In Radical Virtuosity, art historian Genevieve Hyacinthe offers a new view of Mendieta, connecting her innovative artwork to the art, cultural aesthetics and concerns, feminisms, and sociopolitical messages of the black Atlantic. Mendieta left Cuba as a preteen, fleeing the Castro regime, and spent years in U.S. foster care. Her sense of exile, Hyacinthe argues, colors her work. Hyacinthe examines the development of Mendieta's performative artworks-particularly the Silueta series (1973-1985), which documented the silhouette of her body in the earth over time (a series "without end," Mendieta said)-and argues that these works were shaped by Mendieta's appropriation and reimagining of Afro-Cuban ritual. Mendieta's effort to create works that invited audience participation, Hyacinthe says, signals her interest in forging connections with the marginalized, particularly those of the black Atlantic and Global South. Hyacinthe describes the "counter entropy" of Mendieta's small-scale earthworks (contrasting them with more massive works created by Robert Smithson and other male artists); considers the resonance of Mendieta's work with the contemporary practices of black Atlantic female artists including Wangechi Mutu, Renee Green, and Damali Abrams; and connects Mendieta's artistic and political expressions to black Atlantic feminisms of such popular artists as Princess Nokia. 600 10 $a Mendieta, Ana, $d 1948-1985 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Mendieta, Ana, $d 1948-1985. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00232666 650 0 $a Performance art $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a African diaspora in art. 650 0 $a Cultural fusion and the arts. 650 7 $a African diaspora in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902318 650 7 $a Cultural fusion and the arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715749 650 7 $a Performance art $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057857 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022426.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204011427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CBDD466E166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
