Working only with black and white for our project 1.1 reminded me of the artist Adam Pendleton.


Adam Pendleton is a conceptual artist from Richmond, Virginia, and his practice ranges from painting, silkscreen, collage, video and even performance. He is a young artist still in his 30s, but his works have been acknowledged and were shown in MoMA, the Whitney, the Tate Modern and many other places. He was also featured twice in Forbes’ 30 under 30 list.

His works rearrange words, forms and images and provoke reflections on cultural movements of the past like Dadaism and the Black Arts Movement. In his exploration of social cultural movement, he defined the term “Black Dada,” which he explains to be “about radical juxtapositions, i.e. bringing voices together in a way that disrupts easy logic and established history.”
