Ch. 26: He’s
a Magik Men
September 5 – October 12, 2013
8 East 76th
Street
New York,
NY
Tilton
Gallery is pleased to present Noel Anderson’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.
Anderson utilizes
a diverse range of mediums (painting, photography, printmaking, and woven
tapestries) to express a critical perspective on black masculinity. Added to
the mix are performance works based on a figurative book entitled Mascuminity with black male performers
acting out the chapters.
The materiality
and presentation of the works in Ch. 26:
He’s a Magik Men echo the historically physical performance of (and by)
black male bodies as athletes and victims of lynching.
The historical
relationships between painting, photography, printmaking, and tapestries, the
metaphorical concerns of modernist geometry, and the synonymity of
image-identity construction are among Anderson’s thematic approaches in extending
the edges of discourse on black maleness through the process of association.
