To accompany the exhibition Thought, outside curator Amy Kazymerchyk recorded conversations with the artists Craig Berggold, Laiwan, Melinda Mollineaux and Susan Stewart.
Podcast # 1
Laiwan and Melinda Mollineaux discuss the historical context and conditions within which their respective artworks African Notes Part 1 & 2 (1982) and Cadboro Bay: Index to an Incomplete History (1998) were made; and the formal and technical restoration that was required to present these works in 2020. They reflect upon how the notion of cyclical dialectics resonates with the endurance of these artworks and their formal and conceptual qualities, as well as the artists’ personal histories, artistic practices and social commitments.
