Talk, Kevin Jerome Everson

In his short films, artist Kevin Jerome Everson holds the camera both close to his heart and close to his subjects. Weaving told narrative with archival footage and staged scenes, Everson pans through the textures of everyday African-American life — patiently focusing on details in movement and conflict to make material its social, political and economic conditions. Everson is Professor of Art at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and has most recently exhibited his work at the Carnegie Museum of Art in the 57th Carnegie International (2018) and at BAMcinemaFest (2018). He has had mid-career retrospectives at the Tate Modern (2017), the Whitney Museum of American Art (2011) and Centre Pompidou (2009).
