André Leon Gray is an interdisciplinary, self-taught artist who seeks to engage the public in a critical dialogue that challenges power structures and disrupts social hierarchies. Meditating on culture, identity, and history, Gray’s work illuminates the complex duality of remembering and forgetting by constantly rousing the past and present through installations of drawings, paintings, sculptures, collages, and videos. Gray’s multimedia approach involves rigorous research and development, often requiring him to collaborate with research institutions, scholars, architects, visual artists, filmmakers, and musicians. His pre-production techniques often include activating seemingly objects through seemingly random juxtapositions. This improvisational strategy has sonic origins in jazz and be-bop, as well as in freestyle rapping. You can learn more about this artist at www.andreleongray.art.
