The NY Times on new video installation at Jersey City Museum!

New York Times art writer Ben Genocchio reviews "Ask Chuleta", a new video installation by Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz on view now (and through April 26, 2009) at Jersey City Museum.
Click here to watch a clip from Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz's "Ask Chuleta" videos. The New York Times Angry, Funny and Concerned About Identity By BENJAMIN GENOCCHIO Published: February 13, 2009 You?ve got to admire Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, the 35-year-old performance and video artist from the Bronx whose work is now being shown at the Jersey City Museum. Despite the fact that identity politics in art has been out of fashion for a decade, she continues to make angry, difficult but also poignant and occasionally riotously funny works about being a Latina in the United States. Hers is art with something to say. But unlike a lot of identity-based art, her work is never tepid or academic. This is because Ms. Raimundi-Ortiz is not interested so much in theories and philosophical debate as in what is actually going on out in the world. This kind of art is not for everyone; it may make some people feel uncomfortable. But what I like about Ms. Raimundi-Ortiz is that she continually challenges the way we look at the world. Her performances pose alternatives to habitual judgments and prejudices, reminding us that how we see ourselves and others is bound up with an intricate mix of social and cultural mores. The current show contains three video performances in which the artist adopts the speech, mannerisms and dress of a young Latina from the projects, known as Chuleta, and instructs her viewers in art world topics like postmodernism, identity politics, Color Field painting and Dada. It is like a cross between Robert Hughes?s TV series ?The Shock of the New? and a novel by Oscar Hijuelos. Though numbered, the three videos here can be viewed in any order. Their format and content is pretty much the same, with the artist in each case taking an unfamiliar, often complex art world topic and then attempting to explain it using language, terms and analogies familiar to Latino teenagers. She is foul-mouthed, opinionated and sassy, with a fondness for food and Internet imagery. But through it all she somehow manages to get the basic information across. It is easy to laugh while watching these videos, especially if you know anything about art. The third one, ?Topic Three: Color Field Painting? (2007), is a lot of fun, especially a moment in which Chuleta, recounting a recent museum visit, recalls having seen what she believes to be the same painting by Mark Rothko at the dentist?s office. Further reflection leads her to the realization that it must have been a print. In ?Topic Two: Pollock and Kahlo? (2007), Chuleta, dressed in denim overalls with a large hairbrush in her back pocket, gives an impromptu demonstration of how to make a Jackson Pollock painting. It is a mess. She then attempts to explain Abstract Expressionism before getting frustrated and, in desperation, advising everyone to order the movie about Pollock?s life on Netflix. Then there is the scene in ?Topic One: Contemporary Art? (2006), the first video in the series and probably the funniest, in which she explains the concept of the ?white cube? gallery. Her explanation is matter-of-fact: ?It sounds stupid but it is four white walls in the shape of a box where you be putting the pictures.? It is refreshing to hear someone cut through all the art-world mumbo-jumbo. Chuleta?s na?vet? can be charming, but her folksy and frequently skewed art history lessons have a more serious purpose. Time and again in these videos she makes reference to Latinos? being intimidated by the art world and not feeling welcome at museums. She repeats in all three videos that her goal is to ?bridge the gap between the art world and everyday people.? One way the videos attempt to do so is by demonstrating how Latinos can see themselves and their experiences depicted in the work of artists. The paintings of Frida Kahlo, discussed in ?Topic Two: Pollock and Kahlo,? become an occasion for reflection on the trials of pregnancy, female suffering and male infidelity. In short, these videos have a dual mission. On the one hand they seek to educate young Latinos about beauty and imagination in art. But they also try to demystify art, to show how, at its best, it reveals something that may otherwise be invisible to us in daily life. This is a quality anyone, of any background or education, can appreciate. ?Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz: Ask Chuleta,? Jersey City Museum, 350 Montgomery Street, through April 26.

Financial Advice for Artists at JC Museum on Saturday
By Jon Whiten From www.jerseycityindependent.com Jan. 8, 2009 ?Money is a four-letter word in the art world, it?s taboo,? says Jersey City Museum program coordinator and artist Brendan Carroll. ?Why discuss what I do not have? I?d rather eat ice cream and go to the movies.? It?s likely to be a little cold for ice cream this weekend, and the movies are kind of pricey, so artists who usually shy away from personal finance might want to check out the ?Cash Flow: Trickle or River?? workshop at the museum on Saturday afternoon. The program marks the return of a series of professional development workshops for artists put together by the Museum and the the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development (HCOCHA). The series successfully debuted last year with an average of 90-100 people at each event, so the two organizations decided to give it a go again this year. Saturday?s workshop will be led by accountant and artist Susan Lee, who hosts and produces ?You and Your Money? on WBAI-FM. She covers everything from managing your taxes and increasing your income flow to more esoteric matters having to do with money, creativity and lifestyle choices. Carroll, who saw Lee?s presentation and recommended her to be part of the series, says that her advice is particularly powerful because it ?was grounded in her personal experience.? Lee had a day job as a cab driver when she realized that she was good at doing taxes, and didn?t mind doing it. She left the five-day-a-week cab driving gig for a three-month-a-year tax preparing gig, and giving her more time to concentrate on her art. With the economic downturn reducing the grantmaking capacities of charitable foundations and hurting cultural institutions, Saturday?s panel should help artists fine-tune their financial strategies at a time when we all have a little less money to work with. The HCOCHA?s Meredith Lippman says that is no accident. When designing this year?s workshop, the organizers took the pulse of the local arts community to find out what kind of professional development might be most helpful. ?The state of the current economy is a primary concern,? Carroll says. ?From East to West Coast, the nonprofit world has been devastated by the financial collapse.? He adds that like many other Americans ? artists or otherwise ? he has no financial safety net and lacks health insurance. ?I live paycheck to paycheck. If I miss work, I can?t pay bills. If I need to see a doctor, I have no insurance,? he says. ?This is scary.? While Long Valley, N.J., artist Buel Ecker says she hasn?t been profoundly affected by the economic downturn, she does say that she is looking forward to learning some specifics at Saturday?s panel. ?I hope to get information I need to more routinely and efficiently organize my record keeping,? she says, ?and some information on what is and what isn?t allowed for income tax purposes.? Ecker, who attended last year?s workshops as well, says that artists often find it hard to talk about money because it ?gets into the whole philosophical discussion about process and product? and the age-old question of the relation between art, commerce and authenticity. ?The bottom line,? she says, ?is that each artist makes their own choices of why they create and then must make the personal choice of if and how to sell their creations and how to fit art-making into their lives.? Carroll says that, for him, that was the takeaway from Lee?s presentation: learning how the ?rest? of an artist?s life affects his or her ability to make art. ?It was an epiphany. I began to see how my lack of finances, and my refusal to grapple with my finances, dictated the type of work that I made,? he says. ?I guess I figured that I would find a bag of money on the side of the road, and that would be that. Magical thinking. Well, I have not found that bag of money.? Cash Flow: Trickle or River? The Jersey City Museum 350 Montgomery St. Saturday, Jan. 10 2-4 pm For more info on Saturday?s program and the rest of the series, visit the Jersey City Museum website* *On the museum?s site, it says that RSVPs were needed by Wednesday, but the HCOCHA?s Meredith Lippman tells us that anyone can just show up. She says about 40 people have RSVPed so far. Jon Whiten is the Jersey City Independent's managing editor, and one of three trustees of Jersey City Independent Inc. He is also the editor of AltWeeklies.com and the managing editor of NEW magazine. In 2006, he co-founded City Belt, and has written for the Jersey Journal.
