Joyce J. Scott

Joyce J. Scott (amezaliwa 15 Novemba 1948) ni msanii, mchongaji wa sanamu, mfumaji, msanii wa utendaji, mtengenezaji wa magazeti, mhadhiri na mwalimu mwenye asili ya Kiafrika-Mmarekani. 

Alipewa majina kama McArthur Fellow mnamo 2016, na Smithsonian Visionary Artist mnamo 2019, Scott anajulikana zaidi kwa sanamu zake za mfano na vito vya mapambo, mbinu za kusuka na kufuma, sawa na peyote kushona. Kila kipande hujengwa kwa kutumia maelfu ya shanga za mbegu za glasi au shanga za GPPony, na wakati mwingine vitu vingine vilivyopatikana au vifaa kama glasi, na ngozi. Mnamo mwaka wa 2018, alipongezwa kwa kufanya kazi katika chombo kipya kwa mchanganyiko wa mchanga, udongo, majani, na saruji kwenye sanamu iliyokuwa inaelekea kusambaratika. Scott anavutiwa na tamaduni anuwai, pamoja na mila ya Marekani, asili za Kiafrika, shanga za Mexiko, Ucheki, na Urusi, vielelezo na vitabu vya kuchekesha, na utamaduni wa pop.

Scott anasifika kwa ufafanuzi wake wa kijamii juu ya maswala kama vile ubaguzi wa rangi, ujamaa, ujinsia, vurugu, maoni potofu, na mada za uponyaji wa kiroho. Kazi yake ni juu ya jinsi Scott anajiona katika ulimwengu unaobadilika haraka: "Kazi hizi zinahusu ukuaji wa kibinafsi, kiroho na jinsi ya kutokwama katika njia rahisi za maisha juu ya sanaa, mimi siogopi katika maisha ya kila siku."

Wasifu 
Joyce Jane Scott alizaliwa huko Baltimore mnamo 1948, akiwa binti wa mfumaji mashuhuri Elizabeth Talford Scott na Charlie Scott Jr. Amejielezea kama "mtoto wa kweli wa Baltimore na msichana wa Sandtown" na ameishi katika nyumba ya jirani katika kitongoji cha Sandtown kwa zaidi ya miongo minne. Mama yake alimtia moyo na kumuhimiza juu ya ubunifu wake na Scott akaanza kuchora katika Shule ya Maonyesho ya Coppin, taasisi ya elimu ya umma, na baadaye akasoma Shule ya Kati ya Lemmel na Shule ya Upili ya Mashariki huko Baltimore. Alihitimu na Shahada ya Sanaa kutoka Chuo cha Sanaa cha Maryland mnamo 1970 kisha akapata Shahada ya Uzamili ya Sanaa kutoka Instituto Allende huko Mexiko. Baadaye, Scott aliendelea na masomo zaidi katika Taasisi ya Teknolojia ya Rochester huko New York na Shule ya Ufundi ya Haystack Mountain huko Maine.

Mama yake mwenyewe alikuwa msanii ambaye alifundisha mbinu za kufuma na kumuhimiza Scott asomee masomo ya sanaa. Moja ya juhudi zake za kwanza za kisanii ilikuwa kushona nguo za wanasesere. Scott pia amevutiwa na mila ya ufundi katika familia yake pana ya "wafumaji, mafundi mbao, wafuma vikapu, maselemala, wapandaji na wahunzi," ambapo watu walikuza ujuzi katika ufundi zaidi ya mmoja ili waweze kuishi. Upendo wake wa muziki na hisia za kina za kiroho ziliimarishwa katika malezi yake katika imani ya Pentekoste na mila yake tajiri katika muziki wa injili. 

Ushawishi wa Kiafrika wa Scott unadhihirishwa katika matumizi yake ya mapambo ya hali ya juu na ya kufafanua. Kwa kutumia mbinu zinazofanana na taji na mavazi ya Kiyoruba ya Afrika Magharibi, yeye hutengeneza shanga kuwa muundo wa sanamu. Kulingana na msomi Leslie King-Hammond, sanaa na mila za Kiafrika zilifanya kazi kubadilisha vitu vya kila siku kuwa mapambo mazuri.

Mazoezi ya Scott ni pamoja na utendaji pamoja na sanamu. Tabia yake ya kukosoa bila kupenda na ya kuchekesha mara nyingi huajiriwa katika maonyesho yake kukosoa maswala kama vile jinsia, na ubaguzi wa rangi. Kama mapambo yake na ufumaji, utendaji wake pia hushughulikia hadithi za hadithi na kumbukumbu.

Kazi za Scott zinashikiliwa na Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Baltimore, Taasisi ya Sanaa ya Detroit, Jumba la Sanaa la Mildred Lane Kemper huko St.Louis, Missouri, Jumba la Sanaa la Mint huko Charlotte, North Carolina, Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Spencer katika Chuo Kikuu cha Kansas, Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Smithsonian la Marekani, na Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa, Houston, Texas.

Maonyesho yaliyoangaziwa

I-con-nobody/I-con-o-graphy 
Iliyofanyika kwenye Jumba la sanaa la Corcoran mnamo 1991, hii ilikuwa maonyesho ya kwanza ya Scott akishiriki kama binafsi. "mandhari hiyo ilimaanisha kusemwa kwa ukweli, aina za moja kwa moja na za mfano. Ikoniografia, alama zinazoelezea picha, na, kwa pamoja, jamii, zilitumiwa na Scott kufunua motisha zilizofichwa nyuma ya mwingiliano wa wanadamu."  Kwenye maonyesho kuliwa na Kazi 29 za uchongaji zenye shanga na kolagi kadhaa kubwa za ukuta wa nyuzi na kitambaa. pia Jumuishwa zenye chaguzi (sehemu iliyoongozwa na hadithi za mama yake na kufanya kazi kama yaya) kutoka kwa safu ya Scott Mammy / Nanny (1986-1991) ambayo alitumia shanga za glasi na ngozi kuunda ubaguzi wa rangi na thamani.

Believe I've Been Sanctified 
Hii ilikuwa kazi ya kwanza ya sanaa ya Scott. Mnamo 1991, alichaguliwa pamoja na wasanii wengine kumi na tisa kushiriki katika mradi mpya wa jiji lote ulioandaliwa na Tamasha la Spoleto USA huko Charleston. Maonyesho hayo yaliitwa "Maeneo yenye Zamani: Sanaa Mpya Maalum ya Tovuti huko Charleston" na kila msanii alialikwa kuchagua tovuti ya nje na kuunda kipande ambacho kilitoa maoni yao ya historia ya jamii ya jiji. Scott alichagua nguzo nne za Korintho ambazo zilikuwa mabaki ya mwisho ya Jumba la kumbukumbu la zamani la Charleston. Aliambiwa na watu katika jamii ya kihistoria ya Kiafrika ya Amerika kwamba "hawakuwa wakitutaka huko hata hivyo" na alipewa moyo. Kutumia vitu vilivyopatikana na kupiga shanga, Scott aligeuza nguzo kuwa mierezi ya kulia kuwakilisha machozi. Chini yao aliunda kitanda cha mazishi kutoka kwa magogo 500 na mtu aliyekufa, au Phoenix, kuwakilisha "mwisho wa utumwa au mwanzo wa enzi mpya, Ujenzi upya."

Images Concealed 
Mnamo 1995 Scott aliitikia Chuo Kikuu cha Yale kwa Jumba la kumbukumbu ya Sanaa ya Afrika Uso wa Mungu: Sanaa na Madhabahu ya Afrika na Waamerekani wa Afrika na ufungaji uliopewa jina la Concealed at the San Francisco Art Institute. Mhifadhi Jean-Edith Weiffenbach alibainisha kuwa Scott, "alipingwa na maonyesho hayo ya maonyesho ya athari za mila za Kiafrika kwa sanaa za Magharibi, mifumo ya imani, na mila ya kijamii ilitengeneza jibu linalotumia mseto wa kisasa wa misamiati ya ufundi kutoka tamaduni kadhaa. katika lugha ya kifumbo ambayo inakabiliana na maoni potofu na pia masuala ya uwakilishi na mtazamo. "

Kickin' it With the Old Masters 
Kickin 'It with the Old Masters ilikuwa maonyesho ya sanaa yaliyofanyika katika Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Baltimore (BMA) mnamo Januari – Mei 2000 kwa kushirikiana na Chuo cha Sanaa cha Maryland (MICA). "Katika mlango wa nafasi ya maonyesho alikuwa ameketi Rodin's Thinker, sanamu ya sanaa ya Magharibi; juu ya kichwa cha sanamu Scott alisimamisha sura yenye shanga iliyoning'inizwa shingoni na minyororo na kufunikwa na sehemu za rangi."  Ujumbe haukutaka kuchochea rangi mashtaka lakini kuanzisha mwingiliano na urembo na ujenzi wa kijamii.

Harriet Tubman and Other Truths 
Maonyesho yake makubwa zaidi hadi leo yalifunguliwa Oktoba 20, 2017, na yalikuwa yanaonekana hadi Aprili 1, 2018 katika Viwanja vya Uchongaji. Maonyesho ya heshima kwa Harriet Tubman, mkoloni ambaye aliwaongoza watu wengi kuwa watumwa wa uhuru, ilikuwa kabla ya kupangwa na mlezi wa wageni Lowery Stokes Sims kwa maonyesho hayo, ambayo yalionekana kama kichocheo cha kubadilisha nafasi ya umma iliyoundwa na J. Seward Johnson, sanamu ya sanamu na uhisani. Maonyesho haya yalikuwa yanasimamiwa na Lowery Stokes Sims na Patterson Sims.

Uwekaji wa sanaa kwa umma

Dimbwi la Ukumbusho 

Scott alipokea tume mnamo 1996 kuunda mradi wa sanaa ya umma kuadhimisha dimbwi la 2 katika Bustimore's Druid Hill Park. Ilijengwa mnamo 1921, ilitumikia kwa mahitaji ya kuogelea ya burudani na ushindani wa zaidi ya Wamarekani 100,000 wa Kiafrika huko Baltimore. Wakati Bodi ya Hifadhi ya Jiji la Baltimore ilikataa kutenga mabwawa yake licha ya kutangazwa sana katika mto uliokuwa karibu mnamo 1953, NAACP iliwasilisha kesi na mwishowe ilishinda kwa rufaa. Mnamo Juni 1956 mabwawa ya Baltimore yalifunguliwa kama vifaa vya kutengwa kwa mara ya kwanza. Bwawa namba 2 lilifunga mwaka uliofuata, likibaki kutelekezwa hadi 1999 wakati ufungaji wa Scott ulibadilisha.

Katika kubuni mnara huu wa kazi, Scott alikusudia kuunda "hali ya sanaa ambapo watu wanaweza kwenda angani na tumaini kuwa, na kuwa na matumizi anuwai." Eneo la bwawa lenyewe lilijazwa na mchanga na kupandwa na nyasi. Kulikuwa na mipango ya kujumuisha programu katika eneo lenye nyasi, kwamba watu wangetaka kukaa, kutembea au kupumzika tu karibu na nafasi. Kwa kuongezea vifaa vya usanifu na muundo wa majini, usanikishaji wa asili ulijumuisha michoro ya rangi, ya rangi kwenye lami karibu na dimbwi ambalo limepotea kutoka kwenye uso wa saruji na kutoweka kwa sababu ya wakati na hali ya hewa.
