Open letter protesting Tate’s censorship of a Black woman artist

 

Context

 

In 2017, artist Jade Montserrat first blew the whistle on Tate donor Anthony d’Offay by circulating a selfie he sent to her which showed him holding a racist doll. The sending of this image was part of a wider, long-term pattern of abuse. In the years since, Tate have compounded this harm by refusing to acknowledge that their engagement with d’Offay makes them complicit in laundering his reputation. Tate have met Jade’s concerns either with silence or oblique public statements on their relationship with d’Offay: a process of  institutional gaslighting which has caused a huge amount of trauma.

 

Tate quietly announced that they had ‘agreed to end their relationship’ with d’Offay on 4 September 2020, specifying that his name would be removed from all public signage at Tate. This followed the initial short-lived ‘cutting of ties’ with d’Offay between January 2018 and January 2019. This new development does not erase the fact that Tate have actively allowed their international standing to be used as an institutional shield, protecting d’Offay’s legacy over and above the women who came forward with accounts of his abuse. Tate’s carefully worded legal statement offers no assurance, accountability, or transparency. 


 

Censorship of Jade Montserrat 

 

A statement of solidarity by the curatorial team of A Rumour of Waves was released last week, detailing their withdrawal from working on A Year of Love with Tate Exchange in response to Tate’s attempt to censor Jade Montserrat. After 6 months of Jade being named in writing in the programme, first as artist then as co-curator, Tate suddenly escalated their ongoing mistreatment of her by attempting  to block her involvement. It was then specifically and repeatedly stated that Tate would not work with Jade.

 

Tate’s reasoning was given off-record at their own request, and was unsubstantiated and inconsistent. Tate and Maria Balshaw characterised Jade’s calls for accountability as ‘hostile’ and cited their right to refuse to work with ‘hostile’ artists.

 

The word ‘hostile’ employs a racist trope. It is in fact Tate’s direct censorship of a Black woman artist which is an act of hostility and violence. Tate’s refusal to work with Jade has also erased the work of over 50 artists who were going to be part of this programme: they are now collateral damage in Tate’s ongoing assault against Jade. 

 

An institution choosing to censor and harm artists in order to prioritise their relationships with donors is unacceptable. 

 

Demands:

 

We protest this act of erasure and censorship against the artist Jade Montserrat. Seeking accountability and urgent change, we call for Tate to:

 

  • Issue a public apology to Jade Montserrat for their actions and the ongoing trauma they are causing, along with a full and formal acknowledgement of this erasure of a woman of colour. This must include a full and transparent public account of how they are holding themselves to their recent commitments on race equality throughout their institutional decision making.

 

  • Fully disband the Artist Rooms collection into the wider Tate collection in order to fully dismantle d’Offay’s legacy and the white male curatorial bias of the collection.

 

  • In light of the restrictive and damaging experiences of artists who have worked there, commission a full, external, artist/ curator/ writer/ art worker-led review of the function of Tate Exchange. Tate must commit to act decisively on the advice of this review. 

 

  • Build a genuinely independent and representative Ethics Committee which truly holds the institution to account. This must be capable of going beyond questions of reputational risk and Tate’s current failure to differentiate between ethics and legality. This committee must develop a new Ethics Policy which covers all areas of the institution’s activity and focuses on care of artists, workers, and the public as its constituents. 

 

  • Recognise that a Board of Trustees appointed by governments intent on commercial viability constrains Tate’s artistic mission and public responsibilities. The influence of the politics of privatisation and big business has meant that Tate’s board is motivated by financial efficiency and reputational risk rather than sustaining a genuine commitment to art, artists, and the public. Tate must lead demands for a renewal of financial support (without bias) from the state and divest from this system of creeping privatisation. 

 

By following these calls for action we hope that Tate will begin to dismantle their cycle of ethical and institutional failings. 

 

This letter is also written in solidarity with striking Tate Enterprise workers. We recognise that the mass redundancies we are seeing now are a symptom of the same major ethical failings sustaining the structural racism which has led to this mistreatment of Jade. 

 

We ask you to stand in solidarity with Jade by signing this letter and holding the institution to account.
