Viewing Social Works II

At Gagosian London explore Social Works II curated by Antwaun Sargent highlighting artists from the African diaspora and their insights into the relationship between space—personal, public, institutional, and psychic—and social and artistic practice. The innovative show highlights how geography helps shape personal and social identity. Sumayya Vally, principal of the Johannesburg/London-based studio Counterspace and architect of the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion, has created a wall fragment that will transform itself over time. Architect and artist David Adjaye presents a group of sculptural forms made using a rammed earth technique inherited from West African architectural vernacular. The mixed media show also features a poignant series of oils and watercolours What black is this you say? (2020–21) by Amanda Williams produced as a bold response to the recent tumultuous racial events in the United States. Tyler Mitchell’s photographs meditate on home and leisure offer up a new vision of the American pastoral idyll.
