Dancing off the blues...Nostalgia is the memory of a momentthat creates a smile or a warm feeling.The exhibition subtitle, Sound Systems Back in Da Day remembers how black communities gathered regularly in the streetscape of a booming bassline and melody, be that reggae, soul or hip hop. It consolidated identity and a sense of community, allowing sound to establish one’s place and home and giving birth to new British cultural exchanges and genres.

Welcome to our Autumn season and the launch of Sound Systems Back in Da Day.In this new exhibition, Michael McMillan with his collaborators Gary Stewart and Trevor Mattheson (Dubmorphology), play homage to the golden era of the Jamaican sound system by animating the main gallery space into one big blues party. Falling during Black History Month, the exhibition stimulates a busy season of interactions, debates and dialogues which readdress history and personal identities. We feature SCRATCH, NAE’s first ever record fair, and we place a special focus on women in the music industry through a seminar led by Jackie P (Kemet FM) and Lady V (V Rocket).

In our Mezzanine gallery we exhibit the culmination of a two year project Jamaican Hidden Histories: Sugar was King, exploring the links between Jamaica and Britain through the sweet and sour history of sugar. Later we feature University of Nottingham’s curatorial group Crop UpGallery who, inspired by our main gallery show, create an exciting multi-sensory experience that translates sound vibrations into visual spectaculars. Later in autumn, Al Newman and Christopher Bateman curate the playful, cheeky and humorous illustrations of Wilfred Limonious, exploring the transformative aesthetic Limonious created in Dancehall Art.

Our diverse public programme offers rich experiences, featuring off site and touring initiatives, musical exchanges with Nairobi, academics and artists in residence, debates and discussions featuring Mykaell Riley and Vanley Burke, Eid, family activities, YARD young people’s theatre, film screening and Q&As. We partner with Bloomberg New Contemporaries for a special discussion event exploring how society can support arts graduates.

Travel to Lincoln for Frequency Digital Arts Festival to experience a special edition of Get Up Stand Up!, our partnership project with Galleries of Justice, exploring global civil rights in response to the festival’s theme ‘liberation’.

So…why not liberate your creative self and join us in a season that dances off the blues.

We look forward to seeing you about…

EXHIBITIONS

Rockers, Soulheads & Lovers: Sound Systems Back In Da Day is a new exhibition exploring the golden era of African-Caribbean sound systems from the 1960s to the early 1980s, curated by Michael McMillan in collaboration with Gary Stewart, Trevor Mathison (Dubmorphology) and New Art Exchange.

Sound systems originated from Jamaica and began to emerge in the UK from the 1950s onwards, creating an important space where the black community could dance and listen to their music of choice. Sound systems are custom made, high powered, mobile hi fis. Box Boys and Engineers would ‘string up’ sound systems for a dance and the Selectors would play vinyl records with Toasters/MCs ‘chatting’ on the mic.

‘I started a sound system in 1957 to bring black people together, because things was hard for us in those days. We wasn’t going to run from anybody.’ Doctor

Taking the form of an atmospheric audio visual installation, the exhibition will capture the sights, but more importantly, the sounds of blues parties and shebeens. Featured in the exhibition are the personal stories, film footage and photographs from early sound system pioneers in Nottingham and the ‘ravers’ who danced wherever they ‘played out’.

‘You had Doctor, Sir Clifton, Ska Boy, Sky Rocket, Quatro Town, Tropical, Earthquake, Success, Top-Notch – loads of sound systems that we at V-Rocket had rivalry with.’ Valerie Robinson (V-Rocket)

The show will evoke the sense of being in a dance with authentic ‘House of Joy’ wardrobe speakers, value amps, turntables, vinyl records and a specially created soundtrack. NAE will transform into a blues dance to launch the show on 10 October. Join us for more interactive events taking place throughout the exhibition (see page 8 – 13).

5 September – 1 November 2015Launch Event: Saturday 5 September 12pm – 2pm

Jamaica Hidden Histories: Sugar Was King Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Full Spectrum Production presents the culmination of a two year project to uncover and showcase historical, cultural and economic links between Jamaica and Britain. This Nottingham exhibition forms the final part of a national gallery tour.

Jamaica Hidden Histories: Sugar Was Kingexplores how the global history of sugar has impacted on localised domestic culture in Britain and Jamaica. In a workshop held at NAE in August 2014, Jamaican elders residing in Nottingham shared their memories of traditional sweets and treats, made and eaten while growing up in Jamaica. Through these oral testimonies (in video and print format) and a collection of archival photographs, the exhibition explores how sugar has left a legacy central to British and Jamaican heritage. The exhibition also features the work of notable Jamaican-born artists from Nottingham, Esmel May and Lorna Holder.

Join us for a stimulating panel discussion as part of the exhibition on Saturday 31 October, 12pm – 2pm (see page 11 for details)

14 November 2015 – 3 January 2016Launch Event: Saturday 14 November3pm – 5pm

Synaesthesia and Vibrations: Crop Up CollectiveCrop Up is a student-run curatorial group based within the University of Nottingham. Drawing inspiration from Michael McMillan’s exhibition Sound Systems Back In Da Day, Crop Up have commissioned two Midlands based artists to explore music and the phenomena of vibrations and synaesthesia, a condition where stimulating one sense triggers another – here hearing music may cause visions of bright colour and abstract shapes. Addressing challenges faced by individuals who live with sensory impairments, in particular hearing impairments, Crop Up and the commissioned artists embrace the qualities surrounding music in a way that is open and accessible to all.

7 November 2015 – 3 January 2016Launch Event: Saturday 7 November3pm – 5pm

In Fine Style: The Dancehall Art of Wilfred LimoniousIn Fine Style is the first solo retrospective of Wilfred Limonious (1949–99), one of Jamaica’s most prolific illustrators and designers, and father of what has become known as ‘dancehall art’. Limonious is loved within reggae circles for his colourful, outrageous album jackets, and in Jamaica for his comic strips for the national newspapers, but virtually unknownin the wider art world.

Curated by Al Newman and Christopher Bateman, this exhibition explores Limonious’ prolific output as an album jacket designer, as well as his cartoons for The Star and illustrations for Jamaica’s national literacy programme, JAMAL. In putting together this exhibition and the accompanying book, the curators seek to promote and celebrate an artist and art form that currently lacks representation in mainstream galleries.

Al ‘Fingers’ Newman is a musician, DJ and cultural historian based in London. His previous books include Greensleeves The First 100 Covers (Stüssy), DPM, an Encyclopaedia of Camouflage (Maharishi) and Clarks in Jamaica (One Love Books). His recent exhibitions include Sound System Culture: Bristol (co-curator) and Art in the Dancehall (co-curator).

Join curator Al Newman and spoken word artist Leonie Veronica for a tour of the exhibition. See page 8 for details.
