Cette oeuvre de Jasper Johns représentait-elle autre chose en 1958 que l'impérialisme satisfait? Sans doute... En 1990, David Hammons réplique avec "African American Flag". #artcontemporain #fondationlouisvuitton #jasperjohns #davidhammons #popart

It's funny and slightly embarrassing to revisit a CD I listened to probably well over a hundred times as a teenager and only now come to notice that it has a secret track. I'm talking about Medeski Martin and Wood's "Combustication," which I threw on after watching the recent David Hammons documentary, which features poetry and commentary by the legendary Steve Cannon. Cannon's voice and poetry likewise appear on the Combustication track "Whatever Happened to Gus."

Rambling post to eventually, belatedly say, rest in power Steve Cannon. I plan to spend some time getting to know his work better. Meanwhile, Combustication was never my favorite MMW, but mostly holds up, and "The Melt Goes on Forever: The Art and Times of David Hammons" is a good watch, despite being told mostly through the words of wealthy white gallerists and art speculators who leave a slightly tacky, rancid taste in the mouth.

David Hammons, Bliz-aard Ball Sale, 13 février 1983, Cooper Square, East Village, New York

Célèbre performance de D. Hammons, figure du Black Arts Movement, non loin de l’université Cooper Union qui délivre des diplômes d'art.
Il se glisse aux côtés de vendeurs de rue anonymes pour proposer des boules de neige qu’il a façonnées et classées par ordre de taille.
