Mark Bradford Will Represent U.S. at Venice Biennale

It’s #FlashBackFriday, and we want to dedicate this one to Mark Bradford, whom we exhibited here at the Fisher Museum as part of our Mixed Feelings exhibition in 2002.

Flash-forward today, we are thrilled to hear that Mark Bradford has been chosen as the United States’ representative to the 57th Venice Biennale, opening in May 2017. The United States pavilion, featuring Bradford’s work, will be organized by Christopher Bedford, director of the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, which was chosen by the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to be the commissioning institution for the exhibition.

Congratulations, Mr. Bradford!

Saw the Kara Walker Exhibit at USC today with silk_kittenn & I highly recommend it. Walker’s work explores Black American history, and she uses silhouettes, historic illustrations, classic mythology and much more to create her vision. Sobering & arresting artwork from one of the greats 🤘☮️

Ayeee, got a Paint Night Tonight for my Black Trojan family! A couple years ago, I had my exhibition "Black Girl Blues," but for this project, I was tasked with visually expressing the other end of the spectrum - Black JOY! I'm so excited for you all to see the image you'll be recreating. We will be at the Fisher Museum of Art from 6pm to 8pm 😆 So thankful to the Most High Yah for this opportunity! Fight On, and all glory goes to God. 💯 I hope to see y'all there.

How the pandemic has affected my art practice:⁠
During this pandemic, I found it that I have had more time to live with my art practice. So, I’ve been able to give and pay more attention to the paintings I’ve worked on. Also in this pandemic, I have been able to witness and experience the many social ills that we humans create and a lot of it has made for some great content to be used in my works.⁠
⁠
A short statement about included pieces:⁠
In this painting, No Man’s Land, I’ve painted a particular corner of the LA inner city, where we call the cornfields. This area is mostly a commercial zone so there really doesn’t exist a residential neighborhood but there once was a thriving community that existed when the Tongva people used to call this area their home. I’ve also painted Bird/God (tengu) characters attacking a coyote on this street corner. In this painting, I wanted to capture the idea of evolution and the idea of time. I feel all the fighting, struggles, competition, and dominance that all life on this planet is constantly practicing make up natural evolution.⁠
