Black Pope

The artist William Pope.L, who teaches at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, has been producing some of the most original visual and performing art in America for many years. But it was not until the Acting Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts overturned the recommendations of the NEA's own advisory panel to support this publication and the exhibition it accompanies that Pope.L became the subject of feature articles in the nation's major newspapers. Pope.L became a cause celebre as a result of the scandal, but he deserved to be known long before that. His work is humane, accessible, profound, and humorous; it is also deeply challenging and self-aware. It is neither an accident nor a joke that his business card reads "Friendliest Black Artist in America."Many of Pope.L's pieces take place on the street. He has eaten and regurgitated copies of The Wall Street Journal, tied himself to a bank door and handed out money (a sort of reverse panhandler), crawled up the Bowery wearing a business suit, and walked down 125th Street in Harlem wearing a 12-foot white cardboard phallus. Although he frequently deals with racial issues, his work confounds preconceptions of what "black art" should be.This book, which accompanies a nationally touring exhibition of Pope.L's work, explores his impact on American art and culture. It contains sections on practices, body, performance, dialogue, consumption, and a selection of the artist's writings and a chronology. The essays are by Mark H. C. Bessire, Suzanne Preston Blier, C. Carr, Geoffrey Hendricks, Stuart Horodner, Lowery Stokes Sims, Kristine Stiles, and Martha Wilson.

Avignon in 1346 is one of the most prosperous and vibrant cities in medieval France. It is the home of Pope Clement VI and his cardinals, of Christians and Jews, of peasants and flagellants: all are caught up in the life and tensions of the city. This historical epic charts a turbulent year in the life of Avignon and its people -- the corruption and influence of the Pope's worldly court on its officials; the sexual pressures on young women and handsome young boys, Jews and Christians; the Pope's crisis of conscience: but all are eventually overtaken by the arrival of the Black Death. Then survival is all that matters, be it the people who live in the palace, the town or the Street of the Jews. Avignon follows the fortunes of a family from the city's Jewish ghetto -- Blanchette, a beautiful, headstrong girl, her brilliant brother-in-law, Thoros, and her gossipy, meddling mother, Lea. Their lives are inextricably linked with those of Avignon's Christians -- beguiling Gui, nubile page to the Pope's favorite cardinal, Saint-Amant, the city's most notorious womanizer, and the gentle, conflicted Pope himself. Births and deaths, love and enmity, the Jews and Christians of Avignon are equally caught up in the life and tensions of the city.
