We are so excited to host such an incredible group of brilliant scholars and artists! #SpatialIntimacies #TeamTextures
Intersection between large detention centers and prisons? @NicoleFleetwoo2 Nothing new about prison art, but there is a difference in scale. History of captivity is a history of people making art to imagine freedom #SpatialIntimacies
How do the everyday pieces of art that are distributed by incarcerated people figure into the work? That’s how the project began. Looking at her cousin Allan’s handmade cards. Incredibly personal. Challenging the aesthetic license #SpatialIntimacies
State profits off of the images that incarcerated people take with their families. Doesn’t show up on the books, budget. Only time when they can move in the same direction, walking to the studio. Only time touch is not regulated as harshly #SpatialIntimacies
Question about scarcity; are restrictions part of the penal matter?: Anything they can acquire for the service of art-making. Aesthetics tied to mobility, value, freedom even in spaces of captivity and immobility. Rethinking what is aesthetics and what is value #SpatialIntimacies
One example is Russell Craig who continues to produce art since being released from prison #SpatialIntimacies
Raymond Towler spent 27 years in prison despite his innocence. Studied art (Dali and others). “I painted my way to freedom.” Sold his paintings to build his defense fund. Traumatized by the smell, sense of paint. Makes him feel like he’s going to prison again #SpatialIntimacies
Three concepts frame @NicoleFleetwoo2's work in her new book, Marking Time: Prison Art and Public Culture: Penal space, penal time, penal matter #SpatialIntimacies
@NicoleFleetwoo2: Shares images of family members in prison. Tracking relationship with family through PIC #SpatialIntimacies
@NicoleFleetwoo2: So much of the experience of black people is through punitive governance that go beyond the prison and within the prison that impacts our approach to intimacy #SpatialIntimacies
