Concept of the Artist

Contemporary art always had an essential role to play within our societies. From early futurism to expressionism, performance art and other modern movements in between ? many of them served to raise awareness or influence changes within communities in one way or another. All these movements aimed at different social aspects that made sense at the time. The same goes for David Hammons, an artist who tried to tackle problems he saw every day in Los Angeles and New York, issues usually connected to racial discrimination and prejudices towards black people. Much of his work makes allusions to, and shares concerns with minimalism and post-minimal art, but with added Duchampian references to the place of Black people in American culture.
