For these gallery talks, invited guests respond to Ralph Lemon’s narrative epic, Untitled (The greatest [Black] art history story ever told. Unfinished) (2015–), a layered and colorful series of works on paper. Lemon notes: “It is clear to me that the series will never be finished. … I’ve found something that will take the rest of my life to do, because [the work] is dealing with charged places, architecture, and people historically and presently, and also in some sort of illusory future, and none of that is going to stop.”
Culminating twenty years of collaboration between Ralph Lemon and dancer Darrell Jones, Low makes its world premiere at MoMA PS1 this February.
