Alex van Stipriaan, Remy’s and Marcel’s community/ties  This presentation will be focused on two artists – Remy Jungerman (1959) and Marcel Pinas (1971) – who were both born in or around the small mining town of Moengo, Suriname. Although no more than twelve years apart in age, they seem to belong to different generations in their respective careers. Nevertheless, these career paths cross with increasing frequency, and Moengo is their meeting and workplace, as well as a point of reference.

Marlon Griffith, Location and actions  Griffith says it has taken a long time as a person and artist to discover the complexities of an artwork and the resolution that lies in a simple object or gesture. Only through dialogue has Griffith been able to discover more about his work: ideas on paper and gestures which aren’t always activated immediately but may become part of wider narratives.

Petrina Dacres, Caribbean art in the present  During the 1960s art was an integral aspect of governmental policy in Jamaica. That support has dwindled over the last few decades; moreover, as governments change so too have art policies changed and projects been disrupted. In these contexts, artists and curators have created their own independent projects. Using a number of case studies, this presentation will examine several art-related initiatives in Jamaica.
