Titus Kaphar // CARTE BLANCHE w/ Exhibiting Forgiveness
- Fri, Nov 15
Run Time: 177 min.
Tickets $65. Titus Kaphar is a world-renowned, multi-faced artist whose paintings, sculptures, and installations examine the history of representation by transforming its styles and mediums with formal innovations to emphasize the physicality and dimensionality of the canvas and materials themselves. His practice seeks to dislodge history from its status as the “past” to unearth its contemporary relevance. He cuts, crumples, shrouds, shreds, stitches, tars, twists, binds, erases, breaks, tears, and turns the paintings and sculptures he creates, reconfiguring them into works that reveal unspoken truths about the nature of history. In so doing, Kaphar aims to reveal something of what has been lost and to investigate the power of a rewritten history. Titus has recently turned his attention to filmmaking with his short Shut Up and Paint and debut feature film, Exhibiting Forgiveness, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Kaphar and Director of PAM CUT Amy Dotson will discuss his work as a world-renowned polymath creative and activist, with particular focus on his newest foray into cinematic work.
