October Nkisi Activation Events
Fine Arts Amphitheater with CADVC
CADVC will host periodic activation events of Oletha DeVane's Nkisi Woman-Universal Woman outdoor sculpture in October.
During these free events, led by guest facilitators, attendees are invited to energize the sculpture by adding beads to its surface. Dates and guest facilitators include:
Thursday, 10/6, noon: Nicole Kozjar
Saturday, 10/8, 3pm: Camille Ollivierre
Saturday, 10/29, 3pm: Camille Ollivierre
Please feel welcome to join with your friends and family.
The nkisi is a Kongo cultural figure invested with sacred energy, and this sculpture will catalyze communion and community-building. The work reflects DeVane's fascination with how materials convey meaning and reemerge as myths and memories.
Oletha DeVane: Spectrum of Light and Spirit is organized by curator Lowery Stokes Sims and is supported by the Maryland State Arts Council and Baltimore County Commission on Arts and Sciences.
See our website for details about the exhibition and related programs.

Featuring nearly 100 artworks, this first retrospective of celebrated Maryland artist Oletha DeVane traces DeVane's extensive career, from her early paintings and works on paper to more recent video artworks and interactive sculpture.
A prolific artist, wayfinder and storyteller, DeVane has spent decades learning and making art about the most profound phenomena of our human condition: spirituality, mythology, and transformative experience, including experiences of hardship. Over the last five decades, as she traveled in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, she became inspired by the stories and characters she encountered. Her artwork brings the unexpected to light, while finding new nuances in the old and familiar, and surprising intersections among those cultures.
A highlight of the exhibition is a large-scale carved sculpture, "Nkisi Woman-Universal Nkisi" (2021-22), which will be activated over the course of the exhibition by visitors who are invited to add beads to its surface. The nkisi is a Kongo cultural figure invested with sacred energy, and this sculpture will catalyze communion and community-building. The work reflects DeVane's fascination with how materials convey meaning and reemerge as myths and memories.
The exhibition also celebrates Oletha DeVane's collaborative activities. Her long-standing collaboration with poet and media personality Tadia Rice, Beyond Bars: Prison Women Speak, will be updated for the exhibition in the form of new video works.
"Oletha DeVane: Spectrum of Light and Spirit" is organized by curator Lowery Stokes Sims and is supported by the Maryland State Arts Council and Baltimore County Commission on Arts and Sciences.

EVENT UPDATE
Due to weather the Livewire event at the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park was cut short on Saturday. It is now rescheduled for Sunday, 10/24 at 4 pm.
UMBC's Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership 20th Anniversary Celebration and
Arboretum, by Robert Morris, Performed by UMBC's RUCKUS & Music Department,
A UMBC Livewire Event
On Sunday, October 24th the campus will host UMBC's annual new music festival, Livewire. At 4 pm, RUCKUS, the new music ensemble-in-residence, will be joined by additional faculty and student performers to present a special performance of Robert Morris’s Arboretum.
Arboretum is a concert-length work designed as an immersive experience. Performers move around the Sculpture Park as they play, and audience members are encouraged to move as well, changing their perspective on the work over its duration. The composer describes this work as “slowly unfolding... the experience of this music is like watching sunsets, clouds passing, or sea changes.”
The event also marks the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership at UMBC and in Baltimore.
A limited number of grass mats will be provided. Feel free to bring your own blanket, lawn chairs, and picnic to enjoy among the crunch of the fall leaves. This event is free and open to the public.
Find maps, directions, and learn more at cadvc.umbc.edu/beuys.
This event is curated by Sandra Abbott and Daniel Pesca and presented through a partnership between UMBC’s Music Department, Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, and the Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership. The Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park is supported in part through the generosity of Nature Sacred (naturesacred.org). CADVC’s programs are supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council and Baltimore County Commission on Arts and Sciences.
