Description
Through the fabrication of iconic, yet purposefully clumsy, fragile, hand-built referential pop-art objects, Supplement Archive reflects the artists’ attempt to fictionalize a more cohesive, multi-vocal narrative of black culture while refusing to concretize essentialist notions of identity into fixed indestructible, constructs. Supplement Archive moves conversations of “culture” into a fictionalized space where nostalgia and memory acts as a proxy to unknown genealogy, cultural property and/or a decidedly opaque personal history. Note: These works were featured in a pop-up show during Miami Art Basel 2019 entitled #WhoOwnsBlackArt? Which was covered in the New York Times and The Boston Globe (which mentioned the works specifically), among other publications.
