David Boxer is an artist and director emeritus and chief curator of Jamaica’s National Gallery. Through exhibitions, publications, and his own artistic practice, he has played a central role in the history of Jamaican art. He has published on various aspects of Jamaican art, but most notably on Edna Manley, the Intuitives and, recently, Jamaican photography. Publications include the monograph Edna Manley: Sculptor (1990) and the survey Modern Jamaican Art (1998), which he coauthored with Veerle Poupeye. He has curated most of the National Gallery of Jamaica’s exhibitions since 1975, including the groundbreaking “Five Centuries of Art in Jamaica” (1975), the first historical survey of Jamaican art, and “The Intuitive Eye” (1979), from which the term intuitive was derived. As an artist, Boxer has exhibited widely in Jamaica and in major international exhibitions such as the 1996 Sao Paulo Biennial and the Havana Biennials of 1986 and 1997. Painting, collage, and installation art have been central to Boxer’s creative life. In the late 1980s he began his Memories of Colonization collage cycles. The latest development is the movement from declamatory triptychs (there were six triptychs created between 1995 and 1997, four of which were destroyed) to dialogues, which are featured in the present issue of Small Axe.
