Adam Pendleton
re contextualizing language and history
Untitled (WE ARE NOT), 2021, Silkscreen ink on canvas
This week’s art selection features the work of Adam Pendleton. Adam’s work uses text and images to examine the glut of codes we negotiate and the hierarchies of power embedded in them.
“Adam Pendleton is a conceptual artist (whose) work centers on an engagement with language, in both the figurative and literal senses, and the recontextualization of history through appropriated imagery to establish alternative interpretations of the present and, as the artist has explained, “a future dynamic where new historical narratives and meanings can exist.””
