Tony Bingham: Artist Talk

Join us on Saturday, February 29, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. for an artist talk with Birmingham-based Tony M Bingham. He will discuss his work, spanning two decades of practice in the Black Belt region and across the state.

The presentation is in conjunction with Memorial Meditations, an exhibition that brings together themes the artist has focused on in recent years including communion, convict labor, place, shared trauma, and “African American rural ways of memorializing.” Bingham’s research and resulting work explore communities and public space – sites of enslaved, extractive, or industrialized labor – throughout Alabama including Fairfield, Helena, Panola, Tannehill, and Titusville. Through his sculptures, large-scale photography, and found audio work, Bingham makes reference to unmarked burial sites and vernacular headstones and calls into question where, how, and who we collectively remember.

Multi-disciplinary artist Tony M. Bingham lives and works in Birmingham, AL. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including Space One Eleven, Stephen Smith Fine Arts, and upcoming, collaborative work at the Birmingham Museum of Art. Bingham currently teaches humanities and studio art at Miles College in Fairfield, Alabama.
