A vibrant and questioning new exhibition, Summertime, opens at FACTION Art Projects this week. The exhibition features the works of New York artists Julio Valdez, Lina Puerta, Leeza Meksin, Adrian Kondratowicz and Alexis Duque. The exhibition includes the varied and diverse responses to joy and sometimes stifling heat and legacy of summer. Exploring both the aesthetic of the season and the fundamental but not often visible costs summertime incurs, the works ask us to question to whom and what do we owe the joy that summer brings, from migrant workers and fruit pickers laboring in an intense summer heat, to the concern and foreboding of our changing and warming climate.

Drummer WINARD HARPER is passionate about jazz. "This music is powerful," he says. "It can do a lot of good for people. If they'd spend some time each day listening to it, we would see many changes in the world." Inspired by the musicianship of greats such as Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Jackie McLean, Cannonball Adderley, Dr. Billy Taylor, Art Blakey, and Billy Higgins, Harper has been the leader and musical inspiration for a vibrant sextet for almost a decade. The group appears regularly all over the United States from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to Yoshi's, the legendary West Coast jazz club. Although clearly the dominant force behind this extraordinarily gifted ensemble, Harper has surrounded himself with superbly talented young guardians of the jazz tradition (including Lawrence Clark, Ameen Saleem, Josh Evans, Stacy Dillard, and Alioune Faye), who are as entertaining to watch as they are to listen to. Born in Baltimore in 1962, [...]

Opening Reception: Friday, June 14, 2019, 6–8pm On view June 15 - October 13, 2019 After the End: Timing Socialism in Contemporary African Art presents a selection of works engaging with the history of African socialisms. It features artists looking at countries including Angola, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. The exhibition is the first in North America to explore aesthetic responses to African socialisms and their aftermath. Less than thirty years since independence from colonialism, the end of the Cold War brought down socialist governments and sparked a wave of upheaval among young African nations. The need to reimagine national narratives gave rise to a generation of artists that seek to make sense of the dramatic shifts witnessed by their countries. Far from situating socialism within a fixed past, these artists complicate it through various constructions of time including nostalgia, repetition, historicism, contemporaneity and utopia. Their work investigates how temporality shapes new forms of politics, history, subjectivity and the turn [...]
