If you think coloring books are a low brow form of art strictly for kids, think again. RxArt's third annual Between the Lines coloring book (which includes contributions by Nick Cave, Trenton Hancock Doyle, David Hammons, Wangechi Mutu, Adrian Piper, and Carrie Mae Weems) will leave you in a quandary as to whether or not you should pull out a box of crayons.

CLIP ART: Benny Ninja in Iona Rozeal Brown's "Battle of Yestermore"
Written By UNDER MAINTENANCE on Saturday, December 3, 2011 | 8:40 AM

Clipped from The New Yorker magazine
Publication date: November 21, 2011
From the New York Times:
Kabuki and Noh theater, kung fu, hip-hop, and the ballrooms of [the 1990 documentary film] “Paris Is Burning” converged in the debut of Iona Rozeal Brown’s “Battle of Yestermore.” This Performa Commission, held November 17th and 18th at Skylight Studios, was Ms. Brown’s first foray into live performance (unless you count her activities as a D.J.). It was like her paintings, but better.

ARTICLE BY ADRIENNE SAMUELS GIBBS | PHOTOGRAPH BY DONTE TATUM
One bracelet. No earrings. Hair pulled back. Virtually no makeup. Refined jacket. Flat shoes. Clear desk. One large green leaf in a vase. A treetop view. No blinds.Cultural “It” girl Naomi Beckwith, the newest curator at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), is a study in minimalism. She seems to reserve all the flash and chutzpah for her heady installations, the most recent of which were stationed at the Studio Museum in Harlem. In a profession full of grand egos and lofty concepts, Beckwith’s self-assured-yet-grounded analysis of who’s got next in the world of art is refreshing. She’s from Chicago, moved to London, worked in New York City and finally has returned home. She’s got a lot to share. Listen up.EBONY: Your installations seem to be about exposing the world to artists who happen to be Black, versus exposing the world to Black artists.BECKWITH: Yes and no. There’s no difference between a Black artist and an artist who happens to be Black. I think there is a difference between Black art and art that’s made by a Black person. When you start to make all sorts of presumptions about what the artwork is, based on the fact that the person is Black, I think that’s where you start running into trouble. There’s plenty of art being made about one’s cultural background, whether that be Black or not. But there’s also plenty of art that should be seen, I think, through all sorts of other prisms outside of that sense of biography and culture.EBONY: Why is it important, then, to collect a variety of art?BECKWITH: We all leave this world at some point. Civilizations even go. The structures of the worlds go, but the only things that we really look at in the end are those archeological records—the cultural artifacts. A couple millennia from now, people are going to be interested in the jewelry that people had, and [asking] how we decorated our houses.EBONY: Will collecting this stuff, then, make us rich?BECKWITH: It’s not just about building up literal income, it’s also about acquiring cultural capital, which I think is one of the most important things to have in the world—not that I’m going to disparage money in any sort of way. But the question is, what do you do with that money?

CLIP ART: Incognegro by Mat Johnson
Written By UNDER MAINTENANCE on Monday, July 4, 2011 | 6:44 AM
From Booklist
As a light-skinned African American growing up in a predominantly dark-skinned neighborhood, Johnson was electrified when he learned about the early exploits of Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP, 1931–55. In 1919, White used his own pale skin to pass for a white and investigate lynchings in the deep South. Inspired by White’s experiences, Johnson tells the similar story of Harlem journalist Zane Pinchback, whose own eyewitness reports of lynchings are regularly written up in a New York periodical under the byline Incognegro. Pinchback is on the verge of abandoning his undercover work for an editor’s job when he discovers his own brother is in jail and days away from lynching for apparently murdering a white woman. How Pinchback tracks down the real killer, saves his brother’s life, and narrowly escapes an angry mob form the plot of a riveting meditation on racism and self-reliance. The beautiful chiaroscuro pen-and-ink illustrations provided by veteran artist Pleece bring to vivid life one of the darkest chapters in America’s racial history. --Carl Hays
