“People would go to church after a Saturday lynching and they could never see the disconnection or connection.” - Betye Saar I've Got Rhythm, 1972 Betye Saar b. 1926 "… assemblage became a language of protest and renewal during a period of social rupture" - Sixties Surreal #ArtSky #BlackSky

Short description: a working metronome has an old photo of white USians attending the lynching of a Black USian. A figure of a burned Black man with a noose atop US flag beats time back and forth, a front panel of newspaper clippings has headlines showing lynchings More info: In the functioning metronome of “I’ve Got Rhythm,” Saar has placed a skeleton-like spirit on top of the American flag, ticking along. Inside of the musical structure are newspaper clippings; circled in red, it reads: “Negro lynched after refusing to dance on white’s command.” “People would go to church after a Saturday lynching and they could never see the disconnection or connection,” Saar explains. ...the metronome ticks — an ominous beat signaling impending doom.
