Talk and Talk Back: Gallery Talk with Adam Pendleton

Join Adam Pendleton as he leads a gallery discussion focusing on works in his Black Dada series.

Adam Pendleton, born 1980, is an artist, writer and performer who creates multidisciplinary works investigating historical moments, language, and images. Engaging traditions of appropriation and conceptualism, Pendleton often adapts images from popular culture and lines from modern African American literature and music, silk-screening them onto monochromatic canvases. By stripping teimages of their original context, he invigorates their meaning, shifting them into an area of artistic inwhere cultural-political meanings—what is heritage, what is history, what is self-fashioned—are all questioned.
