Arthur Jafa: BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG | 011 | 52 Walker | EXHIBITION PREVIEW
52 Walker's eleventh exhibition, BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG, features a large-scale installation and new and recent paintings, sculptures, and film by Los Angeles-based artist Arthur Jafa (b. 1960). Lauded for his achievements as a filmmaker and cinematographer as well as a visual artist, Jafa has developed an incisive, chameleonic practice, through which he seeks to unravel the cultural significance and strictures ascribed in tandem upon Black existence in the Western world. In BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG, Jafa invokes the body’s personal, political, and industrial guises in one fell swoop, deftly interweaving images and objects to create a forceful and maximal space that beckons toward engulfment and revelation alike.
Jafa’s exhibition at 52 Walker brings to the surface questions of form, force, and resistance- in addition to tensions that result from common slips and errors. The title of the show, BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG, applies strategies of sequencing and juxtaposition, channeling various meanings in its wordplay-including political ideologies, industrial terminologies, and the specter of death-while also nodding to the complexities of the word “black” and its many inflections. Favoring intuitive arrangement over uniformity, the artist eschews traditionally monolithic modes of presentation and instead coheres multiple simultaneous events, applying a decidedly Black and non-Western viewpoint that confronts twentieth-century art historiography and museology’s indebtedness to African aesthetics.
Arthur Jafa: BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG is curated by Ebony L. Haynes and presented by 52 Walker.
Arthur Jafa: BLACK POWER TOOL AND DIE TRYNIG was on view from April 05 - June 01, 2024.

    For the longest time I hated her paintings. I thought they profited off the objectification of women - the fact she’s a women artist means little to me. And then I began to look at the backgrounds, how beautiful and far reaching they are and how impossible they are to look at due to these voluptuous, implausible female bodies in the way. I realized her work speaks to the Achilles heel our desire have, how our mentalities prevent us from perceiving. At the same time these women have lives of their own, they are through our perception of them realized, as well all are. I think she is a brilliant artist, many imitators but no one surpasses her.

    I wonder how talks like this fall on non-artist ears. For a painter, this was pure shop talk. His mention of it taking a min. to screw up the courage to allow drawing back in, and the wonderful breakdown of sitting to working ratio and the security guard analogy was an absolute home run. Also really appreciated how he explained his concept of titling his pieces - exactly right - they set the ambiance, but do not throw down a specific subject that the viewer then maps to the abstraction. Great video, really generous with pacing and vivid IMAX level views of the show. Merci!

      I stumbled across a snippet of this on a reel and was immediately drawn in by how he explained the works. He explains in a way that correlates to some of the reasons why we enjoy certain works, but can’t quite express the reason why as simple but elegantly as Joe does. As someone who collects occasionally, understanding the Artist’s thought process is as enjoyable and an integral part of enjoying the work overall.

    Would have loved to hear him talk more about sitting in the studio AND the drawing / painting connection. What's his keep / toss ratio, for example, in the drawings. I love how decisive and unlabored the drawings look - where do these images come from? Gotta see this show before it leaves.
