Adam Pendleton: An Abstraction - Adam Pendleton

\nNew abstract works by Adam Pendleton that expand the language of Black Dada, both visually and spatially\n \nThrough his dynamic paintings and text-based works, Black Dada pioneer Adam Pendleton (born 1984) continually focuses on the intersection between Blackness, abstraction and the avant-garde. An Abstraction is both a document and an evolution of Pendleton's first solo show at Pace's New York gallery in 10 years, epitomizing his [fight] for the right to exist in and through abstraction. Comprised of 12 paintings and 13 drawings from the artist's Black Dada and Untitled (Days) bodies of work, hanging within a monumental, site-specific architecture consisting of five black triangular forms, An Abstraction reorders the gallery into new, unexpected spaces. Each new work also features a typographic letter from the phrase Black Dada, thus creating a new pictorial language for the movement.\n
