The 'Tax Collector' by Titus Kaphar

About two weeks ago, we had field trips at the Euphrat Museum at the University of De Anza. The theme of the museum exhibition is "production space", its meaning is to pay attention to the blank in various forms. Looking up at the corner of the hall, I saw a unique asthmatic person with a human eye hole. This hole gives me a feeling of free space. I am very interested and I try to see it more clearly. Then I learned that the picture was called "tax collector" and was produced by Tituskapur.

When the artist Titus Kaphar went to the university, he conducted a survey of art history and tried to encompass the cave paintings to the modernism in the first semester. But when his textbook had only 14 pages of history on people with art color - Titus took this question to the professor. On the day of class, the professor said: sorry, we have no time to report. This changed his life

This is the artist Titus Kaphar, ART '06, which provided the TED speech entitled "Can you modify history?" On the stage. In the back of April this year, he painted in the 17th century by French Hals, behind which the face of everyone except the black black boy is drawn. The workshop he suggested reflects his own artistic pursuit. And it interacts with history by manipulating the media and mixing modern and Renaissance styles. In 2014, he produced his work "Another Commemorative War" for the shooting of Michael Brown. Kappal's work is political

Where do you start? How to design and build an innovative, fair and ethical landscape? Probably a good starting point is to apply the spirit of Tate Scarpour to his public art work. "We will make honest sculptures and fight against our past struggles, but talk about diversity and current progress. It is only there to destroy the monuments and effectively remove them from the history without leaving anything It is as destructive as.

Of course, in addition to curation, you can also place new works around the world in the activated landscape. American artist Tate Scapul shows in his work that public art and public sculpture can reconstruct our collective historical understanding. Artists decomposed Franz Hals' paintings of the 19th century and emphasized the hierarchical structure of constitutive structures. It highlights the black boy sitting at the lowest level. He can find more information about the strings worn by white women, not about black children. In his study he cited historical trends in these artistic paintings, while public art sculptures were not clearly represented by blacks. Mr. Kapoor asked, "How do these public works projects see these explanations to the people who are the most vulnerable in our society?"
