Images from 'member: Pope.L, 1978–2001'⠀ ⠀ Pope.L is a consummate thinker and provocateur whose practice across multiple mediums—including painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, theater and video—utilizes abjection, humor, endurance, language and absurdity to confront and undermine rigid systems of belief. Published to accompany a @themuseumofmodernart exhibition, 'member' presents a detailed study of 13 early works that helped define Pope.L’s career. Essays by curators, artists, filmmakers and art historians, plus an interview and artistic interventions by the artist, establish key details for each work and articulate how the artist continues to think about the legacy of these ephemeral projects unfolding in time. (Note the die-cut single hole punched through from cover to cover and the cropped, or cut, corner.)⠀ ⠀ Edited with text by #StuartComer @stuartcomer Text by #NaomiBeckwith #MarkHCBessire @mbessire1 #CCarr #ValerieCasselOliver #AdrienneEdwards @adynyc MalikGaines @dr.malikjulian.g #DanielleAJackson @virtuosa12 #AdrianHeathfield #EJHill @iheartbeuys #ThomasJLax #thomaslax #AndreLepecki #YvonneRainer @why80rainer #MartineSyms @martinesyms #MarthaWilson @marthawilsonartist⠀ ⠀ #blackvoicesmatter Please support #blackownedbusiness and buy from a #blackownedbookstore directly (see linkinbio for a list) or order through many of these stores via Bookshop.org⠀ ⠀ @williampopel1 #popel #performance https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBi6ykJSez/?igshid=12cydj05atorq
