Derek Fordjour: Magic, Mystery & Legerdemain documents Fordjour's debut exhibition with the gallery and features texts by Taylor Bythewood-Porter and Uri McMillan, with a conversation between the artist and writer / director Numa Perrier. The catalogue, like the exhibition it documents, provides multifaceted forum in which Fordjour explores magic as it relates to power, race, and a myriad of illusions throughout American history. This exciting new publication unfolds in two distinct directions: begin from one lush velvet cover to reveal the exhibition and artwork images; flip to the opposite cover to be taken through The Legend of Black Herman, a live magic show that ran alongside the exhibition.
