mylar, inherent to her former architectural training, enhance the lack of permanence in the background suggesting the figures are floating and translucent. Between reverie and reality, dream and nightmare, possibility and actuality, Démosthène plunges the viewer into her intertwined almost science-fiction dimension.

  • NYC ARMORY

    NYC ARMORY

    We are very thrilled to share our upcoming solo booth dedicated to Haitian-American female artist, Florine Démosthène. This is our fourth participation The Armory Show and we continue to dedicate our platform to exceptional female artists. Using non-traditional materials like glitter and mylar, her work evoke a strong animated struggle, a fight over existing power. The superpositions of her alter-egos, reflect the resilience of the pre-fabricated codes of aesthetics dictated by a set of behaviors. One cannot escape the commodification and fetishization of the black body. The artist is exposing a new physical paradigm, using gender and social attributes to escape determinism. She states “I feel my work is more about femininity and sensuality and what it means to be a woman, within the body you reside (which is heavily coded with race, size, skin color, etc.)”. Her subjects excavate new diasporic mythologies and ancient heroine figures while reconstructing Black female heroine personas.

    South Bay Contemporary Gallery in conjunction with Michael Stearns Studio 347 presents a co-located multi-media exhibition Diasporagasm. Diasporagasm is curated by Beyoncenista – artist April Bey’s alter ego – and acts as a performance bringing together melanated artists working in Los Angeles, Haiti, Ghana, the Caribbean and West Africa.

    Drawing from the groundbreaking film Moonlight—a timeless story of human connection and self-discovery, the curator appropriates, amends and recontextualizes the juxtaposition of art race and gender.

    The works in this exhibition will be from 15 artists who identify as black, but the work itself will not be “black art”. Rather conversations about what it means through individualism to be black, geographic differentiations in culture.

  • MARTINIQUE BIENNALE NOV 22-JAN 15

    We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 1st edition of the International Contemporary Arts Biennale in Martinique (also known as BIAC MARTINIQUE). The exhibition will be held in Morne-Rouge (Martinique) from November 22nd, 2013 to January 15th 2014. The exhibition takes writer Aimé Césaire legacy of Negritude as inspiration for examining way cultural identity is reconceived within post-colonial paradigm. This exhibition will showcase thirty artists from the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and North America.

    Organized by Tumelo Mosaka (Curator of Contemporary Art at the Krannert Art Museum), University of Illinois, this exhibition focuses on the various ways artists from around the world respond to issues about identity particularly those defined by race and ethnicity. This question of identity has pervaded nearly every aspect of contemporary life raising issues too complex to be easily resolved. More specifically, the exhibition challenges some of the basic assumptions that are deeply ingrained in our social fabric about personal and public identities. These identities on the one hand are discovered and claimed, and on the other, are fluid and changing. They are specific to place and time, yet also evolving and transforming.

  • FEATURE IN CULTURAL HALL

    "Florine Demosthene is a Haitian-born artist currently based in New York City whose work explores stereotypes and representation of the black female body. Her provocative series of mixed media drawings, The Capture, portrays a voluptuous black heroine in surreal vignettes that appear like sexually charged dreams. This mythic figure is mostly naked in each scene with powerful thighs, sagging breasts, and protruding stomach — the very antithesis of the ideal female form in Western culture. Demosthene boldly reveals her subject's inner world and erotic experiences amidst a landscape of decay and destruction. In interviews with the artist, she discusses how observing women on a trip to Africa, as well as reading Gulliver's Travels, inspired the creation of more than forty-five of these pieces. Through vibrant washes, emotive streaks of charcoal, and nuanced narratives, The Capture weaves its own epic tale of degradation, empowerment, and self-discovery."
