‘Black Gooey Universe’

“Where does the black screen reside?” American Artist explores form-(less)-ness in Black Gooey Universe at HOUSING, Jan 26 – Feb 16

24 January 2018

American Artist presents solo exhibition Black Gooey Universe at New York’s HOUSING opening January 26 and running to February 16. 

Working across video, writing, installation and other new media, the interdisciplinary artist explores “dialectics formalized in Black radicalism and organized labor into a context of networked virtual life” and seeks to reveal dynamics at play and embedded in technology and contemporary culture.

Also a co-founder of the arts and politics publication UNBAG, American Artist first wrote a text for Issue 2: End titled ‘Black gooey Universe’ which seeks what that might be, perhaps “a planar body that longs for the solitude and vastness of the command-line, yet nuanced and sharp, to usurp and destroy a contemporary hegemonic interface.” Exploring form(less)-ness, they ask, “where does the black screen reside? “
