Since the 1980's, Carrie Mae Weems has challenged the status of the Black female body within the complex social fabric of American society. Her photographic work, film, and performance investigate spaces that range from the American kitchen table to the nineteenth-century world of historically Black Hampton University to the ancient landscaped of Rome.
These texts consider the underpinnings of photographic history in Weem's work, focusing on such early works as the Kitchen Table Series; Weem's engagement with photographic archives, historical spaces, and the conceptual legacy of art history; and the relationship between her work and its institutional venues. The book makes clear not only the importance of Weem's work but also the necessity for an expanded set of concerns in contemporary art- one in which race does not restrict a discussion of aesthetics, as it has in the past, robbing Black artists of a full consideration of their work.
