Description
Taking Stakes in the Unknown: Tracing Post-Black Art By Nana Adusei-Poku The term post-black was first introduced to the art world in 2001, at a survey exhibition curated by Thelma Golden. This concept has since become a subject of interest and debate among artists, curators, and scholars. In this book, Nana Adusei-Poku explores the socio-historical and cultural context of post-black art, examining the works of artists such as Mark Bradford, Leslie Hewitt, Mickalene Thomas, Hank Willis Thomas, and Philip Metz. Adusei-Poku's analysis delves into the present legacy and past potential of this concept, shedding light on its significance in contemporary art. By expanding the scope of the definition to include Black German artist Philip Metz, she provides a nuanced understanding of post-black as a cultural and artistic movement. Through her research, Adusei-Poku offers a thought-provoking examination of the intersections between art, identity, and culture. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary art, cultural studies, or the complexities of racial identity.
