EXTENDED until OCT 27 - Solo exhibition at the Morris Graves Museum of Art, 13 July - August 25 2019. Opening reception Saturday August 3rd 6-9 pm, Artist Talk Sunday August 4th at 2 pm. Shown: Pelican Music and Swallow, both 26" x 40" - ink, pencil, color pencil on paper; and Plunge Dive, studio and installation views, 3' x 42' - ink, acrylic, pencil, color pencil, china marker on Mylar Vellum; book works; and cadavre exquis collaborations (with poet Ted Joans, and with Penelope Rosemont, Franklin Rosemont, Jack Foley, Adelle Foley, and Neeli Cherkovski).

The practice of the cadavre exquis is an important part of life.   Long Distance is a very special cadavre exquis collective drawing created by poet Ted Joans. There are 132 contributors, of which I'm the last. Long Distance appears in the exhibition "David Hammons : Ted Joans: Exquisite Corpse" March 16 - May 26 2019 at Lumiar Cite / Maumaus in Lisbon, Portugal. This image shows the last eight panels of the drawing, by Homero Aridjis, Robert Colescott, Robert Farris Thompson, Quincy Troupe, Bruce Connor, David Hammons, Ron Sakolsky, and me.  The exhibition presents both a video by David Hammons, and the drawing itself. I will be part of a conversation with the curators, Manthia Diawara and Terri Geis, on March 16 2019. NEWS
