Logan Lecture: A Conversation with David Huffman

Join a talk with artist David Huffman, who creates “social abstractions,” large-scale paintings combining social and political themes with inventive abstract mark-making.

In his paintings, Huffman transports us to celestial realms where images of basketballs float like planetary bodies while the circuitous netting of hoop chains grounds his work in the urban environment of his youth. His current work recalls NASA’s Cold War-era space race and Sun Ra’s hypnotic sonic experimentations to envision a world where Black Americans may freely prosper.
