SynopsisRevisiting 5+1 presents work by thirteen artists at the junction of abstract art, racial and gender politics, and student activism during the late 1960s. In 1969, British Guiana-born artist Frank Bowling organized 5+1, an exhibition at Stony Brook University (NY), presenting his work alongside five other American-born artists: Melvin Edwards, Daniel LaRue Johnson, Al Loving, Jack Whitten, and William T. Williams. Coinciding with the Black Student Movement on campus, 5+1 was a landmark presentation of Black artists working in abstraction. This book revisits the 1969 exhibition and, in collaboration with celebrated artist and longtime Stony Brook professor Howardena Pindell, adds work by five Black women artists: Vivian Browne, Mary Lovelace O'Neal, Betye Saar, Alma Thomas, and Mildred Thompson, plus Pindell. Presenting photographs by Adger Cowans, a reconstructed checklist, and curatorial essays as well as color illustrations, the innovative spiral-bound book designed by Miko McGinty, Inc. provides new insight into the significance of university-based exhibitions organized by Black artists.
