Happy birthday, Adam Pendleton (@pendleton.adam), born #onthisday! Pulling from a wide range of mediums including collage, painting, writing, printmaking, video, and publishing, Pendleton utilizes language as his primary tool, recontextualizing appropriated imagery to shed light on underrepresented historical narratives. He is particularly interested in social resistance and avant-garde artistic movements, and has synthesized a variety of practices under the rubric of ‘Black Dada,’ a term borrowed from the poet Amiri Baraka. Pendleton is included in the group exhibition, ‘Burning at the Edges,’ on view at the @longlatifoundation, Shanghai, through January 15, 2023.
