Book synopsis

Rodney McMillian's oeuvre includes painting, sculpture, and installations as well as video, per- formance, and sound works. His focus is on the role of Black people in art history and in the context of life in the US. However, in its thematic and formal rigour, following the trajectory set out by American abstract expressionism and socially critical post-minimalism, his work goes far beyond this. In dealing with categorizations of economic status, race, gender, and tradition, it becomes a material treatise on the social fabric of the US. Rodney McMillian-The Land: Not Without a Politic reproduces the first European survey exhibition of the same name that ran at Marta Herford and embeds it in the broader context of McMillian's oeuvre and diverse social and art-historical discourses.Rodney McMillian is a professor Chair of the Department of Sculpture in the Department of Art of the UCLA School of Arts and Architecture at the University of California, Los Angeles. He studied international relations at the University of Virginia and then visual arts and other subjects at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. McMillian's work has been presented internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
