Talk and Talk Back Gallery Discussion
Location:
Special Exhibition Galleries, Wieland Pavilion, High Museum
Join artist Jefferson Pinder as he leads a gallery discussion focusing on his new video work featured in the After 1968 exhibition.
Jefferson Pinder, born 1970, is a visual and performance artist who primarily uses video to examine the subjectivity of being an African American in an increasingly fragmented contemporary society. Pinder describes his art practice as mining the media. By sifting, cutting and slicing through contemporary media and popular culture, he isolates pieces of information that he later reconstructs to form a history, narrative or story. Pinder’s work explores how conflicted the truth of identity surrounding representations of African Americans remains.
