About this episode
Pulling from a wide range of mediums including collage, painting, writing, printmaking, video, and publishing, Adam Pendleton utilizes language as his primary tool, recontextualizing appropriated imagery to shed light on underrepresented historical narratives. He is particularly interested in social resistance and avant-garde artistic movements and has synthesized a variety of practices under the rubric of "Black Dada,” a term borrowed from the poet Amiri Baraka. This year Pendleton will present Who Is Queen , a major new project in the atrium of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Pendleton and Zuckerman discuss preventing unnecessary distraction, the fact and shape of time, the urgency of art, being a curious being, chaos as a means of meaning making, historical mashups, the regression of social interaction, the responsibility of living, what do you do with your life, art in America, and what he feels good about! *** This episode is brought to you by Kelly Klee private insurance .
