• W329962611 abstract "Perspectives on Police by Bradley McCallum in collaboration with Jacqueline Tarry The deeply entrenched racism and violence of American culture make a cop's job dangerous and a civilian's life precarious, particularly if the civilian happens to be a young non-white male. As evidence one need look no further than the front-page trial of four New York Police Department (NYPD) officers who fired 41 shots at an unarmed, innocent man named Amadou Diallo. New York's grand Cathedral of St. John the Divine (known as St. John's) with its mission to serve as a sanctuary, a community center and a pulpit for healing, is a fitting venue for an art installation about a social problem as serious and tragic as police violence. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine New York, New York November 4-December 20, 1999 Brad McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry's installation Witness: Perspectives on Police Violence (1999) was produced from hundreds of hours of interviews with parents and relatives of the deceased victims, survivors, concerned lawyers and community activists and drew on the expertise of several organizations including the Center for Constitutional Rights, Parents Against Police Brutality, 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care and The National Action Network. Divided into several sections and spread throughout the vast, majestic space of St. John's, Witness provided a unique and moving forum for the issue of police violence. Along the cathedral's long dark side aisles, one encountered six distinct spaces. In this largest and most compelling section of Witness, the artists skillfully met the challenge of creating quiet, intimate spaces within the cavernous cathedral in which to convey sad and disturbing information. The viewer was required to enter--like entering a confessional--these narrow, vaulted spaces, each about three-feet wide by 10-feet long and 20-feet high in order to hear the testimonies and read the brief texts of excerpts from the testimonies and highlights of the cases on the waist-high light boxes. An individual face was projected high up on the far stone wall of each space. At first glance the images seemed to be still photographs. The calm faces appeared motionless until you noticed that the eyes occasionally blinked and realized that each face belonged to a voice on the tapes--a successful alternative to the talking head that so often turns the viewer into a passive voyeur. The articulate voices related personal accounts of police brutality inflicted on their friends, family and community members. All of the victims were non-white males and almost all were under the age of 30, with one just 13 years old. They included transit officer Desmond Robinson, who, while pursuing a possible felon, was shot five times in the back by an off-duty NYPD officer who mistook him for the suspect; Nicholas Heyward Jr., age 13, and Yong Xin Huang, age 16, shot and killed in separate incidents for holding weapons that turned out to be a toy gun and a BB gun, respectively (one of the light boxes displayed Heyward Jr.'s toy gun); Annibal Carras-quillo, shot and killed for allegedly assuming an apparent combat stance; Anthony Rosario Jr. and Hilton Vega, both shot and killed while lying face down; Anthony Baez, at the time playing football in front of his home, killed by Officer Francis Livoti's choke hold. All of the cases went through the Civilian Complaint Review Board and two were settled, but most are still pending or action has yet to be taken by the NYPD. As several of the victims' parents are working with organizations like the ones previously mentioned to end police brutality, it would have been beneficial to learn more about their activist efforts and how the survivors of police brutality are fighting back. …" @default.
