last\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kengonzalesday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ken Gonzales-Day<\/a>\u00a0is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice considers the historical construction of race.\u00a0He supplements his photographs with research and writing that engage critically with history, art history, and Western conventions of race, blending historical tragedies with current events. Using photography and video, he explores trauma and resistance as experienced and embodied by racially oppressed populations in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition is a concise survey of the artist\u2019s career, including works from the\u00a0<em>Erased Lynching<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Searching for California Hang Trees<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Run Up<\/em>\u00a0series. His most recent work draws parallels between historical lynchings and high profile cases of police brutality affecting communities of color today. The core of the\u00a0<em>Run Up<\/em>\u00a0series is a cinematic restaging of the 1920 lynching of Charles Valento. Utilizing details drawn from the coroner\u2019s report and his own archival research, Gonzales-Day chose to focus on\u00a0this particular event\u00a0in order to draw attention to the police presence at the scene that tacitly condoned the\u00a0extralegal violence.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A survey of Gonzales-Day\u2019s work brings up one of his most poignant questions: What is the difference between collective resistance and racially motivated violence? It is a question being asked after recent tragic events in cities around the country, such as Ferguson and Los Angeles, as well as St.&nbsp;Paul and Minneapolis. By presenting historical occurrences in conjunction with contemporary events Gonzales-Day collapses the historical distance and exposes the unchanging reality of racialized violence in the United States. Exploring the dichotomy between presence and absence, Gonzales-Day draws attention to the selective vision of American history and the perception of people of color as expendable. He combines scholarly research and a photo-journalistic sensibility with rich aesthetics to create jarringly haunting portraits of historical trauma present in both the people and the land of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(click on an image below to enlarge it and see image details)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

The project also looks at how Enlightenment-era science measured the human form and the created ideals of beauty and otherness that persist today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mary Seacole was a Jamaican-born woman who aided English soldiers during The Crimean War and greatly contributed to the modernization of nursing in the nineteenth century. On the right, is a French Noblewoman. They are juxtaposed here to demonstrate the many features they share in common: curly hair, dimples, button noses. Rather than call out difference, this composition invites viewers to rethink their assumptions about race, whiteness, and how deeply engrained otherness is within western culture. On the impact of this work, Gonzales-Day has said, \u201cRacial profiling, [or] discriminatory treatment of persons of color, remains at the center of political debates about criminal justice, terrorism, national security, and immigration reform despite the fact that scholars and scientists increasingly argue that race has more to do with culture than biology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2102\" height=\"1878\" data-attachment-id=\"3563\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/exhibition-archive-ken-gonzales-day-shadowlands\/install8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/Install8.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2102,1878\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Install8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/Install8-1024x915.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/Install8.jpg\" alt=\"Erased Lynchings Series, 2006\" class=\"wp-image-3563\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Erased Lynching, <\/em>2006<br \/>Chromogenic prints<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As recently as the 1930s, photographs of lynching were printed in newspapers and onto postcards, mailed through the post office, and shared with family. They are a violent relic of American visual culture distributed using modern technology. The 15 photographs that you see here are based on lynching images Gonzales-Day found while writing his book Lynching in the West, available in our Reading Room. He has kept the intimate scale of each image intact but has carefully removed the hanged body using digital editing software. While he wanted to remind viewers of the historical tragedies, he did so without recreating the spectacle and re-victimizing the hanged person. What we are left with are the people who have perpetuated these crimes as well as a haunting reminder of how these bodies, up until recently, have been erased from the historical record.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Gonzales-Day describes how he uses the dichotomy of presence and absence to draw attention to the systems of oppression that made the violence permissible, \u201cThese absences or empty spaces become emblematic of a forgotten history \u2013 made all the more palpable in light of our expanding understanding of America\u2019s history of lynching.\u201d Lynchings are also paradoxically present and absent; we know they happened but even with extensive photographic documentation, the perpetrators were never indicted for their crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"3625\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/exhibition-archive-ken-gonzales-day-shadowlands\/people4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/People4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1252,1878\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Students view Gonzales-Day&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;

The sheriff arrested Jesse, and he allegedly confessed to and was then charged with murder. A huge crowd showed up for the trial, which lasted for just an hour. The jury deliberated for 4 minutes, finding him guilty of murder and sentencing him to death. Jesse was immediately taken out of the courtroom by a mob and hanged in front of more than 10,000 onlookers. His body was burned, mutilated, and parts were sold as souvenirs.

In some cases, he was able to find the exact tree from which a person was hanged. In other cases, he could only get close to or guess at the location because the tree had been cut down or the area had been developed. His search is a performed act of looking for but not always recovering this erased history. The artist says, \u201cI have retraced the steps of the lynch mob and vigilance committee, and these photographs have become an irrefutable record of my journey.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The tall and majestic trees in Gonzales-Day\u2019s <em>Searching for California\u2019s Hang Trees <\/em>photographs stand as silent yet enduring memorials to the hangings that occurred. Living in plain sight, they are haunting reminders of the traumatic past that has seeped into the ground and how violence is rooted in the American landscape and our collective history. While they are photographed to accentuate California\u2019s natural beauty, they show how these trees were bystanders to dark history as well.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"jwl_one_half\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Charles Valento, or \u201cMexican Charlie\u201d \u2013 the derogatory name used by some local reporters \u2013 was hanged along with two accomplices for the murder of three police officers in Santa Rosa, California, on December 10, 1920.

The three men on the right side were part of Gonzales-Day&#8217;s reenactment of Charles Valento&#8217;s hanging which occurred in 1920. While the woman on the left looks towards them, the men have turned their faces and walk away without acknowledging her. This composite photograph speaks to the consistent yet unbridgeable rifts that are at the root of changing today&#8217;s racial tensions, eloquently echoed by James Baldwin:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You cannot lynch me and keep me in ghettos<br \/>\nwithout becoming something monstrous yourselves.<br \/>\nAnd furthermore, you give me a terrifying advantage:<br \/>\nyou never had to look at me; I had to look at you.<br \/>\nI know more about you than you know about me.<br \/>\nNot everything that is faced can be changed,<br \/>\nbut nothing can be changed until it is faced.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1448\" data-attachment-id=\"3700\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/exhibition-archive-ken-gonzales-day-shadowlands\/92adb8311e4a54a918130df0134bd085\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/92adb8311e4a54a918130df0134bd085.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1448\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"92adb8311e4a54a918130df0134bd085\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/92adb8311e4a54a918130df0134bd085-1024x618.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/92adb8311e4a54a918130df0134bd085.jpg\" alt=\"Canfield Drive, Ferguson, MO, 2015\" class=\"wp-image-3700\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Canfield Drive, Ferguson, MO,<\/i> 2015<br \/>Chromogenic print<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the temporary memorial that sprung up in Ferguson, Missouri where Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014.

Tensions remained hot despite freezing temperatures. The thin blanket of snow that covers the flowers and plush animals speaks to the persistence as well as the tenuousness of this memorial.&nbsp; These improvised memorials, which also appeared in the Twin Cities after the shooting of Jamar Clark and Philando Castille, serve as gathering places for community members to pay their respects, but are cleaned up after a time. If a permanent marker isn\u2019t installed will anyone remember what happened here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" data-attachment-id=\"2196\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/flaten-art-museum\/dsc_0698_1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2013\/08\/DSC_0698_1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1514\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5200&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1504888506&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;75&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_0698_1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Opening reception attendees read the &lt;i&gt; Shadowlands &lt;\/i&gt; booklet.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2013\/08\/DSC_0698_1-1024x606.jpg\" data-id=\"2196\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2013\/08\/DSC_0698_1-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2196\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Opening reception attendees read the <i> Shadowlands <\/i> booklet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"624\" data-attachment-id=\"3549\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/people3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/flaten\/files\/2020\/06\/People3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1559\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A student regards Gonzales-Day&amp;#8217;s 2011 photograph  &lt;i&gt; Untitled (Henry Weekes, Bust of an African Woman [based on a photographic image of Mary Seacole], 1859, and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, Bust of Mm.
