The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a practical instrument that also beautifies your outdoor space. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson's flair for invention, this unique device uses a float and lever design to measure up to 7" of rain in 0.2" increments. As rain fills the vial, the red ball rises, causing the steel arm to climb up the scale. This updated model features a more durable design and includes a solid steel deck mount and foundation rod.

Standing just over 24" tall, the Jumbo Outdoor Thermometer is the easy-to-read device that displays the temperature on both sides, in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Its oversized numerals make it easy to read from several feet away. The center column of mercury-free red fluid is magnified by its round tube for greater visibility. Includes hardware and reversible brackets for easy mounting virtually anywhere.

Inspired by our third President's affinity for invention, the Jeffersonian Wind Vane is an elegant addition to any outdoor space. When the wind blows, its aluminum cups gently sweep around this two-toned kinetic wind vane, causing the arms to rise and point to the relative wind speed. At the same time, the brass arrow gently turns to face the direction of the wind. Makes a great gift for science and weather buffs.

In book form, Kitchen Table is more intimate. Unlike the experience of meandering through a museum, stepping back to appreciate the images and nearing the text panels to skim them, the pace of exploration is now in a persons hands. -Hilary Moss, New York TimesThis publication is dedicated solely to the early and canonical body of work by American artist Carrie Mae Weems (born 1953). The 20 photographs and 14 text panels that make up Kitchen Table Series tell a story of one womans life, as conducted in the intimate setting of her kitchen. The kitchen, one of the primary spaces of domesticity and the traditional domain of women, frames her story, revealing to us her relationships-with lovers, children, friends-and her own sense of self, in her varying projections of strength, vulnerability, aloofness, tenderness and solitude.As Weems describes it, this work of art depicts the battle around the family . monogamy . and between the sexes. Weems herself is the protagonist of the series, though the woman she depicts is an archetype. Kitchen Table Series seeks to reposition and reimagine the possibility of women and the possibility of people of color, and has to do with, in the artists words, unrequited love.

Carrie Mae Weems: The Hampton Project brings together photographs from Frances B. Johnston's stunning Hampton Album of 1900 with a related series of images by renowned contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems. This remarkable book examines the work of two women, distanced by time and race, yet joined by their shared interest in a unique educational experience.For twenty years, Carrie Mae Weems has made powerful artwork--often with a fiercely ironic sensibility—from complex social observations. In The Hampton Project, she knits her concerns about individual identity, class, assimilation, education, and the legacy of slavery into a series of photographic banners that force viewers to reassess their own moral and ethical boundaries, as well as the political and socioeconomic realities of twentieth-century America.Weems's Hampton Project is shaped in part as a response to vintage photographs of the historically black Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) in Hampton, Virginia, and period images of African Americans and Native Americans, as well as to Frances Benjamin Johnston's celebrated Hampton Album of 1900. Her gaze is broad enough to encompass initial contacts between Anglos, African Americans, and Native Americans, the institution of slavery, the era of Jim Crow, the civil rights conflicts of the twentieth century, and the land claim disputes of the present. Weems's ultimate focus, however, is her response to the philosophy of Hamptons's founder, and to historic and contemporary intersections of race, education, and the democratic ideal.

Kitchen Table Series is the first publication dedicated solely to this early and important body of work by the American artist Carrie Mae Weems. The 20 photographs and 14 text panels that make up Kitchen Table Series tell a story of one woman’s life, as conducted in the intimate setting of her kitchen. The kitchen, one of the primary spaces of domesticity and the traditional domain of women, frames her story, revealing to us her relationships―with lovers, children, friends―and her own sense of self, in her varying projections of strength, vulnerability, aloofness, tenderness and solitude. As Weems describes it, this work of art depicts "the battle around the family ... monogamy ... and between the sexes." Weems herself is the protagonist of the series, though the woman she depicts is an archetype. Kitchen Table Series seeks to reposition and reimagine the possibility of women and the possibility of people of color, and has to do with, in the artist’s words, "unrequited love." Carrie Mae Weems (born 1953) is considered one of the most influential contemporary American artists. In a career spanning over 30 years, she has investigated family relationships, cultural identity, sexism, class, political systems and the consequences of power. Weems’ complex body of art employs photographs, text, fabric, audio, digital images, installation and video. Weems has received numerous awards, grants and fellowships, including the prestigious MacArthur "Genius" grant and the Prix de Roma. She is represented in public and private collections around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

It was inevitable. People came. The pull of the lush green peninsula was inescapable. Bound by the waters of Carters Creek and the Rappahannock River the rich soil and plentiful marine life created an ideal state. A community of people believing in their own brand of success would take hold. Their endurance as well as their faith would be tested. This is a collection of local individuals' treasured memories and memorabilia. It is a chronicle about people living and working together over many decades to form a kinship of the rarest kind upon the rise and fall of the tide.

This exhibition catalogue features recent works by artist Carrie Mae Weems included in LSU Museum of Art’s exhibition, Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects. The exhibition focuses on the humanity denied in recent killings of black men, women, and children by police. She directs our attention to the constructed nature of racial identity―specifically, representations that associate black bodies with criminality. Through a formal language of blurred images, color blocks, stated facts, and meditative narration, Weems directs our attention toward the repeated pattern of judicial inaction. In addition to full color plates of photographic and video works included in the exhibition, the catalogue features an introductory essay by Curator Courtney Taylor and transcripts by Carrie Mae Weems from video and photographic works included in the exhibition.
