KARA WALKER AND MARK BRADFORD AT SIKKEMA JENKINS, NEW YORK
James Kalm makes a must-see stop during the opening night of the 2009 season in Chelsea for this double bill. Both Kara Walker and Mark Bradford have gained recognition for their work with paper, cut silhouettes for the former and grand scaled collage for the latter. Walker weaves a narrative derived from the history of slavery and repression, while Bradford imbues his work with an abject elegance capturing the essence and life of contemporary urban neighborhoods. This film includes an interview with Kara Walker who discusses the painterly direction of some of her recent work.
