The first encompassing publication on the work of Adam Pendleton, one of the most formally inventive and conceptually rigorous American artists working today.
Adam Pendleton's original and powerful body of work has been described as the embodiment of a new era. His multifaceted projects, which include painting, collage, film, and publishing, re-contextualize historical and theoretical positions on abstraction, blackness, and the avant-garde. Working predominantly in black-and-white, Pendleton often creates total works' that envelop viewers and push the limits of contemporary discourse.Alec Mapes-Frances is a writer living in New York. His work has been published in Bomb, Journal of Art Criticism, and Organism for Poetic Research, among others. Adrienne Edwards is a scholar and writer, currently curator at large at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Andrea Picard is a curator and film critic based in New York and Toronto.
