Interpreting the Black Color and Culture Exhibit has Confirmed Dates...

i>

July 31, 2006 -- The Multimedia Exhibit of The Interpretation of Black of Hanson Brown will be debuting at the Gallery 24 in Berlin, Germany in September, 2006.



's8220;The Interpretation of Black of Hanson Brown, which was a dual media exhibit of Sight and Sound has expended their exhibit to include video and text presentations for their 's8220;Black's8221; debut.



Described as extraordinary exhibit and a true elevation, two artists, one visual and the other sound designer combined their vision into a true conceptual experience of what the color and culture of Black means to them. Their approach is contemporary laced historical and popular points of view



Artist, D. Lammie-Hanson and sound designer, Stanley Brown self-curate this wonderful exhibit. These two Black-American artists both from Brooklyn, NY have come together to collaborate on this theory with visual and sound design of what Black means to them and the communities that they live in.



D. Lammie-Hanson, a multi-faceted self-taught artist, concentrates on the visual dynamics and nuances within predominantly African-American communities by race, internal cultural differences, individual strife and the spiritual.'s8221; If I wasn'st born a Black woman's8230; would I like the person I would have been And I answered, Probably not. I love and relish being a Black woman 's8230; This show is a beautiful experience for the young, the old, Black, White Green Ms. Lammie-Hanson has a created the controversial painting of The Sunday Visit which depicts a little Black girl watching the women and men of the Ku Klux Klan dressed in their finest Whites getting ready to rally for a march. This little girl only has a level of curiosity that can only be seen in a child without know the danger. In another piece, Lammie turns a novel into two paintings. The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison inspired the 's8220;As He Dances and 's8220;He Exists's8221;. Each painting shows a Black man dancing and as the light changes so does he. The more light the less you see him. The less light the more he shines.



The Sound Designer, Stanley N. Brown, has always been inspired by the state of the world, particularly the state of urban Black neighborhoods. Brown who is the co-founder/guitarist for the hardcore powerfunk band D-XTREME, believes in the promise and future of Black-America. Brown believes as artists we are filters. We experience life, process it, and then repackage the experience for the end user via our selected medium. I feel that the audio reflects my life experience as a Black American artist. During the show, the visitor will hear 24 songs created particularly for this show. Titles of the songs relate to the Black experience. Some titles are positive like the self realization song of We who are Dark or Who is the Greatest American Negro's8221; or even The Talented Tenth. Other titles have the negative like Sambos, Coons, Pickininies or The Four Little Girls.



Together they bring an interpretation of both community and culture through art and audio. As seen in their debut exhibit, conversation ran fast and furious amongst viewers. References to black historical quotes; 's8220;The Talented Tenth's8221;, 's8220;Paper Bag Test's8221; and 's8220;Wolf Pack's8221; sparked discussions that left all thinking and on edge. But's8230;with an overwhelming sense of excitement and the need to discover more.



Interpretation of Black of Hanson Brown, the experience of what is Black, the color and culture, and then designing their own template into an exhibit as a Black celebration.
