In advance of the May 25 opening of Shade: Clyfford Still / Mark Bradford at the Albright-Knox, Mark Bradford will give a public talk on May 24 at PS 192 Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts. Bradford will speak about his work as an artist and his cofounding of Art + Practice, an arts and education nonprofit in Los Angeles' Leimert Park neighborhood whose mandate is to create an educational platform that supports the acquisition of practical skills for foster youth and stresses the cultural importance of art within a larger social context.
The talk will be followed by a community reception during which Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts students will unveil a mural they are working on inspired by the work of Mark Bradford.
