On view from February 17 to June 6, 2021, “Grief and Grievance” is an intergenerational exhibition bringing together thirty-seven artists working in a variety of mediums who have addressed the concept of mourning, commemoration, and loss as a direct response to the national emergency of racist violence experienced by Black communities across America. The exhibition further considers the intertwined phenomena of Black grief and a politically orchestrated white grievance, as each structures and defines contemporary American social and political life. Included in “Grief and Grievance” are works encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, and performance made in the last decade, along with several key historical works and a series of new commissions created in response to the concept of the exhibition.

Employed as a fulltime faculty member at Cerritos College since August 2005, I have never requested sabbatical leave during the past thirteen years of service. II. PURPOSE OF LEAVE Scientific advancements and technological capabilities, most notably within the last few decades, have evolved at ever-accelerating rates. Artists, like everyone else, now live in a contemporary world completely restructured by recent phenomena such as satellite imagery, augmented reality, digital surveillance, mass extinctions, artificial intelligence, prosthetic limbs, climate change, big data, genetic modification, drone warfare, biometrics, computer viruses, and social media (and that’s by no means meant to be an all-inclusive list).

  • In Conversation with Adam Pendleton: What Is Black Dada?
    In conversation with Adam Pendleton: What is Black Dada? Awa Konaté James Baldwin once said, ‘we used to think of history as the realm of the settled as an inalterable past, as a nightmare. That was the legacy bequeathed us by the past century’s catastrophes. But while we can never redeem what has been lost, versions of the past are forever being reconstructed in our fabrication of the present.’1 Although Baldwin enumerated these words in 1972, today’s volatile political moments and relations reminds us that the past is repeatedly embedded, and evermore so, in our present sphere. Baldwin comments on the interrelations between past and present realities as a continuum of cultural and historical notions that constitute the very materiality of our social fabric as ever persistent, suggesting the past is never past but an ongoing rupture in the present. Adam Pendleton is an artist whose unwinnable and complex layered practice is exceptionally occupied with Baldwin’s declarative statement. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Pendleton has situated the intersections of race, belonging, cultural politics and art history as varying constructions that are rearticulated and imposed in the very centre of our ‘Contemporary’ – not merely in order to inquire ‘how’ and ‘what if’ but to push the very logic that constitutes their historical and social functions. My first encounter with Adam Pendleton was his large ‘Black Lives’ banner at the Venice Biennale’s Belgian pavilion in 2015.2 The context was stupendous, the banner’s dominating and large scaled presence appeared to almost ‘devour’ the white cubed pavilion by forcing the centrality of its race relations.
