Title: Back to Black: art, cinema and the racial imaginary, 7 June - 4 September 2005
Author: Marcus Verhagan
Review of the group exhibition that took place at Whitechapel Gallery, London. Review contains photographic reproduction: Gordon Parks, Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver with a portrait of Huey Newton 1970. From the article: “It is a busy, garrulous, polyphonic show - and one that covers different places and media. The curators, Richard J Powell, David A Bailey and Petrine Archer-Shaw, concentrate on developments in the US, Jamaica and Britain, showing film clips, fashion designs and album covers alongside paintings, prints and sculptures. And like Rhapsodies in Black, the 1997 Hayward show on the Harlem Renaissance, which was also curated by Powell and Bailey, Back to Black is accompanied by a fine, ambitious catalogue.”
