Untitled (The greatest [Black] art history story ever told. Unfinished), Interpreted

Ceremonies Out of the Air

For these gallery talks, invited guests respond to Ralph Lemon’s narrative epic, Untitled (The greatest [Black] art history story ever told. Unfinished) (2015–), a layered and colorful series of works on paper. Lemon notes: “It is clear to me that the series will never be finished. … I’ve found something that will take the rest of my life to do, because [the work] is dealing with charged places, architecture, and people historically and presently, and also in some sort of illusory future, and none of that is going to stop.”

MoMA PS1 presents Rant #6, the latest iteration of Lemon’s critical collaborative work. Each performance is conceived as “a very loud site-specific sound, movement, voice, Brown/Black body cultural experiment in rage, freedom and or ecstasy…” In Rant #6, funk, text, and trance movement collide in exhaustion and emphatic resistance.
