Black Futures, 2020 by Logan Dandridge at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center
On view: October 26-December 1, 2020
Greencastle, IN – DePauw University presents the exhibition Black Futures, a selection of new media art by Logan Dandridge opening October 26 and runs through December 1, 2020.
Music is central to Dandridge’s work, and his research and video installations explore the musical technique of counterpoint, which the artist describes as the “art of balancing similarity and difference to create harmony between separate melodies.” The images, language, and music in Dandridge’s videos are perpetually new, even to repeat visitors to the exhibition, as the videos are of different lengths and are constantly shifting in their relationship to one another, creating opportunities for different perspectives and nuanced responses. In this way, Dandridge is interested in the “associative dialogue” that emerges through “visual montage, proximity and simultaneity.” In response to the work, Dandridge observes that “within these emanations, the pride, beauty, and fear that infuse Black music is momentarily visible. Images are sometimes just documents, some are provocation, but others are testimony: The sound is the picture.” Discover more about Logan Dandridge’s influences and processes through a live interactive event on Instagram on November 18th at 8:30 p.m.
