ABOUT KELLIE'S WORK
Kellie Jones is an art historian and curator deepening our understanding of contemporary art of the African Diaspora and securing its place in the canons of modern and contemporary art. Her research and curatorial practice, which span large-scale museum exhibitions with extensive catalogues as well as scholarly books and articles, have been instrumental in introducing the work of now seminal black artists (such as Martin Puryear, David Hammons, and Lorna Simpson) to wide audiences and bringing to light long-forgotten or overlooked black artists.

Through the exhibition Energy/Experimentation: Black Artists and Abstraction, 1964–1980 (2006)—which highlighted numerous black artists working in abstract painting or sculpture—and her scholarly work on African American conceptualists, Jones has prompted a reevaluation of the view that African American art of the period was predominantly figurative or representational. At the same time, she refuses to treat the work of black artists as an isolated phenomenon, instead drawing on a keen attention to cross-cultural aesthetics and a highly developed sensitivity to the formal properties of art objects to integrate their work into the broader artistic production of the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles, 1960–1980, she both unearthed the histories of previously unknown Los Angeles–based black artists and contextualized their work alongside West Coast artists of other racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Jones’s exploration of interracial differences and racial solidarity among the artists in Now Dig This! reflects her ongoing interest in the ability of art to shape and advance communities, a theme she returned to in Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties (2014). With over 100 works by a diverse set of artists, Witness revealed distinct aesthetic strategies informed by but also responding to the struggle for racial justice, while also making a powerful case for the role of art in the civil rights movement. Through an array of critical interventions, Jones is writing the history of African American art and redefining the contours of American art history in general.

BIOGRAPHY
Kellie Jones received a B.A. (1981) from Amherst College and a Ph.D. (1999) from Yale University. She held curatorial positions at the Studio Museum in Harlem (1981–1983), Jamaica Arts Center (1986–1990), and Walker Art Center (1991–1998); was U.S. Commissioner for the Bienal de São Paulo (1989); and was a curator of the Johannesburg Biennale (1997). She was on the faculty of Yale University (1999­–2006) prior to joining the faculty of Columbia University, where she is currently an associate professor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology and a Faculty Fellow in the Institute for Research in African American Studies. In addition to her books, EyeMinded: Living and Writing Contemporary Art (2011) and South of Pico: African American Artists in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s (forthcoming, 2017), Jones has authored essays in such journals as Artforum and Third Text and numerous exhibition catalogs.

关于凯莉的工作
凯莉-琼斯是一位艺术史学家和策展人，她加深了我们对非洲散居地的当代艺术的理解，并确保其在现代和当代艺术的典范中的地位。她的研究和策展实践跨越了大型博物馆展览和广泛的目录以及学术书籍和文章，在向广大观众介绍现在具有开创性的黑人艺术家（如马丁-珀伊尔、大卫-汉蒙斯和洛纳-辛普森）的作品和使长期被遗忘或忽视的黑人艺术家重见天日方面起到了重要作用。

通过展览 "能量/实验"。琼斯通过展览《能量/实验：1964-1980年的黑人艺术家和抽象》（2006年）--该展览强调了众多从事抽象绘画或雕塑的黑人艺术家，以及她关于非裔美国人概念主义者的学术工作，促使人们重新评价那一时期的非裔美国艺术主要是具象或表现的观点。同时，她拒绝将黑人艺术家的作品视为一种孤立的现象，而是凭借对跨文化美学的敏锐关注和对艺术对象的形式属性的高度敏感，将他们的作品融入美国20世纪和21世纪更广泛的艺术创作中。在Now Dig This! 艺术与洛杉矶黑人，1960-1980》中，她既发掘了以前不为人知的洛杉矶黑人艺术家的历史，又将他们的作品与西海岸其他种族和民族背景的艺术家放在一起。

琼斯在《Now Dig This！》中对艺术家之间的种族间差异和种族团结的探索反映了她对艺术塑造和推动社区的能力的持续兴趣，这是她在《见证》中回到的主题。她在《见证：六十年代的艺术与民权》（2014年）中回到了这个主题。见证》有100多件由不同艺术家创作的作品，揭示了不同的审美策略，这些策略不仅是对种族正义斗争的回应，同时也为艺术在民权运动中的作用提供了有力的证明。通过一系列的批判性干预，琼斯正在书写美国黑人艺术的历史，并重新定义美国艺术史的总体轮廓。

个人简历
凯莉-琼斯在阿默斯特学院获得学士学位（1981年），在耶鲁大学获得博士学位（1999年）。她曾在哈莱姆工作室博物馆（1981-1983年）、牙买加艺术中心（1986-1990年）和沃克艺术中心（1991-1998年）担任策展职务；是圣保罗双年展（1989年）的美国专员；并曾担任约翰内斯堡双年展（1997年）的策展人。在加入哥伦比亚大学之前，她曾在耶鲁大学任教（1999-2006年），目前是该校艺术史和考古学系的副教授以及非洲裔美国人研究学院的教师研究员。除了她的书，还有EyeMinded。生活与写作的当代艺术》（2011年）和《皮克的南方》。琼斯还在《艺术论坛》和《第三文本》等杂志上发表过文章，并撰写了许多展览目录。
