“Where Margins Become Centers” explored forms of internalized and externalized oppression. Photographic diptychs filled the walls, establishing seductive dualities—aesthetic twinnings that propose both false origins and uncanny parallels.

Lorraine O’Grady’s exhibit “Where the Margins Become Center” was at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard from October – January 10, 2016.

Lorraine O Grady 2 Rivers

Jan 23, 2016. Caille Millner’s article brings new understanding to the content of O’Grady’s work. Unlike those who’ve seen Rivers, First Draft as surrealist — in the way early readers saw García Márquez’s 100 Years of Solitude as surrealist when that novel was, if not realistic, quite real — Millner deftly demystifies the piece’s collage aesthetic as literalized metaphor. She sees the 1982 Central Park performance as an instructional guide to women of color who want to become artists.

Lorraine O Grady 3

Feb 03, 2016. In this cover feature, her most important published interview to date, O’Grady discusses Flannery O’Connor as a philosopher of the margins, working out emotions via Egyptian sculpture, Michael Jackson’s genius, and feminism as a plural noun.

Feb 10, 2016. When the website first launched in 2007, it was seen as a model artist site. When it died in September 2015, tears were shed. But the loss proved a great opportunity. Now, after four months of round-the-­clock work, the rebuild is being launched with not only a new look and interface, but expanded resources and info. The Art, Writing and Press menus have grown and become more user­-friendly… and there’s a new Home page with images and featured items, as well as a new About page with its own gallery.
