How we love Vaginal Davis in Zackary Drucker and Rhys Ernst's "She Gone Rogue" (2012) — reproduced from 'Witch Hunt,' published to accompany the show opening today @hammer_museum & @theicala Co-published by @delmonico_press this book is going fast! “For ‘Witch Hunt,’ Davis has taken up the subject of her mother, a Black Creole lesbian who moved to Los Angeles from Louisiana as part of the Great Migration of Blacks from the Southern states,” Nika Chilewich writes. “A feminist ahead of her time, she also possessed supernatural powers, according to the artist, and became increasingly radicalized as part of her involvement in a female separatist society. For the exhibition, Davis has created a sound installation and a series of paintings and objects that weave together childhood memories and impressions of her mother—sewing dresses for Vaginal and surrounding her with lesbian uncles, ‘old school proper butches,’ with archival research that Davis has conducted.” Foreword by Ann Philbin. Text by Connie Butler, Anne Ellegood.
