Water from the Atlantic ocean, the artist’s bodily fluids, lint from laundromats in Black neighborhoods, a musical sample from Tyler, the Creator, and “believing in the possibility of a safe future” are just a handful of the materials used in Derrick Woods-Morrow’s “Gravity Pleasure Switchback.
The artist’s first major solo exhibition explores the relationship between rest and labor and the desire for community and isolation.Much of the work here honors academic Christina Sharpe’s concept of “wake work,” an expansive idea that touches on paying attention to the realities of Black life, communal care, and the affirmation of life and ability to imagine new futures—all of which exist in the heavy aftermath of slavery.
, with a focus on the women and children spectators in the audience—a study of Black masculinity and the importance of female caretakers.Throughout the exhibition are gorgeous sculptural shards of glass that the artist infused “with a portion of the Wendy’s” where Rayshard Brooks was murdered by a police officer in Atlanta, just weeks after the killing of George Floyd.
