Mike Henderson: Before the Fire, 1965鈥1985 at Manetti Shrem

Through June 25, Manetti Shrem Museum

新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis Professor Emeritus Mike Henderson鈥檚 first solo U.S. museum exhibition in 20 years brings to light the pioneering artist鈥檚 rarely seen contributions to the history of contemporary painting and filmmaking, radical Black politics, and to the story of California art.

Challenging the protocols and propriety of art-making in the 20th century, these works depict scenes of anti-Black violence as well as utopian visions and questions of self-making. Curated by Sampada Aranke (Ph.D. 鈥13) and Dan Nadel.
