Currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Villalongo is also a professor at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York. One of his areas of study is the "Black Pulp" phenomenon over the past century. In 2016, Villalongo co-curated the traveling exhibition Black Pulp! with Mark Thomas Gibson.[1] Early life and educationVillalongo was born in Hollywood, Florida, to a Puerto Rican father and African-American mother.[1] His parents separated when he was a young child and he raised in Bridgeton, New Jersey with his older sisters.[1] Villalongo received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1999.[5] He furthered his education by receiving his Masters in Fine Art from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in 2001.[2] InfluencesVillalongo typically focuses in his works on the politics of historical erasure, particularly involving an artistic reassessment of Western, American, and African Art histories.[1][3] The artist states that his intention toward these reassessments evolves in part from the West's histories of "taking African art objects and placing them on the side of the sofa to decorate, although that is not their purpose. We are obsessed with fitting a narrative, a story."[1] His works engage with the black body, examining the ways in which the physical body coheres, among the influences of socialization, history, occupation, dress, and speech. In many of his portraits, bodies emerge from "a tumult of white negative space cut out of black velour paper", in ways that evoke leaves, branches,[4] feathers, or slashes.[5] Villalongo is also influenced by Pablo Picasso, who incorporated African masks into his primitivist works,[12] and Aaron Douglas who he credits as inspiring him.[6] Villalongo reexamines the power dynamics of history and representation in his own pieces. "It's problematic and interesting, and I wanted to think about how to use it and tell a story."[12] Professional careerWilliam Villalongo is an Assistant Professor at The Cooper Union School of Art.[7] He is represented by Susan Inglett Gallery, New York,[8] where he has had at least five solo shows.[9] Exhibitions and public collectionsVillalongo has exhibited throughout the United States. His solo exhibitions include the University of Connecticut Contemporary Art Galleries;[10][11] Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery at University of the Arts Philadelphia; Scarfone-Hartley Gallery at the University of Tampa, Florida,[12] and the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts and Culture in Charlotte, North Carolina.[13] His work was included in a major gift to the permanent collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2018 by collector Peggy Cooper Cafritz.[14] Villalongo is one of 42 artists who contributed works to a record-setting Sotheby's auction in support of the construction of a new building for the Studio Museum, to be located on 125th Street.[15][16] Villalongo has been featured in group exhibitions there and at El Museo del Barrio in New York City;[17] the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina;[18][19] and the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland,[20] and Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York City.[21] He has also had work published in ESOPUS 22.[22][23] The artist has also completed residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York;[24] Studio-f at the University of Tampa, Florida; the Hermitage Artist Retreat; and, the Fountainhead in Miami, Florida.[25] Curatorial work: Black Pulp!In 2016, Villalongo co-curated Black Pulp!, a traveling exhibition of nearly a century's worth of Black image production by Black publishers, Black artists and by non-Black artists, with fellow artist Mark Thomas Gibson.[26] The exhibition was named for pulp, a cheap paper that was used to inexpensively print newspapers, books, leaflets, and other printed ephemera in the 19th and 20th centuries and consequently made mass communication possible.[27] During these centuries, the images of African-Americans that appeared in pulp publications produced and distributed by white Americans were racist.[27] As a consequence, "black pulp" was used by black communities to combat these racist portrayals and to facilitate communication within and about black identity.[27] Black Pulp! presented black pulp media from the Harlem Renaissance and its succeeding decades that offered up "windows into the darker, erotic, satirical, and more absurd recesses of the Black popular imagination; while underscoring important debates around personhood and identity."[26] The collection of works, wrote William Villalongo in the exhibition's catalogue, "highlight[ed] historical efforts within the medium to rebuff derogatory image culture with exceptional wit, beauty, and humor, to provide emerging, nuanced perspective on black humanity."[27] In a 2016 interview for The Huffington Post, Villalongo expressed his hope that the exhibition would allow people to "see an expanded view of the Black subject in general, but also the complex and immense challenge of historical efforts of Black folk to own and steward their own image."[28] A large portion of the historical works and print media displayed in the exhibition came from collections at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Library of Congress, the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library at Emory University, EBay, and the personal collections of Villalongo and Gibson.[28]Black Pulp! garnered critical attention, particularly because of its focus and attention to black experience and identity.[29][30][31]Awards
