John Edmonds: A Sidelong Glance
18 February – 19 June 2022
“John Edmonds (1989, US) is the winner of the Foam Paul Huf Award 2021. His solo solo A Sidelong Glance at Foam is part of this prize.
In his work, Edmonds examines issues of identity and power from an African-American perspective in an apparently simple yet essentially culturally complex way. His layered work is a reinterpretation of that past, emphasizing the black human subject and cultural artifacts. The African art objects he uses in his work have many facets, but whether they are symbols of traditional African cultural heritage or bearers of meanings of diaspora and memory, in his work they function as a means to interpret concepts such as displacement and expropriation in contemporary society. to investigate. Not only does he broaden the tradition of studio portraiture, he also thoughtfully claims his place in rewriting the past and anchors it in our current world, where authenticity and identity are fluid.”
