- Book Synopsis
- Mark Bradford's expansive artistic practice is firmly rooted in the dynamics of movement within the prism of racial identity. It embodies an unyielding quest for liberation, where the ceaseless rhythms of bodies become both a testament to oppression and an assertion of resilience. Through textured canvases, satirical videos, and sculptural installations imbued with layers of history and social critique, Bradford disrupts established narratives, urging contemplation on the intricate interplay of identity and societal frameworks. Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of Los Angeles, his art transcends aesthetics to probe deeply into the socio-political terrain, fostering a profound dialogue on the complexities inherent in contemporary society. This is the eighth in a series of publications accompanying solo exhibitions of contemporary artists at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart. It comprises a curatorial essay by Sam Bardaouil, an interview with Mark Bradford, and a compilation of selected text excerpts from previous exhibition catalogues on the artist. Text in English and German.
