Cinematographer and artist Arthur Jafa hosts an evening in response to his summer exhibition at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery,
A Series of Utterly Improbable, Yet Extraordinary Renditions – which will also be open until 7.30PM to accompany this Park Night.
Arthur Jafa’s work is driven by a recurrent question: how might one identify and develop a specifically Black visual aesthetics equal to the ‘power, beauty and alienation’ of Black music in US culture?
Presented as part of
Park Nights 2017, the Serpentine’s experimental, interdisciplinary live platform, programmed for the Galleries’ annual architectural commission, the Serpentine Pavilion – which is this year supported by the Goethe-Institut.
