Opening Reception and Artists’ Talk: Friday, February 16, 12pm
VINCENNES, IN. – The Shircliff Gallery of Art at Vincennes University is proud to present In Blackest Shade, In Darkest Light, a traveling exhibition of seven Black American artists working in drawing.
Patrick Earl Hammie, Curator:
In Blackest Shade, In Darkest Light is an exhibition that centers around drawing as a technology from which artists speculate, recover, and collect communal histories, manifesting stories of desired futures from the margins of imagination into the realities of the everyday.
Drawing serves as an instant gateway for dreaming, recording, and sharing ideas. It moved from a mainly private practice to a form that asks questions as equally bold as other media. Today, artists utilize drawing as a method to hack into and build networks that engage across scholarship, art, and community.
The show’s title takes inspiration from DC’s Green Lantern Corps’ oath, “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s light,” from which members of the fictional space guardians access magical strength and gather the will to challenge adversaries using their imagination.
The artists in this exhibition revel in horror, Afro-futurism, magical realism, Ethno-gothic, fantasy, Black Quantum Futurism, utopias and dystopias, and superheroes. They draw from cultural aesthetics and philosophies of science and history to explore and improvise within set boundaries and beyond. Their work speculates toward un-fixing the physical, political, and social knowns and imagine otherwise how we will be and become.

Starting with a focus on a single book of poems for young people—What I See, I Can Be (Brick Street, 2022)—Laurel Smith and Barb Shoup will discuss the process of “growing a book” from the germination of ideas to development of a text and the editing process required to bring one’s written work to fruition for readers/listeners. Aspects of writing and publishing will be addressed. Smith and Shoup look forward to questions from program participants.

During the months of September and October, The Open Gallery will welcome photographer Christopher Schneberger to exhibit his award-winning series titled, The Wanderers. This series takes the viewers on a twilight journey with young explorers that is at once contemplative, worrisome, dreamlike, and arresting. Are they really exploring or are they lost? Where do they want to go? What do they hope to find? What becomes of them? Schneberger leaves us with this notion: “This series is in some ways my own processing of being lost and finding my way, and gaining an appreciation of getting lost as a deliberate act.” We hope you will come and take the journey for yourself.
Christopher Schneberger is an Assistant Professor of Art at Vincennes University and is director for the gallery at Shircliff Humanities Center. Come welcome him to The Open Gallery this Friday, September 1 from 5 -8 p.m. Light refreshments and live music will make it a festive evening.
