 Ik ben zelf nog niet naar de tentoonstelling gaan kijken maar kreeg volgende tip van Carina Diepens, docent textiel: Kara Walkers in De Pont, Tilburg In the exhibition A Black Hole Is Everything a Star Longs to Be, Kara Walker (1969, USA) opens her private archives containing more than 600 drawings that she has carefully kept hidden from the outside world for the past twenty-eight years. De Pont is presenting these unknown treasures, along with brand new works and a series of animation films, in Walker's first major solo exhibition in the Netherlands. Walker, who initially caused a sensation with large-scale silhouette cut-outs, is one of the best-known American artists at the moment. In provocative and obscene, but aesthetically pleasing works on paper executed with extraordinary technical finesse, she portrays racism, gender, sexuality and violence. For Walker, drawing and the written word are the perfect vehicles for satire and caricature, for pamphletism and subversion and for the movement of the imagination. With subjects ranging from the American history of enslavement to the presidency of Barack Obama, she challenges the viewer to question established views and deeply ingrained myths. Fearless in her analyses, she investigates the origins of collective self images as well as her own identity. Larry Gagosian is de oprichter van de galerij Gagosian, 1 van de grootste ter wereld. In dit interview in de Financial Times geeft hij een inkijk in zijn huis en de meesterwerken die er hangen.

Verwacht geen diepzinnige reflecties maar wel heel veel beelden. Kijk hiernaar want dat is echt iconisch voor die tijd!
