Collaborating with The Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Cinema Remixed & Reloaded is the first exhibition to examine the critical contributions of black women film and video artists to the field of contemporary art. Featuring projections, installations, interactive CD-ROM projects, experimental film and video work the exhibition spans across generations and geographic boundaries to present work by more than 40 artists. Works by established artists who began working with the medium in the 1970s such as Adrian Piper, Carroll Parrott Blue, Senga Nengudi, Julie Dash, and Howardena Pindell, are presented along side of works created by mid-career and emerging artists such as Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, Bernie Searle, Kara Walker, Marìa Magdelena Campos-Pons, Elizabeth Axtman, , Zoë Charlton, Jessica Ann Peavy, Tracey Rose, Lauren Kelley, Lauren Woods, and Xaviera Simmons. A significant catalogue co-published by The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, accompanies this exhibition and functions as an essential reader on the subject of black women artists and the moving image since 1970.
