Conversation: Kameelah Janan Rasheed — Unsewn Time
Artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed and David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Associate Curator of Photography and Media Grace Deveney discuss the exhibition "Unsewn Time."
Kameelah Janan Rasheed (American, born 1985) uses printmaking, photography, painting, and video to explore alternative systems of reading, writing, and learning. For "Unsewn Time," Rasheed worked with mark making, rubbing, folding, chemical reactions, and other material explorations to consider how meaning is conveyed in forms that are created through intimate rituals and improvisational processes. Moving between poetic fragments, annotations, and marks to other modes of storytelling, she considers our relationships to unpredictable change and ruptures in time.
This lecture is made possible by the Frank J. Mooney Memorial Fund.

Love this!
Sorry to be a pedant but you said “the heavy duty porcelain mugs.” You obviously meant “pottery mugs”. Porcelain is the finest, most wonderful, most fragile of the clays.
Thank you for this video. I visited Chicago one weekend about 10 years ago specifically to spend some time at the AIC. I distinctly recall tears coming to my eyes as I stood in front of the Chagall windows, overcome by this wonderful experience. I don't often do that in an art museum.
Su exposición es muy didactica y debería traducirla al español
Very lovely.
This is interesting documentary work. I wish that it gave me more time, and with less chat, to enjoy the windows. They were presented almost as tangential to the story, whatever it was supposed be. The “art world” only alienates me, as a person with no place in it.
I read of Bruce Goff while reaserching Chicago architecture eight years ago and I read the 1949 Life magazine article. While researching historic buildings for a book I’m now writing on the history of Chicago, I went to Aurora and took pictures of the outside of the Ford house. Sid saw me and kindly invited me on a tour of his house. He is an architecture professor. Seeing this house in person is a surreal experience. I’ts like walking through a work of art. Truly amazing. Thank you Sid!
Per International associayion of Human rights, this should be return to MEXICO ASAP.
This peace was stolen from Aztec culture and it needs to be retun to MEXICO. THIS IS THE ESTELA OF THE FIVE SUNS.

Thank you again for such a Thoughtful piece on Mr Sullivan...his Work luves on, though so many pieces were destroyed, shamefully, by Mayor Daley and his Ruthless Cohorts...dgp/uk

Aren’t protective styles such as braids and stitched taping meant to be worn for long periods?
always wanted to see how these were made, the next thing is where and how the Roman's made their body armour
Won't you please come to Chicago... We can change the world! Yet Sullivan died penniless
What is she talking about! 🦜
Imagine Monet would walk through this exhibition. I guess he would LOVE it.
Such a beautiful exhibit! Thank you for posting!
Some of these were in storage when I was there. I probably will never make it back, who really knows, but I hope this is a permanent exhibit. Monet is the man. Btw, while visiting Monet's home a young man was weeding the garden and I asked for one of the weeds. It was an immature goldenrod. I still have it.
Third comment. Thanks!
A fabulous overview. Thank you for creating and sharing this video.
The painting pushes you back to the surface?? There's no sense of depth?! Is she crazy? The depth is what makss this painting so captivating, it draws you in. The everydayness of it?! I can't.
つね桃さん、どんな日本髪でも似合ってしまいますね✨カッコイイ🥺
"You don't think of still-lifes as being vertical." What a silly thing for Ms. Groom to say. Art history is awash in vertically oriented still-lifes. Still, if I lived near Chicago I would often visit this exhibition
Brilliant! Makes me wish I seen the collection in person !!!
I live in Chicago. I'm going next week, lol
Great!
Gloria! What an amazing exhibition. Brava!
A decent enough painter certainly, but arguably overrated and very very bourgeois. An interesting and edifying hour or so nonetheless.
5 star presentation
AWESOME 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The lady who describes Nighthawks...is overtop in her "personal" assessment of what is going on...no door? Pretty easy to know that the door, unseen, would be to the right and the rest of her comments...not good.
🎉🎉🎉
Yes, Manet had many female friends and shared their interests; that is why he died of syphilis at a young age.
beautiful
This is one of the works of Olowe of Ise Ekiti, Ekiti State Nigeria.
7:31 best part
living legend
Ye
What’s his beef with Gerhard?
This is really cool
I have one rebuttal. They wore wigs because of syphilis. The 1800s guys.
You know I admire the amount of work this man has made and left behind. You know what I learned from him he always evolved that's what an artist does you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again unless your trying to perfect it. We're suppose to learn from him. I draw and I want to paint but my mind is evolving what I do now I will not be doing it in a few years I'll probably be painting. There's so many things I want to do but what I learn from manet, don't be afraid to do it even though you fail because this is how you learn and don't be afraid of what other people think because nine times out of ten they can even draw a straight line. Love him
お美しいですね❥何れも浮世絵の髪型の再現ですね❦「かもめたぼ」は主に遊女や、流行に敏感な年頃の娘さんの髪型みたいですね❥「灯籠鬢島田髷」は結婚適齢期に達した娘さんの髪型みたいですね❦「横兵庫」(両兵庫・伊達兵庫)は「おいらん道中」で、おなじみの非常に豪華な髪型で、最上位の遊女の髪型ですね❥

I remember this animation on a spectacular stage resounding Bullet the Blue Sky in the U2' s Popmart World Tour...its a shame the name of the animator remains in secret.
A glimpse into the Edo period. People many years ago were like us now, they wanted to look good and stylish.
Excellent interview from Nehru to Vivekanand to Ashokstambha to Jitesh Kalat , very exhaustive but with full of knowledge👍👌
Museum aren't struggling with Black inclusion and representation, museums still dont give a sh#t and want to retain white/European art supremacy. If that weren't a fact than museums would just put our work (and bodies as key staff) in them. Just freakin do it! There doesn't need to be a vote by the board or approval from benefactors. Just put us in! KJM is an art world griot-god!!! I would be on the floor with my heads supporting my chin and feet in the air like a child listening to the greatest story-hour.
Fabulous little film x Thanks so much
