Black Light/White Noise: Light and Sound in Contemporary Art

Foreword by Marti Mayo. Text by Greg Tate, Romi Crawford, Valerie Cassel Oliver.

This 64-page paperback, housed with a DVD in a hardback case, accompanies The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston's Summer 2007 exhibition, Black Light/White Noise, which focuses on black artists who have worked with sound and light--such as Ben Patterson, Tom Lloyd and George Lewis. The continuation and expansion of work in sound and light among a younger generation of African American artists and artists of African descent is also considered here in real depth, with work by Nadine Robinson, Kori Newkirk, Arthur Jafa, Jennie C. Jones, Sanford Biggers, Kira Lynn Harris and Louis Cameron. The innovative design of this hybrid print/digital publication gives readers the opportunity to experience all the works featured in the show alongside a checklist of the exhibition, artist's biographies, a bibliography and essays by curator Valerie Cassel Oliver, Romi Crawford of the Studio Museum of Harlem and writer, composer, musician and playwright Greg Tate.
