  abstract: "Neither the metaphorical birth of a nation nor its actual violent formation is a one-time event. It is a process. A process of erasing, naming, and unnaming. Settling and unsettling. Extracting, dispossessing, and disappearing--a process of taking and placemaking. It is a tool of conquest, unthinkable without waterways, voyages, slave ships, and hemispheric maps of colonial and imperial demarcation. A companion to the exhibition A Nation Takes Place at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, this catalog examines how artists bring critical attention to the "liquid fantasies" of the sea and navigate race and the violent silences, voids, ruptures, breaks, and counterworld formations unattended by the visuality of traditional maritime art, pushing the boundaries of what marine art is and can become. Situating archival images, artworks, and texts within the visual convention of maritime art, this collection interrogates ways that the imaginaries of seafaring are tethered to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art pairs contemporary artworks with their historical antecedents, representing how the maritime world remains with us as a romantic notion, a space of haunting, a capitalist playground, a violent terrain, a site of resistance, and a place to rethink the ecological imaginary"--Publisher's website.

  note: A Nation Takes Place: Navigating Race and Water in Contemporary Art, distributed by the University of Minnesota Press, is the accompanying catalog to the A Nation Takes Place exhibition. Featuring essays and reflections by Tiffany Lethabo King, Katherine McKittrick, Brenda Marie Osbey, Erin Sharkey, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Tia Simone-Gardner, and Shana M. griffin, on the complexity of the United States' formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slave ships. A Nation Takes Place examines the ways seafaring imaginaries are connected to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. This unique perspective invites us to rethink our understanding of these historical events and their water connections.
  note: A Nation Takes Place examines the ways seafaring imaginaries are connected to the lethal technologies of enslavement, colonialism, genocide, dispossession, and extraction. This unique perspective invites us to rethink our understanding of these historical events and their water connections. The exhibition draws together a collection of artwork by 38 artists and from over 20 lending partners to help us comprehend the complexity of America's formation, a project unthinkable without waterways, conquest, and slave ships. While the archive, with its limitations, provides some access to the past, some histories have been erased, others remain inaccessible to language, and others are resistant to being written. In these gaps, the artists in A Nation Takes Place invite us to interpret and understand these spaces where words cannot. -- from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum website, accessed 2024-10-21.
