Author: Pendleton, AdamThrough his dynamic paintings and text-based works, Black Dada pioneer Adam Pendleton continually focuses on the intersection between Blackness, abstraction and the avant-garde. An Abstraction is both a document and an evolution of Pendleton’s first solo show in 10 years, epitomizing his “[fight] for the right to exist in and through abstraction.” Comprised of 12 paintings and 13 drawings from the artist’s Black Dada and Untitled (Days) bodies of work, hanging within a monumental, site-specific architecture consisting of five black triangular forms, An Abstraction reorders the gallery into new, unexpected spaces. Each new work also features a typographic letter from the phrase “Black Dada,” thus creating a new pictorial language for the movement.ISBN 9781948701754.
