Howardena Pindell: Rope/Fire/Water
Edited with text by Adeze Wilford. Text by Howardena Pindell, Ashley James, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Alex Poots.
Since the beginning of her creative career in the 1970s, American artist and curator Howardena Pindell (born 1943) has been planning the titular film at the core of this volume. The film, an examination of the history of lynching and state-sanctioned violence in the United States, is placed in conversation with a selection of abstract and thematic paintings from Pindell’s oeuvre, highlighting the dichotomy between these two elements of her work. An interview conducted by Guggenheim curator Ashley James discusses both the exhibition as well as Pindell’s career as one of the first Black curators at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
