Talk:Mark Bradford

But... what about his art? It says nothing about it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.43.247 (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I work for Mark Bradford and therefore have a conflict of interest. I'd like to propose several improvements to the article, but worry the work itself would be quite extensive, so I've edited the existing article here in hopes of making the suggestions easier to review and implement. Below is a brief summary of the included changes (many of which are also marked in the draft itself):

1. I'd like to propose changing the "Work" section to "Work and career", with the following subsections: "Notable works", "Commissions", "Other projects", and "Art+Practice". These will better categorize the works already included in the article.
2. The current article does not list any of the works in chronological order. I've rearranged them in the draft.
3. Fix inaccurate, unsourced, outdated or misspelled information.
4. The "Personal life" section focuses solely on Bradford's sexuality, which is only relevant due to its influence on his art. I propose moving the content of this section to "Work and career" and removing "Personal life" from the article. I've included a reworded version in the draft for your review.
5. Remove the "See also" section, as its relevance here is quite vague

Thanks a lot for your time. Looking forward to working on this, Stewart for HW (talk) 17:16, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

I've also made some changes with the subsequent edit. Please try to find sources for the citation needed tags before someone else removes it. And thank you for providing a draft which makes reviewing and implementing changes easier -- I wish more people did that. 15 (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

15, thank you so much for your help with this. Greatly appreciate it. I'm glad to hear the draft format made things easier to review! I will look into sources for the original content as you suggested. Thanks again, Stewart for HW (talk) 17:34, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Stewart again. I'd like to propose several additions to the article:

• In Notable works:

Bradford revisited the theme for his 2021 painting ‘Tulsa Gottdamn’ to mark the centennial observance of the massacre. ^[1] after the line that reads "In 2006, Bradford painted 'Scorched Earth' and 'Black Wall Street', based on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre."

• At the end of the Other projects section:

In 2020, Bradford partnered with Snap Inc. to create a lens for the Snapchat app to drive voter registration among users aged 18-24.^[2] Also in 2020, accompanying ‘End Papers’ at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Bradford curated a set of three billboards throughout the city for the museum’s program Modern Billings. The billboards featured images of Mr. LaMarr, a popular hairdresser in 1970s and 80s St. Louis, and a close associate of Bradford’s longtime friend, Cleo Hill-Jackson. Tiffany Wolf Smith, an assistant curator of education at the Modern described Modern Billings as an opportunity to “insert art directly into our communities outside of our museum walls.”^[3]

To accompany his exhibition ‘Masses & Movements’ in Menorca, Spain, Bradford collaborated with students from the local Escola d’Art de Menorca on a month-long art education residency that explored the global refugee crisis featuring maps of the world and immigration routes. The collaboration marked the inauguration of his initiative with PILA Global, an educational organization focused on displaced and impoverished families.^[4][5]

• At the end of the Exhibitions section:

Also in 2020, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth mounted a survey exhibition featuring a large selection of Bradford’s earliest paintings, created out of end papers.^[6] The exhibition draws a line from his use of end papers to his later use of other types of paper such as merchant posters, advertising broadsides, and billboards found around Los Angeles.^[7]

‘Masses & Movements’, a solo Bradford exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, inaugurated the gallery’s newest location in Menorca, Spain on July 19, 2021. The exhibition consisted of an installation of globe sculptures, a two-part site-specific wall painting, and 16 works on canvas based on Martin Waldseemüller’s map from 1507 that was the first to use the name ‘America’.^[8]

In November 2021, Bradford opened ‘Agora’, curated by Philippe Vergne, at the Fundação de Serralves. The survey exhibition features works from the last three years including a series of new paintings based on the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries, a selection of paintings based on the myth of ‘Cerbrus’, and Bradford’s Quarantine Paintings.^[9]

• At the end of the Honors and awards section:

In 2021, Bradford was on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People.^[10]
