In an interview with artist Rashid Johnson, The Creators Project's Antwaun Sargent discusses Johnson's installation "Anxious Men". On view through December 20. Excerpt: "The site-specific installation considers this contradiction of hope and despair through through the decades. “We are always considering, as time passes, that the world is becoming a better place, and although I do share that optimism, I do think that we don’t take into account that although we made significant strides in race and human relations, we are still negotiating dark spaces,” says Johnson. “The photograph of my father as a man in transition in 1977, and me so many years later making these portraits of men in distress creates a dichotomy that allows you to traffic in the complexity of how time passes.” Go to thecreatorsproject.vice.com for the full interview. #RashidJohnson creators_project sirsargent Image: Rashid Johnson, Untitled Anxious Men, detail, 2015.
