Ep. 120: Artist Derek Fordjour

A conversation with artist Derek Fordjour about his paintings, sculptures and installations that raise questions of race, identity, and inequality. Derek discusses the journey from his youth as the son of immigrants in Memphis to the inner sanctum of the art world. He also talks about his new show titled "SCORE" opening November 10 at Petzel Gallery in New York. Like his 2020 "SELF MUST DIE" exhibit at Petzel, "SCORE" transforms the exhibit space and utilizes performance to push the bounds of what we think of as a gallery exhibit.
