Todd Gray, Euclidean Gris Gris Tropic of Entropy, 2019, Four archival pigment prints with UV laminate in artist's frames, 73 3/4 x 90 x 4 1/2 in.
Join MAM Conversations as we visit photographer Todd Gray in Los Angeles. Todd’s work explores issues of black masculinity, diaspora, and power, both historical and contemporary. He is inspired by cultural connections to West Africa, particularly Ghana, which has become his second home. We’ll be discussing his recent projects as well as MAM’s new acquisition of his work, Euclidean Gris Gris: Tropic of Entropy.
Nana Adusei-Poku will be moderating the conversation. She is the Senior Academic Advisor and Luma Fellow at the Center for Curatorial Studies and Contemporary Art at Bard College. She previously worked with Todd on the exhibition Todd Gray: Euclidean Gris Gris held at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College. Nana explores cultural shifts as reflected in art and culture, the black diasporas, and critical pedagogy.
