This groundbreaking exhibition is the first comprehensive survey of performance art by black artists working from the perspective of the visual arts from the 1960s to the present.
The Struggle for Happiness, or What Is American about Black Dada
Adam Pendleton’s concept of "Black Dada"—which has guided his art making practice—melds references from LeRoi Jones's 1964 poem "Black Dada Nihilismus" and Hugo Ball's "Dada Manifesto" of 1916. To give context to Pendleton's work in the exhibition I am you, you are too, we share an essay byWalker Curator at Large Adrienne Edwards from the "overwhelmingly American assemblage" that is Pendleton's Black Dada Reader.
