Please join Hashimoto Contemporary Los Angeles Director Dasha Matsuura as she discusses the Killing the Negative series with poet and educator Quraysh Ali Lansana and draftsman Joel Daniel Phillips, both Tulsa Artist Fellowship 2021 Arts Integration Awardees. In addition to a discussion about their collaboration, Lansana will be reading several of his own poems as well as works by U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, Rose McLarney and Candace Wiley in response to Phillips’ drawings currently on view in the Hashimoto Contemporary Los Angeles gallery from October 9-30.
Elaborating on Killing the Negative series, Phillips solo exhibition will include his signature graphite drawings and a selection of oil paintings. Grappling with power, race, class, and stratified socio-economic issues, the ongoing body of work is a meditative response to a selection of Government censored photographs commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression.
