For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource The Alchemist’s Notebook: The Satire, Remixes, and Haunts of Black Kirby Description An account of the resource Suspend your disbelief with me for a moment. Imagine the alchemists at work in their lair. Watch as they use a set of rusty tools to handle raw, crude materials and melt them down to more malleable forms. As they carefully mix the isolated substances together, listen as they whisper a forgotten tongue from a dusty leather-bound notebook. When the ritual is over and the notebook has been cast aside into the shadows, you witness the substance start to stir. As it twists and turns in the immense heat, you smell the stench of a hot fusion that breathes life into a new creation, indeed a new element, that has never existed before. This new element is the art of Black Kirby, and this exhibition provides a peek into their notebook of esoteric spells. Black Kirby—the pseudonym assumed by the acclaimed visual artists and professors John Jennings and Stacey Robinson—are Alchemists. They take raw materials from black history, hip hop, and comic book mythology and remix them to create new universes, never-before seen technologies, and biting satires about the world we live in today. Each of the Black Kirby images serves as a funky rare artifact from an alternate universe, fully formed, and autonomous from its earthly origins. However, sourced from the Archives Research Center collections, this exhibition investigates these origins by patching together the real-world historical influences eluded to in Black Kirby’s pieces. While the list of the full ingredients in Black Kirby’s cauldron remains a tightly guarded secret, a glimpse in the alchemist’s notebook will help illustrate the historical narratives and traditions in conversation with their work.

Chaplain Robert E. Penn, Office of the Chaplain, 823rd Engineer Battalion (Avn), APO 689 Dear Chaplain Penn: The subject matter of your letter of June 5th is not unknown at this Headquarters. You will be glad to hear that very definite steps have been taken. One thousand colored troops are being shipped from the United States during the months of May, June and July. The majority of these will be used as replacements for your men, who are to be shipped back to the United States. You can assure those who come to see you that positive action has been taken, and that replacements are on the way. That ought to be good news for them. Obviously, it will take some time for these replacements to arrive here, so it may be three months before they will actually be relieved. If I were assured I would be going home in three months, I do not think I would feel like grumbling. I pass this information to you for what it’s worth. Assure your men that their officers and this Headquarters are doing everything to help them, and that they are not “forgotten men”. Hoping to meet you in the near future, I remain. Cordially yours, s/Patrick E. Nolan t/PATRICK E. NOLAN, Chaplain, U.S.A. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
