Celebrating its history of engaging artists in critical conversations, the Rose Art Museum introduces Encore Presentations, a new series highlighting standout programs from the museum’s archives.
This Encore Presentation features a 2015 conversation between pioneering contemporary artist Melvin Edwards, Christopher Bedford, Rose Director (2012–2016), and Professor Chad Williams, Chair of the Department of African and African American Studies at Brandeis University. This conversation was part of a project titled: Art | Blackness | Diaspora.
Celebrated for his distinctive sculptures and three-dimensional installations created from welded steel, barbed wire, chain, and machine parts, Melvin Edwards (b. 1937) is considered a pioneer in the history of contemporary African-American art. Perhaps best known for his Lynch Fragments series, his work engages with the history of abstraction and themes of race, protest, and social injustice.
We are pleased to re-air this program and welcome you to visit the Rose to see Edwards’ Loving Spiral (2005) and Nigerian Diamond (1978), now on view as part of the exhibition: re: collections, Six Decades at the Rose Art Museum.
This Encore Presentation will be hosted online via Zoom. Registration is required.
