5. Dunham's Botanical Garden in Port-au-Prince
- www.webster.edu
- PORT-AU-PRINCE -- Dance legend Katherine Dunham's 62-year-old love affair with Haiti is in question. ...
- ``I feel discouraged,'' Dunham said recently, during her first trip to Haiti since 1995.
- Part of that discouragement springs from the country's continuing turmoil, which has stalled Dunham's efforts to convert a 20-acre tract of forested land in Port-au-Prince into a botanical garden.
- Haiti captured Dunham's heart in the 1930s, when she arrived as a dancer and anthropologist to study the country's culture, history and, particularly, its dance.
- Dunham, in turn, captured the hearts of Haitians by making the dances of Haiti and the Caribbean internationally known. The love affair was rekindled in 1993, when Dunham held a 47-day fast to protest the U. ...
- ``That seems to have impressed people most of all,'' Dunham said, adding that she undertook the fast to draw the attention of the American press which ``had either presented Haiti in a condescending or glamourizing way. ...
- Approaching her 88th birthday, Dunham remains an icon in Haiti. ...
- Dunham also was special guest at a weeklong dance seminar sponsored by a school run by Eileen Herzong Bazin, sister-in-law of former presidential candidate Marc Bazin.
- Dunham purchased the property in the early 1950s. ...
- A decade later, she bought another three acres and built a residential complex that served as home away from home for Dunham, her late husband, John Pratt, and her dance troupe. ...
- Since Dunham's last visit, squatters and thugs have invaded the once-pristine grounds of Habitation Leclerc, moving into its bungalows, cutting down trees, destroying plants and dealing drugs.
- Despite the problems, Dunham remains committed to converting the property, which lies near the seashore amid surrounding slums. To that end, intermittent talks continue with the London-based Botanic Gardens Conservation International to help create and manage the Katherine Dunham Botanical Garden.
- ``They got down here and things were all right for a while,'' said Dunham. ...
- The first priority now, said Dunham and Jean Claude Elie, her representative in Haiti, is to find $30,000 to $50,000 to rebuild and raise the wall that surrounds the property to provide physical protection for plants and trees.
6. New Museum: Carroll Dunham
- www.newmuseum.org
- Carroll Dunham.
- If there's a couillard painter in our time, it's Carroll Dunham. For the past twenty years, Dunham has fine-tuned a vocabulary of painting that pushes pigments' capacities to their material limits and reflects a world bursting with those convulsive, violent elements Cézanne was once so unpopular for alluding to. Dunham's work has at its core an innate predisposition toward Darwinian survival of the fittest, all the while abstaining from blatant cultural critique or heavy-handed political diatribe. The great-grandson and great-great-grandson of homeopathic physicians, Dunham presents us with images of growth and destruction in much the way a philosopher-scientist would-with an unabashed, if necessarily distanced, enthusiasm. It's as though Jacques Derrida's theory of Plato's Pharmakon-that a curative drug, depending on the amount administered, can function as easily as poison as remedy; and that in order to become immune to something deadly, one must ingest a bit of it-is the subtext for all of Dunham's work. In homeopathic tradition, Dunham uses culture's poisons as nearly lethal cures, injecting just enough of humankind's toxic characteristics-greed, hate, envy, relentless self-absorption-to act as an immune system against them. In each ascending manifestation, Dunham's inoculated mongrels grow increasingly resilient and evermore insatiable, a monstrous testament to the old adage what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
- Dunham's paintings are the products of an ongoing shamanistic brew: one part art history, one part Punch and Judy, one part hallucinogen, and two parts time clocked on the analyst's couch. Dunham's career can be characterized by its rigorous indefinability, as his works dip freely into the realms of abstraction, figuration, surrealism, graffiti, pop, even cartoons, without ever settling loyally into any one of them. Exploring the relationship and the tensions between abstraction and figuration, Dunham's is an additive, revisionist process. ... After moving to New York in the early seventies, Dunham quickly gravitated to artists like Dorothea Rockburne, Mel Bochner, and Barry Le Va. His proximity to such figures gave Dunham the opportunity to school himself in ideas more conceptual than classical. Coming of artistic age himself in the late seventies, Dunham's decision to paint was, then, a self-conscious choice to engage with a quite specific set of concerns and productive limitations that painting could offer. When he became a presence in the era of the now-mythic eighties, Dunham's works appeared to have little in common with those by painters like David Salle, Eric Fischl, and Julian Schnabel, though, indeed, his works can and should be read productively against theirs. Dunham's paintings were compact, non-narrative, and anything but glamorous, and they commanded the attention of a small but dedicated audience. Some critics linked Dunham to painters of his own time period-from Bill Jensen to Sigmar Polke-but he was most often appended to historical genealogies, heralded as the descendant of artists as canonical, yet diverse, as Wassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dali, Arshile Gorky, and Philip Guston. It is fruitful to expand this mapping and to read Dunham's images alongside Dierick Bouts's 15th century theatrical corporeality, Hans Bellmer's surrealist pedophilic poupeés, and Jean Dubuffet's forays into art brut in the 1950s. ...
