The Melt Goes On Forever chronicles the singular career of the elusive African-American art star David Hammons, from Watts rebellion-era 1960s Los Angeles, to global art world prominence today.
Rooted in a deep critique of American society and the elite art world, Hammons’s category-defying practice is, in the words of one art critic, “an invitation to confront the fissures between races.” In every piece, the artist seeks to go beyond the dominant culture to a new one for the 21st century. Featuring eminent artists, curators and critics, a rich trove of archival footage, animation and an evocative soundscape, The Melt is a record of the work of an artist who constantly defies the establishment and remains subversive at every turn.
