Mark Bradford: In Conversation | Artist's Talk | Tate

Watch renowned artist Mark Bradford in conversation with curator Michael Auping.

Based in Los Angeles, Mark Bradford creates large-scale paintings characterised by their distinctive layering of materials and political insights. Bradford discusses how he uses merchant billboards, posters and other found materials to engage issues of race, queerness and social inequality. The discussion traces the evolution of Bradford’s practice and explores his unique relationship to paper as both an ordinary material and an extraordinary conveyor of society’s intentions and rights.

The event is the first in a new iteration of the American Artist Lecture Series, a collaboration between Tate, Art in Embassies, and US Embassy London. Previous speakers in the series have included Glenn Ligon, Julie Mehretu, Spencer Finch, Richard Tuttle, Brice Marden, and Maya Lin.
