The Anti-Monuments of Torkwase Dyson

Torkwase Dyson’s latest exhibition at Gray’s Chicago Gallery challenges traditional art historical distinctions between representation and abstraction. Her work explores Black spatiotemporal materiality through a process she calls “Black Compositional Thought,” which delves into the complex interplay between Black geographies and a politicized abstraction rooted in environmental degradation.

The exhibition, titled “Of Line and Memory,” showcases Dyson’s innovative approach to sculpture, painting, and construction. One of the standout pieces is “Aya,” a monumental sculpture made of graphite, wood, and steel. This imposing work critiques public infrastructure failures while inviting viewers to interact with it in a non-traditional manner.

In the second gallery space, Dyson’s paintings exhibit her unique compositional style, with deep blues and reds contrasting against jet-black backgrounds. These paintings evoke a sense of action and change, with precise white lines and arcs creating a dynamic visual experience.

The third gallery features Dyson’s “hypershape” constructions, made of frosted cast glass and graphite-coated wood. These geometric forms challenge our perception of materials and space, creating a rhythmic interplay that extends the exhibition’s ecological themes.

Overall, “Of Line and Memory” offers a thought-provoking exploration of Black aesthetics and environmental justice. The exhibition will be on display at Gray Gallery until January 25th, showcasing Dyson’s groundbreaking work at the intersection of art and activism.
