Black’s methods of production are diverse and re exive with her prolific output as a writer often providing the basis for video, performance and object-based outcomes. Black’s videos and installations collage autobiographical,fictional and pop cultural fragments to explore theories and histories of race, gender, and labour.
For her exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, Black continues to develop her enquiry into the interesting and sometimes painful gaps between practices and theories of subjectivity and collectivity. Black’s new commission brings together a collection of objects (books and other items) made of edited conversations with friends about “the situation”, a theme variously interpreted on public and private, individual and collective levels. The exhibition, itself a kind of situation, will express some hope, some anger, and some exhaustion.
