      Repost from @art.viewer 🙏 “Prudent Triangle” at @labscontemporaryart “In Popa’s poetry I found a reckoning with time that felt compatible with my own. One of his translators, the poet Charles Simic, calls this a question of authenticity in language. “What words would we trust today is the pressing question? What words would our ancestors use?” What colors would we trust today? What colors would our ancestors use? As I painted in a country deluded by white supremacy, I thought of my ancestors—among them Jews in the Soviet Union, some who left when it was still possible and others who stayed. I know very little about them, having been shaped by the always-forgetting of white American identity. The histories of colonial violence built into such an identity are not past, but constant—while writing this, white real-estate agents are flying in private jets to storm the U.S. capitol in scenes of grievance that recall the white backlash to Reconstruction.” More writing for the show can be found at the link in my bio. Closes April 24 ❤️ curated by @domenico_de_chirico ❤️
