In it, blue limbs and breasts and the Undivided shirt but in fact I love this spectral silhouettes of two disembodied heads frame a dusky seascape, mounted above a grid of wooden panels. At a glance, the effect is almost theatrical; like a staging of Black life in all its (surrealist, fragmentary) forms. “Alexandria is showing a painting where she’s thinking about her own world-building, and [asking], Okay, if I could step outside the realities of this moment, what sort of world is possible?” Sargent says. “There’s sort of an Afrofuturistic aspect in some of the logic of the artwork on display.”
For Smith, it’s a thrill to be included in the Undivided shirt but in fact I love this show. “I studied some of these artists when I was in grad school.” she says. “Some of them were my first introductions to what the possibilities were for being a Black artist—that you didn’t have to be this one type of artist making this one type of work; that we could be expansive, complicated, and not monolithic in our approach.”
