MOCA Jacksonville presents”Neither I, Nor Time, Nor History” by artist Jeremy Dean, a multimedia exhibition of sculpture, film, and historic ephemera that unearths the racial foundations underpinning modern America. The exhibition is on view through May 16, 2021.

“”Neither I, Nor Time, Nor History” invites viewers to consider our present and our history, side by side,” said Senior Curator Ylva Rouse. ”His installation speaks to the idea that there is an unseen structure that is propping up our system of racial inequity, that must be dismantled before we can enact change.”

“Racism is about structure, architecture and infrastructure,” Jeremy Dean said. “By exposing this unconsidered part of the monument that sits below the earth, and combining it with other material, this work speaks to the largely unseen foundational systems that continue to perpetuate racial inequalities-of which these monuments are only a symptom.”

His sculpture series ”Fundament” presents original stereoview photographs from the 1880s of St. Augustine, the oldest city in America, and the surrounding area including the Slave Market, cotton fields, and Black homesteads. These images are mounted on fragments from the underground foundation of the recently removed Confederate Monument in St. Augustine, which served as a pivotal battleground for activists during the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition also includes the three-channel video installation titled “This Innocent Country” which juxtaposes historical images from beach desegregation protests in 1964 with idyllic images promoting Florida tourism from around the same time period, against recent footage featuring surfer Gigi Lucas, founder of SurfearNEGRA, a nonprofit established in 2018 to introduce cultural and gender diversity to the sport. In the MOCA Theater, a film by Dean will be screened throughout the duration of the exhibition which features rarely seen footage of Civil Rights protests in Florida. The footage was provided by the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives at Miami Dade College and the State Archive of Florida.
