"Gary Simmons: Ghost Reels" is on view in our lobby stairwell Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thur 12-8pm 〰 Mining the iconography of American popular culture, Simmons’s work addresses personal and collective experiences of race and class. For "Ghost Reels", Simmons created a text-based work consisting of names of African American actors and actresses from the early days of silent film. The artist describes the installation, whose format recalls the scrolling of closing film credits frozen in mid-motion, as invoking “the memories of actors that have been blurred in the history of Hollywood film . . . a kind of silence in both voice and visibility.” 〰 #Repost dieudonnepaper ・・・ Gary Simmons' spectacular Ghost Reels at drawingcenter #garysimmons #walldrawing
