Time Capsule Talk @ SECCA: Discover Unearthed Treasures
Imagine the future with archaeologist John Mintz during the Time Capsule Talk.
John Mintz is Assistant State Archaeologist at the Office of State Archaeology for the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Mintz has been instrumental in various archaeological projects, including the investigation for the location of the first courthouse (built in 1718) in Edenton, North Carolina.
About the Time Capsule Talks @ SECCA:
Exhibiting artists from SECCA’s current exhibition, The Future We Remember, have contributed objects to a time capsule as a way to address the future. Talks invited leaders in the fields of anthropology, astronomy, archaeology, biology, and poetry to re-imagine the future with the audience using the time capsule artifacts. Each program took place in SECCA’s interactive education space, The Overlook Gallery.
12 X 12: Endia Beal
The debut artist in the 12 x 12 exhibition series, Endia Beal is a Winston-Salem based photographer whose work addresses race, gender and power.
March 1- April 1, 2016
SECCA is pleased to launch 12 x 12, a new juried salon series of twelve intimately scaled solo exhibitions accompanied by artist talks with artist Endia Beal. Winston-Salem-based photographer Endia Beal's current body of work, Am I What You're Looking For is presented as a photo installation. Through a series of striking portraits, the project explores aspirations and challenges faced by college-age African-American women hoping to enter professional and corporate space.
About Endia Beal
Endia Beal is a North Carolina-based artist, educator and activist whose photographic narratives and video testimonies examine the personal, contemporary stories of marginalized communities and people. Beal currently serves as the Director of the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University and Associate Professor of Art. She holds a dual baccalaureate degree in Studio Art and Art History from UNC Chapel Hill and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography from Yale University. Her work has previously been exhibited at the Charles Wright Museum (Detroit, MI), the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Art +Culture (Charlotte, NC), the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts (Boone, NC), and Aperture Foundation (New York, NY).
About 12 x 12
12 x 12 artist salon series presents 12 artists from North Carolina, the 12th State. Each Salon is a pop-up exhibition and conversation with the artist. The series schedule consists of three exhibitions per spring and fall seasons in 2016 and 2017, beginning March 1st, 2016. At the end of the salons, a group exhibition in our Potter Gallery will bring together all twelve artists.
The twelve artists in the series represent a diversity of artistic practices and cultural backgrounds. At salon events, each artist will share ideas and processes of their studio practice in the midst of recent, new, or site-specific work presented in SECCA's Preview Gallery. Each artist will discuss their experience first-hand, inviting the public to ask questions and to engage in conversation. Like a studio visit, these salon events are a social space for the discovery and discussion, providing invaluable feedback to artists and insights to those who come to experience them.
12 x 12 gives artists from across North Carolina a public platform for continued artistic development and recognition in the place where they live and work, and beyond. At the same time, the series aims to push conversation around contemporary art forward and to consider the significance of localism as a curatorial framework. What does it mean to these artists to be working in the South and Southeast today, especially after the Internet and Globalization?
The 12 x 12 artists were selected by Cora Fisher (Curator of Contemporary Art, SECCA) and four guest jurors: Linda Dougherty (Chief Curator & Curator of Contemporary Art, North Carolina Museum of Art); Lia Newman (Director and Curator of the Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College); Marshall Price (Nancy Hanks Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University); and Mary Anne Redding (Curator, Turchin Center for the Visual Arts).

Kianga Ford's 34x52x40 Documentary HD
Over the past six months, Kianga Ford has explored Winston-Salem to research its history, speak with members of the community, walk its neighborhoods, collaborate with local musicians, and imagine lives shaped by the city's patterns of settlement, de-segregation, and industrialization. In the audio-based artwork 34 x 52 x 40, she translates this information into a series of three guided walks and a driving tour of Winston-Salem. These narratives place us into the headspace of fictional characters inspired by the history and character of our city.
The title of the work refers to Forsyth as the 34th County of North Carolina (in slang, the Tre-4), whose population has been simultaneously connected and divided by the major highways spanning Winston-Salem: 52 & 40. By listening to, and experiencing this project, you will re-discover Downtown, the Transit Center, The Pond, Happy Hill, La Perla, Reynoldstown and Reynolda Village through the imagination of an internationally-travelled artist.
Rise Up Winston Salem Part 2
Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations of Winston- Salem, NC lent over 100 ladders for me to create this installation in Old Salem. I built the sculpture by using the ladders to hold each other up tying them together with cable ties. I intended to create a metaphor for the community emphasizing the strength it finds in interdependence, mutual support, and trust as well as its hopes and aspirations. The project was organized by SECCA (The South Eastern Center for Contemporary Art) as part of their 2009 public art series Inside-Out: Artist's in the Community. The exhibition of the Rise Up Winston Salem installation took place March 7 April 17, 2009 on the grounds of Old Salem Museum and Gardens.
