<p><b>New abstract works by Adam Pendleton that expand the language of Black Dada, both visually and spatially</b></p><p>Through his dynamic paintings and text-based works, Black Dada pioneer Adam Pendleton (born 1984) continually focuses on the intersection between Blackness, abstraction and the avant-garde. <i>An Abstraction</i> is both a document and an evolution of Pendleton's first solo show at Pace's New York gallery in 10 years, epitomizing his "[fight] for the right to exist in and through abstraction." Comprised of 12 paintings and 13 drawings from the artist's <i>Black Dada</i> and <i>Untitled (Days)</i> bodies of work, hanging within a monumental, site-specific architecture consisting of five black triangular forms, <i>An Abstraction</i> reorders the gallery into new, unexpected spaces. Each new work also features a typographic letter from the phrase "Black Dada," thus creating a new pictorial language for the movement.</p>
