Willie Cole's "Beauties" are haunting, full-scale prints made from
crushed and hammered ironing boards, each named after a woman from the
artist's cultural and ancestral history. Cole has used irons and
ironing as central motifs in his work for 30 years, evoking everything
from African masks to slave ship diagrams to the routines of domestic
servitude. In this special installation, the gallery will be lined
wall to wall with the Beauties. Standing silently — like sentinels,
tombstones, shrouds, or windows — the prints will open a space for
confronting anew the whole range of often contradictory energies
running through them: resistance and oppression, beauty and violence,
labor and forbearance.
