Talk:Steffani Jemison

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because although it did originally have texts directly copied and pasted from her website because I was in the middle of making it. I am new to Wikipedia and did that by accident. Now it has no plagiarized text so it should be able to stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scrub313 (talk • contribs) 14:53, March 5, 2016‎ (UTC)

FOUND...

 * Wall Street Journal (article) -- EXCERPT: On the time-based-art side of things, “Personal,” a 2014 video by Steffani Jemison (b. 1981), adroitly and to some faint social meaning mixes shots of people on a plaza and on a paved athletic field. Sometimes the people in her work—which refers obliquely to early-20th-century films—move normally forward, sometimes they deliberately move backward, but sometimes it’s just the video itself running in reverse. Simple but, as they say, effective.


 * NY Times (article) -- EXCERPT: Now, with “The Intuitionists,” the viewing program is coming to an end. Organized by the artists Heather Hart, Steffani Jemison and Jina Valentine — acting as curators — “The Intuitionists” presents a bewildering array of works by nearly 70 artists. The organizers picked its contents by a conceptually convoluted method. First they selected phrases from one paragraph in “The Intuitionists,” a novel by Colson Whitehead. These were then associated with words by which artists defined their works in the center’s online database, terms like “spiritual,” “conceptual” and “fantasy.” Then, by some computer algorithm, the artists were selected, and they were invited to create new pieces related to one of Mr. Whitehead’s phrases.


 * The Guardian (article) -- Interview with Jemison.


 * RISD Museum (official website) -- Interview with Jemison.


 * The Poetry Project (official website) -- Short biography containing a significant number of data items which I have turned into additional search terms:

NOTE: The Poetry Project is a highly respected institution established in 1966. The data published on their website is presumably very reliable as falsification would reflect poorly on the institution's reputation.


 * International Studio & Curatorial Program (official website) -- Another short bio, this one by the respected ISCP institution. Contains a brief description and analysis of Jemison's body of work.
