Tidal locking, 2019 05:00 min. Single-channel video streamed online Courtesy of the artist and Nina Johnson, Miami  Observations: Selected Works by Jamilah Sabur is a free, online exhibition of video works by Jamaica-born, Miami-based artist Jamilah Sabur.  Sabur is an artist whose practice spans various disciplines including installation, performance, and video. In this exhibition, the artist's video works are a collision of how we view time, culture, heritage, place, and space. Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter. Similarly, Sabur's work utilizes a more conceptual approach to observation whereby the human body and all of its associated senses becomes a telescope in search of universality. By applying such a methodology, the distant feels more familiar and attainable.  Observations is organized by Taras W. Matla, associate director. Major support is provided by the Dorothy and Nicholas Orem Exhibition Fund. Generous support is provided by the Maryland State Arts Council. Additional support is provided by the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora.

Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter.

Tidal locking, 2019 05:00 min. Single-channel video streamed online Courtesy of the artist and Nina Johnson, Miami  Observations: Selected Works by Jamilah Sabur is a free, online exhibition of video works by Jamaica-born, Miami-based artist Jamilah Sabur.  Sabur is an artist whose practice spans various disciplines including installation, performance, and video. In this exhibition, the artist's video works are a collision of how we view time, culture, heritage, place, and space. Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter. Similarly, Sabur's work utilizes a more conceptual approach to observation whereby the human body and all of its associated senses becomes a telescope in search of universality. By applying such a methodology, the distant feels more familiar and attainable.  Observations is organized by Taras W. Matla, associate director.

In this exhibition, the artist's video works are a collision of how we view time, culture, heritage, place, and space. Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter. Similarly, Sabur's work utilizes a more conceptual approach to observation whereby the human body and all of its associated senses becomes a telescope in search of universality.

In this exhibition, the artist's video works are a collision of how we view time, culture, heritage, place, and space. Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter.

In this exhibition, the artist's video works are a collision of how we view time, culture, heritage, place, and space. Sabur frequently references language and landscape to depict the relationship between memory, community, and belonging. A key influence on Subur's practice is the groundbreaking approach Galileo Galilei took with respect to observational astronomy. Galilei attempted to change the acceptable ways of thinking about matter and its motion by pursuing a unified theory of matter. Similarly, Sabur's work utilizes a more conceptual approach to observation whereby the human body and all of its associated senses becomes a telescope in search of universality. By applying such a methodology, the distant feels more familiar and attainable.  Observations is organized by Taras W. Matla, associate director.
